Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Shannon's out of town, out of the country.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Specifically, she's getting ready for tomorrow night's Chargers game. They're
hosting the Chiefs down in salth Paulo, Brazil. The NFL
season itself starts tonight, Cowboys visiting the Eagles in Philly
for the first first game of the season. Angels beat
the Royals yesterday four to three. They'll play again. Four
to forty is the first pitch. Dodgers got shut out
by the Pirates yesterday, lost to second in a row.
(00:34):
Three to nothing was the score. They will play again
in Pittsburgh, first pitches at three point forty today. You
can listen to all the Dodgers games on AM five
seventy LA Sports live from the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth,
then stream all the games in HD on that iheartradiopp
used the keyword AM five seventy LA Sports. When we
get into swamp Watch at the top of next hour.
(00:54):
We'll do at least a little bit of a recap
of what RFK Junior has been saying on Capitol Hill
he's being grilled by senators there, I believe, from the
Finance Committee about all things CDC and vaccines, and it's
gotten pretty contentious at times.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So we'll get into some of that.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But also I love the difference in programming. By the way,
so CNN right.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Now, of course has live of RFK Junior amid quote
CDC chaos, and then Fox News has Malania Trump live
an AI education meeting.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
At the in Swampwatch.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We'll also talk about these two interesting aspects of what
Gavin Newsom is doing, Gavin Newsom, the candidate, Gavin, not
governor Gavenusom, the candidate Gavin Newsom, and how he's being
received outside of California.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Interesting. There is a big difference.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
This Cabazon couple, accused in the death of their seven
month old toddler, do back in court today for arraignment
on murder charges, among other things. I think they have
an They were both charged with filing false police reports.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Also they are and this is one of those stories
that just rips your heart out, makes your stomach hurt.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Of course, we've been following it at Fox eleven.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Gigi Grassiettes on it today on Fox eleven. This couple,
Jake Harrow thirty two Rebecca Harrow forty one, arrested last
month after they did file that police report saying falsely
that their son was kidnapped.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
They alleged that she was beaten in a parking lot.
Was it a big lots, big five, big five, big five?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And she doesn't remember she was attacked, baby was taken.
There was a search for baby Emmanuel, who's just seven
months old, and come to find out now that wasn't
the case. This is what authority say that they presume
that poor baby Emmanuel is dead. There was images of
(02:59):
Jake Harrow, the dad, with investigators out in Moreno Valley
in a field searching for the baby's body. He has
still not been found. This was all started on August
twenty sixth oh no, that was their initial court appearance.
Pardon me, so it was earlier in the month. So
it's been a while since the first reports of baby
(03:23):
Emmanuel's missing. So it's just absolutely horrendous. And what makes
us worth is Horrow has already on his record for
child cruelty.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
He was found guilty of that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
He was looking at the potential for Mike Hester and
the DA in Riverside County came out and laid this
out very clearly last week in a news conference. Jake
Harrow had faced up to six years in prison after
he beat his ten week old daughter ten weeks at
the time, daughter Carolina, so badly she is now bedridden
for life because of the abuse at the hands of
(04:00):
the father.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Judge let him off the.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hook with probation and a work release program in counseling.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And that this there's a New York Post. Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
When the New York Post starts paying attention to cases
like this, it rises to a certain level. And one
of the things that they point out in the in
their article about this.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Case was.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
He was given zero prison time despite felony child abuse.
The judge in the case made that decision over the
protests of the prosecutors who said he should he should
send again. The potential was for six years and he
(04:43):
got off with zero time behind bars. About two thirds
of felons in California do not see one day in prison.
Two thirds of felons. This argument that somehow the criminal
justice system is weighted against a certain group of people,
(05:05):
or a certain color of people, or a certain income
level of people, the idea that you could have felons
and just over thirty percent of them ever see a
single day in prison. I'm not talking about misdemeanors. I'm
not talking about low level crimes. These are felonies that
(05:27):
these people are convicted of.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Even so, I mean, it gets worse when you think
about his rap sheet.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Harrow.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He was arrested and charged last year with a legal
possession of a loaded firearm, as well as other probation violations.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
That case was never resolved.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
His ex wife filed a domestic violence restraining order against
him with a request to protect that couple son, their son.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I mean, the list goes on and on.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm curious to see the reports that come out of
the courtroom today because when these two are arranged, the
chances are we're going to see some more information from
prosecutors in their arraignment documents, and any more information that
they might have more specifics about how the baby died
or what happened or exactly, you know, which of the
(06:11):
two would be ultimately culpable for this.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Of course, he did a jail house interview and he
says that he has no involvement in the baby's disappearance,
says he's cooperating with investigators. She mom, Rebecca Harrow, has
no prior convictions in Riverside County. It's just and by
(06:36):
the way, the date that Emmanuel was reported missing August fourteenth,
so it's almost been a month. I just, you know,
being doing what I do for a living and seeing
the images. Right when we show it on Fox eleven
and we show the pictures of baby Emmanual, I just
it's hard for me to look at It's just you
just feel for that that child who was completely defenseless
(06:57):
and came into this world said hey, I'm here. You
know I'm here because of you two. You can take
care of me now, and think, yeah, it's just awful.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All right, there's a new security detail that the former
vice president is going to get. We'll talk about the
local officers that are going to be guarding Kamala Harris
when we come back.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Marla teas in for Shannon today. There's one story coming
out of the world of politics that was kind of interesting.
