eleven has joined us.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hi, how are you? I'm great, I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Life has changed, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Significantly since we last saw each other.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
I am officially a mother now, Gary, how does that feel?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And it feels weird.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I will say this because I feel like I've been
on at least part of the journey with you. Oh
you have so, because I remember you taking phone calls
and from doctors and while we were doing the show.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And it just so happened to be the and I've
been public about this. We have our baby, Sloan thanks
to IVF, five months old now just turned.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Five months old, so I can't believe it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Time does fly so through our IVF process.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I was literally working here the week that we had
what they call the transfer when we would see if
this actually worked. And I had to take a day
off and I told you, I said, you know what,
I can do the week, but I can't do this
particular day. And that was because we were getting baby
Sloan inside of me literally And the next day You're like,
(01:28):
are how you doing?
Speaker 5 (01:29):
In my head, I'm thinking, I don't know, I might
be pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So yeah, great ties to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
And now life, as you said, has changed significantly, all
for the better.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's great and it's been a fun. Listen.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
My wife and I have been paying very close attention
to your INTWI thank you. Because of that, There's something
to be said about remembering that. I mean, for us
it was twenty years ago, which is crazy, but but
remembering those feelings and that just the craziness of what's
(02:07):
what happens in those first few months.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Wild I was so unprepared, like grossly unprepared. I uh,
you know, kind of pride myself on preparation, whether it's
work or you know, in a relationship.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
But I was, you know, thought I was prepared. Little
did I know what it was like to.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Raise a little human My son's best friend also just
last week had a baby, and we've been texting back
and forth and he's kind of laughing at his best buddy,
thinking he has no idea what's coming and he doesn't
feel prepared.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And I said, and I happened.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I happened to see his best friend a few days
before that and kind of asked him about it, and
he's like.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I don't don't. I don't know what. I don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like, yeah, it's true. That's the way you're going to
feel for months. You'll never there's a point where you
just kind of give up. You can't get out in
front of anything.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No you try. You don't get enough sleep, No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You never feel healthy completely, Like it's just slow process
to get back to that. Sometimes sometimes daylight hurts your body, right. Yeah,
we were talking last night with my son about you know,
when he was born and uh and his buddy going
through the whole process of the sleepless nights and the
worry and the am I doing everything? Am I going
(03:23):
to break it? With all that stuff? And I told
him I we used to fall asleep. I used to
fall a sleep with him on my chest. Which they
tell you really not to do. You're not supposed to
sleep in the same bed with the baby, But the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Dos and don'ts, it's whatever works for you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're so hyper aware of that thing next to you.
I could not imagine anything hurting this child. So I
slept with him on my chest, and I would wake
up a few hours later and I would do this
thing where I, you know, put him in the crib
and then I would stretch like this and every cartilage
connection to bone would pop, like I've been sitting there
(03:58):
with this weight on my chest.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But how she like, you just hit the gym. She's
doing great. Yeah, she really is a milestone after milestone.
She it was so funny because we finally got her
to sleep through the nights, and then I ended maternity
leave and went back to work, and then she thought,
you know, it was like she played a joke on me.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh yeah, you thought I slept, Yeah, I full of you.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
So now this morning I was up with her at
two am and got her fed. And but now it's
it's not like consoling trying to console an inconsolable baby
when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Now she's old, enough where she either wants a cuddle
or she wants just a little more mama's milk. So it's, uh,
it's doable now. And I just I love it. It's
(04:42):
the biggest honor and privilege ever. And she's got a
little personality on her, she's all smiles, and she's so aware,
and just to see like her develop into an actual
little person and her little giggle and all of that,
it's just it's something to marvel.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But I love it. I love it. I love to
see it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean, you've been so happy in those pictures, not
that you'd post one where you're like, it's two.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Thirty in the morning, she won't go back down.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I know that I've wanted I know those images exist,
Oh they do, but I know that you wouldn't want
to post them.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
What do we do?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
How do we get her to stop cry?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
My gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's a it's a And the thing is as as
lonely or scary or overwhelming as it as it can
seem in anxiety inducing all of it.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
People have been doing this for.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Forever, forever, and they don't They didn't have access to
all that we have access to now.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
And all the gimmicks.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And we did try some crazy things with you know
these like high end bassinettes that rock your baby to sleep. Now,
that didn't I worked for a day or my grandma
had that. No, of course not. It's just they just
want your love and they're just a newborn. They're just
a newborn. Yeah, they just want the basics simple.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I did bring my pumps here today though. Awesome. That'll
be fun.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, stay tuned for that, folks. I might have some
if you need some extra.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I don't know you need any more creamer in your coffee?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, all right, So there is a lot to get
to today. We are going to talk about what in
the world is going on with vaccines, not just in Florida,
where they've made a significant announcement about vaccine mandates, but
here in California along with Washington and Oregon and the vaccine.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
That whole Western Alliance.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, they did so well during COVID, not that they're
going to do this with vaccines now. Terror and the skies,
swamp watches coming up, Tech Talk, strange site, full show,
full show it all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So thank you for coming to me.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Oh it's fun to be here again.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Braving this this very awkward world of radio. Oh you know,
I love it. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Marla's in for Shannon. We will continue here in just
