Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
You know we'll get through this long.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's like it's like a boy scout's knot.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
He put in here using wire. Yeah, I'm using straightened
out paper clips.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
He doesn't remember.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
You didn't do this.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You swear to God. You swear on Jesus. Yeah, no,
you don't swear on Jesus.
Speaker 5 (00:27):
Now Jesus is upset for several reasons.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Uh, Gary Shannon KFI AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. On It's Friday, and I think it's
the twenty fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I was excited when I woke up today and I
thought it's Friday.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
We have a big Friday show to do.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or it may have been the four shots of espresso,
one of which I got all over myself.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
One of which is on the front of your sweet shirt.
So only three shots?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
What's our flashback Friday year eighty eight eighty eight? I
have something to tell you right out of the gate.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Is this more about your coffee spill?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That okay, we're not gonna let it have more oxygen
in our lives?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Is it good news? Is it?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:05):
It was something that we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I remember how we talked about the movies nominated for
Best Picture for the Oscars, and my parents used to
have a thing where they'd watch all of them, you know,
back when they were the movies that weren't just catering
to whatever the popular topic was in America today. Yes,
and when they were just good and they weren't esoteric,
and they weren't art for the sake of being art
(01:27):
and Hollywood just doing hand stuff with these with each other,
when they were like just good blockbuster movies, right.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Anyway, So I was like, you know what, I'm going
to try and watch more of the movies. I had
seen one on the Oscars list, being The Substance. So
I started a Nora last night. Okay, I am to
be honest. I am about halfway through. It's about a
two hour film. I've watched about an hour of it
in a little bit and change. I see where it's headed.
(01:58):
I see the storyline. It's it's trash, it's pornography. It
is not exciting dialogue, the plot's not exciting. The acting
is not incredible. I don't know why it's up for
Best Picture unless and then in the next half of
the movie if there's a one eighty, but it's not
going to erase the first hour, which is just watching
(02:21):
a young girl strip naked and have sex with people,
like it's just it.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I'm not the morality police, obviously, but it's awful.
I mean, the fact that this is up for Best Picture.
Why if it was maybe really well acted, the dialogue,
the plot, anything, it was different, it was artistic something.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And it's none of those things.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, maybe I'm way off base, and let me know
if I am, but I have not seen the magic
in that over the first hour.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't know anything about it other than what you've
just said. I mean to know the basic plot.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I mean the synopsis I read yesterday was a stripper
meets a rich guy at the strip club, and it's
this princess tale, but not like Princess Diaries type stuff.
It's grittier. It's darker, dirtier, right, But I haven't found
a redeeming situation. I see a love story developing, but
(03:21):
other than that, it does not get rid of all
of the things that I mean, if you're worried about
the gore and the substance, wait till you get you
feel gross watching a twenty two year old dance naked
and have sex for money?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
What made you stop watching?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I went to sleep, okay, so I wanted No, it
wasn't that I was enjoying it. I'm just waiting for
the they're there, like, I'll finish it to find out
maybe I'm wrong, Maybe there'll be some sort of redeeming
thing that will erase the first hour of just absolute
smut and vulgarity.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I know, down for that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well, I like it when it's people that aren't doing
it for money, you know, like this the Moviesaid Deborah
and I watch that have a little sex in it.
It's usually a love it is. It's more of a
love thing. This is just this is the sad love mad.
It's sad.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
We have a big Friday show.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You're right, we haven't done a big Friday show for
a while, so that means, of course we're going to
do our nine news nugget. You need to know what
you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.
Late in the show, you can always leave us a
talkback message. Just hit that little microphone button while you're
listening on the iHeart app and let us know what
you learned. This week, President Trump is on his way
out to California. He's stopping in North Carolina. First, he's
(04:42):
going to be talking with first responders and some of
the victims of Hurricane Helene after it made its way through.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then La This is going to be to obviously
tour the fire damage. Gavin Newsom says he's excited to
meet him and provide whatever resources he needs.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
There's okay, we have a lot to talk about when
it comes to those two because supposedly Gavin Newsom was
one of the people who invited President Trump back before
he was president, invited him to come to Caloruna.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I'm sensing a trap.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm sensing Trump going to Houston and playing the Texans
like I'm sensing there's Gavin's got something up his sleeve.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, Gavin has said he never heard back from the
president's official team, but that he is in communication with
people who are close to Trump now. I don't know
if he's still dropping dimes to Kimberly Gilfoyle, and that
he considers her in the circles or not because she's not.
But he has said he's going to meet President Trump
(05:43):
at the base of the staircase of Air Force One
when he lands this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
They haven't spoken since twenty twenty. I believe Trump and
Gavin Newsom oh ps. The big headline this hour is
that Trump proposes getting rid of FEMA the States to
take care of themselves.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
We'll have all the latest coming out.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
We'll do that when we come back. Also your chance
at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Just on the other side, you're listening to Gary and
Shannon on demand from kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeart Rate.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I mean, Pete Carroll was great.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh great coach.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
He's infectious, he's got a great personality. I think he's
wonderful at what he did. But it's it's time to go.
It's done. And the Raiders trying to breathe life into that.
