Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio and app First of all, everyone
should be gentle to each other today. We don't know
what kind of mental anguish people are in.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
In fact, my daughter texted me and is She said,
is it rude of me to tell people to just
get a grip? And I said, no, it's not.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But we don't know where they're coming.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We don't need to tell me. I have been to Pennsylvania,
I have been to Michigan in Ohio all in the
past month, and I've been in stadiums filled with people.
I've been able to go to lots of places in
this country, every stadium for that matter, thanks to my
(00:47):
side job working for the Chargers. And I will tell
you that there is a national pride that exists in
every other stadium outside of California. There is not a
stadium that exists in a swing state that does not
sing Lee Greenwood every Sunday. God Bless the usay all
(01:13):
of that. There's so much patriotism. And I think that
sometimes the people that are shocked about a Trump victory
think that it's just about Trump's base. It's the people
at the rallies, It's the people that love the name
calling and all of that. And it's not That's sure,
that's a fraction of Trump voters, the base that he
(01:36):
throws some meat to, but there's also a lot of
people who really love this country, and they love national pride,
and they love putting America first, and they also love
raising families and they love being able to pay for
food on the table. And the one thing that left
the polls when it came to the exit interviews, it
(01:57):
wasn't Trump, we love Trump, It wasn't she's trash, it
wasn't any of that. It was the economy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
To be illustrated by the fact that the Dow Jones
Industrial Average has soared to new record highs today, because
that's what Wall Street thinks is about to happen. That's
a bet on the future that whatever Trump does over
the next four years, especially well whatever he does over
the next four years, would be successful for businesses. That's
(02:26):
the bet that we're seeing play out on Wall Street today.
Just the sheer numbers of what happened and where we
stand right now. Associated Press has Donald Trump with two
hundred and seventy seven electoral votes. He needs two to seventy,
so he's got to seventy seven. There are still it
looks like three states that have yet to be called,
at least by the Associated Press, but all three of
(02:47):
them lean Trump right now, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. But
we could see, we could see decisions in those at
least predictions in those by later today.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The fight for control of the House this is. These
are races focused in New York and California, Democrats hoping
to claw back some of the ten or so seats
Republicans have made gains in recent years. Other House races
scattered around the country, some of the most contentious and Maine, Omaha, Nebraska, Alaska.
To gain control of the House, the Democrats need to
(03:21):
flip four seats from Republicans while holding all of their own.
That is damn near impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Tall order for that, I mean locally, The big one
that a lot of people have been watching is my district,
which is Republican Mike Garcia, the incumbent up against George
Whiteside's the Democrat.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right now, Yeah, where's that?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, when I saw it last night, just before I
went to bed, it was separated by about two hundred votes.
White sides had a lot of the early numbers. Garcia
was able to get them back with some of the
daily day of voting that had come in. So right
now Mike Garcia has fifty one point two percent of
the vote. George whitesidees at forty eight point eight and
the separation is about five thousand votes, so that that
(04:00):
separation is actually growing in favor of the Republican in
that case, Mike Carcia. But that's a seat they all
Republicans already have, they're just trying to keep.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There's a moment that people are kind of drilling down
on where Kamala Harris probably sealed her fate, And it
was that view interview and the would you have done
anything differently than Biden in the past four years? And
she said, I can't think of a single thing people
wanted to hear I would have fought, I would and
(04:31):
I will continue to fight to get this economy in
the right order and to secure the border. I mean,
those were the things that people really care about.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It they wanted they wanted her to acknowledge that those
were concerns that they had.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Americans are struggling at home. You go to the grocery store.
If you do the grocery shopping for your house, you
know how ridiculous it is there. You can hear about inflation, numbers,
cooling all you want, but if you're paying the bills,
it's hard. And that's what people care about. They don't
care about a guy in a Honduras who wants a
pathway to citizenship. They don't care about shouting your abortion.
(05:08):
They don't care about a boy that wants to play
on a girl's team because he identifies as a girl.