a moment.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Martl Taaz is in for Shannon today. Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It's good to be back.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The Cabazon couple accused in the death of their seven
month old do back in court today for raiment on
murder charges.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
We'll talk more about it next hour. More fires.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
By the way, the lightning caused fires up in the
Central Valley and in the Sierra. The TCU September Lightning
Complex complex of fires has now burned about fourteen thousand
acres as of this morning. They say they have about
fifteen percent containment. Another fire that started also on Tuesday
because the lightning strikes blew up in size overnight. It's
(07:43):
the Salt fourteen to two fire. I like the names lately,
the Salt Fortune.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I know you like the fire Dragon, Bravo Dragon in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Eactly, I heard, Yeah, they burned about thirteen That one
has burned about thirteen thy five hundred acres, about seven
percent contained. That's not in the Cerira. That's actually on
the west side of I five, kind of burning in
some rolling hills there between Kolinga and Abana.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well, the complex fire that you brought up the TCU,
that's about twenty two wildfires, I think, hence the complex.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And that's in a gold Rush country Chinese Camp. Chinese Camp.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, I said, a lot of those historic buildings apparently
got completely wiped out, which is just terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said China Camp yesterday, and I missed China Camp
is a I guess it's a state park up in
Marine County.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Chinese Camp is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That little gold Rush era settlement from up in the
hills there. Well, yesterday there was an announcement. Doctor Joseph
Fladappo is the Florida Surgeon General, and he made an
announcement that he wants to do away with vaccine mandates
in the state of Florida.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the Governor,
is going to be working to end and all vaccine
mandates in Slorida lack.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All of them, all of.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Them now the raucous applause. He was aut of private
school when he was making the announcement and went on
to say.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Every last one of them, every last one of them,
is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery. Who am
I as a government or anyone else? Or who am
I is a man standing here now to tell you
what you should put in your body?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And he didn't get into the he didn't draw a
lot of the correlations once he dropped that bomb that he,
you know, equated this to slavery. But you can make
the assumption he's talking about, you know, a bodily autonomy,
what you do with your body, and what the government
can tell.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You you can do or have to do with your body.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Polling, though consistently shows most Americans overwhelmingly trust vaccines and
support vaccine mandates for kids. There is a poll done
by Harvard th Chan School of Public Health. This was
done last month and found that seventy nine percent of
Americans are in favor of vaccine mandates for kids. Now,
now that Florida has gone this way, though, what will
(10:11):
happen to vaccine rates? There's the concernive measles and so
on and so forth. But just because there's not a mandate,
does this mean that parents won't get their kids mandated
that you just don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well, and that's I think one of the misconceptions about
what the entire story about vaccines is. In this case,
he's saying he doesn't want the government to tell a
parent that they've got to have their kids vaccinated for
insert name of disease before they can go to school.
That's what he's saying. He's not restricting access to vaccines.
(10:44):
He's not even suggesting that doctors turned down parents who
want to get their kids vaccinated or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
The option is still there, right.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And I think that that's one of the that's one
of the assumptions that people make, is that without a mandate,
no one's going to get their kid vaccinated. I still
think there's enough people who believe in the science of
vaccines and the effectiveness of vaccines that they would continue
to do that. I mean, I'll use RFK as an
(11:12):
example because he happens to be very high profile as
being questioned on his kids are vaccinated, his kids are vaccinated,
and the argument and he said this so far this morning,
he said, to paint me as anti vaccine is not truthful.
He believes in the effectiveness of vaccines. What he's saying
is there should be a more robust, independent look at
(11:35):
the effectiveness of vaccines, the potential side effects vaccines, et cetera,
and not one that is constantly funded by the big
pharmaceutical companies who do stand to gain profits when they
say nice things about vaccines.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And that's what Trump said on truth Social earlier this week,
basically when he said, Hey, I'm the one behind Operation
warp Speed.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I thought this was a good thing.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Was an let's figure this out meantime the dismantling of
the CDC, which is why we're seeing RFK Junior, you know,
quote getting attacked by Democratic senators during this contentious hearing
right now.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Doctor Oz is one of those guys who is now
overseeing Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare for the administration. He has come
out in support of Florida's move to end vaccine mandates.
He said, this is a decision that a physician and
a patient should be making to gather. Parents love their
kids more than anybody else could love that kid, So
(12:33):
why not let the parents play an active role in this?
This is okay, I'm assuming you and your husband have
had these conversations.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Oh, I was just going to bring that up, the
fact that we got a list from our pediatrician of
the vaccines for Sloan and you know, I go online
and I look at you know, what's required by schools,
what's not. Why do we have to give this to
our daughter. We've had that conversation with our pediatrician. From
(13:03):
his perspective, it's there's a reason why chicken pox. You
don't see chicken pox anymore. Right when we were younger,
I remember getting the chicken pox.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I remember third grade intentionally getting I didn't go out
and get it, but my parents were like, hey, your
sister's got it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You're going to get it, and we're not going to
do anything to protect you from it.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
There you go, Okay, So there is our pediatricians point was,
they do work and there's a reason why we don't
see this anymore in our offices. So you know, you
can or cannot give your daughter this. Here's why I
would say you should. And I will say that our
pediatrician leans more politically, I would say more right, and
(13:44):
he obviously he says, I've been in this business a
pediatrician exactly now that I say that he's been a
pediatrician for decades, you know, forty years, And again his
whole premise was just there's a reason these work. I
would never, you know, put this into your kid's body
(14:04):
if I thought it would be unhealthy for them.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
And his kids are vaccinated.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Did you're a pediatrician give you the impression that if
you had pushed back? If nothing else to say, I
just want to spread these out. I don't want to
do something oh one hundred percent. Oh yeah, let me
be clear, He said, you don't have to. Oh yeah,
he's one hundred percent one of those. And I, you know,
we appreciated that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So John and I had our conversations at home amongst us,
and we decided, you know, what was best for our daughter.
