Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is your suggestion that God is a four foot eight
woman driving a nineteen ninety four Honda Civic out of
the driveway at Whole Foods, looking to her right but
not looking to her left.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know what's funny is I followed you into the
garage today and there was a woman who was trying
to go into the garage through the out and I
almost said to you as we.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Got out of the car, women, am I right?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Having no idea what you had just gone through with
the four foot eight woman?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, and she had tried to back up without looking
that there was anybody behind her.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, so that was going to be the first thing
I said as women, Am I right? And then I
didn't because I didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And then it would have made perfect sense, like I
got in trouble yesterday for what?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And that was your fault because you were the one
who brought up the topic all Olympic sports that we
no longer engage in.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Is this the motor boating thing where they would race boats. Yes,
they would race boats.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, just letting you know you walked me into that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, this didn't get off to a good start, but
neither did the interview with President Trump and.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Eon Musk last night.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What's going on with the slurring? What is that?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I wish I listened to it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I listened to say is that an audio issue?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think it's a little bit of both. After I
saw a picture, Well, here's the here's the that's how
it started.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
So my pledges for the late start.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
We unfortunately had a massive distributed nihilox service attack against
our servers and.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Saturated all our all of our.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Data lines, like basically hundreds of kickabits of data were saturated.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
They did get started about forty five minutes late.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
He's got the personality of a wet mop. I just
find him so uninteresting and so not entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well I wouldn't say I would say not entertaining, but
not uninteresting. I thought some of the stuff that he
was talking about was pretty amazing, just in terms of
his I think of the things that he the things
that he does every single day, and he's got room
to talk about pology.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Just his delivery for me.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yes, that I will agree is not great.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I got to admit I did not listen to
much of this. I listened to clips about it. I
was on hold. I was in the space on X
waiting to.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I gotta say the hold music was pretty relaxing. It
was some of the best hold music I've heard. I
didn't catch any of it until after it started. I
didn't start listening until about six I listened about twenty
minutes in, or it should have been twenty minutes into
it and it was still on delay.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One of the first things they talked about, obviously, is
the assassination attempt, despite the former president saying he was
only going to talk about it once because it's really
and we said it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
He's not going to talk about it once. He's going
to talk about it over and over and over again.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Well, and I mean, speaking of the.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Sort of slide that got you to that saved her life,
really was the illegal immigration slide? Maybe maybe we're talking
about about that. It was it was that slight.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Now the illegal immigration saved my life, You're right, but
had to be at an exact angle.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean, that's that's a great one.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
You know, the incredible thing though, when you talk about
the odds, you had to be exactly at that angle.
But the incredible thing is that the chart I used
it less than twenty percent of the time. It was
just a moment. It's always on my left, never my right,
and it's always as the end of the speech.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now he goes on and talks about the woman who
is in charge of the PowerPoint at his places. He
came up and he actually brought her on stage or
earlier this week and thanked her for saving his life.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The speaking thing, the speech.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Impediment or whatever it was. So there's two things going on.
One of them is the weird audio processing, Yes, that
goes on in that in those Twitter spaces like that
makes it sound a little weird. It's a zoom call
basically that we all get to listen in on. But
there was a picture also that I saw later last
night that showed the President talking to Elon Musk and
(04:18):
the setup that he had. They didn't put him in
a studio somewhere with a microphone and a nice Comrax line. No, No,
they had him sitting at a desk leaning over his
phone while he was talking to him. And I think
part of it is Yes, there's the sound of the processing,
but it's also when you do that with your face,
you're gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
It's gonna sound fine.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm surprised that Trump okayed this platform because he was
one of the early critics when DeSantis had his rollout disaster. Yeah,
and that's what he called it, Trump a disaster.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So I'm surprised you rolled the dice with this one.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, and I it's the Democrats didn't like it. We'll
talk about what Kamala Harris's response to this was, and
then Elon Musk's response to Kamala Harris's response.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, if you need help with your online shopping addiction,
don't go to Amazon. Amazon now teaming up with TikTok
and Pinterest, so TikTok or Pinterest users will now be
able to link their social media accounts to their Amazon account,
and then once those are synced, you can buy items
directly from Amazon while still being within either of the
(05:22):
social media apps. So you don't have to take a
break from social media and TikTok to shop.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You don't have to pull the needle out of your arm.
