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. There's nothing else en route to California.
The super tanker docked in Long Beach just delivered California's
last incoming shipment of Middle Eastern oil, which is important
(00:22):
because here in California we import seventy five percent of
our oil, one third of it comes from the Middle East,
and the stuff that doesn't come from the Middle East
is being hoarded in other countries. Because of the shortage
through the Strait of Horn Moves, the next shipment isn't
going to happen for California until months after the Strait
(00:42):
of Horn Moves reopens, and we don't have a date
on that. So buckle up, Buttercup. I hope you like
your home, because you're not going to be leaving it
very much.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Carrie and Shannon KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeart Radio Today from the Seller's Advantage Studios. Welcome to Tuesday,
May twelfth.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We will get into more about California's gas prices future
and what those analysts and predictors say. Fresh information today
and we'll do that coming up next.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So we mentioned this President Trump was on his way
to China, so we'll talk tomorrow about what's going on
with the big meeting with he and Shehi Jinping. There
are multiple issues that have to be discussed between these
two guys. One of them is what's going on with Iran. Yesterday,
the President said that the ceasefire with Iran is on
life support and unbelievably weak after the two countries exchanged
(01:35):
fire over the weekend. We've told you about that also.
Pete Hegseth. This morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was speaking
before a Congressional Cut Congressional budget meeting and said that
the United States does have several military options in the
Middle East, including either pulling back or shifting assets. Just
declined to describe anything. We also have a plan to
(01:58):
escalate if necessary, to bring Iran back to some sort
of negotiation table, if there even is a negotiation table,
and if there's even anybody to negotiate with.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Trump said he thought a diplomatic solution was still
very possible, but only if they changed their mind, and
then went on to call the Iranian people very dishonorable.
So that's where we're at. Everything is very frigid right now,
and these talks. The ceasefire has not been a ceasefire.
It has not been a ceasefire since hours after it
(02:29):
was declared a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And we are out of oil. Headline from the Wall
Street Journal today the US and Iran are locked in
a stalemate. That's neither peace nor war. Not just the headline. Yeah,
that's exactly right, But that's a great way to put it.
I mean, you did, and you think of for those
of us that grew up seventies, eighties and long before
(02:55):
that as well. But we knew what the Cold War was.
We knew that there was a continuous threat, at least
we were told there was a continuous, ongoing, real lethal
threat from Russia, from the Soviet Union. And that's just
kind of the way we grew up. That's the way
we understood the world to be. I don't see Iran
(03:18):
as that being as being that powerful obviously as the USSR.
But if we're stuck with this, well, either they've become
a major player in all of this. They've been able
to grind the gears to an absolute stop around.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
The world when you say you don't see them as
being that strong of a power. The people that pressed
go on this thing didn't either thought that this would
be get in and get out and get some sort
of agreement they've never been able to get from Iran
before in terms of abandoning their nuclear program.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's not what's happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And the Iranian government has a huge leverage point and
we're feeling it now and we're going to feel it
more in California than elsewhere. And yes, it's because of
California's environmental policies and protections that have been in place
since the late seventies that have shuttled oil companies out
of California and no drilling and all of that. But
(04:15):
you can have that debate another day, because that gets
you nowhere in terms of we are out of oil
and it's not getting it's not going to get better
by summer. Like a lot of the analysts are predicting yesterday,
we're predicting well by summer. The administration, you know, the
Energy Secretary when I'll meet the press and said, oh things,
(04:35):
gas prices are going to be back and they're going
to be even lower in the summer. That's great, and
I love that for you, and I keep the hope alive.
But you're talking about other places everywhere else, You're talking
about other places. Yeah, So the fact that there's no
sign of any sort of agreement, in fact, it's gotten
icier between both sides, is a real problem. Suddenly, it's
(04:59):
a very the real problem in California, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, And here's the thing. You're gonna hear candidates for governor,
at least Democrats say the reason is Trump period, and
they're not going to do They're just gonna lay the
blame at his feet without coming up with any sort
of real solutions to keep gasoline affordable in this state.
And I'm saying there's enough blame to go around.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
There's enough blame for all of the policy holders and
makers for the past forty years in California. And you know,
you can make that argument, and you can have that
debate all the time about protecting you know, the protecting California.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
But right now is not a time to fight that fight.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Right now is a time to realize that we're screwed,
and we're screwed for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Unfortunately, and I don't it doesn't feel like there's a
lot of people that are even aware of.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And to your point, nobody cares because all the politicians
are going to blame the play the blame game. You
have Democrats blaming Trump and this war in Iran. You're
gonna have the Republicans blaming all of the energy policy
of California going back four decades like I talked about.
But they don't care because they're rich and they don't
care how much gas prices are.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Who's fed all of us?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's why I'm saying, like that debate, I'm kind of
out of patience for the debate on why we're here.
We're here and it sucks, so what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And it's not getting better anytime soon? Yeah, despite what
Chris Raig might tell you. All Right, a little bit
more on that we come back. Also a chance for
you to win some gas money one thousand dollars coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh you're the one I did. It's time for you
to win a thousand dollars. Here's how you can pick
it up. Now is your opportunity to win one thousand dollars.