But it is daunting to see the list and why
so many of these weren't given in the eighties, weren't
given in the seventies, And he had an answer for that.
So it's it's just it should be one of those
decisions now that I'm a parent, that I can solidly
(14:44):
solidly say that I need to make this decision for
my child. Right, you're not taking care of my child.
I'm taking care of my child. This is a decision
that should lie with the parent.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, that's going on in Florida, where again they're moving
to end the mandates for schools when it comes to vaccines. California, Washington,
and Oregon are pushing back on the vaccine issue with
the West Coast Health Alliance. We'll tell you what that
is and how that's gonna work when you come back.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Reminder that coming up on Monday, September twenty second, our
next news and Brus We're going to be at BJ's
Restaurant in brew House. They're in West Covina on Eastland
Center Drive at that Eastland shopping Center. A lot of parking,
lot of space. We're gonna have a great time. Yes,
it is a Monday, but it's also a Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Well hello, why do I never you know? Quote fill
in on those days? Can't you have a third wheel?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're more than welcome, You are more than welcome to
see what is at least fun Chief Chargers for a week.
One matchup is tomorrow night. It's gonna be right here
on KFI. Kickoff in South Brazil just after five o'clock
our time tomorrow night, which reminds me, since Shannon is
in Brazil, our Gas Fantasy four play is coming back
(16:09):
tomorrow as well. Chance to pick up some gas swag
by picking the winners of four NFL games this weekend.
We'll be able to talk to her tomorrow about the
lengthy plane flight to get down to sell Paula, but
also a quick preview of tomorrow night's game.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
What is it about ten hours?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's twelve, she said to get down there, and I
think it'll be about fourteen to get back.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
She in basic economy. It's Charter flighth of course, silly me.
But she's not a three hundred pound lineman, so she
doesn't get the big seat. She gets one of the
she gets one of the skinny seats.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, but she's also not a three hundred pound lineman,
but she's already Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Bureau of Labor Statistics tomorrow comes out with the jobs report,
first time since President Trump fired the BLS leader. Economists
are predicting some more softening or ekening, depending on your word,
in the labor market for August. Data released today from paying,
(17:08):
a pay roll processing firm ADP showed that payrolls increased
by just fifty four thousand in August.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That would be lower than the forecast for economists.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, I'm seeing here.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
US companies announced just about fifteen hundred new jobs in August,
lowest for the month since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Layoff surge thirty nine percent.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Now, this, by the way, was shared by our governor,
and he writes Donald Trump's America.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Have you checked out his social media of late you
have a newsome. Yes, it was about two weeks ago
when all of this started.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
The all caps fake Trump kind of you know, yeah,
playing the game.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It just it turned me off it.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
There were moments so unbelo believable to look at almost
it's not real that I thought it was funny, like, oh, someone,
someone is really creative and has really honed in on
the language and the tone and tenor of the way
Donald Trump uses social media.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
But then I thought, well, clearly that's not Gavin Newsom,
that's some comedy writer that he's paid to sit on
his social media team. But also, what good is that
for the state of California or for the state of
the country. It doesn't do anything to advance the discourse.
It's just it's bullying a bully. It doesn't it's not
(18:38):
to me. And I know maybe i'm hot holding politicians
to a higher standard than they deserve, but it's unbecoming
of your position as governor of the great state of California.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I mean to do two wrongs make a right.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well, and see that's the other thing is people will say, well,
Donald Trump doesn't the time. Yeah, I don't like it
when he does it either. How many times do I
have to say that? I think that what he said
as on social media does not help most of the time.
But well, speaking of Gavenusom, he along with Tina Kotec,
governor of Oregon, and Bob Ferguson, governor of Washington State,
have announced the creation of the West Coast Health Alliance.
(19:15):
They said it will provide science based recommendations at a
time when the top public health agency CDC is reversing
some of its long standing guidance when it comes to vaccines.