You just keep shooting it up. Where was this four
years ago? When COVID was a thing, man, could you
imagine people would have we would become blobs.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Well, I don't think that pale blob.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
To out you.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But the other day you were deep into China, you
were into the TikTok, you were watching pet videos.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So it's okay. It's just like I didn't know you
were into tikshop.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
As long as I know when to stop.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Minnesota gouner Tim Walls making his first solo appearance as
vice president Kamala Harris is running. He'll be at the
American Federation of State County Municipal Employees convention at the
LA Convention Center, and then later today's at a fundraiser
down in Newport Beach, a series of fundraisers actually over
the next couple of days. Tropical Storm Ernesto expected to
(06:15):
hit the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other parts of
the Caribbean with some heavy rain and strong winds over
the next few days, prompting some warnings. It is not
not expected to affect mainland United States.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
We've got a problem here locally. Apparently about four law
enforcement people have been indicted for a phony scam, extortion
scam for a rich guy in Orange County. One of
the former law enforcement people was pretty instrumental in many
cases here in La County with robbery, homicide, and all
(06:49):
those cases he was instrumental in are now up in
the air because of his criminal involvement.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, we're talking about last night's big interview. Elon Musk
sat down in an interview with Donald Trump on Twitter
slash x. He wrote a short time ago that the
combined views of the conversation and subsequent discussion by other
accounts is about a billion. Between seven forty seven and
ten forty seven last night Eastern time, the Space post
(07:18):
received spaces that's the venue basically where they were doing
the interview, received seventy three million vote views, and during
that same period there were four million posts about the
conversation on x, so the total generation was about nine
hundred and ninety eight million views.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But there was an audible lisp.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
A Trump campaign spokesperson has denied any sort of speech
condition or teeth issue, saying quoting here must be your
SI hearing, but said the whole word get your ears
checked out.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, that's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
There was something.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Blame the audio, blame the feed, but we all heard
what we heard.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Don't tell me that I didn't hear that, especially if
it was brought up by multiple people independent of each other.
So this was another one of the comments that he made.
This was more a conversation than it was a Q
and A because Elon Musk bared a lot of his
political soul last night, explaining in different at different times
(08:20):
sort of his evolution and his decision to eventually endorse
former President Trump.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
America is kind of at a folk in the road
and and I think it will take it will take
the path like you other path to prosperity, and I
think Kamala is the opposite. Then that's my I mean,
that's my opinion. I'm gonna I'm go an get attacked
like crazy. And you know, I've also experienced quite a
bit of lowfair myself, and but I'm just trying to
(08:48):
tell people my honest opinion. And I haven't been active
and really active in politics before, and I'm just trying
to point out that my track record historically has been moderate.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
If not moderate, slightly left, and and.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
So this is the people out there who are in
the moderate camp to say, I think you should support
Donald Trump for president and I think it's actually a
very important junction in the road, and we're a deep
trouble if it.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
If it goes the other way, well, I.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Want to thank you. And you know I actually always
did think of you as somewhat left I must say that.
So it's even more of an honor to have your endorsement.
I know how strong you feel about it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So listen, Okay, Now I have the benefit. Now today,
take a shower. These two guys are going to get
on it. I have the benefit of listening with headphones.
Yesterday wasn't listening on headphones. It was just listening on
my phone. So it does sound more like it is
an audio issue than it is a speech issue.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Just based on the my hair list.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, if you had a legit lisp and somebody in
the room heard that, they would pull the plug because
it sounds like he had a stroke or something. The
Hairs campaign slammed the two hour interview, mocked the technical challenges,
a slam Trump for aiming to serve self obsessed rich
(10:05):
guys like himself. Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous Project twenty
twenty five agenda is a feature, not a glitch, of
his campaign which was on full display for those unlucky
enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on
X So.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, then I don't know, then do something about it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Neither one of these people can do anything without the
other one saying what an unmitigated disaster it was. I'm
not going to go to Harris for her response on
the Trump interview. I'm not going to go to Trump
for his response on something Harris did. They can do
no right in each other's eyes. That's what we've said.