Just enter the nationwide keyword on our website cash, that's cash,
c ash.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com. Slash
cash brought to you by Sweet Cheam Accident Attorney's Office
in Los Angeles, California and Sweet James dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Again, a keyword cash goes on the website. Keep an
eye on your email inbox. That's how we're gonna let
you know that you want a thousand dollars. I have
a couple of problems with what we're talking about. We're
talking about the oil that is cut off now, basically
effectively cut off from places like the Middle East. You
(07:26):
had mentioned that this new Corolla, this giant tanker carrying
about two million gallons of oil, came from Iraq, just
made it through the Strait of Horror moves just before
the end of February, just before it was all shut
down because of the war. And that is effectively the
last tanker from that part of the world to come
(07:46):
to California and unload oil. Now we do get placed,
we do get oil like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates,
but they're all effectively cut off now because the Strait
of Horror moves is done.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well in what they had to until then, right, what
they have, what other countries that we could do oil
business with have they're keeping for themselves because there's a shortage.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Because there's a shortage.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
After the Straight reopens, it's going to take a month
or two for the flows to start resuming, and then
you have all that catching up to do. So, like
I said, the next shipment here is not until after
the Strait of Horneux reopens, and we don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
When that's going to happen. So how we'll go on?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Uh, this new Corolla, this super tanker departed Iraq a
few days before US and Israel first attacked Iran. That's
how long it takes. So it passed through the Straight
February twenty eighth. It ferried about two million barrels of
crude across Indian and Pacific Oceans a six week journey.
(08:48):
Unloaded some of its cargo last month, appeared to be
discharging the rest at a berth in Long Beach just
on Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
We don't need to.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Talk about how bad it's gotten at the gas tank
for California, but our stockpiles of refined products jet fuel
diesel increasingly understrained because those Asian fuel suppliers we can
get fuel from opposed to a rock, including South Korea,
are stopping their exports because they're hoarding. Like I mentioned,
(09:21):
for instance, only about thirty five thousand barrels a day
of refined products are due to derive from South Korea.
We used to get one hundred thousand, so we're getting
a third from South Korea that we're used to getting.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And think of and just to give you the general picture,
you said thirty five thousand barrels a day from South
Korea that we can expect in the state. We use
more than a million barrels every single day, So thirty
five thousand is a drop in the barrel, pardon the pun,
(09:52):
but it is proof that we have to get it
from all of these different sources.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
California sent away companies. I think Chevron was the last
to leave a few years ago because the taxes and
the cost of doing business in California. Chevron relocated to Houston.
The oil boom that's happening in the United States, Texas,
New Mexico, none of that can come to California because
of the Jones Act, Okay, So that's the nineteen twenty
(10:18):
law that says that ships transporting goods between US ports
those have to be US built, US staffed, crude owned
all of that, which makes it punitively expensive. Now, Trump
actually issued a sixty day waiver of the Jones Act
back in March, so a couple months ago. That does
(10:40):
allow companies to ship oil and fuel to California on
bigger tankers. But that's a sixty day waiver, and that's
the Trump administration granting us that kindness.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well it is, and I fully expect, based on the
current conditions, to extend that. That's say, extend that.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, now there are other things. Remember this, and Shannon,
this is John from NARCO. Hey John, Shannon, calm down.
We are not out of oil. The United States is
the largest producer of oil in the world and Iran
produces less than five percent of the world's total oil.
(11:20):
So calm down, it's gonna hurt you.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I would have cut that. Calm down thing.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Have a great day.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Let me show back. Okay, the two things quick, just John.
First of all, yes, we do produce an absolute metric
s ton of oil in the United States, but we
don't have the infrastructure to get it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We don't have the pipelines in California to pipe that
in because we won't allow it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And if you're gonna and if you're gonna ship it,
which is the way people do it, you put it
in a tank or somewhere on the Gulf Coast. You
got to go through the Panama Canal, or for God's sake,
hopefully you don't. But you have to go through the
south and southern tip of Argentina to get it here.
And that is as expensive and time consuming as getting
it from the Middle East. Maybe not as time consuming,
but it's expensive. The idea that we were.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Kind of at island when it comes to oil and
we require that specific brand of fuel. And so save
that talkback for me till fourth of July weekend. Save
that talk back and then he can look in the
mirror and calm the f down.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
There's a point also where when Chevron left chief executive
Mike Wirth told analysts, we're doing everything we can to
meet our supply obligations. There he's referring to California, but
it does point out the vulnerabilities that have been created
in California as a result of decades of poor energy policy.
(12:44):
And I know that a lot of people like to
point out that they say gas companies have been gouging
us for decades here in California. Both can be true.
By the way, Well, here's why would they pull out
of the state if this is their richest market that
they've got, Why would they pull refineries out of the state.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
No, they're not doing business in the state because it's
too expensive. But when they sell us oil and gas
in this state, they already know that California f's people
over in terms of the taxes and the regulations.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So they just pile on.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They just pile on a little bit to where it's
not entirely noticeable.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, like I said, we don't have the pipelines here
that carry oil from Canada. They quit carry oil from
New Mexico or Texas or anywhere in the South. We
do have. The one thing that we forgot to point
out was that the Sable Offshore restarted their pipeline. The
Defense Production Act allowed the President to speed up the
(13:43):
flow of goods and emergencies, and that will allow Sable
Offshore to repump about fifty thousand barrels of crude into
the state, which then of course has to be refined.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's just but but here's the problem, Like currently there's
a bunch of legal problems with the state of California
with sable, right.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I mean the reason they were shut down in
the first place was was a spill ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, it's been dormant since twenty fifteen. So yeah,
but that's not like ready to ready to supply.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's And here's the thing. We know, we know these
are shortcomings. We know that this is potentially a cliff
that we're all just kind of mindlessly driving towards without
any real solutions. So I don't know. A lot of
has been said about the pressure that's on the Iranian
economy because they've been cut off, but yeah, I don't
(14:37):
We don't want to see what happens here if we
don't get some actual oil going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, coming up, and next, I love this story
because you know, we talk about it all the time.