They care about taking care of their families and having
enough money to put dinner on the table.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Politico.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
One of their big articles this morning is why Kamala
Harris lost the election, written by Christopher Catalago and Holly Otterben,
and they say that exact thing that she inherited this
campaign from Joe Biden over the summer that appeared to
be be flatlining given his the president's inability to put
a sentence together in that debate, but they said she
(05:38):
never sufficiently buried Biden's ghost, severely hamstringing her ability to
sell voters on the idea that hers was the turn
the page candidacy. She couldn't separate herself from him. Now
going forward, going forward, we have to talk about so
what is the for both parties? What is the Republican
(05:59):
Party look like in twenty twenty eight and what does
jads Democratic Party look like in twenty Tavin Newsom in
jd Vance.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, that's a great prediction because I think obviously
jad Vance has a leg up above everybody because he
is this vice president elect.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But when you talked to when you talk to conservative Republicans,
or I'll just say, when I have talked to conservative Republicans,
they love jd Vance. They wish he was on the
top of the ticket.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, he's done a lot better than I think a
lot of people were expecting. One moment that I saw
this morning, I didn't see it last night. But one
moment that I saw that was striking to me was
my wife and I were kind of dipping in and out,
kind of watching into kind of not watching it. One
of the comments was that Kamala Harris was underperforming in Minnesota,
(06:46):
or at least underperforming compared to what Joe Biden did
four years ago. She picked a vice presidential candidate from
Minnesota and was underperforming what Joe Biden did. It's unbelievable
those types of decisions like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Should she have chosen Josh Shapiro.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Should the Democrats have had a primary and put a
more likable candidate in the position instead of just handing
it to her. This was the moment last night that
I thought exemplified what was wrong with and what the
Democratic Party is going to have to deal with for
the next couple of years. This is from CNN, John King,
Jake Tapper. So you asked, are there any places that
the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden in twenty twenty?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So we can show you that as well. We just
bring that out here. Harris overperforming twenty twenty only smokes
there you go. So let this go away and see
if there's anything in the East Side. There literally nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Literally, there was not one county in the entire United
States when they showed that video. There was not one
county where Kamala Harris did better than Joe Biden from
four years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Wow, not one.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And I want to get into it and coming up next,
but we do ourselves no favor saying that The reason
she didn't win is because we are a racist, misogynist country.
That's just not true. And to think that is so
much more damaging than to actually sit down and listen
to what people actually have to say. It wasn't because
(08:14):
she was a woman of color. It was because she
lacked substance and hung the hat of the party on
things like abortion and other things that don't mean a
whole lot to a wide swath of people.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Who and who in the party is strong enough to
have that post mortem?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Honestly, I don't know. I don't know, and that's the problem.
I was reading this article about the House races in
the Associated Press and they said that like in California,
the fight for Democrats to get about ten or so seats,
where Republicans, the way they write it, have made surprising
gains in recent years, to which I say, there's a
(08:51):
reason why people are voting for Republicans down the ticket
in California. It's because they're fed up with the crime
and they don't care D or R. They want someone
who's going to support law and order. And you saw
that when voters last night overwhelmingly approved that Prop thirty
six to roll back Prop forty seven, which has made
(09:14):
it the law of the land where you can get
away with stealing willy nilly and just get a slap
on the wrist.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Our memories are so short when it comes to stuff
like this. We think about most most often mid term elections.
For example, when it comes to Congress, we saw it
in twenty two, we saw it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
In twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Whoever wins the presidency can expect to have some pushback
two years later. If Republicans take the House and Senate.
I mean they have the Senate, but if they take
the House in this next Congress, you're gonna see some pushback,
and people are going to go back and they're going
to vote blue again in two years when it's time
to reset the House of Representatives.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
That's what we do.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We forget that this is a constant pendulum swinging back
and forth, and yes there should be some there's the
wide swath of America is somewhere in the middle of that.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They don't want to go too far that way.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
They also don't want to go too far that way,
and are just our nature when it comes to the
way we vote is to try to bring things a
little bit back to normal, back back to the center.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
California and the Democratic Party's pendulum has swung way, way
too far left. And we talked about this eight years
ago at the convention in Philadelphia. We talked about their
obsession with unisex bathrooms and who really cares about that?
Who out there living their life cares about men and
(10:38):
women going to the bathroom together because it makes this
point one percent of the population feel comfortable. What you're
focusing on the wrong things, You're dying on the wrong hills.
And everyone that was shocked in twenty sixteen that Trump won,
and everyone that thumb there knows at jd Vance's book
about how that happened and hillbilly elogy about the people
(10:59):
that are tired of the elites forgetting about them, forgetting
about how hard it is for them food on the table.
They didn't learn the lesson. They did nothing differently. In fact,
the pendulum swung even further from bathrooms to we will
have the taxpayers pay for transgender operations for prisoners.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
That is I thought we were in crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Town with the unisex bathrooms hill they were dying on,
and then.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It went even further. So they've got to.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Have a reckoning the Democrats do in their party of
realizing that the small things that the elite, the rich,
the coastal people care about is not what the people
in Michigan care about. It's not what the people in
Ohio care about.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It doesn't ring true.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know so many people will fall into the trap
of let's just hate Trump and everything Trump for four
years and let's just commiserate and just shake our heads
at what Trump's doing, instead of looking in the mirror
and being like, how can we change to reflect more
of America?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I saw I was trying.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I was flipping back and forth between different channels last
night to try to see if anybody actually It was
right after ten o'clock when I think it was Fox
that originally called Pennsylvania, but they didn't declare him the winner,
or didn't project him the winner, I should say, so.