I mean, it's with your seventy four year old head
incess bride stuff to me.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's also the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Just the brand that is the Raiders. Yeah, go for
a younger aggressive I mean John Gruden's style coach right, right, right,
Pete Carroll's seventy four.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, but he's got more energy than a lot of
forty year old and that's that's true.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
But still, I mean, I think you're right. The heyday
was was a while ago. The Senate voted yesterday.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We told you to advance thenomination of Pete Hegseth to
be Trump's Secretary of Defense. That was a fifty one
to forty nine vote on a procedural measure to end debate.
They are expected to vote in the entire Senate for
his confirmation, but it will be close. That is expected
to come late today. The world's largest iceberg, a wall
(07:23):
of ice the size of Rhode Island, is headed towards
a remote island off of Antarctica that's home to millions
of penguins and seals.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They called this a megaburg.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's a trillion ton slab of ice they're saying could
slam into South Georgia Island and either get stuck or
maybe guided around it by the currents. If it gets stuck,
they said it could make it hard for penguin parents
to feed their babies, and that some penguin babies could
even start.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
We've got to go there and feed the baby penguin.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I don't know how to get to South Georgia Island.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, we can start to try and research that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It also seems like the iceberg itself is large enough.
You could probably land on the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sure, And then we could bring little baby fish for
the baby penguins, feed them like this.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We could bring them some delta smelt.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
We don't have any leftew, very hard to find them.
Speaker 3 (08:15):

the president and the governor, et cetera, we have a

Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's just into the Gary and Shannon show. So President
Trump is scheduled to arrive at LAX about two thirty
this afternoon ahead of his visit to the Pacific Palisades
burn area.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
That's going to be fun traffic time, is it not?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Stay away from West LA this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I have fun on that Friday evening commute.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You can guarantee that I would. I would stay away
for days.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Didn't we do a didn't we do TV over there
one day when the president or vice president was in town?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Never again?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, for a couple of reasons. Three twenty I don't
think I ever aged into television, but I've certainly aged out.
At three twenty five, Trump and the First Lady will
take a tour of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood along with
the LA Fire Department officials and three homeowners affected by
(09:42):
the fire. He's going to go to a briefing at
four h five in the Palisades. That meeting will include
Mayor Karen Bass, eight members of California's congressional delegation, Catherine Barger,
and some other people that you don't know or I
don't know either, just executives with the water and Energy people.
(10:03):
Gavin Newsome, this is a note not on the list
of attendees at either of the President's events. So if
he does meet with him, it's going to be that
tarmac photo op meeting where you've got to believe it
is scripted to the t in terms of body language,
in terms of hand movements, in terms of facial expressions,
(10:24):
all of it is going to be coyographed.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Because this on which Gavin, because.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
This is Gavin's photo op that he's going to use
to run for president.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Trumps scheduled to leave Lax shortly before six pm en
route to Las Vegas, which means he's got to get
to Lax by six pm.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Again, don't go.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
If you live in West La move I would move
early afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I think they helicopter him. They do.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But still the airspace, all of it, the traffic, it's
a mess.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It's just going to be a mess.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
So speaking of just do you want to hear from
Gavin First or Trump?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Because pick your point, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So Gavin first, talking specifically, he was asked yesterday about
the two and a half billion dollars the state has
approved for some of the initial wild wildfire relief. And
the question was about his relationship with Trump and what's
going to happen today, knowing that he wasn't actually part
of that guest list, if you.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Will, I communicate with a lot of folks around him,
folks that have his ear and influence folks. So I
don't want this is a side show a lot of
this stuff, but I know it's the show that's probably
the focus of a little bit too much tomorrow, when
all I care about is what we can do together, Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And I hope that that is absolutely true. Now here's
the other part that you were mentioning about FEMA. In
the interview that Trump did with Hannity on Fox this week,
he discussed FEMA and what it has become or had
to become under the Biden administration.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly,
because I'd rather see this. States take care of their
own problems, you don't need, and then the federal government
can help them out with the money. The FEMA is
getting in the way of everything.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
He said, we're looking at the same concept of FEMA.
The concept.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
When North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it.
When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it.
That the states take care of it. And he says
to have a group of people come in from an
area they don't even know where they're going in order
to solve immediately a problem is something that never worked
for me.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Isn't that what goes on now though?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Isn't that the status quo that the states handle the
initial response, local government's, county, regional, state, and then FEMA
does come in with that federal money and kind of
comes in secondhand.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, and does the bigger things that the state may
not be able to do. It coordinates sources from outside
the state that they could bring in that the federal
government would have the control over.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There are certain states that can handle their own business California, Florida, Texas, well,
Texas here and there, but there are a number of
that need FEMA because they're just not big enough to
have that kind of infrastructure to respond to a disaster.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, yeah, and listen.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Part of what he's doing is retribution for the allegations
that FEMA was politicized under the Biden administration. That's what
he is fighting back against. He wants to at least
try to unpoliticize it, which in some cases can be
seen as him politicizing it for his side. Listen, it's
(13:30):
FEMA is a is an agency that is absolutely necessary
and has proven itself time and time again.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Is there a way to tighten it up.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And is there a way for maybe FEMA to simply
write checks for the state, because to his point, the
state understands what they need. The state and local governments
understand what they need more so than some federal bureaucrat
based somewhere in a suburb of Virginia. Absolutely, but FEMA
is not just solely an organization that has employees that
(14:03):
live in the DC area. FEMA is all over the country.