I talk about it all the time about what a
freaking racket it is to work at city Hall, LA
City Hall or Sacramento State Capital or elsewhere and be
able to get the those lucrative contracts that continually put
(15:02):
money in your back pocket. Sure, you don't make a
lot of money as an elector at official No, you're
doing the good of the people.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But it's those contracts you secure that's.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Paying you in that back pocket. And we've got an
exact how to on how it goes down.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Garyan Shannon will continue you take notes, start your own business.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Not that for Friday, Hey, on Friday the twenty second,
we are going to be live at Bravery Brewing in
Lancaster once again for our latest news and Bruis will
be out there from nine to noon. Plus we're gonna
stick around for a short time and do our weekend
fixed recording, the podcast that only could air on the
weekends and not on the air. We'll do that while
(15:48):
we're there again Bravery Brewing. Don't forget the KFIPA will
be on tap that day, so come on out. A
great opportunity to grab an early lunch. Stick around. They
have literally a award winning pizza in their incredible Bravery
Pizza Kitchen that they just set up a couple of
years ago. So again that's coming up on Friday bravery
(16:08):
brewing in Lancaster May twenty second, not this Friday, the
next riding.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well said yesterday that Fox eleven should just cancel this debate,
and that's exactly what has happened. We'll talk about that
coming up after the news at the top of the hour.
And I mentioned that Karen Bass won the mayoral reelection
when she stood behind that podium at City Hall in
her red power, sued and took the victory lap for
getting the LA Unified ELLA Unified strike to not happen.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
She wielded her power. She shows that she wields her.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Power over the unions in that moment, and that is
why she is at forty nine percent. And as much
as Spencer Pratt makes sense and has great arguments, he
is not going to take that seat from her now
because that comes with so much power.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
When you have that much power over.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The union, you know that that's all about money, and
you know that where there is a union, there are
a lot of contracts. Where there is city government, state government,
federal government, a lot of contracts to be had. It's
one of the things you kind of hope to accomplish
if you're a business owner, is get those government contracts
(17:18):
guaranteed money. Because they guaranteed money, you know the check's clear,
and you know that it's going to be more than
you may earn in the private sector, and because they
don't count their dollars as carefully.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
A perfect also recent example of this is the whole
diaper program that you've seen the governor talk about, where
they're spending more for the diapers than it would for
you to actually go and get the diapers yourself. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's underlying the point that government doesn't care about your money.
They're not as they're not as hawkish as they should
be over each dollar that goes out the way you
would be in your own household. And we've known that
forever ever since, you know, I want to say it
was like thirty years ago did that big report and
found out how much the federal government was spending for
a pen or a chair.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Was probably longer than that, but yeah, I know what
you're talking and everyone's like, what, how do you spend
seven hundred dollars on a hammer? Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
LA Unified now is pretending that it has no idea
that this goes on, and they found somebody who got
caught in their system doing just this, awarding a contract
for the teachers union while putting money.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
In her own back pocket, and the LA Unified is like,
I can't believe it. Somebody in our rank and file
would do this.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, I need that, But that's exactly what's happening. So
we're kind of hearing how it all went down, which
is kind of fun because it's not just a conspiracy theory.
These rackets exist and it's a reason why a lot
of people get into finger quotes.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Public Service District Manager Grace Pang and the supposed person
that she was funneling these contracts to Gotham sampath art
Thou actually facing criminal charges for this. And over the
course of about four years, according to the leda's office,
(19:14):
Pang was giving high scores to secure contracts, she would
sign off on increasing payouts to a specific company, and
was using shell companies to launder the money that she
was getting as a kickback. So in all, they said
about twenty two million dollars was sent to this company,
and in ive, I think, is how you say inn
(19:36):
ive out of Texas, twenty two million dollars went to
that company that's Sam Path's company. And as a result,
he turns around signs off on about three million dollars
for her as a big weake nod, thank you, here's
a fancy bottle of wine for getting me the contract
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So the text messages have been on earth through this investigation.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's so great and they're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
In one instance, she allegedly texted him, I broke all
law for you already lol, And I have a way
to get those money. We can load them up more
work than charge more hours. And then he texts her
delete all the WhatsApp chats. If anyone sees a text
about those internal things, it'll be a problem.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay, Okay, let's just pull the car over.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
If you're having a WhatsApp conversation with someone to funnel
money illegally or to enrich yourself through tax dollars, okay,
but then don't talk about said WhatsApp messages in emails
or text messages that are not encoded.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You dumb ass send nudes and then say something like, hey,
delete the nudes that you just yeah, delete the nudes
from WhatsApp, Like what are you doing. The other thing
about about this is that Grace Paying is a manager
for the information technology services area in the LA Unified
School District. So there's an assumption, at least on my part,
she has a glimpse of what goes on when it
(21:12):
comes to encrypted text messaging or not.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So she's known this guy since twenty fifteen. Invibe began
working for the district in twenty seventeen. And here's one
example of how the scheme worked. She submitted scores for
an Invibe bid in February of twenty eighteen. So what
happens if LA Unified has a project. One of her
jobs was to go out and find vendors for the
(21:36):
project and then go through each proposal and kind of
grade them which ones look good for the district, which
ones make sense for us, or the money makes sense.