They projected that he was going to take Pennsylvania, which
(12:24):
would have put him which would not put him over
to seventy, but would have taken away any chance that
Kamala Harris had to get to two seventy. And I
was amazed at the majority of the conversation that happened
at about ten twenty probably last night our time when
(12:44):
Fox calls Pennsylvania and again all that does. It doesn't
give him two seventy, but it does take away her
path to two seventy. Nobody said anything, Nobody wanted to
say anything. Flip over to other channels, CNNMSNBC, News Nation A,
Fox a local channel. Nobody wanted to say it. Nobody
wanted to go and do what Fox did, which was
(13:06):
Pennsylvania for Trump. Remember four years ago they did the
exact same thing the other way with Arizona, where they
predicted or projected that Arizona was going to go for Biden,
which would have crippled Donald Trump's chances for reelection. And
nobody else wanted to go out on that bar. Nobody
(13:29):
else wanted to go out there, So it took a
while for other agencies. The AP, I don't think, called
Arizona for a couple of days, and Fox had it
right the whole time. Last night they called it at
ten twenty About twenty five minutes later, News Nation then
projected Donald Trump the winner, after they also called Pennsylvania
for Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
President Biden reportedly will address the nation about the election
results sometime today. What do you think about the fan
fiction of Biden handing over the remaining months to Kamala
Harris to cement his legacy as a strong Democrat that
fights for.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
For women for women. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I don't from what we know of Joe Biden from
five years ago, I don't know what condition he's in
right now, but five years ago, I don't think that
would happen.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But what but what a cherry on top moment for
him to avert disaster. I mean, he's going to get
a lot of blame for that garbage comment and for
her loss. Could so turning the tide on that would
be handing it over.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So we are always listening to your talkback messages.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Don't be an a hole. Just don't be an a hole.
If you want to celebrate your win, you want to
cry your loss, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Thought your rule is don't be a D. That's a
bit from D to a hole.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I tell my kids, don't be a D.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you use the word when you talk to your
kids like that?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I do?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now you do?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That makes me sad?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Sorry, Shannon and Gary.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
It's like the Rams winning the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah's trap? Is that? Tono?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
No, you guys have a great money.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're in a rams hat.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Hey, good morning Gary and Shannon Man. Am I glad
all that's over with? Yep, no more texts, no more mails,
no more ads on TV and all that. It was
just incredibly overwhelming. So one thing I will say, though,
I believe that Kamela Nutt conceding is really a bad
look for her, and that may say something about her
personality that this was very, very wrong for her not
(15:35):
to concede the election. But anyway, it's over with. Let's
get on to news and Bruise.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't have a problem do you. Thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
By the way, Friday at Lucha or Brewing and Chino
Hills will be out there for the news and brus
I don't have a problem with her not conceding until today.
That I mean the specifics of the concession speech, et cetera.
But if you're a Kamala Harris supporter and you went
to the event and how she didn't come out.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it would have been like the middle of the
night thoughouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean they were there for six or seven hours,
they were waiting for her. Even if she just said, hey,
you guys. We we put up a great fight. We're
still counting. We'll see you tomorrow. Something like that. I
mean Hillary Clinton did the same thing eight years ago,
or she never came out, and that left a lot
of people at the sour.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Taste in their mouth.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Why can't we as a people have enough heart to
make room for two baby hippos, two baby pygmy hippos.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Moodang Moo moo dang. This is the headline in the
New York Times.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Moodang Hoo Dang, Meet hagis the baby pygmy hippo. Move over, Moodang,
says NBC News. There's a new baby hippo, Hagis in Scotland.
Why does Moodang have to go anywhere? Why can't we
have Moodang and Haggis the new hippo both residing in
our hearts?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
We like to move on. It's awful we're a constantly
changing society.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Or to move on for Moodang.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
That's the reason why you're not wearing bell bottoms today.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I was going to wear flair jeans today.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Is that what they call them now?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
They're still bell bottoms right, Yeah? Why didn't you? I
don't know well, there is not room in your closet.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's not enough room in the jeans that they run
a little small, and I'm feeling a little big.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Well, Halloween candy amnesty lasts until tomorrow, so you have
a stopped telling me that. Okay, So the presidential election
last night has been President Trump has been predicted projected
the winner. The projected electoral vote right now is at
(17:39):
depending on where you look, at two seventy seven for
Donald Trump to twenty four for Kamala Harris with three
states I believe it is that have yet to be declared.
That would be Minnesota, Nope, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. I
think Alaska also has not officially been declared, but it
is also leaning. It is leaning towards Trump some of
(18:03):
the things that we've learned. Also, Number one, polls were
wrong for one thing, and it'll take a couple of days,
I think, for people to go back, the polling people
to go back and figure out which polls had it
closest to what actually happened yesterday, so that they can
figure out and reconfigure, rejigger everything for a couple of
(18:25):
years from now when we have to do our congressional
races once again. There are obviously still questions outstanding when
it comes to control of the House of Representatives, but
it looks as if Republicans are going to take control
of the House. That I assume means that Mike Johnson
would keep his speakership In the Senate. I actually think
(18:48):
that John Cornyn would probably take over for Mitch McConnell
as the Senate majority leader going forward. But we'll see.
And yes, Trump had Republican Houses of Congress when he
started in twenty seventeen. Paul Ryan, you remember, was the speaker,
so he had both the Senate and the House then too.