The ship has sailed when it comes to decorum in
(10:51):
political discourse, especially between the two warring parties.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
One of the things was that Tim Walls had suggested
that this was a it was one of the world's
richest men and Elon Musk interviewing another one of the
world's richest men, Donald Trump, on arguably one of the
most important social media platforms that exists in the world
because of its reach. Elon Musk then turns around and said,
I'll gladly interview Kamala Harris if the Vice President wants
(11:17):
to come forward and sit down for another for a
two and a half interview, basically two and a half
hour interview that he did he'd be he'd be glad
to do that. But she's not going to do that
because whether she disagrees with Elon Musk, which she doesn't
know until she sits down and talks with him, I
don't know. I mean, immediately this went out as a
fundraising pitch for I mean, Trump sneezes and Harris is
(11:41):
going to do a fundraising pitch. Tim Walls makes some
stupid comment about being creepy or weird, and the Trump
Vance campaign is going to.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Turn it all on raising.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And that's part of the thing that's so annoying to
me is the hypocrisy on both sides.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Just juvenile Russian President Vladimir Putin is promising to kick
the enemy out of his country's territory. It emerged that
Ukrainian troops have now gained control of dozens of villages
inside Russia and pretty large swaths swaths, swaths, swaths. Sounds
like I'm reading the The chance Cheterbury Tale by Jeffrey Chaucer.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yes, we were both that the same thought, but we're idiots.
So Ernesto, We're going.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
To dodge or Neesto, Ernesto probably not going to hit us.
It's already the fifth name storm of the twenty twenty
four Atlantic hurricane season. Oh and guess what another dead whale?
In fact, a few dead whales, we're saying Up in
San Francisco, a dead humpback whale washed up on a
beach a couple of days ago. People got reports they
saw other dead whales floating in the water nearby. Scientists
(12:51):
with the California Academy of Science has performed a netcropcy
thirty one foot long whale near Fort Funston. Was determined
that it was a young male that had likely been
attacked by an orca based on the multiple markings found
throughout the body.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
So what do we do with it?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We blow it up.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
The FBI is looking into suspected the.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Hacking attempts by Iran targeting both the Trump campaign and
what was then the Biden Harris campaign. Three staffers on
the Biden Harris campaign did receive spear phishing emails that
were designed to appear legitimate but could have given an
intruder access to the recipient's communications.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Don't we all get these periodically? Why wouldn't the campaigns
be susceptible to these?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
You mean, don't other people's companies do what ours does
and tries to trick us every time.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yes, yes, I think they do, but I don't know
if it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Would be The campaign is a large entity, but I
don't know if it would.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Big enough to have.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, I guess you'd have an Internet security team. You'd
probably want to have a pretty robust one. But are
they Are they sending out emails or are they just
the fake ones, or are they just.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Responsive to something that comes in.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So far, investigators have not found evidence the hacking attempts
were successful. Agents contacted Google among other companies to discuss
what appeared to be this phishing effort targeting people associated
with the Biden campaign. The new details, they say, show
the investigation is bigger than originally thought, involves more potential victims.
(14:38):
I say it could be a reoccurring feature of politics
and the digital age.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, especially in an election.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I think that's a given.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mean, we're going to continue to see this, and
it's evolved over the course of the last you know,
eight years, twelve years probably. The Trump campaign said it
had been hacked after reporters were receiving copies of an
internal campaign vetting document on JD Vance, who eventually became
Trump's running mate and official with the Harris campaigns as
(15:07):
it vigilantly monitors and protects against cyber threats. The question is,
and I think this is one of the things that
Politico and the New York Times, those are the two
entities that I had seen received. Do the copies of this?
What do they do with it? I mean, it's ill gotten.
It's illegal for a foreign entity, obviously to hack into
(15:29):
something and get this kind of information. It would be
different if someone intentionally leaked it from within the campaign.
But you're still dealing with the questions of what news
agency would print something. We know what it was, we
know that it was a vetting document about Jade Vance,
but we don't know what was in it. Were there
(15:49):
questions about him with the sex with the couch? Was
that the the dress in drag and do the hula thing?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That was.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's the part I've not quite understood about the criticisms
of jd Vance.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
He's a vegetarian, he's dressed in.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Dressed what he's a vegetarian?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
And are you serious?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, that's the worst part of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I mean, come on, but I will be called a
childless cat lady, but I need my.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He Also, there was I think it was New York
Times or New York Post was publishing a series of
text messages that he had sent back and forth to
a buddy of his who ended up being transgender. And
it was a it wasn't like it. It was just
a they were friends. They were just friends and they
were friendly, and it was.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
He's a vegetarian who has a transgender friend.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Now, right? Who is this guy?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
So? Then?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Why is that's exactly what you would have expected for
a Democrat politician?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Right?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why are they criticizing this guy for this kind of stuff?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Why is it a headline that he had he appeared
in a dress when he was in college that I have.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No idea, I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're just helping democracy. I'm just helping democracy, like.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Garbonzo beans or something.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Where do you.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Get your your your strength?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Of his wife, I don't know what. I don't know
what advanced dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Looks like she's Indian too, right, So no chicken tika masala.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
No vindaloo, and no beef.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
My god?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
What an existence?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well, Ukraine is picking up speed in the morale game
with this surprise attack picking up new ground in Russia,
the first time Russia has been breached since World War Two?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Is that correct? I believe so. I believe it is.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
JD.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Vance enjoys vegetarian food, but he's not a strict vegetarian.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Okay, then.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I'll clarify that was me, that was my vent.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's ridiculous. That's like saying I enjoy vegetables, but I
also eat meat. Then why are you even dealing with
the label of vegetarianism.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Because they have decided or they have made a point
of saying that he has adapted to his wife's vegetarian diet.