And she gave Invibe the highest score, which led to
the contract. That's how simple it starts.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then you get away with it once and you
think to yourself, well, load up on this gravy. Let's
get another one. Let's do a few more of these
things now. After a Pang signed to change order back
in twenty nineteen for different contracts, two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars, a separate work order for a half a million,
another one for one point three million, signing off on
(22:15):
all righty So, Sam Path allegedly texted Grace Pang in
twenty nineteen, as a result of all of these contracts
being sent to his company, that there would be about
a million dollars transferred back to Grace Pang that would
quote be easy to track unless multiple companies were used. Ah,
(22:35):
don't forget. Set up your shell companies so we can
launder the money.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Now, if you're wondering, does this have anything to do
with those FBI raids for the Superintendent of Set Agency,
Alberto Carvallo. No, no, sorry, that's other fraud. That's gonna
be fraud involving aicontracts. But stay tuned, we'll tell you
more about how the LA Unified is used as a
big shell company to make public servants rich.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Quick sports update for you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
We knew this was happening, right The writing was on
the wall Laker Nation that the Lakers were not going
to survive a thunder series. Certainly not with the injuries
the Lakers have had down the stretch. Lebron carrying a
team at forty one years old. It just wasn't going
to be the Cinderella ending. That's hard on the knees.
But the question now becomes, what are the Lakers going
(23:37):
to do? Lebron's got to be out right forty one
years old.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well, his comment from last night after the game, he
said he wants to recalibrate. I don't know what that means.
He wants to take time with his family. I doubt it.
But as for retirement, he says he does not know
what the future holds. No, so he's got this. This
will be what his third big decision thing that we're
(24:02):
going to set or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Got Yeah, So I mean the Lakers. I loved the
story with the father son team. I say that as
somebody who's not a Laker fan. I'm sure that you
did not love that story if you're a Laker fan,
or at least a lost patience for it and the
commitment to it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
But what do you mean just oh that they were
forcing the issue of bringing Brownie onto cell tickets.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
But the Lakers are far from where they need to be,
So what does that mean for next season? I think
free agency starts in July. But there's a lot that
needs to be retooled with that team.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Isn't that just the danger of success? I mean, the
Lakers are an iconic team, probably top I don't know
five sports franchises. In the entire week, we get used
to the top of the mountain, don't you. Yeah, and
that you're gonna You're gonna have some dark times. Just
that's the nature of sports. And when you don't make it.
I mean, they made it to the playoff. I mean,
(25:00):
look at all those people in Buffalo. What has become
of them?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
They get drunk and they take leaps onto card tables
every weekend, you know what I mean? Because they saw
them on the image of a Bills Yeah, falling, They
saw the top of the mountain four times in a decade.
It was failed, and it failed capitalized, and now they
just drink to poisoning and uh and fall on tables.
(25:25):
So the Lakers are trying to avoid that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Drink to poison. That's pretty funny, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
But look at the Dodgers, My god, are they leaving
runners stranded? Are they not capitalizing? What's going on? They
drop another one to the Giants.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Uh, that was easy to watch pressing at the plate.
He's forcing it. What's happened? Orl said something last Oral herscheizer,
that is I call him. Orl Oral said something last
night that was very for some reason. It it absolutely
struck the tuning fork with me. You can't swing your
way out of a of a slump. Yeah, and he's
(26:09):
show he was in a dry pat right now. He'll
get out of it. They all do. It's but and
there's for for a baseball player like that. He's trying everything.
I mean. They talked about him doing batting practice yesterday,
extra batting practice, which he doesn't ever do, I guess,
and he did it in the World Series and they said,
I wish I could tell you that it was like
(26:31):
he put on a clinic. But and then they show
him like popping balls up off of the off the
tortoise shell. It happens. It's just it's just one of
those things. But if you don't help me, now, I say,
f you.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Joe Bou.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Mookie Bets came back. Mookie Bets came back from his
oblique string and it was funny because every move he made,
they would go.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Don't, don't, don't bullet, Yeah, you're cringing constantly. That's the
worst when you see players like that. I felt that
way with Clayton Kershaw too, where I'm just like each
pitch like I don't know how old is Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Mookie Bets is thirty four. Oh, that's a guess. Let's
see here, thirty three. Yeah, he'll be thirty four in October.
He's still fine. Everything's fine. But the Dodgers did lose
to the Giants last night. They'll play again tonight, huge
Game five on the ice for the Ducks tonight. Yeah,
they're in Vegas. That series is tied at too too
and before we go for the.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Hour, Shannon parent on the YAH thing, Yeah you got it,
just write we are screwed. You did a really good
job of them saying exactly what's going on with the
tax and the laws and everything.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
So great job.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
You said it perfectly with the gas thing, we are screwed.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Did you go into the other round and record that
using one of your voices because you knew that I
was upset with the guy who told me to calm down?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Repeatdn't I think you did? I think that was you.
I think that was one of your characters.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Shannon right on that.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Yes, that is a hundred percent not me, not me.
I appreciate it. Gary Shannon will continue right after that.