The exit polls, though, give us an idea. This is
(19:10):
when journalists, reporters, whatever, pollsters will walk up to somebody
who just voted and asked them the questions about why
did you vote the way that you did, Which issues
were the things that made these decisions for you, just.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like murder and crime and everything else. Follow the money, yeah,
follow the money. That's what people care about.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Nathan Hackman will be your district attorney here in Los
Angeles County. George Gascon got his pants handed to him
last night. We're also following the story out of Malibu.
Right now, there is a brushfire that started. It looks
like right along Malibu Bluff's Park between pch and Malibu Road.
(19:52):
The wind is blowing offshore, very very strong, and it
looks like at least one of the houses there along
Malibu Road caught fire, with crews trying to try to
put that out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Critical fire threat across all of southern California, essentially widespread
damaging wind gus sixty to eighty miles per hour, likely
in the mountains and foothills. The places that are the
hardest for firefighters to reach. This is La Ventura County's
the Santa Monica's Santa Susannas as well isolated guests gusts
of up to one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that woke me up this morning.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I was up late watching TV, and then I got
up at about four because it was the wind was
blowing so hard at my house that it sounded like
people were breaking into the windows. So I had a
little self defense class and my dog and I sat
out there like Barney Fife.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You and your dog. Your dog's this big and has
no legs.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He's got a bigger bark.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I would grab the gun before I grabbed the dog.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, I'll let you he has an outsized bark. I'll
tell you that it doesn't fit the size of his body. Okay,
because that dog's nut resonates in his bone and his
head cavity or something.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
He probably has an outsized ego because of the strength
of his bark.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
A couple of comments to get to regarding what happened yesterday.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Gigarian Shannon, it's a beautiful day. The sun is shining,
it's beautiful. I'm walking on the beach. I'm just very
grateful that the election is over, that we don't have
to see or hear any more political ads, that my
mailbox will not be stuffed with junk mail, and that
we can just go on living our lives and hopefully
being good humans to each Yes, God bless America. Hope
(21:36):
you guys have a beautiful Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Play that every break.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Maybe just this is Rick and two of us today. Rick,
I consider Donald Trump to be a horrible human being. Okay, However,
like every president in my lifetime, I've always wished them well.
I pray that they'll do better for the country.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Thanks guys, Okay, listen, you don't have to like him.
He's the president or he will be. I mean, that's just.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And again, how many times in your daily life does
it matter who the I mean? In your daily life,
in your relationships with your family, in the times that
you go to the grocery store, in the conversations that
you have with your kids teacher, at the time that
you have an announcement that somebody goes into hospice, or
the announcement that somebody is going to give birth, or
that someone's going to get married. How many times who
(22:29):
the president is impact those much more important events in
your life.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Malibu Fire says there will be probably evacuations due to
this fire where at least one seaside home burning. They're
calling it the Broad Fire burning near pch and Malibu
Canyon Road. The pictures are dramatic because well, the homes
are dramatic, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, there at least it looks like there's two homes
at least now on fire there right along Malibu.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I hope it's not the courts house that they bought
just to do laundry, and.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's not I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The fire itself looks like it started their Malibu Bluff
Park between the between p H and Malibu Road.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And another one uh in More Park, and everyone said
that is that? This one is that on K T
l A as well? Are those two separate fires? Those
are both Malibu More Park. Yeah, I mean that's what
we heard all morning long, that the fire danger today
was going to be incredible, and it did not disappoint
(23:33):
so far. So we'll keep our eyes on these as
we move. Of this going on, you can.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Be all mixing and matching and moving around.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well, I think that we got a victory here, which was, oh,
let's well, this is.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
A victory toys.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think we get to take a victory lap for
George Gascon losing because I think we were pretty clear
on that one from go.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, thankfully everybody was pretty clear on that one. It
wasn't just a voice in the wilderness that changed people's minds. Yeah,
George Gascon lost significantly. And I heard Steve we'll talk
with Steve here in a few minutes also, but I
heard him this morning just explaining, you know, there was
all think about where we were four years ago when
(24:16):
George Gascon won, and that the peak of anger and
frustration and civil disobedience, and everybody thought that that was
the way to fix things, was to put a guy
like George Gascon in power, when in fact it was awful.
It was an awful decision, and we had to sit
(24:37):
through four years of it before we could take him
out again.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I believe in diversion programs. I believe in the idea
that some people can be rehabilitated. I also know that's
not the norm in terms of the really bad of
the bad who end up in prison and the not
holding people accountable for felonies and calling them misdemeanors does
(24:59):
those people no good, and it does our communities no good.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right, now a reminder Friday, we are going to
be live at Luchador Brewing in Chino Hills to not
talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I can't guarantee it won't be.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
There will be a little bit, but not a lot
of it, not a lot of it. The majority will
not be politics. Our news and Bruise is going to
be Friday. We'll be out there at nine o'clock. Luchador
is gonna have breakfast, burritos and all kinds of stuff
for us to hang out with and talk about Also,
they are hosting Hops in the Hills on Saturday, and
we're going to be giving away tickets to Hops in
the Hills when we're out there on Friday again.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Luchador Brewing in Chino Hills for our.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Latest news, and Bruce Couple Fires to keep our eyes on.