We already talked about the issue in Florida where they're
pushing to get vaccine mandates off of the books in
Florida and leave those decisions up to parents and doctors.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
As opposed to school districts.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
The three governors put out a joint statement and said
that Trump's mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is
the direct assault on the health and safety of the
American people. That the CDC has become a political tool
that increasingly pedals ideology instead of science, ideology that will
lead to severe health concent sequences. So they these states
(20:04):
said that the focus of this health alliance California, Oregon,
Washington will be on providing evidence based recommendations about who
should receive immunizations and ensure the public has access to
credible information about the safety and the efficacy of vaccines, which,
by the way, that sentence could be taken from the
(20:25):
policy plans that RFK Junior has for Health and Human services,
where they want evidence based recommendations, not mandates, but recommendations
about who should receive certain immunizations, and then make sure
that the public has access to the credible scientific data
about all of this.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
To me, the screams of too many cooks in the kitchen,
Which guidelines, which recommendations?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Who were listening to that?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So Maria Cantwell, one of the senators from Washington State,
in this hearing today in front of where RFK Junior
is in front of one of the Senate committees. She
did say that the main I may have misunderstood this,
but the main information broker for this group, this West
Coast Health Alliance, would be the University of Washington.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I don't know how real.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean, they obviously have a medical school, they have
a great reputation in terms of their scientific endeavors.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I just don't know if that's enough.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I mean having it from one source right right, it's
part of the problem we have in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean public trust as it relates to politicians health officials,
I would say is not the highest, especially when we're
seeing what's happening on Capitol Hill right now. So I
think it just confuses the issue of this when I
heard about this yesterday with the West Coast Health Alliance,
is my.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Goodness, And if this echoes what we saw in the
first days of COVID, where the West Coast stays came together,
They're going to come up with their own plans, They're
going to do their own things.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
They're going to make sure that they have their own
access to data and efficacy when it comes to COVID
mitigation factors. There's no place in the United States, at
least no region that had worse what's the word impacts
on our school kids than the Western United States. After
(22:27):
we've closed down schools longer than anybody else did. Despite
the fact that Gavin Newsom's kids got to go back
to school, we've had learning loss in this portion of
the country more so than any other portion of the country.
And because the West Host West Coast Health Alliance or
whatever they called it at the time, was pushing for
(22:47):
protecting children.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's a noble cause.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Protecting kids is a noble cause, but you also have
to be able to make sure that they don't lose
education while you're doing.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And now there's an issue with LAUSD of course, Los
Angeles Unified School district saying in some sort of a
lawsuit over the pandemic shutdown and kids staying at home
that it was discriminatory.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I can't roll my eyes harder.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Hi, night you.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Jess was going to make sure that our listeners knew
that your eyes just rolled back.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Terror in the skies. We'll lighten it up a little
bit when we come back.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Marlet Tees has joined us.
Speaker 2 (23:35):

Do we have some non nice ones?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Not yet? Okay, I like listening to those too, but
it's early. It's early.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I know that, Amy. Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't kill you,
makes you stronger. Hey, got tough skin in this business.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
About l Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
So let me just make a quick clarification about LAUSD
and you know, discriminatory policies during the pandemic. So there
was a class action lawsuit filed against LAUSD.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
These parents said that this is.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Over the remote learning during the pandemic, saying that it
was discriminatory. Well, they just announced a settlement, So LAUSD
settled this will benefit more than two hundred and fifty
thousand students.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
In LA Unified.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
They're now going to be eligible for extra tutoring, summer school,
and other academic help. And the settlement, of course, in
terms of the money, has not been announced, but the
plaintiffs basically argued that the district's policies discriminated against low income, Black, Latino,
Dissay and English learner learner students because they were less
(25:04):
likely to have access to what they needed to once
they were sent home and told to stay home. So
they're declaring this a victory the parents.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, it's time for terror in the skies.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Like zero ni or you are a glare for take off?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Roger, get off my plane, Roderick Rodgers?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
What's our victory?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Victor? Enough is enough?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I have had to put these multi plane snakes on
this money prod. It's Gary and Shannon's.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Terror in the skies.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
On k FOK, Well, we start with a British tourist
arrested for punching a fellow passenger Turkish. The Turkey bound
plane from the UK was forced to land in Greece.
After this, thirty five year old guy began attacking a
forty one year old Turkish passenger.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
They had to go undergo a medical check up after
the attack.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He'd been charged with interference of transportation, intentional injury, disobedience
of orders, and a public disturbance. They didn't explain why
it was that they started fighting in the front.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
No, but this just comes a week or just weeks
after a Turkish Airlines flight on its way to San
Francisco was diverted to Chicago after a passenger reportedly died
during the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Two United airplanes oops experience unrelated is and it's within
twenty four hours. One a Denver bound plane clipped the
tail of a United another United plane while pushing back
from the gate nowhere.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Injuries were reported.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And then hours later a separate United flight to Baltimore
had to come back after passengers and crew noticed a
burning odor.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
That's not that's never good.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That's never good, a burning odor.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And then finally, Delta is going to be pulling out
of their Midland Airport and Midland Odessa, Texas, which is
way out in the west side of Texas, kind of
near that corner with New Mexico.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, I mean they say Basically, the flights average just
sixty percent capacity, So at this point they're just going
to pull out all together.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They said.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
While the cutting back from Midland, Delta is going to
expand their services into Austin, which is pretty far away.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
But have we heard from Shannon any terror in the
sky when she flew to South Palo.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We'll have to check. We'll have to check tomorrow. Those
flights are usually pretty sane. I mean, it's everybody's there
on the same team.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It's a chary fight, but you never know fights. You know,
no one's getting drunk.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Up playing, No helmet's flying, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
The sad story out of the Inland Empire that Cabazon
couple accused in the death of their seven month old.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
They're in court today. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
We'll also talk about former Vice President Harris getting local
police protection to make up for the loss of Secret
Service protection. All of that is still to come. Marla's
in for Shannon today. We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 3 (27:57):

eleven has joined us.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hi, how are you? I'm great, I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Life has changed, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Significantly since we last saw each other.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
I am officially a mother now, Gary, how does that feel?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And it feels weird.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I will say this because I feel like I've been
on at least part of the journey with you. Oh
you have so, because I remember you taking phone calls
and from doctors and while we were doing the show.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And it just so happened to be the and I've
been public about this. We have our baby, Sloan thanks
to IVF, five months old now just turned.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Five months old, so I can't believe it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Time does fly so through our IVF process.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I was literally working here the week that we had
what they call the transfer when we would see if
this actually worked. And I had to take a day
off and I told you, I said, you know what,
I can do the week, but I can't do this
particular day. And that was because we were getting baby
Sloan inside of me literally And the next day You're like,
(01:28):
are how you doing?