Good friend, this is KFI. You've been listening to the
Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You can always hear us live on kf I Am
six forty nine am to noon 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. There's nothing else en route to California.
The super tanker docked in Long Beach just delivered California's
last incoming shipment of Middle Eastern oil, which is important
(00:22):
because here in California we import seventy five percent of
our oil, one third of it comes from the Middle East,
and the stuff that doesn't come from the Middle East
is being hoarded in other countries. Because of the shortage
through the Strait of Horn Moves, the next shipment isn't
going to happen for California until months after the Strait
(00:42):
of Horn Moves reopens, and we don't have a date
on that. So buckle up, Buttercup. I hope you like
your home, because you're not going to be leaving it
very much.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Carrie and Shannon KFIAM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeart Radio Today from the Seller's Advantage Studios. Welcome to Tuesday,
May twelfth.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We will get into more about California's gas prices future
and what those analysts and predictors say. Fresh information today
and we'll do that coming up next.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So we mentioned this President Trump was on his way
to China, so we'll talk tomorrow about what's going on
with the big meeting with he and Shehi Jinping. There
are multiple issues that have to be discussed between these
two guys. One of them is what's going on with Iran. Yesterday,
the President said that the ceasefire with Iran is on
life support and unbelievably weak after the two countries exchanged
(01:35):
fire over the weekend. We've told you about that also.
Pete Hegseth. This morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was speaking
before a Congressional Cut Congressional budget meeting and said that
the United States does have several military options in the
Middle East, including either pulling back or shifting assets. Just
declined to describe anything. We also have a plan to
(01:58):
escalate if necessary, to bring Iran back to some sort
of negotiation table, if there even is a negotiation table,
and if there's even anybody to negotiate with.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
The Trump said he thought a diplomatic solution was still
very possible, but only if they changed their mind, and
then went on to call the Iranian people very dishonorable.
So that's where we're at. Everything is very frigid right now,
and these talks. The ceasefire has not been a ceasefire.
It has not been a ceasefire since hours after it
(02:29):
was declared a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And we are out of oil. Headline from the Wall
Street Journal today the US and Iran are locked in
a stalemate. That's neither peace nor war. Not just the headline. Yeah,
that's exactly right, But that's a great way to put it.
I mean, you did, and you think of for those
of us that grew up seventies, eighties and long before
(02:55):
that as well. But we knew what the Cold War was.
We knew that there was a continuous threat, at least
we were told there was a continuous, ongoing, real lethal
threat from Russia, from the Soviet Union. And that's just
kind of the way we grew up. That's the way
we understood the world to be. I don't see Iran
(03:18):
as that being as being that powerful obviously as the USSR.
But if we're stuck with this, well, either they've become
a major player in all of this. They've been able
to grind the gears to an absolute stop around.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
The world when you say you don't see them as
being that strong of a power. The people that pressed
go on this thing didn't either thought that this would
be get in and get out and get some sort
of agreement they've never been able to get from Iran
before in terms of abandoning their nuclear program.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's not what's happened.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And the Iranian government has a huge leverage point and
we're feeling it now and we're going to feel it
more in California than elsewhere. And yes, it's because of
California's environmental policies and protections that have been in place
since the late seventies that have shuttled oil companies out
of California and no drilling and all of that. But
(04:15):
you can have that debate another day, because that gets
you nowhere in terms of we are out of oil
and it's not getting it's not going to get better
by summer. Like a lot of the analysts are predicting yesterday,
we're predicting well by summer. The administration, you know, the
Energy Secretary when I'll meet the press and said, oh things,
(04:35):
gas prices are going to be back and they're going
to be even lower in the summer. That's great, and
I love that for you, and I keep the hope alive.
But you're talking about other places everywhere else, You're talking
about other places. Yeah, So the fact that there's no
sign of any sort of agreement, in fact, it's gotten
icier between both sides, is a real problem. Suddenly, it's
(04:59):
a very the real problem in California, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, And here's the thing. You're gonna hear candidates for governor,
at least Democrats say the reason is Trump period, and
they're not going to do They're just gonna lay the
blame at his feet without coming up with any sort
of real solutions to keep gasoline affordable in this state.
And I'm saying there's enough blame to go around.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
There's enough blame for all of the policy holders and
makers for the past forty years in California. And you know,
you can make that argument, and you can have that
debate all the time about protecting you know, the protecting California.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
But right now is not a time to fight that fight.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Right now is a time to realize that we're screwed,
and we're screwed for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Unfortunately, and I don't it doesn't feel like there's a
lot of people that are even aware of.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And to your point, nobody cares because all the politicians
are going to blame the play the blame game. You
have Democrats blaming Trump and this war in Iran. You're
gonna have the Republicans blaming all of the energy policy
of California going back four decades like I talked about.
But they don't care because they're rich and they don't
care how much gas prices are.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Who's fed all of us?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's why I'm saying, like that debate, I'm kind of
out of patience for the debate on why we're here.
We're here and it sucks, so what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And it's not getting better anytime soon? Yeah, despite what
Chris Raig might tell you. All Right, a little bit
more on that we come back. Also a chance for
you to win some gas money one thousand dollars coming up.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Oh you're the one I did. It's time for you
to win a thousand dollars. Here's how you can pick
it up. Now is your opportunity to win one thousand dollars.