The funeral for Fernando Venezuela's going on downtown at our
Lady of the Angels. So there's a lot going on,
more politics stuff as well when we come back.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio and app First of all, everyone
should be gentle to each other today. We don't know
what kind of mental anguish people are in.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
In fact, my daughter texted me and is She said,
is it rude of me to tell people to just
get a grip? And I said, no, it's not.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
But we don't know where they're coming.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We don't need to tell me. I have been to Pennsylvania,
I have been to Michigan in Ohio all in the
past month, and I've been in stadiums filled with people.
I've been able to go to lots of places in
this country, every stadium for that matter, thanks to my
(00:47):
side job working for the Chargers. And I will tell
you that there is a national pride that exists in
every other stadium outside of California. There is not a
stadium that exists in a swing state that does not
sing Lee Greenwood every Sunday. God Bless the usay all
(01:13):
of that. There's so much patriotism. And I think that
sometimes the people that are shocked about a Trump victory
think that it's just about Trump's base. It's the people
at the rallies, It's the people that love the name
calling and all of that. And it's not That's sure,
that's a fraction of Trump voters, the base that he
(01:36):
throws some meat to, but there's also a lot of
people who really love this country, and they love national pride,
and they love putting America first, and they also love
raising families and they love being able to pay for
food on the table. And the one thing that left
the polls when it came to the exit interviews, it
(01:57):
wasn't Trump, we love Trump, It wasn't she's trash, it
wasn't any of that. It was the economy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
To be illustrated by the fact that the Dow Jones
Industrial Average has soared to new record highs today, because
that's what Wall Street thinks is about to happen. That's
a bet on the future that whatever Trump does over
the next four years, especially well whatever he does over
the next four years, would be successful for businesses. That's
(02:26):
the bet that we're seeing play out on Wall Street today.
Just the sheer numbers of what happened and where we
stand right now. Associated Press has Donald Trump with two
hundred and seventy seven electoral votes. He needs two to seventy,
so he's got to seventy seven. There are still it
looks like three states that have yet to be called,
at least by the Associated Press, but all three of
(02:47):
them lean Trump right now, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. But
we could see, we could see decisions in those at
least predictions in those by later today.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
The fight for control of the House this is. These
are races focused in New York and California, Democrats hoping
to claw back some of the ten or so seats
Republicans have made gains in recent years. Other House races
scattered around the country, some of the most contentious and Maine, Omaha, Nebraska, Alaska.
To gain control of the House, the Democrats need to
(03:21):
flip four seats from Republicans while holding all of their own.
That is damn near impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Tall order for that, I mean locally, The big one
that a lot of people have been watching is my district,
which is Republican Mike Garcia, the incumbent up against George
Whiteside's the Democrat.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Right now, Yeah, where's that?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, when I saw it last night, just before I
went to bed, it was separated by about two hundred votes.
White sides had a lot of the early numbers. Garcia
was able to get them back with some of the
daily day of voting that had come in. So right
now Mike Garcia has fifty one point two percent of
the vote. George whitesidees at forty eight point eight and
the separation is about five thousand votes, so that that
(04:00):
separation is actually growing in favor of the Republican in
that case, Mike Carcia. But that's a seat they all
Republicans already have, they're just trying to keep.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There's a moment that people are kind of drilling down
on where Kamala Harris probably sealed her fate, And it
was that view interview and the would you have done
anything differently than Biden in the past four years? And
she said, I can't think of a single thing people
wanted to hear I would have fought, I would and
(04:31):
I will continue to fight to get this economy in
the right order and to secure the border. I mean,
those were the things that people really care about.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It they wanted they wanted her to acknowledge that those
were concerns that they had.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Americans are struggling at home. You go to the grocery store.
If you do the grocery shopping for your house, you
know how ridiculous it is there. You can hear about inflation, numbers,
cooling all you want, but if you're paying the bills,
it's hard. And that's what people care about. They don't
care about a guy in a Honduras who wants a
pathway to citizenship. They don't care about shouting your abortion.
(05:08):
They don't care about a boy that wants to play
on a girl's team because he identifies as a girl.