I think we're in District nine here. I think that's
where we've been getting these email press releases from. So
when we come back, we'll talk about the what President
Trump has said he wants from California. He didn't necessarily
(14:24):
say he was tying it to federal relief funds, but
he's been very clear about what he wants from the
state of California. And once again, the top of the
map where the water is apparently flows down to the
bottom of the map where the water isn't at least
according in his brain.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
According to his brain.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Gary and Shannon will continue it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So I'm not going out on a limb here thinking
that maybe you guys didn't have dessert after of course
we did, oh about it was dessert.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Spirit Airlines is shaken up.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's in flight policies, new dress codes that they've unveiled.
You cannot wear revealing clothing, you cannot display offensive tattoos,
and this is part of their contract of carriage. So
Spirit Airlines is making it official that when you book
your tickets, you click the little box that says you
(15:26):
agree to their contract of carriage. So don't be surprised
when you get kicked off your next flight from Spirit.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right, Well, California is going to spend two point
five billion to help the area recover from the wildfires
with this relief package signed yesterday, two point five billion
for the States emergency disaster response efforts, evacuations, shelter, things
like that, removing household hazardous waste, which has been kind
(15:52):
of one of those things that this seems to have
been procrastinated upon.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, there's a everything. Infrastructure of every kind has been
affected by these fires, will continue to be affected. If
we see more wins coming in. There's a chance that
with the rain coming in, we will see some mud
slides and that could cause even more problems.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Steven Keller is the Pacific market president with Verizon, joins
us now about how Verizon plans to help get things
back up and running.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Steven, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Let's discuss what kind of things that companies like yours
can do in the aftermath of something like we've seen
the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Yeah, thank you very much. So first and foremost, you know,
on behalf of the company, we are deeply, deeply committed
to the Los Angeles area. You know, my team and
I we live, work and play in Los Angeles. So
this is more than just personal. You know, when you
think about Southern California to home to Verizon employees, So
when disaster strikes, it's personal. So we support the community's
(16:57):
hardest hit. We're doing so knowing that we're helping our friends, family,
and neighbors as well, so we're waving charges for the
hardest hit areas. Connectivity shouldn't be a luxury and a crisis,
which is why we're waiving call, text and data fees
for customers in California's hardest hit counties. We're also offering
relief in the nine area stores closest to the impacted areas.
(17:19):
We're providing free charging, Wi Fi, bottle water. Because when
our communities need a helping hand, we always show up.
We've also partnered with the Red Cross. I myself have
personally been to the American Red Cross shelter in Pasadena
near Altadena. We're teaming up with the Red Cross. We're
bringing free Wi Fi and charging stations to multiple shelters,
ensuring no one is isolated when they need help the most,
(17:40):
and that matters. I've seen it personally. We've also got
a WEK set up in the Malibu First Command Center.
WEX stands for Wireless Emergency Communications Center. It's a lifeline
for families. We provide free device charging, Wi Fi access
to our network. It's one more way we're making sure
that people stay stay in touch during this crisis. And
we all know that having connectivity is really where it's that.
(18:02):
And finally, I'll just tell you I'm very proud to
reiterate that our one million dollar donation reflects our deep
roots in these communities. We've made a one million dollar
pledge split into five hundred thousand dollars to the LA
Fire Department Foundation for our essential firefighting tools and another
five hundred thousand to the Red Cross to support recovery
efforts right here at home in Los Angeles. So our
(18:24):
commitment has always been to first responders, our commitments to
the community, our commitments to our friends' family, neighbors.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Steven, awesome, good to hear. Nice to see a companies
stepping up again. Verizon free charging and Wi Fi all
local retail store locations if you're looking for a Wi
Fi spot where you don't have to spend any money.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Steven, thanks for your time.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Thank you very much, you too appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Steven Keller, there again, Pacific Market President for Verizon. This
issue of money coming from the federal government is hopefully
not tied to conditions, but President Trump has been talking
about the potential for there to be some things that
he'd like to see in the state of California, and
(19:08):
he added a new one today in terms of what
he would like to see for the state of California,
maybe as a condition for federal moneys coming in. Is
it it's not ponies, It's not free pony rides.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Not free pony rides.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Is it food for the baby penguins?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Also? No, okay, there are not a lot of penguins
in California. I mean there are. Something.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Doesn't mean we can't do our part to go to
George Island or or Georgia whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Excellent point.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I am very intrigued by Trump's call to unseal or
unredact the files about the JFKRFK and m l K
assassination files. A lot in there, a lot of people
worried about this, people that work under the umbrella of
places called the CIA and the FBI. Trump's of a
(20:04):
certain age. My dad was the same way. A little
obsessed with the assassinations, a little obsessed with what the
government wasn't telling us, a little obsessed about was he
the lone gunman on the grassy Knoll? And what role
did the CIA play. Oh, he was in the book depository.