Just enter the nationwide keyword on our website cash, that's cash,
c ash.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com. Slash
cash brought to you by Sweet Cheam Accident Attorney's Office

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Again, a keyword cash goes on the website. Keep an
eye on your email inbox. That's how we're gonna let
you know that you want a thousand dollars. I have
a couple of problems with what we're talking about. We're
talking about the oil that is cut off now, basically
effectively cut off from places like the Middle East. You
(07:26):
had mentioned that this new Corolla, this giant tanker carrying
about two million gallons of oil, came from Iraq, just
made it through the Strait of Horror moves just before
the end of February, just before it was all shut
down because of the war. And that is effectively the
last tanker from that part of the world to come
(07:46):
to California and unload oil. Now we do get placed,
we do get oil like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates,
but they're all effectively cut off now because the Strait
of Horror moves is done.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well in what they had to until then, right, what
they have, what other countries that we could do oil
business with have they're keeping for themselves because there's a shortage.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Because there's a shortage.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
After the Straight reopens, it's going to take a month
or two for the flows to start resuming, and then
you have all that catching up to do. So, like
I said, the next shipment here is not until after
the Strait of Horneux reopens, and we don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
When that's going to happen. So how we'll go on?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Uh, this new Corolla, this super tanker departed Iraq a
few days before US and Israel first attacked Iran. That's
how long it takes. So it passed through the Straight
February twenty eighth. It ferried about two million barrels of
crude across Indian and Pacific Oceans a six week journey.
(08:48):
Unloaded some of its cargo last month, appeared to be
discharging the rest at a berth in Long Beach just
on Friday.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
We don't need to.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Talk about how bad it's gotten at the gas tank
for California, but our stockpiles of refined products jet fuel
diesel increasingly understrained because those Asian fuel suppliers we can
get fuel from opposed to a rock, including South Korea,
are stopping their exports because they're hoarding. Like I mentioned,
(09:21):
for instance, only about thirty five thousand barrels a day
of refined products are due to derive from South Korea.
We used to get one hundred thousand, so we're getting
a third from South Korea that we're used to getting.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
And think of and just to give you the general picture,
you said thirty five thousand barrels a day from South
Korea that we can expect in the state. We use
more than a million barrels every single day, So thirty
five thousand is a drop in the barrel, pardon the pun,
(09:52):
but it is proof that we have to get it
from all of these different sources.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
California sent away companies. I think Chevron was the last
to leave a few years ago because the taxes and
the cost of doing business in California. Chevron relocated to Houston.
The oil boom that's happening in the United States, Texas,
New Mexico, none of that can come to California because
of the Jones Act, Okay, So that's the nineteen twenty
(10:18):
law that says that ships transporting goods between US ports
those have to be US built, US staffed, crude owned
all of that, which makes it punitively expensive. Now, Trump
actually issued a sixty day waiver of the Jones Act
back in March, so a couple months ago. That does
(10:40):
allow companies to ship oil and fuel to California on
bigger tankers. But that's a sixty day waiver, and that's
the Trump administration granting us that kindness.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well it is, and I fully expect, based on the
current conditions, to extend that. That's say, extend that.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, now there are other things. Remember this, and Shannon,
this is John from NARCO. Hey John, Shannon, calm down.
We are not out of oil. The United States is
the largest producer of oil in the world and Iran
produces less than five percent of the world's total oil.
(11:20):
So calm down, it's gonna hurt you.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I would have cut that. Calm down thing.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Have a great day.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Let me show back. Okay, the two things quick, just John.
First of all, yes, we do produce an absolute metric
s ton of oil in the United States, but we
don't have the infrastructure to get it.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We don't have the pipelines in California to pipe that
in because we won't allow it.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And if you're gonna and if you're gonna ship it,
which is the way people do it, you put it
in a tank or somewhere on the Gulf Coast. You
got to go through the Panama Canal, or for God's sake,
hopefully you don't. But you have to go through the
south and southern tip of Argentina to get it here.
And that is as expensive and time consuming as getting
it from the Middle East. Maybe not as time consuming,
but it's expensive. The idea that we were.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Kind of at island when it comes to oil and
we require that specific brand of fuel. And so save
that talkback for me till fourth of July weekend. Save
that talk back and then he can look in the
mirror and calm the f down.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
There's a point also where when Chevron left chief executive
Mike Wirth told analysts, we're doing everything we can to
meet our supply obligations. There he's referring to California, but
it does point out the vulnerabilities that have been created
in California as a result of decades of poor energy policy.
(12:44):
And I know that a lot of people like to
point out that they say gas companies have been gouging
us for decades here in California. Both can be true.
By the way, Well, here's why would they pull out
of the state if this is their richest market that
they've got, Why would they pull refineries out of the state.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
No, they're not doing business in the state because it's
too expensive. But when they sell us oil and gas
in this state, they already know that California f's people
over in terms of the taxes and the regulations.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
So they just pile on.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They just pile on a little bit to where it's
not entirely noticeable.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, like I said, we don't have the pipelines here
that carry oil from Canada. They quit carry oil from
New Mexico or Texas or anywhere in the South. We
do have. The one thing that we forgot to point
out was that the Sable Offshore restarted their pipeline. The
Defense Production Act allowed the President to speed up the
(13:43):
flow of goods and emergencies, and that will allow Sable
Offshore to repump about fifty thousand barrels of crude into
the state, which then of course has to be refined.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's just but but here's the problem, Like currently there's
a bunch of legal problems with the state of California
with sable, right.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, I mean the reason they were shut down in
the first place was was a spill ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, it's been dormant since twenty fifteen. So yeah,
but that's not like ready to ready to supply.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's And here's the thing. We know, we know these
are shortcomings. We know that this is potentially a cliff
that we're all just kind of mindlessly driving towards without
any real solutions. So I don't know. A lot of
has been said about the pressure that's on the Iranian
economy because they've been cut off, but yeah, I don't
(14:37):
We don't want to see what happens here if we
don't get some actual oil going.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, coming up, and next, I love this story
because you know, we talk about it all the time.