Speaker 5 (01:29):
In my head, I'm thinking, I don't know, I might
be pregnant.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I don't know, I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
So yeah, great ties to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
And now life, as you said, has changed significantly, all
for the better.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's great and it's been a fun. Listen.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
My wife and I have been paying very close attention
to your INTWI thank you. Because of that, There's something
to be said about remembering that. I mean, for us
it was twenty years ago, which is crazy, but but
remembering those feelings and that just the craziness of what's
(02:07):
what happens in those first few months.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Wild I was so unprepared, like grossly unprepared. I uh,
you know, kind of pride myself on preparation, whether it's
work or you know, in a relationship.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
But I was, you know, thought I was prepared. Little
did I know what it was like to.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Raise a little human My son's best friend also just
last week had a baby, and we've been texting back
and forth and he's kind of laughing at his best buddy,
thinking he has no idea what's coming and he doesn't
feel prepared.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And I said, and I happened.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I happened to see his best friend a few days
before that and kind of asked him about it, and
he's like.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I don't don't. I don't know what. I don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like, yeah, it's true. That's the way you're going to
feel for months. You'll never there's a point where you
just kind of give up. You can't get out in
front of anything.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No you try. You don't get enough sleep, No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You never feel healthy completely, Like it's just slow process
to get back to that. Sometimes sometimes daylight hurts your body, right. Yeah,
we were talking last night with my son about you know,
when he was born and uh and his buddy going
through the whole process of the sleepless nights and the
worry and the am I doing everything? Am I going
(03:23):
to break it? With all that stuff? And I told
him I we used to fall asleep. I used to
fall a sleep with him on my chest. Which they
tell you really not to do. You're not supposed to
sleep in the same bed with the baby, But the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Dos and don'ts, it's whatever works for you.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You're so hyper aware of that thing next to you.
I could not imagine anything hurting this child. So I
slept with him on my chest, and I would wake
up a few hours later and I would do this
thing where I, you know, put him in the crib
and then I would stretch like this and every cartilage
connection to bone would pop, like I've been sitting there
(03:58):
with this weight on my chest.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But how she like, you just hit the gym. She's
doing great. Yeah, she really is a milestone after milestone.
She it was so funny because we finally got her
to sleep through the nights, and then I ended maternity
leave and went back to work, and then she thought,
you know, it was like she played a joke on me.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Oh yeah, you thought I slept, Yeah, I full of you.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
So now this morning I was up with her at
two am and got her fed. And but now it's
it's not like consoling trying to console an inconsolable baby
when she wakes up in the middle of the night.
Now she's old, enough where she either wants a cuddle
or she wants just a little more mama's milk. So it's, uh,
it's doable now. And I just I love it. It's
(04:42):
the biggest honor and privilege ever. And she's got a
little personality on her, she's all smiles, and she's so aware,
and just to see like her develop into an actual
little person and her little giggle and all of that,
it's just it's something to marvel.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
But I love it. I love it. I love to
see it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I mean, you've been so happy in those pictures, not
that you'd post one where you're like, it's two.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Thirty in the morning, she won't go back down.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I know that I've wanted I know those images exist,
Oh they do, but I know that you wouldn't want
to post them.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
What do we do?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
How do we get her to stop cry?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
My gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's a it's a And the thing is as as
lonely or scary or overwhelming as it as it can
seem in anxiety inducing all of it.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
People have been doing this for.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Forever, forever, and they don't They didn't have access to
all that we have access to now.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
And all the gimmicks.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And we did try some crazy things with you know
these like high end bassinettes that rock your baby to sleep. Now,
that didn't I worked for a day or my grandma
had that. No, of course not. It's just they just
want your love and they're just a newborn. They're just
a newborn. Yeah, they just want the basics simple.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I did bring my pumps here today though. Awesome. That'll
be fun.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, stay tuned for that, folks. I might have some
if you need some extra.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I don't know you need any more creamer in your coffee?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, all right, So there is a lot to get
to today. We are going to talk about what in
the world is going on with vaccines, not just in Florida,
where they've made a significant announcement about vaccine mandates, but
here in California along with Washington and Oregon and the vaccine.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
That whole Western Alliance.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, they did so well during COVID, not that they're
going to do this with vaccines now. Terror and the skies,
swamp watches coming up, Tech Talk, strange site, full show,
full show it all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
So thank you for coming to me.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Oh it's fun to be here again.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Braving this this very awkward world of radio. Oh you know,
I love it. I'm here for it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Marla's in for Shannon. We will continue here in just
a moment.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Martl Taaz is in for Shannon today. Welcome back.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
It's good to be back.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The Cabazon couple accused in the death of their seven
month old do back in court today for raiment on
murder charges.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
We'll talk more about it next hour. More fires.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
By the way, the lightning caused fires up in the
Central Valley and in the Sierra. The TCU September Lightning
Complex complex of fires has now burned about fourteen thousand
acres as of this morning. They say they have about
fifteen percent containment. Another fire that started also on Tuesday