You mean was there was he doing in Mexico City?
(20:25):
What did he act alone? How was the FBI involved
with JFK and all the tapes surrounding JFK's romance an
affair with Marilyn Monroe in her effort to expose him.
The FBI was entrenched in that whole affair, and the
CIA was entrenched and the FBI as well in MLK
and his affairs. It's just dirty, dirty, It's a anora,
(20:48):
it's a nourra up in those files.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
President Trump is live in Swanna Noah, North Carolina. He's
holding a news conference with some of the victims of
Hurricane Helene, who have said that the federal government hasn't
done enough to help them out.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Before he left, No, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
When he landed in North Carolina this morning at the airport,
he was asked several questions about what this trip is
going to be again North Carolina, California, and the Nevada
throughout the day today, and he discussed a few things.
First of all, about what he's going to do here
in California.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
We're gonna do a good job in California, that is
a disaster like I don't know if we've ever seen
anything like it. Frankly, they say the biggest in the
history of California. I think has anything bigger than that
happened in the whole country. Ever, it looks like I
don't want to say what it looks like, but you
know what I'm going to say. It looks like something
hit it. And we won't talk about what hited. But
(21:42):
it is a bad, bad situation, and I guess I'm
gonna beet with some government officials, but I mean much
more importantly, and in California, just to revert to it
for a second, millions of gallons of water are waiting
to be poured down through already the half pipes that
(22:03):
are already built. I mean they've been up for forty years.
And about twenty years ago they turned off the water.
And it's the water that comes from the Pacific northwest.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Some of it comes out.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Of Canada and it floats there and it probably has
flowed there for a million years, and they turned it
off and they routed out to the Pacific. And in
the meantime, you don't have water in the hydrants, you
don't have water in the sprinkler systems. It's the craziest
thing I've ever seen. And everyone's trying to figure out
why aren't they turning it back. They say it's the
(22:34):
delta's smelt that say fish. But I find that hard
to believe. But we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Okay, Can somebody get Doug Bergham on the phone. He's
going to be the Department of Interior secretary and explain
how water, how water works in the Western United States,
just for a moment. Just get somebody in there so
he'll stop saying that water comes from the Pacific Northwest
(23:00):
through halfpipes. I I don't even know. Listen, I don't
even know what he's talking about it anymore. And it's
it's the it's the ridiculous thing that no one close
enough to him has the ability to say to him,
you're misspeaking when.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You do this.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We have gotten a lot of heat about this, which
is weird. People are dying on the Trump is right
about the water hill.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And the valve, and the valve, the valve that apparently
exists somewhere in central Oregon.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm happy to have the conversation about moving water from
northern California and the snowpack and the whole bit down
to southern California. I'm happy to have the water reclamation talk,
the reservoir.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Talk, what what share farmers should get where. We're happy
to have all that. Absolutely the realistic talk, dealing in reality.
And it's not us saying that Trump's a bad thing.
It's it's just that, show me, show me the math
on that, and I'm happy to to dive into it.
But there has been no I don't I don't know
what valve he's speaking of, nobody to water experts. I've
(24:01):
read ad nauseum articles from takes on people who live
and breathe.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Water, water and culture.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
They are completely flummoxed.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So he had said in that interview with Fox that
one of the things he's thinking of is withholding federal
funds until California gets since water policy.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
To a position that he wants to see. He added
something to that today, I want to.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
See two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID so that
the people have a chance to vote, and I want
to see the water be released and come down into
Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things.
After that, I will be the greatest president that California
has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well there, I.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Want the water to come down and come down to
Los Angeles and also go out to all the farmland
that's barren and dry. You know, they have land that
they say is the equivalent of the land in Iowa,
which is about as good as there is anywhere on earth.
The problem is it's artificial because they artificially stop the
water from going onto the land. So I want two things.
(25:05):
I want voter ID for the people of California. They
all want it right now. You don't have voter ID.
People want to have voter identification, You want to have
proof of citizenship, ideally have one day voting. But I
just want voter ideas to start, and I want the
water to be released. And they're going to get a
(25:26):
lot of help from the US.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Okay, So he didn't actually in those comments tie voter
ID to whether or not we get federal management federal
relief money for fires, but it was an I don't
know where the ID. I agree with him we should
have voter ID, but I don't know why it came
up in this context. So he is on his way
to California A little bit later, Like I said, he's
(25:49):
in North Carolina right now and hearing from and holding
a news conference with some of the members of Swanna Noah,
North Carolina, little town that was ripped apart by Hurricane
Helene few months ago.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
We'll revisit some of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
This will continue, and like we said, there's going to
be some traffic nightmare issues coming later this afternoon, especially
on the west side, since he is going to be
landing at Lax later.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Today coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It was possibly the first great televised event in our
country's history.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
It wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It was the assassination, the end of innocence, the assassination
of JFK. Maybe one of the reasons why Trump loves
it so much, or loves the idea of unredacting the
remaining files that have not been released about the assassination
of JFK, RFK and MLK Junior. Because he loves television
and he loves the drama, and he even said, this
(26:43):
is going to be a big one, Isn't it?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I was excited when I woke up today and I
thought it's Friday.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
We have a big Friday show to do.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Or it may have been the four shots of espresso,
one of which I got all over myself.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
One of which is on the front of your sweet shirt.