I talk about it all the time about what a
freaking racket it is to work at city Hall, LA
City Hall or Sacramento State Capital or elsewhere and be
able to get the those lucrative contracts that continually put
(15:02):
money in your back pocket. Sure, you don't make a
lot of money as an elector at official No, you're
doing the good of the people.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But it's those contracts you secure that's.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Paying you in that back pocket. And we've got an
exact how to on how it goes down.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Garyan Shannon will continue you take notes, start your own business.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Not that for Friday, Hey, on Friday the twenty second,
we are going to be live at Bravery Brewing in
Lancaster once again for our latest news and Bruis will
be out there from nine to noon. Plus we're gonna
stick around for a short time and do our weekend
fixed recording, the podcast that only could air on the
weekends and not on the air. We'll do that while
(15:48):
we're there again Bravery Brewing. Don't forget the KFIPA will
be on tap that day, so come on out. A
great opportunity to grab an early lunch. Stick around. They
have literally a award winning pizza in their incredible Bravery
Pizza Kitchen that they just set up a couple of
years ago. So again that's coming up on Friday bravery
(16:08):
brewing in Lancaster May twenty second, not this Friday, the
next riding.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well said yesterday that Fox eleven should just cancel this debate,
and that's exactly what has happened. We'll talk about that
coming up after the news at the top of the hour.
And I mentioned that Karen Bass won the mayoral reelection
when she stood behind that podium at City Hall in
her red power, sued and took the victory lap for
getting the LA Unified ELLA Unified strike to not happen.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
She wielded her power. She shows that she wields her.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Power over the unions in that moment, and that is
why she is at forty nine percent. And as much
as Spencer Pratt makes sense and has great arguments, he
is not going to take that seat from her now
because that comes with so much power.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
When you have that much power over.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The union, you know that that's all about money, and
you know that where there is a union, there are
a lot of contracts. Where there is city government, state government,
federal government, a lot of contracts to be had. It's
one of the things you kind of hope to accomplish
if you're a business owner, is get those government contracts
(17:18):
guaranteed money. Because they guaranteed money, you know the check's clear,
and you know that it's going to be more than
you may earn in the private sector, and because they
don't count their dollars as carefully.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
A perfect also recent example of this is the whole
diaper program that you've seen the governor talk about, where
they're spending more for the diapers than it would for
you to actually go and get the diapers yourself. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's underlying the point that government doesn't care about your money.
They're not as they're not as hawkish as they should
be over each dollar that goes out the way you
would be in your own household. And we've known that
forever ever since, you know, I want to say it
was like thirty years ago did that big report and
found out how much the federal government was spending for
a pen or a chair.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Was probably longer than that, but yeah, I know what
you're talking and everyone's like, what, how do you spend
seven hundred dollars on a hammer? Yeah? Exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
LA Unified now is pretending that it has no idea
that this goes on, and they found somebody who got
caught in their system doing just this, awarding a contract
for the teachers union while putting money.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
In her own back pocket, and the LA Unified is like,
I can't believe it. Somebody in our rank and file
would do this.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, I need that, But that's exactly what's happening. So
we're kind of hearing how it all went down, which
is kind of fun because it's not just a conspiracy theory.
These rackets exist and it's a reason why a lot
of people get into finger quotes.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Public Service District Manager Grace Pang and the supposed person
that she was funneling these contracts to Gotham sampath art
Thou actually facing criminal charges for this. And over the
course of about four years, according to the leda's office,
(19:14):
Pang was giving high scores to secure contracts, she would
sign off on increasing payouts to a specific company, and
was using shell companies to launder the money that she
was getting as a kickback. So in all, they said
about twenty two million dollars was sent to this company,
and in ive, I think, is how you say inn
(19:36):
ive out of Texas, twenty two million dollars went to
that company that's Sam Path's company. And as a result,
he turns around signs off on about three million dollars
for her as a big weake nod, thank you, here's
a fancy bottle of wine for getting me the contract
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So the text messages have been on earth through this investigation.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's so great and they're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
In one instance, she allegedly texted him, I broke all
law for you already lol, And I have a way
to get those money. We can load them up more
work than charge more hours. And then he texts her
delete all the WhatsApp chats. If anyone sees a text
about those internal things, it'll be a problem.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay, Okay, let's just pull the car over.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
If you're having a WhatsApp conversation with someone to funnel
money illegally or to enrich yourself through tax dollars, okay,
but then don't talk about said WhatsApp messages in emails
or text messages that are not encoded.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
You dumb ass send nudes and then say something like, hey,
delete the nudes that you just yeah, delete the nudes
from WhatsApp, Like what are you doing. The other thing
about about this is that Grace Paying is a manager
for the information technology services area in the LA Unified
School District. So there's an assumption, at least on my part,
she has a glimpse of what goes on when it
(21:12):
comes to encrypted text messaging or not.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So she's known this guy since twenty fifteen. Invibe began
working for the district in twenty seventeen. And here's one
example of how the scheme worked. She submitted scores for
an Invibe bid in February of twenty eighteen. So what
happens if LA Unified has a project. One of her
jobs was to go out and find vendors for the
(21:36):
project and then go through each proposal and kind of
grade them which ones look good for the district, which
ones make sense for us, or the money makes sense.