She's a vegetarian, and he probably has cut way back
on meat.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
M all right. I mean, my husband doesn't eat red meat,
doesn't not a.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Awful human beat.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It doesn't stop me getting to fill in the refrigerator
with different salamis and sausages, and stop me because I'm
an American. Did you hear about the.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The royal goats?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Of course I did.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
King Charles the Third has bestowed a royal title on
a rare golden goat breed that lives in South Carolina.
The breed known for its connection to the island of
Guernsey will have the special title of Royal Golden Guernsey Goat.
It will apply to the livestock breed anywhere in the world.
(18:58):
So there's eight goats in South Carolina right now that
are royal goats, and they're.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Just gonna start putting goat, their goat, their royalness into
other goats.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
The goats are a rare breed, considered at risk. They're
on a watch list, a rare breeds watch list. They're
considered friendly and docile, and they produce good goat milk.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's my favorite kind.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
They're very choosy in what they eat, well the royals.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Right, I mean, they're probably a little inbread.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Do you want to see a picture of one, you
know what it looks like it take a golden retriever
it does. It's got long hair, it looks like a
goat wearing a jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
World War three is about to start, oh right, yeah,
So it looks like Ukraine has made some significant inroads
to Russia, invading Russian territory, like you said, for the
first time arguably since World War Two.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Russia said today that its forces checked that effort to
expand this what's being called a stunning incursion into the
Kursk region. But of course they're going to say that
it kind of shows how weakened Russia is, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Emperor has no clothes. Well, and that's kind of the
most dangerous time. When you realize or when Putin realizes
that he's losing, what does he do to one last gasp.
According to Ukrainian Army spokesperson, Russia has relocated some of
its units from both Zaparizia, which would be in Ukraine,
(20:31):
and Curson.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The Kremlin initially attacked.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Those regions in southern Ukraine in those first few days
of the full scale invasion back in twenty twenty two,
Politico wrote this article independently could not confirm how many
Russian troops have been redeployed back across the border, but
the Ukrainian said it was probably a relatively small number
of units.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And then US officials on high alert for a potential
Iranian attack on Israel. Efforts to reach a ceasefire in
Gaza intensifying, formal negotiations expected to resume this week. The country.
Iran is vowed to avenge the deaths of Hesbola and
Hamas leaders. Any attack by Iran may risk disrupting ceasefire
(21:14):
talks that the US said we're in advanced stages prior
to the assassination of that top Hamas leader under Iran's
watch there in Tehran.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We know that our Pentagon has ordered a guided missile
submarine there. Told the USS Abraham Lincoln to speed it
up a little bit. Sabrina Singh's the deputy Press Secretary
at the Pentagon.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
We're certainly sending a message, and that is one of deterrence.
We certainly do not want to see a regional conflict
or wider war spread out in the Middle East. And
so the movements that the Secretary announced on Sunday, with
the expedited movement of the AID carrier Strike Group moving
into the region, I think sends a huge message of deterrence.