So only three shots?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
What's our flashback Friday year eighty eight eighty eight? I
have something to tell you right out of the gate.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Is this more about your coffee spill?
Speaker 6 (00:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That okay, we're not gonna let it have more oxygen
in our lives?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Is it good news? Is it?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Well?
Speaker 5 (01:05):
It was something that we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I remember how we talked about the movies nominated for
Best Picture for the Oscars, and my parents used to
have a thing where they'd watch all of them, you know,
back when they were the movies that weren't just catering
to whatever the popular topic was in America today. Yes,
and when they were just good and they weren't esoteric,
and they weren't art for the sake of being art
(01:27):
and Hollywood just doing hand stuff with these with each other,
when they were like just good blockbuster movies, right.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Anyway, So I was like, you know what, I'm going
to try and watch more of the movies. I had
seen one on the Oscars list, being The Substance. So
I started a Nora last night. Okay, I am to
be honest. I am about halfway through. It's about a
two hour film. I've watched about an hour of it
in a little bit and change. I see where it's headed.
(01:58):
I see the storyline. It's it's trash, it's pornography. It
is not exciting dialogue, the plot's not exciting. The acting
is not incredible. I don't know why it's up for
Best Picture unless and then in the next half of
the movie if there's a one eighty, but it's not
going to erase the first hour, which is just watching
(02:21):
a young girl strip naked and have sex with people,
like it's just it.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I'm not the morality police, obviously, but it's awful.
I mean, the fact that this is up for Best Picture.
Why if it was maybe really well acted, the dialogue,
the plot, anything, it was different, it was artistic something.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And it's none of those things.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, maybe I'm way off base, and let me know
if I am, but I have not seen the magic
in that over the first hour.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't know anything about it other than what you've
just said. I mean to know the basic plot.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I mean the synopsis I read yesterday was a stripper
meets a rich guy at the strip club, and it's
this princess tale, but not like Princess Diaries type stuff.
It's grittier. It's darker, dirtier, right, But I haven't found
a redeeming situation. I see a love story developing, but
(03:21):
other than that, it does not get rid of all
of the things that I mean, if you're worried about
the gore and the substance, wait till you get you
feel gross watching a twenty two year old dance naked
and have sex for money?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
What made you stop watching?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I went to sleep, okay, so I wanted No, it
wasn't that I was enjoying it. I'm just waiting for
the they're there, like, I'll finish it to find out
maybe I'm wrong, Maybe there'll be some sort of redeeming
thing that will erase the first hour of just absolute
smut and vulgarity.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I know, down for that.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Well, I like it when it's people that aren't doing
it for money, you know, like this the Moviesaid Deborah
and I watch that have a little sex in it.
It's usually a love it is. It's more of a
love thing. This is just this is the sad love mad.
It's sad.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
We have a big Friday show.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
You're right, we haven't done a big Friday show for
a while, so that means, of course we're going to
do our nine news nugget. You need to know what
you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.
Late in the show, you can always leave us a
talkback message. Just hit that little microphone button while you're
listening on the iHeart app and let us know what
you learned. This week, President Trump is on his way
out to California. He's stopping in North Carolina. First, he's
(04:42):
going to be talking with first responders and some of
the victims of Hurricane Helene after it made its way through.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then La This is going to be to obviously
tour the fire damage. Gavin Newsom says he's excited to
meet him and provide whatever resources he needs.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
There's okay, we have a lot to talk about when
it comes to those two because supposedly Gavin Newsom was
one of the people who invited President Trump back before
he was president, invited him to come to Caloruna.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I'm sensing a trap.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm sensing Trump going to Houston and playing the Texans
like I'm sensing there's Gavin's got something up his sleeve.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, Gavin has said he never heard back from the
president's official team, but that he is in communication with
people who are close to Trump now. I don't know
if he's still dropping dimes to Kimberly Gilfoyle, and that
he considers her in the circles or not because she's not.
But he has said he's going to meet President Trump
(05:43):
at the base of the staircase of Air Force One
when he lands this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
They haven't spoken since twenty twenty. I believe Trump and
Gavin Newsom oh ps. The big headline this hour is
that Trump proposes getting rid of FEMA the States to
take care of themselves.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
We'll have all the latest coming out.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
We'll do that when we come back. Also your chance
at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Just on the other side, you're listening to Gary and
Shannon on demand from kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on
the iHeart Rate.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I mean, Pete Carroll was great.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Oh great coach.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
He's infectious, he's got a great personality. I think he's
wonderful at what he did. But it's it's time to go.
It's done. And the Raiders trying to breathe life into that.