They care about taking care of their families and having
enough money to put dinner on the table.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Politico.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
One of their big articles this morning is why Kamala
Harris lost the election, written by Christopher Catalago and Holly Otterben,
and they say that exact thing that she inherited this
campaign from Joe Biden over the summer that appeared to
be be flatlining given his the president's inability to put
a sentence together in that debate, but they said she
(05:38):
never sufficiently buried Biden's ghost, severely hamstringing her ability to
sell voters on the idea that hers was the turn
the page candidacy. She couldn't separate herself from him. Now
going forward, going forward, we have to talk about so
what is the for both parties? What is the Republican
(05:59):
Party look like in twenty twenty eight and what does
jads Democratic Party look like in twenty Tavin Newsom in
jd Vance.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I mean, that's a great prediction because I think obviously
jad Vance has a leg up above everybody because he
is this vice president elect.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But when you talked to when you talk to conservative Republicans,
or I'll just say, when I have talked to conservative Republicans,
they love jd Vance. They wish he was on the
top of the ticket.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, he's done a lot better than I think a
lot of people were expecting. One moment that I saw
this morning, I didn't see it last night. But one
moment that I saw that was striking to me was
my wife and I were kind of dipping in and out,
kind of watching into kind of not watching it. One
of the comments was that Kamala Harris was underperforming in Minnesota,
(06:46):
or at least underperforming compared to what Joe Biden did
four years ago. She picked a vice presidential candidate from
Minnesota and was underperforming what Joe Biden did. It's unbelievable
those types of decisions like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Should she have chosen Josh Shapiro.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Should the Democrats have had a primary and put a
more likable candidate in the position instead of just handing
it to her. This was the moment last night that
I thought exemplified what was wrong with and what the
Democratic Party is going to have to deal with for
the next couple of years. This is from CNN, John King,
Jake Tapper. So you asked, are there any places that
the vice president is overperforming Joe Biden in twenty twenty?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
So we can show you that as well. We just
bring that out here. Harris overperforming twenty twenty only smokes
there you go. So let this go away and see
if there's anything in the East Side. There literally nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Literally, there was not one county in the entire United
States when they showed that video. There was not one
county where Kamala Harris did better than Joe Biden from
four years ago.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Wow, not one.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And I want to get into it and coming up next,
but we do ourselves no favor saying that The reason
she didn't win is because we are a racist, misogynist country.
That's just not true. And to think that is so
much more damaging than to actually sit down and listen
to what people actually have to say. It wasn't because
(08:14):
she was a woman of color. It was because she
lacked substance and hung the hat of the party on
things like abortion and other things that don't mean a
whole lot to a wide swath of people.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Who and who in the party is strong enough to
have that post mortem?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Honestly, I don't know. I don't know, and that's the problem.
I was reading this article about the House races in
the Associated Press and they said that like in California,
the fight for Democrats to get about ten or so seats,
where Republicans, the way they write it, have made surprising
gains in recent years, to which I say, there's a
(08:51):
reason why people are voting for Republicans down the ticket
in California. It's because they're fed up with the crime
and they don't care D or R. They want someone
who's going to support law and order. And you saw
that when voters last night overwhelmingly approved that Prop thirty
six to roll back Prop forty seven, which has made
(09:14):
it the law of the land where you can get
away with stealing willy nilly and just get a slap
on the wrist.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Our memories are so short when it comes to stuff
like this. We think about most most often mid term elections.
For example, when it comes to Congress, we saw it
in twenty two, we saw it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
In twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Whoever wins the presidency can expect to have some pushback
two years later. If Republicans take the House and Senate.
I mean they have the Senate, but if they take
the House in this next Congress, you're gonna see some pushback,
and people are going to go back and they're going
to vote blue again in two years when it's time
to reset the House of Representatives.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
That's what we do.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We forget that this is a constant pendulum swinging back
and forth, and yes there should be some there's the
wide swath of America is somewhere in the middle of that.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
They don't want to go too far that way.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
They also don't want to go too far that way,
and are just our nature when it comes to the
way we vote is to try to bring things a
little bit back to normal, back back to the center.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
California and the Democratic Party's pendulum has swung way, way
too far left. And we talked about this eight years
ago at the convention in Philadelphia. We talked about their
obsession with unisex bathrooms and who really cares about that?
Who out there living their life cares about men and
(10:38):
women going to the bathroom together because it makes this
point one percent of the population feel comfortable. What you're
focusing on the wrong things, You're dying on the wrong hills.
And everyone that was shocked in twenty sixteen that Trump won,
and everyone that thumb there knows at jd Vance's book
about how that happened and hillbilly elogy about the people
(10:59):
that are tired of the elites forgetting about them, forgetting
about how hard it is for them food on the table.
They didn't learn the lesson. They did nothing differently. In fact,
the pendulum swung even further from bathrooms to we will
have the taxpayers pay for transgender operations for prisoners.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
That is I thought we were in crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Town with the unisex bathrooms hill they were dying on,
and then.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It went even further. So they've got to.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Have a reckoning the Democrats do in their party of
realizing that the small things that the elite, the rich,
the coastal people care about is not what the people
in Michigan care about. It's not what the people in
Ohio care about.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
It doesn't ring true.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know so many people will fall into the trap
of let's just hate Trump and everything Trump for four
years and let's just commiserate and just shake our heads
at what Trump's doing, instead of looking in the mirror
and being like, how can we change to reflect more
of America?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I saw I was trying.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I was flipping back and forth between different channels last
night to try to see if anybody actually It was
right after ten o'clock when I think it was Fox
that originally called Pennsylvania, but they didn't declare him the winner,
or didn't project him the winner, I should say, so.