because the lightning strikes blew up in size overnight. It's
(07:43):
the Salt fourteen to two fire. I like the names lately,
the Salt Fortune.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I know you like the fire Dragon, Bravo Dragon in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Eactly, I heard, Yeah, they burned about thirteen That one
has burned about thirteen thy five hundred acres, about seven
percent contained. That's not in the Cerira. That's actually on
the west side of I five, kind of burning in
some rolling hills there between Kolinga and Abana.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well, the complex fire that you brought up the TCU,
that's about twenty two wildfires, I think, hence the complex.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
And that's in a gold Rush country Chinese Camp. Chinese Camp.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, I said, a lot of those historic buildings apparently
got completely wiped out, which is just terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I said China Camp yesterday, and I missed China Camp
is a I guess it's a state park up in
Marine County.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Chinese Camp is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That little gold Rush era settlement from up in the
hills there. Well, yesterday there was an announcement. Doctor Joseph
Fladappo is the Florida Surgeon General, and he made an
announcement that he wants to do away with vaccine mandates
in the state of Florida.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
The Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the Governor,
is going to be working to end and all vaccine
mandates in Slorida lack.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All of them, all of.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Them now the raucous applause. He was aut of private
school when he was making the announcement and went on
to say.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Every last one of them, every last one of them,
is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery. Who am
I as a government or anyone else? Or who am
I is a man standing here now to tell you
what you should put in your body?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And he didn't get into the he didn't draw a
lot of the correlations once he dropped that bomb that he,
you know, equated this to slavery. But you can make
the assumption he's talking about, you know, a bodily autonomy,
what you do with your body, and what the government
can tell.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You you can do or have to do with your body.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Polling, though consistently shows most Americans overwhelmingly trust vaccines and
support vaccine mandates for kids. There is a poll done
by Harvard th Chan School of Public Health. This was
done last month and found that seventy nine percent of
Americans are in favor of vaccine mandates for kids. Now,
now that Florida has gone this way, though, what will
(10:11):
happen to vaccine rates? There's the concernive measles and so
on and so forth. But just because there's not a mandate,
does this mean that parents won't get their kids mandated
that you just don't know yet.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well, and that's I think one of the misconceptions about
what the entire story about vaccines is. In this case,
he's saying he doesn't want the government to tell a
parent that they've got to have their kids vaccinated for
insert name of disease before they can go to school.
That's what he's saying. He's not restricting access to vaccines.
(10:44):
He's not even suggesting that doctors turned down parents who
want to get their kids vaccinated or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
The option is still there, right.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
And I think that that's one of the that's one
of the assumptions that people make, is that without a mandate,
no one's going to get their kid vaccinated. I still
think there's enough people who believe in the science of
vaccines and the effectiveness of vaccines that they would continue
to do that. I mean, I'll use RFK as an
(11:12):
example because he happens to be very high profile as
being questioned on his kids are vaccinated, his kids are vaccinated,
and the argument and he said this so far this morning,
he said, to paint me as anti vaccine is not truthful.
He believes in the effectiveness of vaccines. What he's saying
is there should be a more robust, independent look at
(11:35):
the effectiveness of vaccines, the potential side effects vaccines, et cetera,
and not one that is constantly funded by the big
pharmaceutical companies who do stand to gain profits when they
say nice things about vaccines.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And that's what Trump said on truth Social earlier this week,
basically when he said, Hey, I'm the one behind Operation
warp Speed.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
I thought this was a good thing.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Was an let's figure this out meantime the dismantling of
the CDC, which is why we're seeing RFK Junior, you know,
quote getting attacked by Democratic senators during this contentious hearing
right now.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Doctor Oz is one of those guys who is now
overseeing Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare for the administration. He has come
out in support of Florida's move to end vaccine mandates.
He said, this is a decision that a physician and
a patient should be making to gather. Parents love their
kids more than anybody else could love that kid, So
(12:33):
why not let the parents play an active role in this?
This is okay, I'm assuming you and your husband have
had these conversations.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Oh, I was just going to bring that up, the
fact that we got a list from our pediatrician of
the vaccines for Sloan and you know, I go online
and I look at you know, what's required by schools,
what's not. Why do we have to give this to
our daughter. We've had that conversation with our pediatrician. From
(13:03):
his perspective, it's there's a reason why chicken pox. You
don't see chicken pox anymore. Right when we were younger,
I remember getting the chicken pox.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I remember third grade intentionally getting I didn't go out
and get it, but my parents were like, hey, your
sister's got it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You're going to get it, and we're not going to
do anything to protect you from it.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
There you go, Okay, So there is our pediatricians point was,
they do work and there's a reason why we don't
see this anymore in our offices. So you know, you
can or cannot give your daughter this. Here's why I
would say you should. And I will say that our
pediatrician leans more politically, I would say more right, and
(13:44):
he obviously he says, I've been in this business a
pediatrician exactly now that I say that he's been a
pediatrician for decades, you know, forty years, And again his
whole premise was just there's a reason these work. I
would never, you know, put this into your kid's body
(14:04):
if I thought it would be unhealthy for them.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
And his kids are vaccinated.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Did you're a pediatrician give you the impression that if
you had pushed back? If nothing else to say, I
just want to spread these out. I don't want to
do something oh one hundred percent. Oh yeah, let me
be clear, He said, you don't have to. Oh yeah,
he's one hundred percent one of those. And I, you know,
we appreciated that.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So John and I had our conversations at home amongst us,
and we decided, you know, what was best for our daughter.