I mean, it's with your seventy four year old head
incess bride stuff to me.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's also the.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Just the brand that is the Raiders. Yeah, go for
a younger aggressive I mean John Gruden's style coach right, right, right,
Pete Carroll's seventy four.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, but he's got more energy than a lot of
forty year old and that's that's true.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
But still, I mean, I think you're right. The heyday
was was a while ago. The Senate voted yesterday.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We told you to advance thenomination of Pete Hegseth to
be Trump's Secretary of Defense. That was a fifty one
to forty nine vote on a procedural measure to end debate.
They are expected to vote in the entire Senate for
his confirmation, but it will be close. That is expected
to come late today. The world's largest iceberg, a wall
(07:23):
of ice the size of Rhode Island, is headed towards
a remote island off of Antarctica that's home to millions
of penguins and seals.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They called this a megaburg.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's a trillion ton slab of ice they're saying could
slam into South Georgia Island and either get stuck or
maybe guided around it by the currents. If it gets stuck,
they said it could make it hard for penguin parents
to feed their babies, and that some penguin babies could
even start.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
We've got to go there and feed the baby penguin.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I don't know how to get to South Georgia Island.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well, we can start to try and research that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It also seems like the iceberg itself is large enough.
You could probably land on the iceberg.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Sure, And then we could bring little baby fish for
the baby penguins, feed them like this.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
We could bring them some delta smelt.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
We don't have any leftew, very hard to find them.
Speaker 3 (08:15):

the president and the governor, et cetera, we have a

Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's just into the Gary and Shannon show. So President
Trump is scheduled to arrive at LAX about two thirty
this afternoon ahead of his visit to the Pacific Palisades
burn area.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
That's going to be fun traffic time, is it not?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Stay away from West LA this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I have fun on that Friday evening commute.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You can guarantee that I would. I would stay away
for days.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Didn't we do a didn't we do TV over there
one day when the president or vice president was in town?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Never again?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Well, for a couple of reasons. Three twenty I don't
think I ever aged into television, but I've certainly aged out.
At three twenty five, Trump and the First Lady will
take a tour of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood along with
the LA Fire Department officials and three homeowners affected by
(09:42):
the fire. He's going to go to a briefing at
four h five in the Palisades. That meeting will include
Mayor Karen Bass, eight members of California's congressional delegation, Catherine Barger,
and some other people that you don't know or I
don't know either, just executives with the water and Energy people.
(10:03):
Gavin Newsome, this is a note not on the list
of attendees at either of the President's events. So if
he does meet with him, it's going to be that
tarmac photo op meeting where you've got to believe it
is scripted to the t in terms of body language,
in terms of hand movements, in terms of facial expressions,
(10:24):
all of it is going to be coyographed.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Because this on which Gavin, because.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
This is Gavin's photo op that he's going to use
to run for president.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Trumps scheduled to leave Lax shortly before six pm en
route to Las Vegas, which means he's got to get
to Lax by six pm.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Again, don't go.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
If you live in West La move I would move
early afternoon.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I think they helicopter him. They do.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But still the airspace, all of it, the traffic, it's
a mess.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It's just going to be a mess.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
So speaking of just do you want to hear from
Gavin First or Trump?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Because pick your point, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
So Gavin first, talking specifically, he was asked yesterday about
the two and a half billion dollars the state has
approved for some of the initial wild wildfire relief. And
the question was about his relationship with Trump and what's
going to happen today, knowing that he wasn't actually part
of that guest list, if you.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Will, I communicate with a lot of folks around him,
folks that have his ear and influence folks. So I
don't want this is a side show a lot of
this stuff, but I know it's the show that's probably
the focus of a little bit too much tomorrow, when
all I care about is what we can do together, Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And I hope that that is absolutely true. Now here's
the other part that you were mentioning about FEMA. In
the interview that Trump did with Hannity on Fox this week,
he discussed FEMA and what it has become or had
to become under the Biden administration.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly,
because I'd rather see this. States take care of their
own problems, you don't need, and then the federal government
can help them out with the money. The FEMA is
getting in the way of everything.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
He said, we're looking at the same concept of FEMA.
The concept.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
When North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it.
When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it.
That the states take care of it. And he says
to have a group of people come in from an
area they don't even know where they're going in order
to solve immediately a problem is something that never worked
for me.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Isn't that what goes on now though?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Isn't that the status quo that the states handle the
initial response, local government's, county, regional, state, and then FEMA
does come in with that federal money and kind of
comes in secondhand.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, and does the bigger things that the state may
not be able to do. It coordinates sources from outside
the state that they could bring in that the federal
government would have the control over.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There are certain states that can handle their own business California, Florida, Texas, well,
Texas here and there, but there are a number of
that need FEMA because they're just not big enough to
have that kind of infrastructure to respond to a disaster.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, yeah, and listen.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Part of what he's doing is retribution for the allegations
that FEMA was politicized under the Biden administration. That's what
he is fighting back against. He wants to at least
try to unpoliticize it, which in some cases can be
seen as him politicizing it for his side. Listen, it's
(13:30):
FEMA is a is an agency that is absolutely necessary
and has proven itself time and time again.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Is there a way to tighten it up.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
And is there a way for maybe FEMA to simply
write checks for the state, because to his point, the
state understands what they need. The state and local governments
understand what they need more so than some federal bureaucrat
based somewhere in a suburb of Virginia. Absolutely, but FEMA
is not just solely an organization that has employees that
(14:03):
live in the DC area. FEMA is all over the country.