I mean that carrier has F thirty five aircraft on it,
(21:59):
and previously, before the announcement that the Secretary had made
on Sunday, we'd also bolstered our air power presence in
the region with an additional squadron of F twenty.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Two's nothing to see here, Everything's fine, Everything will be
just fine, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Coming up next, two ex La County Sheriff's deputies have
been accused of staging a sham raid in a thirty
seven million dollar extortion scheme in Orange County. What this
means for some big cases here in La County that
are now in jeopardy because of this, this former investigator's
criminal activity, we'll get into it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
You can always hear us live on KFIAM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Is your suggestion that God is a four foot eight
woman driving a nineteen ninety four Honda Civic out of
the driveway at Whole Foods, looking to her right but
not looking to her left.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You know what's funny is I followed you into the
garage today and there was a woman who was trying
to go into the garage through the out and I
almost said to you as we.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Got out of the car, women, am I right?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Having no idea what you had just gone through with
the four foot eight woman?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, and she had tried to back up without looking
that there was anybody behind her.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, so that was going to be the first thing
I said as women, Am I right? And then I
didn't because I didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And then it would have made perfect sense, like I
got in trouble yesterday for what?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And that was your fault because you were the one
who brought up the topic all Olympic sports that we
no longer engage in.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Is this the motor boating thing where they would race boats. Yes,
they would race boats.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, just letting you know you walked me into that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, this didn't get off to a good start, but
neither did the interview with President Trump and.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Eon Musk last night.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
What's going on with the slurring? What is that?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I wish I listened to it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I listened to say is that an audio issue?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I think it's a little bit of both. After I
saw a picture, Well, here's the here's the that's how
it started.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
So my pledges for the late start.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
We unfortunately had a massive distributed nihilox service attack against
our servers and.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Saturated all our all of our.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Data lines, like basically hundreds of kickabits of data were saturated.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
They did get started about forty five minutes late.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
He's got the personality of a wet mop. I just
find him so uninteresting and so not entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well I wouldn't say I would say not entertaining, but
not uninteresting. I thought some of the stuff that he
was talking about was pretty amazing, just in terms of
his I think of the things that he the things
that he does every single day, and he's got room
to talk about pology.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Just his delivery for me.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yes, that I will agree is not great.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I got to admit I did not listen to
much of this. I listened to clips about it. I
was on hold. I was in the space on X
waiting to.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I gotta say the hold music was pretty relaxing. It
was some of the best hold music I've heard. I
didn't catch any of it until after it started. I
didn't start listening until about six I listened about twenty
minutes in, or it should have been twenty minutes into
it and it was still on delay.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
One of the first things they talked about, obviously, is
the assassination attempt, despite the former president saying he was
only going to talk about it once because it's really
and we said it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
He's not going to talk about it once. He's going
to talk about it over and over and over again.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Well, and I mean, speaking of the.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Sort of slide that got you to that saved her life,
really was the illegal immigration slide? Maybe maybe we're talking
about about that. It was it was that slight.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Now the illegal immigration saved my life, You're right, but
had to be at an exact angle.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean, that's that's a great one.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
You know, the incredible thing though, when you talk about
the odds, you had to be exactly at that angle.
But the incredible thing is that the chart I used
it less than twenty percent of the time. It was
just a moment. It's always on my left, never my right,
and it's always as the end of the speech.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Now he goes on and talks about the woman who
is in charge of the PowerPoint at his places. He
came up and he actually brought her on stage or
earlier this week and thanked her for saving his life.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The speaking thing, the speech.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Impediment or whatever it was. So there's two things going on.
One of them is the weird audio processing, Yes, that
goes on in that in those Twitter spaces like that
makes it sound a little weird. It's a zoom call
basically that we all get to listen in on. But
there was a picture also that I saw later last
night that showed the President talking to Elon Musk and
(04:18):
the setup that he had. They didn't put him in
a studio somewhere with a microphone and a nice Comrax line. No, No,
they had him sitting at a desk leaning over his
phone while he was talking to him. And I think
part of it is Yes, there's the sound of the processing,
but it's also when you do that with your face,
you're gonna make it.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
It's gonna sound fine.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm surprised that Trump okayed this platform because he was
one of the early critics when DeSantis had his rollout disaster. Yeah,
and that's what he called it, Trump a disaster.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So I'm surprised you rolled the dice with this one.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, and I it's the Democrats didn't like it. We'll
talk about what Kamala Harris's response to this was, and
then Elon Musk's response to Kamala Harris's response.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well, if you need help with your online shopping addiction,
don't go to Amazon. Amazon now teaming up with TikTok
and Pinterest, so TikTok or Pinterest users will now be
able to link their social media accounts to their Amazon account,
and then once those are synced, you can buy items
directly from Amazon while still being within either of the
(05:22):
social media apps. So you don't have to take a
break from social media and TikTok to shop.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You don't have to pull the needle out of your arm.