But it is daunting to see the list and why
so many of these weren't given in the eighties, weren't
given in the seventies, And he had an answer for that.
So it's it's just it should be one of those
decisions now that I'm a parent, that I can solidly
(14:44):
solidly say that I need to make this decision for
my child. Right, you're not taking care of my child.
I'm taking care of my child. This is a decision
that should lie with the parent.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, that's going on in Florida, where again they're moving
to end the mandates for schools when it comes to vaccines. California, Washington,
and Oregon are pushing back on the vaccine issue with
the West Coast Health Alliance. We'll tell you what that
is and how that's gonna work when you come back.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Reminder that coming up on Monday, September twenty second, our
next news and Brus We're going to be at BJ's
Restaurant in brew House. They're in West Covina on Eastland
Center Drive at that Eastland shopping Center. A lot of parking,
lot of space. We're gonna have a great time. Yes,
it is a Monday, but it's also a Monday.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Well hello, why do I never you know? Quote fill
in on those days? Can't you have a third wheel?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You're more than welcome, You are more than welcome to
see what is at least fun Chief Chargers for a week.
One matchup is tomorrow night. It's gonna be right here
on KFI. Kickoff in South Brazil just after five o'clock
our time tomorrow night, which reminds me, since Shannon is
in Brazil, our Gas Fantasy four play is coming back
(16:09):
tomorrow as well. Chance to pick up some gas swag
by picking the winners of four NFL games this weekend.
We'll be able to talk to her tomorrow about the
lengthy plane flight to get down to sell Paula, but
also a quick preview of tomorrow night's game.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
What is it about ten hours?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It's twelve, she said to get down there, and I
think it'll be about fourteen to get back.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
She in basic economy. It's Charter flighth of course, silly me.
But she's not a three hundred pound lineman, so she
doesn't get the big seat. She gets one of the
she gets one of the skinny seats.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, but she's also not a three hundred pound lineman,
but she's already Yeah, it's a good point.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Bureau of Labor Statistics tomorrow comes out with the jobs report,
first time since President Trump fired the BLS leader. Economists
are predicting some more softening or ekening, depending on your word,
in the labor market for August. Data released today from paying,
(17:08):
a pay roll processing firm ADP showed that payrolls increased
by just fifty four thousand in August.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That would be lower than the forecast for economists.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Yeah, I'm seeing here.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
US companies announced just about fifteen hundred new jobs in August,
lowest for the month since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Layoff surge thirty nine percent.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Now, this, by the way, was shared by our governor,
and he writes Donald Trump's America.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Have you checked out his social media of late you
have a newsome. Yes, it was about two weeks ago
when all of this started.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
The all caps fake Trump kind of you know, yeah,
playing the game.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It just it turned me off it.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
There were moments so unbelo believable to look at almost
it's not real that I thought it was funny, like, oh, someone,
someone is really creative and has really honed in on
the language and the tone and tenor of the way
Donald Trump uses social media.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
But then I thought, well, clearly that's not Gavin Newsom,
that's some comedy writer that he's paid to sit on
his social media team. But also, what good is that
for the state of California or for the state of
the country. It doesn't do anything to advance the discourse.
It's just it's bullying a bully. It doesn't it's not
(18:38):
to me. And I know maybe i'm hot holding politicians
to a higher standard than they deserve, but it's unbecoming
of your position as governor of the great state of California.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I mean to do two wrongs make a right.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Well, and see that's the other thing is people will say, well,
Donald Trump doesn't the time. Yeah, I don't like it
when he does it either. How many times do I
have to say that? I think that what he said
as on social media does not help most of the time.
But well, speaking of Gavenusom, he along with Tina Kotec,
governor of Oregon, and Bob Ferguson, governor of Washington State,
have announced the creation of the West Coast Health Alliance.
(19:15):
They said it will provide science based recommendations at a
time when the top public health agency CDC is reversing
some of its long standing guidance when it comes to vaccines.
We already talked about the issue in Florida where they're
pushing to get vaccine mandates off of the books in
Florida and leave those decisions up to parents and doctors.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
As opposed to school districts.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
The three governors put out a joint statement and said
that Trump's mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is
the direct assault on the health and safety of the
American people. That the CDC has become a political tool
that increasingly pedals ideology instead of science, ideology that will
lead to severe health concent sequences. So they these states
(20:04):
said that the focus of this health alliance California, Oregon,
Washington will be on providing evidence based recommendations about who
should receive immunizations and ensure the public has access to
credible information about the safety and the efficacy of vaccines, which,
by the way, that sentence could be taken from the
(20:25):
policy plans that RFK Junior has for Health and Human services,
where they want evidence based recommendations, not mandates, but recommendations
about who should receive certain immunizations, and then make sure
that the public has access to the credible scientific data
about all of this.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
To me, the screams of too many cooks in the kitchen,
Which guidelines, which recommendations?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Who were listening to that?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
So Maria Cantwell, one of the senators from Washington State,
in this hearing today in front of where RFK Junior
is in front of one of the Senate committees. She
did say that the main I may have misunderstood this,
but the main information broker for this group, this West
Coast Health Alliance, would be the University of Washington.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I don't know how real.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean, they obviously have a medical school, they have
a great reputation in terms of their scientific endeavors.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I just don't know if that's enough.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I mean having it from one source right right, it's
part of the problem we have in the first place.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I mean public trust as it relates to politicians health officials,
I would say is not the highest, especially when we're
seeing what's happening on Capitol Hill right now. So I
think it just confuses the issue of this when I
heard about this yesterday with the West Coast Health Alliance,
is my.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Goodness, And if this echoes what we saw in the
first days of COVID, where the West Coast stays came together,
They're going to come up with their own plans, They're
going to do their own things.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
They're going to make sure that they have their own
access to data and efficacy when it comes to COVID
mitigation factors. There's no place in the United States, at
least no region that had worse what's the word impacts
on our school kids than the Western United States. After
(22:27):
we've closed down schools longer than anybody else did. Despite
the fact that Gavin Newsom's kids got to go back
to school, we've had learning loss in this portion of
the country more so than any other portion of the country.