I think we're in District nine here. I think that's
where we've been getting these email press releases from. So
when we come back, we'll talk about the what President
Trump has said he wants from California. He didn't necessarily
(14:24):
say he was tying it to federal relief funds, but
he's been very clear about what he wants from the
state of California. And once again, the top of the
map where the water is apparently flows down to the
bottom of the map where the water isn't at least
according in his brain.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
According to his brain.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Gary and Shannon will continue it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So I'm not going out on a limb here thinking
that maybe you guys didn't have dessert after of course
we did, oh about it was dessert.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Spirit Airlines is shaken up.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
It's in flight policies, new dress codes that they've unveiled.
You cannot wear revealing clothing, you cannot display offensive tattoos,
and this is part of their contract of carriage. So
Spirit Airlines is making it official that when you book
your tickets, you click the little box that says you
(15:26):
agree to their contract of carriage. So don't be surprised
when you get kicked off your next flight from Spirit.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right, Well, California is going to spend two point
five billion to help the area recover from the wildfires
with this relief package signed yesterday, two point five billion
for the States emergency disaster response efforts, evacuations, shelter, things
like that, removing household hazardous waste, which has been kind
(15:52):
of one of those things that this seems to have
been procrastinated upon.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, there's a everything. Infrastructure of every kind has been
affected by these fires, will continue to be affected. If
we see more wins coming in. There's a chance that
with the rain coming in, we will see some mud
slides and that could cause even more problems.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Steven Keller is the Pacific market president with Verizon, joins
us now about how Verizon plans to help get things
back up and running.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Steven, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Let's discuss what kind of things that companies like yours
can do in the aftermath of something like we've seen
the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Yeah, thank you very much. So first and foremost, you know,
on behalf of the company, we are deeply, deeply committed
to the Los Angeles area. You know, my team and
I we live, work and play in Los Angeles. So
this is more than just personal. You know, when you
think about Southern California to home to Verizon employees, So
when disaster strikes, it's personal. So we support the community's
(16:57):
hardest hit. We're doing so knowing that we're helping our friends, family,
and neighbors as well, so we're waving charges for the
hardest hit areas. Connectivity shouldn't be a luxury and a crisis,
which is why we're waiving call, text and data fees
for customers in California's hardest hit counties. We're also offering
relief in the nine area stores closest to the impacted areas.
(17:19):
We're providing free charging, Wi Fi, bottle water. Because when
our communities need a helping hand, we always show up.
We've also partnered with the Red Cross. I myself have
personally been to the American Red Cross shelter in Pasadena
near Altadena. We're teaming up with the Red Cross. We're
bringing free Wi Fi and charging stations to multiple shelters,
ensuring no one is isolated when they need help the most,
(17:40):
and that matters. I've seen it personally. We've also got
a WEK set up in the Malibu First Command Center.
WEX stands for Wireless Emergency Communications Center. It's a lifeline
for families. We provide free device charging, Wi Fi access
to our network. It's one more way we're making sure
that people stay stay in touch during this crisis. And
we all know that having connectivity is really where it's that.
(18:02):
And finally, I'll just tell you I'm very proud to
reiterate that our one million dollar donation reflects our deep
roots in these communities. We've made a one million dollar
pledge split into five hundred thousand dollars to the LA
Fire Department Foundation for our essential firefighting tools and another
five hundred thousand to the Red Cross to support recovery
efforts right here at home in Los Angeles. So our
(18:24):
commitment has always been to first responders, our commitments to
the community, our commitments to our friends' family, neighbors.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Steven, awesome, good to hear. Nice to see a companies
stepping up again. Verizon free charging and Wi Fi all
local retail store locations if you're looking for a Wi
Fi spot where you don't have to spend any money.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Steven, thanks for your time.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Thank you very much, you too appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Steven Keller, there again, Pacific Market President for Verizon. This
issue of money coming from the federal government is hopefully
not tied to conditions, but President Trump has been talking
about the potential for there to be some things that
he'd like to see in the state of California, and
(19:08):
he added a new one today in terms of what
he would like to see for the state of California,
maybe as a condition for federal moneys coming in. Is
it it's not ponies, It's not free pony rides.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Not free pony rides.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Is it food for the baby penguins?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Also? No, okay, there are not a lot of penguins
in California. I mean there are. Something.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Doesn't mean we can't do our part to go to
George Island or or Georgia whatever.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Excellent point.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I am very intrigued by Trump's call to unseal or
unredact the files about the JFKRFK and m l K
assassination files. A lot in there, a lot of people
worried about this, people that work under the umbrella of
places called the CIA and the FBI. Trump's of a
(20:04):
certain age. My dad was the same way. A little
obsessed with the assassinations, a little obsessed with what the
government wasn't telling us, a little obsessed about was he
the lone gunman on the grassy Knoll? And what role
did the CIA play. Oh, he was in the book depository.
You mean was there was he doing in Mexico City?