You just keep shooting it up. Where was this four
years ago? When COVID was a thing, man, could you
imagine people would have we would become blobs.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Well, I don't think that pale blob.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
To out you.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But the other day you were deep into China, you
were into the TikTok, you were watching pet videos.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So it's okay. It's just like I didn't know you
were into tikshop.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
As long as I know when to stop.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Minnesota gouner Tim Walls making his first solo appearance as
vice president Kamala Harris is running. He'll be at the
American Federation of State County Municipal Employees convention at the
LA Convention Center, and then later today's at a fundraiser
down in Newport Beach, a series of fundraisers actually over
the next couple of days. Tropical Storm Ernesto expected to
(06:15):
hit the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other parts of
the Caribbean with some heavy rain and strong winds over
the next few days, prompting some warnings. It is not
not expected to affect mainland United States.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
We've got a problem here locally. Apparently about four law
enforcement people have been indicted for a phony scam, extortion
scam for a rich guy in Orange County. One of
the former law enforcement people was pretty instrumental in many
cases here in La County with robbery, homicide, and all
(06:49):
those cases he was instrumental in are now up in
the air because of his criminal involvement.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, we're talking about last night's big interview. Elon Musk
sat down in an interview with Donald Trump on Twitter
slash x. He wrote a short time ago that the
combined views of the conversation and subsequent discussion by other
accounts is about a billion. Between seven forty seven and
ten forty seven last night Eastern time, the Space post
(07:18):
received spaces that's the venue basically where they were doing
the interview, received seventy three million vote views, and during
that same period there were four million posts about the
conversation on x, so the total generation was about nine
hundred and ninety eight million views.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But there was an audible lisp.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
A Trump campaign spokesperson has denied any sort of speech
condition or teeth issue, saying quoting here must be your
SI hearing, but said the whole word get your ears
checked out.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Okay, that's not what happened.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
There was something.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Blame the audio, blame the feed, but we all heard
what we heard.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Don't tell me that I didn't hear that, especially if
it was brought up by multiple people independent of each other.
So this was another one of the comments that he made.
This was more a conversation than it was a Q
and A because Elon Musk bared a lot of his
political soul last night, explaining in different at different times
(08:20):
sort of his evolution and his decision to eventually endorse
former President Trump.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
America is kind of at a folk in the road
and and I think it will take it will take
the path like you other path to prosperity, and I
think Kamala is the opposite. Then that's my I mean,
that's my opinion. I'm gonna I'm go an get attacked
like crazy. And you know, I've also experienced quite a
bit of lowfair myself, and but I'm just trying to
(08:48):
tell people my honest opinion. And I haven't been active
and really active in politics before, and I'm just trying
to point out that my track record historically has been moderate.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
If not moderate, slightly left, and and.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
So this is the people out there who are in
the moderate camp to say, I think you should support
Donald Trump for president and I think it's actually a
very important junction in the road, and we're a deep
trouble if it.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
If it goes the other way, well, I.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Want to thank you. And you know I actually always
did think of you as somewhat left I must say that.
So it's even more of an honor to have your endorsement.
I know how strong you feel about it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So listen, Okay, Now I have the benefit. Now today,
take a shower. These two guys are going to get
on it. I have the benefit of listening with headphones.
Yesterday wasn't listening on headphones. It was just listening on
my phone. So it does sound more like it is
an audio issue than it is a speech issue.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Just based on the my hair list.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, if you had a legit lisp and somebody in
the room heard that, they would pull the plug because
it sounds like he had a stroke or something. The
Hairs campaign slammed the two hour interview, mocked the technical challenges,
a slam Trump for aiming to serve self obsessed rich
(10:05):
guys like himself. Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous Project twenty
twenty five agenda is a feature, not a glitch, of
his campaign which was on full display for those unlucky
enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on
X So.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Well, then I don't know, then do something about it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Neither one of these people can do anything without the
other one saying what an unmitigated disaster it was. I'm
not going to go to Harris for her response on
the Trump interview. I'm not going to go to Trump
for his response on something Harris did. They can do
no right in each other's eyes. That's what we've said.