And she gave Invibe the highest score, which led to
the contract. That's how simple it starts.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then you get away with it once and you
think to yourself, well, load up on this gravy. Let's
get another one. Let's do a few more of these
things now. After a Pang signed to change order back
in twenty nineteen for different contracts, two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars, a separate work order for a half a million,
another one for one point three million, signing off on
(22:15):
all righty So, Sam Path allegedly texted Grace Pang in
twenty nineteen, as a result of all of these contracts
being sent to his company, that there would be about
a million dollars transferred back to Grace Pang that would
quote be easy to track unless multiple companies were used. Ah,
(22:35):
don't forget. Set up your shell companies so we can
launder the money.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Now, if you're wondering, does this have anything to do
with those FBI raids for the Superintendent of Set Agency,
Alberto Carvallo. No, no, sorry, that's other fraud. That's gonna
be fraud involving aicontracts. But stay tuned, we'll tell you
more about how the LA Unified is used as a
big shell company to make public servants rich.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Quick sports update for you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
We knew this was happening, right The writing was on
the wall Laker Nation that the Lakers were not going
to survive a thunder series. Certainly not with the injuries
the Lakers have had down the stretch. Lebron carrying a
team at forty one years old. It just wasn't going
to be the Cinderella ending. That's hard on the knees.
But the question now becomes, what are the Lakers going
(23:37):
to do? Lebron's got to be out right forty one
years old.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Well, his comment from last night after the game, he
said he wants to recalibrate. I don't know what that means.
He wants to take time with his family. I doubt it.
But as for retirement, he says he does not know
what the future holds. No, so he's got this. This
will be what his third big decision thing that we're
(24:02):
going to set or whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Got Yeah, So I mean the Lakers. I loved the
story with the father son team. I say that as
somebody who's not a Laker fan. I'm sure that you
did not love that story if you're a Laker fan,
or at least a lost patience for it and the
commitment to it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
But what do you mean just oh that they were
forcing the issue of bringing Brownie onto cell tickets.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
But the Lakers are far from where they need to be,
So what does that mean for next season? I think
free agency starts in July. But there's a lot that
needs to be retooled with that team.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Isn't that just the danger of success? I mean, the
Lakers are an iconic team, probably top I don't know
five sports franchises. In the entire week, we get used
to the top of the mountain, don't you. Yeah, and
that you're gonna You're gonna have some dark times. Just
that's the nature of sports. And when you don't make it.
I mean, they made it to the playoff. I mean,
(25:00):
look at all those people in Buffalo. What has become
of them?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
They get drunk and they take leaps onto card tables
every weekend, you know what I mean? Because they saw
them on the image of a Bills Yeah, falling, They
saw the top of the mountain four times in a decade.
It was failed, and it failed capitalized, and now they
just drink to poisoning and uh and fall on tables.
(25:25):
So the Lakers are trying to avoid that.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Drink to poison. That's pretty funny, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
But look at the Dodgers, My god, are they leaving
runners stranded? Are they not capitalizing? What's going on? They
drop another one to the Giants.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Uh, that was easy to watch pressing at the plate.
He's forcing it. What's happened? Orl said something last Oral herscheizer,
that is I call him. Orl Oral said something last
night that was very for some reason. It it absolutely
struck the tuning fork with me. You can't swing your
way out of a of a slump. Yeah, and he's
(26:09):
show he was in a dry pat right now. He'll
get out of it. They all do. It's but and
there's for for a baseball player like that. He's trying everything.
I mean. They talked about him doing batting practice yesterday,
extra batting practice, which he doesn't ever do, I guess,
and he did it in the World Series and they said,
I wish I could tell you that it was like
(26:31):
he put on a clinic. But and then they show
him like popping balls up off of the off the
tortoise shell. It happens. It's just it's just one of
those things. But if you don't help me, now, I say,
f you.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Joe Bou.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Mookie Bets came back. Mookie Bets came back from his
oblique string and it was funny because every move he made,
they would go.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Don't, don't, don't bullet, Yeah, you're cringing constantly. That's the
worst when you see players like that. I felt that
way with Clayton Kershaw too, where I'm just like each
pitch like I don't know how old is Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Mookie Bets is thirty four. Oh, that's a guess. Let's
see here, thirty three. Yeah, he'll be thirty four in October.
He's still fine. Everything's fine. But the Dodgers did lose
to the Giants last night. They'll play again tonight, huge
Game five on the ice for the Ducks tonight. Yeah,
they're in Vegas. That series is tied at too too
and before we go for the.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Hour, Shannon parent on the YAH thing, Yeah you got it,

job of them saying exactly what's going on with the
tax and the laws and everything.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
So great job.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
You said it perfectly with the gas thing, we are screwed.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Did you go into the other round and record that
using one of your voices because you knew that I
was upset with the guy who told me to calm down?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Repeatdn't I think you did? I think that was you.
I think that was one of your characters.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