(20:25):
What did he act alone? How was the FBI involved
with JFK and all the tapes surrounding JFK's romance an
affair with Marilyn Monroe in her effort to expose him.
The FBI was entrenched in that whole affair, and the
CIA was entrenched and the FBI as well in MLK
and his affairs. It's just dirty, dirty, It's a anora,
(20:48):
it's a nourra up in those files.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
President Trump is live in Swanna Noah, North Carolina. He's
holding a news conference with some of the victims of
Hurricane Helene, who have said that the federal government hasn't
done enough to help them out.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Before he left, No, I take that back.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
When he landed in North Carolina this morning at the airport,
he was asked several questions about what this trip is
going to be again North Carolina, California, and the Nevada
throughout the day today, and he discussed a few things.
First of all, about what he's going to do here
in California.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
We're gonna do a good job in California, that is
a disaster like I don't know if we've ever seen
anything like it. Frankly, they say the biggest in the
history of California. I think has anything bigger than that
happened in the whole country. Ever, it looks like I
don't want to say what it looks like, but you
know what I'm going to say. It looks like something
hit it. And we won't talk about what hited. But
(21:42):
it is a bad, bad situation, and I guess I'm
gonna beet with some government officials, but I mean much
more importantly, and in California, just to revert to it
for a second, millions of gallons of water are waiting
to be poured down through already the half pipes that
(22:03):
are already built. I mean they've been up for forty years.
And about twenty years ago they turned off the water.
And it's the water that comes from the Pacific northwest.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Some of it comes out.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Of Canada and it floats there and it probably has
flowed there for a million years, and they turned it
off and they routed out to the Pacific. And in
the meantime, you don't have water in the hydrants, you
don't have water in the sprinkler systems. It's the craziest
thing I've ever seen. And everyone's trying to figure out
why aren't they turning it back. They say it's the
(22:34):
delta's smelt that say fish. But I find that hard
to believe. But we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Okay, Can somebody get Doug Bergham on the phone. He's
going to be the Department of Interior secretary and explain
how water, how water works in the Western United States,
just for a moment. Just get somebody in there so
he'll stop saying that water comes from the Pacific Northwest
(23:00):
through halfpipes. I I don't even know. Listen, I don't
even know what he's talking about it anymore. And it's
it's the it's the ridiculous thing that no one close
enough to him has the ability to say to him,
you're misspeaking when.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
You do this.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We have gotten a lot of heat about this, which
is weird. People are dying on the Trump is right
about the water hill.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And the valve, and the valve, the valve that apparently
exists somewhere in central Oregon.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm happy to have the conversation about moving water from
northern California and the snowpack and the whole bit down
to southern California. I'm happy to have the water reclamation talk,
the reservoir.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Talk, what what share farmers should get where. We're happy
to have all that. Absolutely the realistic talk, dealing in reality.
And it's not us saying that Trump's a bad thing.
It's it's just that, show me, show me the math
on that, and I'm happy to to dive into it.
But there has been no I don't I don't know
what valve he's speaking of, nobody to water experts. I've
(24:01):
read ad nauseum articles from takes on people who live
and breathe.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Water, water and culture.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
They are completely flummoxed.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So he had said in that interview with Fox that
one of the things he's thinking of is withholding federal
funds until California gets since water policy.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
To a position that he wants to see. He added
something to that today, I want to.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
See two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID so that
the people have a chance to vote, and I want
to see the water be released and come down into
Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things.
After that, I will be the greatest president that California
has ever seen.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well there, I.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Want the water to come down and come down to
Los Angeles and also go out to all the farmland
that's barren and dry. You know, they have land that
they say is the equivalent of the land in Iowa,
which is about as good as there is anywhere on earth.
The problem is it's artificial because they artificially stop the
water from going onto the land. So I want two things.
(25:05):
I want voter ID for the people of California. They
all want it right now. You don't have voter ID.
People want to have voter identification, You want to have
proof of citizenship, ideally have one day voting. But I
just want voter ideas to start, and I want the
water to be released. And they're going to get a
(25:26):
lot of help from the US.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Okay, So he didn't actually in those comments tie voter
ID to whether or not we get federal management federal
relief money for fires, but it was an I don't
know where the ID. I agree with him we should
have voter ID, but I don't know why it came
up in this context. So he is on his way
to California A little bit later, Like I said, he's
(25:49):
in North Carolina right now and hearing from and holding
a news conference with some of the members of Swanna Noah,
North Carolina, little town that was ripped apart by Hurricane
Helene few months ago.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
We'll revisit some of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
This will continue, and like we said, there's going to
be some traffic nightmare issues coming later this afternoon, especially
on the west side, since he is going to be
landing at Lax later.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Today coming up next.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It was possibly the first great televised event in our
country's history.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
It wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It was the assassination, the end of innocence, the assassination
of JFK. Maybe one of the reasons why Trump loves
it so much, or loves the idea of unredacting the
remaining files that have not been released about the assassination
of JFK, RFK and MLK Junior. Because he loves television
and he loves the drama, and he even said, this
(26:43):
is going to be a big one, Isn't it?