The ship has sailed when it comes to decorum in
(10:51):
political discourse, especially between the two warring parties.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
One of the things was that Tim Walls had suggested
that this was a it was one of the world's
richest men and Elon Musk interviewing another one of the
world's richest men, Donald Trump, on arguably one of the
most important social media platforms that exists in the world
because of its reach. Elon Musk then turns around and said,
I'll gladly interview Kamala Harris if the Vice President wants
(11:17):
to come forward and sit down for another for a
two and a half interview, basically two and a half
hour interview that he did he'd be he'd be glad
to do that. But she's not going to do that
because whether she disagrees with Elon Musk, which she doesn't
know until she sits down and talks with him, I
don't know. I mean, immediately this went out as a
fundraising pitch for I mean, Trump sneezes and Harris is
(11:41):
going to do a fundraising pitch. Tim Walls makes some
stupid comment about being creepy or weird, and the Trump
Vance campaign is going to.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Turn it all on raising.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And that's part of the thing that's so annoying to
me is the hypocrisy on both sides.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Just juvenile Russian President Vladimir Putin is promising to kick
the enemy out of his country's territory. It emerged that
Ukrainian troops have now gained control of dozens of villages
inside Russia and pretty large swaths swaths, swaths, swaths. Sounds
like I'm reading the The chance Cheterbury Tale by Jeffrey Chaucer.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yes, we were both that the same thought, but we're idiots.
So Ernesto, We're going.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
To dodge or Neesto, Ernesto probably not going to hit us.
It's already the fifth name storm of the twenty twenty
four Atlantic hurricane season. Oh and guess what another dead whale?
In fact, a few dead whales, we're saying Up in
San Francisco, a dead humpback whale washed up on a
beach a couple of days ago. People got reports they
saw other dead whales floating in the water nearby. Scientists
(12:51):
with the California Academy of Science has performed a netcropcy
thirty one foot long whale near Fort Funston. Was determined
that it was a young male that had likely been
attacked by an orca based on the multiple markings found
throughout the body.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
So what do we do with it?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
We blow it up.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
The FBI is looking into suspected the.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Hacking attempts by Iran targeting both the Trump campaign and
what was then the Biden Harris campaign. Three staffers on
the Biden Harris campaign did receive spear phishing emails that
were designed to appear legitimate but could have given an
intruder access to the recipient's communications.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Don't we all get these periodically? Why wouldn't the campaigns
be susceptible to these?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
You mean, don't other people's companies do what ours does
and tries to trick us every time.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yes, yes, I think they do, but I don't know
if it.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Would be The campaign is a large entity, but I
don't know if it would.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Big enough to have.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Well, I guess you'd have an Internet security team. You'd
probably want to have a pretty robust one. But are
they Are they sending out emails or are they just
the fake ones, or are they just.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Responsive to something that comes in.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So far, investigators have not found evidence the hacking attempts
were successful. Agents contacted Google among other companies to discuss
what appeared to be this phishing effort targeting people associated
with the Biden campaign. The new details, they say, show
the investigation is bigger than originally thought, involves more potential victims.
(14:38):
I say it could be a reoccurring feature of politics
and the digital age.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Well, especially in an election.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I think that's a given.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mean, we're going to continue to see this, and
it's evolved over the course of the last you know,
eight years, twelve years probably. The Trump campaign said it
had been hacked after reporters were receiving copies of an
internal campaign vetting document on JD Vance, who eventually became
Trump's running mate and official with the Harris campaigns as
(15:07):
it vigilantly monitors and protects against cyber threats. The question is,
and I think this is one of the things that
Politico and the New York Times, those are the two
entities that I had seen received. Do the copies of this?
What do they do with it? I mean, it's ill gotten.
It's illegal for a foreign entity, obviously to hack into
(15:29):
something and get this kind of information. It would be
different if someone intentionally leaked it from within the campaign.
But you're still dealing with the questions of what news
agency would print something. We know what it was, we
know that it was a vetting document about Jade Vance,
but we don't know what was in it. Were there
(15:49):
questions about him with the sex with the couch? Was
that the the dress in drag and do the hula thing?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
That was.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's the part I've not quite understood about the criticisms
of jd Vance.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
He's a vegetarian, he's dressed in.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Dressed what he's a vegetarian?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
And are you serious?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, that's the worst part of the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I mean, come on, but I will be called a
childless cat lady, but I need my.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
He Also, there was I think it was New York
Times or New York Post was publishing a series of
text messages that he had sent back and forth to
a buddy of his who ended up being transgender. And
it was a it wasn't like it. It was just
a they were friends. They were just friends and they
were friendly, and it was.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
He's a vegetarian who has a transgender friend.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Now, right? Who is this guy?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
So? Then?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Why is that's exactly what you would have expected for
a Democrat politician?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Right?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Why are they criticizing this guy for this kind of stuff?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Why is it a headline that he had he appeared
in a dress when he was in college that I have.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No idea, I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
You're just helping democracy. I'm just helping democracy, like.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Garbonzo beans or something.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Where do you.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Get your your your strength?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Of his wife, I don't know what. I don't know
what advanced dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Looks like she's Indian too, right, So no chicken tika masala.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
No vindaloo, and no beef.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
My god?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
What an existence?