And because the West Host West Coast Health Alliance or
whatever they called it at the time, was pushing for
(22:47):
protecting children.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's a noble cause.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Protecting kids is a noble cause, but you also have
to be able to make sure that they don't lose
education while you're doing.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And now there's an issue with LAUSD of course, Los
Angeles Unified School district saying in some sort of a
lawsuit over the pandemic shutdown and kids staying at home
that it was discriminatory.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I can't roll my eyes harder.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Hi, night you.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Jess was going to make sure that our listeners knew
that your eyes just rolled back.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Terror in the skies. We'll lighten it up a little
bit when we come back.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Marlet Tees has joined us.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
She's in for Shannon Shannon's Out of Course in Brazil
for tomorrow night's football game Chiefs Chargers there in South Polo.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Hey, Marlo, welcome back to the airwaves if you were missed,
But big congratulations on your newborn. I can fill the
glow through the radio waves of how you're doing as
a mom, So congratulate to you. Good to hear you
back because you're really a good partner with Gary and
others on the air. So good luck, talk to you.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Thank you, Oh, thank you. That is very nice.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
People can be nice.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Do we have some non nice ones?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Not yet? Okay, I like listening to those too, but
it's early. It's early.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I know that, Amy. Yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't kill you,
makes you stronger. Hey, got tough skin in this business.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
About l Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
So let me just make a quick clarification about LAUSD
and you know, discriminatory policies during the pandemic. So there
was a class action lawsuit filed against LAUSD.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
These parents said that this is.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Over the remote learning during the pandemic, saying that it
was discriminatory. Well, they just announced a settlement, So LAUSD
settled this will benefit more than two hundred and fifty
thousand students.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
In LA Unified.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
They're now going to be eligible for extra tutoring, summer school,
and other academic help. And the settlement, of course, in
terms of the money, has not been announced, but the
plaintiffs basically argued that the district's policies discriminated against low income, Black, Latino,
Dissay and English learner learner students because they were less
(25:04):
likely to have access to what they needed to once
they were sent home and told to stay home. So
they're declaring this a victory the parents.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, it's time for terror in the skies.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Like zero ni or you are a glare for take off?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Roger, get off my plane, Roderick Rodgers?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
What's our victory?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Victor? Enough is enough?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I have had to put these multi plane snakes on
this money prod. It's Gary and Shannon's.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Terror in the skies.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
On k FOK, Well, we start with a British tourist
arrested for punching a fellow passenger Turkish. The Turkey bound
plane from the UK was forced to land in Greece.
After this, thirty five year old guy began attacking a
forty one year old Turkish passenger.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
They had to go undergo a medical check up after
the attack.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He'd been charged with interference of transportation, intentional injury, disobedience
of orders, and a public disturbance. They didn't explain why
it was that they started fighting in the front.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
No, but this just comes a week or just weeks
after a Turkish Airlines flight on its way to San
Francisco was diverted to Chicago after a passenger reportedly died
during the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Two United airplanes oops experience unrelated is and it's within
twenty four hours. One a Denver bound plane clipped the
tail of a United another United plane while pushing back
from the gate nowhere.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Injuries were reported.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
And then hours later a separate United flight to Baltimore
had to come back after passengers and crew noticed a
burning odor.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
That's not that's never good.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
That's never good, a burning odor.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And then finally, Delta is going to be pulling out
of their Midland Airport and Midland Odessa, Texas, which is
way out in the west side of Texas, kind of
near that corner with New Mexico.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, I mean they say Basically, the flights average just
sixty percent capacity, So at this point they're just going
to pull out all together.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They said.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
While the cutting back from Midland, Delta is going to
expand their services into Austin, which is pretty far away.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
But have we heard from Shannon any terror in the
sky when she flew to South Palo.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We'll have to check. We'll have to check tomorrow. Those
flights are usually pretty sane. I mean, it's everybody's there
on the same team.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It's a chary fight, but you never know fights. You know,
no one's getting drunk.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Up playing, No helmet's flying, all right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
The sad story out of the Inland Empire that Cabazon
couple accused in the death of their seven month old.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
They're in court today. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
We'll also talk about former Vice President Harris getting local
police protection to make up for the loss of Secret
Service protection. All of that is still to come. Marla's
in for Shannon today. We'll be back right after this.