They projected that he was going to take Pennsylvania, which
(12:24):
would have put him which would not put him over
to seventy, but would have taken away any chance that
Kamala Harris had to get to two seventy. And I
was amazed at the majority of the conversation that happened
at about ten twenty probably last night our time when
(12:44):
Fox calls Pennsylvania and again all that does. It doesn't
give him two seventy, but it does take away her
path to two seventy. Nobody said anything, Nobody wanted to
say anything. Flip over to other channels, CNNMSNBC, News Nation A,
Fox a local channel. Nobody wanted to say it. Nobody
wanted to go and do what Fox did, which was
(13:06):
Pennsylvania for Trump. Remember four years ago they did the
exact same thing the other way with Arizona, where they
predicted or projected that Arizona was going to go for Biden,
which would have crippled Donald Trump's chances for reelection. And
nobody else wanted to go out on that bar. Nobody
(13:29):
else wanted to go out there, So it took a
while for other agencies. The AP, I don't think, called
Arizona for a couple of days, and Fox had it
right the whole time. Last night they called it at
ten twenty About twenty five minutes later, News Nation then
projected Donald Trump the winner, after they also called Pennsylvania
for Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
President Biden reportedly will address the nation about the election
results sometime today. What do you think about the fan
fiction of Biden handing over the remaining months to Kamala
Harris to cement his legacy as a strong Democrat that
fights for.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
For women for women. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I don't from what we know of Joe Biden from
five years ago, I don't know what condition he's in
right now, but five years ago, I don't think that
would happen.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But what but what a cherry on top moment for
him to avert disaster. I mean, he's going to get
a lot of blame for that garbage comment and for
her loss. Could so turning the tide on that would
be handing it over.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So we are always listening to your talkback messages.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Don't be an a hole. Just don't be an a hole.
If you want to celebrate your win, you want to
cry your loss, whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Thought your rule is don't be a D. That's a
bit from D to a hole.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I tell my kids, don't be a D.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Do you use the word when you talk to your
kids like that?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I do?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Now you do?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That makes me sad?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Sorry, Shannon and Gary.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
It's like the Rams winning the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah's trap? Is that? Tono?
Speaker 5 (15:07):
No, you guys have a great money.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're in a rams hat.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Hey, good morning Gary and Shannon Man. Am I glad
all that's over with? Yep, no more texts, no more mails,
no more ads on TV and all that. It was
just incredibly overwhelming. So one thing I will say, though,
I believe that Kamela Nutt conceding is really a bad
look for her, and that may say something about her
personality that this was very, very wrong for her not
(15:35):
to concede the election. But anyway, it's over with. Let's
get on to news and Bruise.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't have a problem do you. Thank you?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
By the way, Friday at Lucha or Brewing and Chino
Hills will be out there for the news and brus
I don't have a problem with her not conceding until today.
That I mean the specifics of the concession speech, et cetera.
But if you're a Kamala Harris supporter and you went
to the event and how she didn't come out.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it would have been like the middle of the
night thoughouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean they were there for six or seven hours,
they were waiting for her. Even if she just said, hey,
you guys. We we put up a great fight. We're
still counting. We'll see you tomorrow. Something like that. I
mean Hillary Clinton did the same thing eight years ago,
or she never came out, and that left a lot
of people at the sour.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Taste in their mouth.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Why can't we as a people have enough heart to
make room for two baby hippos, two baby pygmy hippos.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Moodang Moo moo dang. This is the headline in the
New York Times.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Moodang Hoo Dang, Meet hagis the baby pygmy hippo. Move over, Moodang,
says NBC News. There's a new baby hippo, Hagis in Scotland.
Why does Moodang have to go anywhere? Why can't we
have Moodang and Haggis the new hippo both residing in
our hearts?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
We like to move on. It's awful we're a constantly
changing society.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Or to move on for Moodang.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
That's the reason why you're not wearing bell bottoms today.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I was going to wear flair jeans today.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Is that what they call them now?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
They're still bell bottoms right, Yeah? Why didn't you? I
don't know well, there is not room in your closet.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's not enough room in the jeans that they run
a little small, and I'm feeling a little big.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Well, Halloween candy amnesty lasts until tomorrow, so you have
a stopped telling me that. Okay, So the presidential election
last night has been President Trump has been predicted projected
the winner. The projected electoral vote right now is at
(17:39):
depending on where you look, at two seventy seven for
Donald Trump to twenty four for Kamala Harris with three
states I believe it is that have yet to be declared.
That would be Minnesota, Nope, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. I
think Alaska also has not officially been declared, but it
is also leaning. It is leaning towards Trump some of
(18:03):
the things that we've learned. Also, Number one, polls were
wrong for one thing, and it'll take a couple of days,
I think, for people to go back, the polling people
to go back and figure out which polls had it
closest to what actually happened yesterday, so that they can
figure out and reconfigure, rejigger everything for a couple of
(18:25):
years from now when we have to do our congressional
races once again. There are obviously still questions outstanding when
it comes to control of the House of Representatives, but
it looks as if Republicans are going to take control
of the House. That I assume means that Mike Johnson
would keep his speakership In the Senate. I actually think
(18:48):
that John Cornyn would probably take over for Mitch McConnell
as the Senate majority leader going forward. But we'll see.