Speaker 5 (17:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well, Ukraine is picking up speed in the morale game
with this surprise attack picking up new ground in Russia,
the first time Russia has been breached since World War Two?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Is that correct? I believe so. I believe it is.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
JD.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Vance enjoys vegetarian food, but he's not a strict vegetarian.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Okay, then.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I'll clarify that was me, that was my vent.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's ridiculous. That's like saying I enjoy vegetables, but I
also eat meat. Then why are you even dealing with
the label of vegetarianism.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Because they have decided or they have made a point
of saying that he has adapted to his wife's vegetarian diet.
She's a vegetarian, and he probably has cut way back
on meat.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
M all right. I mean, my husband doesn't eat red meat,
doesn't not a.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Awful human beat.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It doesn't stop me getting to fill in the refrigerator
with different salamis and sausages, and stop me because I'm
an American. Did you hear about the.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The royal goats?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Of course I did.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
King Charles the Third has bestowed a royal title on
a rare golden goat breed that lives in South Carolina.
The breed known for its connection to the island of
Guernsey will have the special title of Royal Golden Guernsey Goat.
It will apply to the livestock breed anywhere in the world.
(18:58):
So there's eight goats in South Carolina right now that
are royal goats, and they're.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Just gonna start putting goat, their goat, their royalness into
other goats.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
The goats are a rare breed, considered at risk. They're
on a watch list, a rare breeds watch list. They're
considered friendly and docile, and they produce good goat milk.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
That's my favorite kind.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
They're very choosy in what they eat, well the royals.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Right, I mean, they're probably a little inbread.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Do you want to see a picture of one, you
know what it looks like it take a golden retriever
it does. It's got long hair, it looks like a
goat wearing a jacket.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
World War three is about to start, oh right, yeah,
So it looks like Ukraine has made some significant inroads
to Russia, invading Russian territory, like you said, for the
first time arguably since World War Two.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Russia said today that its forces checked that effort to
expand this what's being called a stunning incursion into the
Kursk region. But of course they're going to say that
it kind of shows how weakened Russia is, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Emperor has no clothes. Well, and that's kind of the
most dangerous time. When you realize or when Putin realizes
that he's losing, what does he do to one last gasp.
According to Ukrainian Army spokesperson, Russia has relocated some of
its units from both Zaparizia, which would be in Ukraine,
(20:31):
and Curson.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
The Kremlin initially attacked.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Those regions in southern Ukraine in those first few days
of the full scale invasion back in twenty twenty two,
Politico wrote this article independently could not confirm how many
Russian troops have been redeployed back across the border, but
the Ukrainian said it was probably a relatively small number
of units.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And then US officials on high alert for a potential
Iranian attack on Israel. Efforts to reach a ceasefire in
Gaza intensifying, formal negotiations expected to resume this week. The country.
Iran is vowed to avenge the deaths of Hesbola and
Hamas leaders. Any attack by Iran may risk disrupting ceasefire
(21:14):
talks that the US said we're in advanced stages prior
to the assassination of that top Hamas leader under Iran's
watch there in Tehran.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We know that our Pentagon has ordered a guided missile
submarine there. Told the USS Abraham Lincoln to speed it
up a little bit. Sabrina Singh's the deputy Press Secretary
at the Pentagon.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
We're certainly sending a message, and that is one of deterrence.
We certainly do not want to see a regional conflict
or wider war spread out in the Middle East. And
so the movements that the Secretary announced on Sunday, with
the expedited movement of the AID carrier Strike Group moving
into the region, I think sends a huge message of deterrence.
I mean that carrier has F thirty five aircraft on it,
(21:59):
and previously, before the announcement that the Secretary had made
on Sunday, we'd also bolstered our air power presence in
the region with an additional squadron of F twenty.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Two's nothing to see here, Everything's fine, Everything will be
just fine, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Coming up next, two ex La County Sheriff's deputies have
been accused of staging a sham raid in a thirty
seven million dollar extortion scheme in Orange County. What this
means for some big cases here in La County that
are now in jeopardy because of this, this former investigator's
criminal activity, we'll get into it.