And yes, Trump had Republican Houses of Congress when he
started in twenty seventeen. Paul Ryan, you remember, was the speaker,
so he had both the Senate and the House then too.
The exit polls, though, give us an idea. This is
(19:10):
when journalists, reporters, whatever, pollsters will walk up to somebody
who just voted and asked them the questions about why
did you vote the way that you did, Which issues
were the things that made these decisions for you, just.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like murder and crime and everything else. Follow the money, yeah,
follow the money. That's what people care about.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Nathan Hackman will be your district attorney here in Los
Angeles County. George Gascon got his pants handed to him
last night. We're also following the story out of Malibu.
Right now, there is a brushfire that started. It looks
like right along Malibu Bluff's Park between pch and Malibu Road.
(19:52):
The wind is blowing offshore, very very strong, and it
looks like at least one of the houses there along
Malibu Road caught fire, with crews trying to try to
put that out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Critical fire threat across all of southern California, essentially widespread
damaging wind gus sixty to eighty miles per hour, likely
in the mountains and foothills. The places that are the
hardest for firefighters to reach. This is La Ventura County's
the Santa Monica's Santa Susannas as well isolated guests gusts
of up to one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, that woke me up this morning.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I was up late watching TV, and then I got
up at about four because it was the wind was
blowing so hard at my house that it sounded like
people were breaking into the windows. So I had a
little self defense class and my dog and I sat
out there like Barney Fife.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You and your dog. Your dog's this big and has
no legs.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
He's got a bigger bark.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I would grab the gun before I grabbed the dog.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Well, I'll let you he has an outsized bark. I'll
tell you that it doesn't fit the size of his body. Okay,
because that dog's nut resonates in his bone and his
head cavity or something.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
He probably has an outsized ego because of the strength
of his bark.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
A couple of comments to get to regarding what happened yesterday.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Gigarian Shannon, it's a beautiful day. The sun is shining,
it's beautiful. I'm walking on the beach. I'm just very
grateful that the election is over, that we don't have
to see or hear any more political ads, that my
mailbox will not be stuffed with junk mail, and that
we can just go on living our lives and hopefully
being good humans to each Yes, God bless America. Hope
(21:36):
you guys have a beautiful Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That was nice.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Play that every break.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Maybe just this is Rick and two of us today. Rick,
I consider Donald Trump to be a horrible human being. Okay, However,
like every president in my lifetime, I've always wished them well.
I pray that they'll do better for the country.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Thanks guys, Okay, listen, you don't have to like him.
He's the president or he will be. I mean, that's just.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And again, how many times in your daily life does
it matter who the I mean? In your daily life,
in your relationships with your family, in the times that
you go to the grocery store, in the conversations that
you have with your kids teacher, at the time that
you have an announcement that somebody goes into hospice, or
the announcement that somebody is going to give birth, or
that someone's going to get married. How many times who
(22:29):
the president is impact those much more important events in
your life.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Malibu Fire says there will be probably evacuations due to
this fire where at least one seaside home burning. They're
calling it the Broad Fire burning near pch and Malibu
Canyon Road. The pictures are dramatic because well, the homes
are dramatic, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, there at least it looks like there's two homes
at least now on fire there right along Malibu.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I hope it's not the courts house that they bought
just to do laundry, and.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It's not I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The fire itself looks like it started their Malibu Bluff
Park between the between p H and Malibu Road.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And another one uh in More Park, and everyone said
that is that? This one is that on K T
l A as well? Are those two separate fires? Those
are both Malibu More Park. Yeah, I mean that's what
we heard all morning long, that the fire danger today
was going to be incredible, and it did not disappoint
(23:33):
so far. So we'll keep our eyes on these as
we move. Of this going on, you can.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Be all mixing and matching and moving around.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Well, I think that we got a victory here, which was, oh,
let's well, this is.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
A victory toys.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think we get to take a victory lap for
George Gascon losing because I think we were pretty clear
on that one from go.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Well, thankfully everybody was pretty clear on that one. It
wasn't just a voice in the wilderness that changed people's minds. Yeah,
George Gascon lost significantly. And I heard Steve we'll talk
with Steve here in a few minutes also, but I
heard him this morning just explaining, you know, there was
all think about where we were four years ago when
(24:16):
George Gascon won, and that the peak of anger and
frustration and civil disobedience, and everybody thought that that was
the way to fix things, was to put a guy
like George Gascon in power, when in fact it was awful.
It was an awful decision, and we had to sit
(24:37):
through four years of it before we could take him
out again.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I believe in diversion programs. I believe in the idea
that some people can be rehabilitated. I also know that's
not the norm in terms of the really bad of
the bad who end up in prison and the not
holding people accountable for felonies and calling them misdemeanors does
(24:59):
those people no good, and it does our communities no good.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
All right, now a reminder Friday, we are going to
be live at Luchador Brewing in Chino Hills to not
talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