Advisors to President Trump have discussed the possibility of giving
the mayor of New York City a position within the
administration as a way to clear the field. In November
about Eric Adams. Eric Adams, So, The New York Times
(07:45):
also says that they've been talking about giving a seat
in the administration to Curtis Sliwa, who in New York
City is the is the leading Republican running for mayor
against Madami. Yeah, and the whole plan would be, like,
this is quite a political manipulation. But if you figure
you take Eric Adams out of it, and you take
(08:07):
Curtis Sliwa out of it, then you leave Andrew Cuomo
and Zoron Mamdani as the two people running for running
for mayor sorry of New York City. And the belief,
apparently amongst the people in the White House would be
that Cuomo would have a better chance if Curtis Sliwa
(08:29):
and Eric Adams were.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Out of the ring.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But it's still not a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not a sure thing at all.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Do they roll the dice?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Justice Department has officially opened a criminal investigation into Fed
Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. They have issued subpoenas into part
of an inquiry into whether or not she was fraudulent
in mortgage applications. This is just after President Trump last
week cited those allegations of mortgage trod as he tried
(08:57):
to get her fired from the Board of Governors, so
that the DOJ has officially opened up an investigation into
that and.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Federal lawsuits announced today by Acting US Attorney Bill A.
Saley against in connection with two deadly and destructive Southernfornia wildfires,
one of those being the Eaten Fire. Of course, it
started January seventh, the same time as the Palisades Fire,
but federal prosecutors named Southern California Edison as defendants in
(09:31):
the January Eaten Fire and the September twenty twenty two
Fairview Fire in Riverside County. Both of those fires damaged
federal government owned land and property, and the lawsuit seeks
to recover costs due to fire suppression and rehabilitation of
National Forest property.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You grew up in northern California.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I did right where you did.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't remember there being viertility fires. Now, I mean
there were fires, plenty of fires, but I don't remember
utility fires the PGEN was responsible for in this case,
so Cal Edison. But I mean it's it's just the
conditions I guess have changed or they've become you know,
(10:10):
the infrastructure that they've used as aged aged.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Like the like the pipes here in LA that cause
all sorts of water.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Pipes in the building.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And all right, So Kamala Harris has a new security
detail that's going to be made up of LAPD officers.
They have been reassigned after President Trump withdrew her Secret
Service protection.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
They according to your Fox eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It was exclusive to us yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
As many as fourteen of the LPD Metro Division officers,
one of the more elite divisions in the LAPD, have
been pulled from working cases in prime sorry crime suppression
efforts to provide security for the former vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, so the timeline of all this Trump stopped her
Secret Service protection early. This happened just last week. He said,
we're going to be done with that. It's been six months.
So she got that. We know that it was Biden
who extended her Secret Service protection through July of next year.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Trump says, okay, we're done with her.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
She's good, and Governor Newsom comes out and says, well,
CHP is going to pick this up and extend it.
I'm going to extend it because HP also has detail
is assigned to her as well well. Now LAPD is assigning,
as you said, fourteen officers to be pulled from working
(11:37):
cases and guarding her twenty four to seven. We reached
out to and we, meaning Christina Gonzalez, one of our reporters,
reached out to the mayor, reached out to CHP, reached
out to the Governor's office, reach out to everybody you
could possibly reach out.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
To, and no one confirm this.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The mayor did issue a statement without admitting that this
is a case, that this is in fact the case.
She says, this is another act of revenge following a
long list of political retaliation in the form of firings,
the revoking of security clearances, and more. This puts the
former VP and danger, and I look forward to working
with the governor to make sure VP Harris is safe
(12:19):
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Now, I find if I remember correctly, it's never been
figured out exactly what the reasoning was for Biden to
extend the Vice president's protection. I'm assuming it was because
the assumption was, among other things, she's going out on
a book tour and that she was going to remain
relatively high profile, as opposed to other vice presidents who
(12:41):
once they leave office right fade off into the sunset.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Because Mike pants he had this protection for the six
months that you know vps are allotted, but not a
day longer. There were a couple of threats against her
while she was in office, but according to the AP
those threats there are none right now, and so she
is due to go out on this global book tour
in a couple of weeks. Her book officially comes out
(13:06):
September the twenty third, one hundred and seven days, which
profiles you know, her short campaign that did not come
to fruition for the White House, so you know, we'll see. Look,
taxpayers were funding it federally and now it's local taxpayer money, right.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I mean we've talked before with personal security experts who
have said a full time bought you know, one or
two security guards for a full time twenty four to
seven protection process. That's a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. Yeah,
that's not she and she as the vice president, you
(13:48):
would assume would have more than that, three or four
people at a time usually and then for public events,
might even have a larger team than that security wise.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But you think about the budget crisis that LA's in
number one and LA already down officers, right, Yeah, that's
that's the bigger issue or big s issue I think,
is that local tax dollars going to it when local
tax dollars are already at a premium.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All Right, speaking of we know that Kamalleris is not
going to be running for governor, but will Rick Caruso,
will Alex Padilla, we'll talk about the latest when it
comes to the potential race for governor of the great
state of California.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
This week, of course, starts to the NFL season. Tonight's
first game is going to be the Cowboys visiting the
Philadelphia Eagles. I have a cousin who is a huge
Eagles fan and her husband is a huge Cowboys fan.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So oh good, Rob, I're great to see if they
make a decision to get divorced tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
But Gas Fantasy four Play is also coming back tomorrow,
which is your chance to pick up some Gas swag
by picking the winners of the four NFL games that
we will be deciding on this weekend that we'll be
talking with Shannon tomorrow afternoon about her trip to Brazil.
She's there, of course, for the Chiefs Chargers game that
week one matchup that is tomorrow night in salth Paulo, Brazil.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
And now we do know she made it safely.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
She has.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
She has at least the Eagle posted information that she
has landed in salth Paula.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
All right, but I don't think she's supposed to leave
the hotel.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh so at hotel I trust.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I just assume she's not going to be posting pictures
from the uh from the neighborhoods around the hotel.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Okay, all right, our niners, we're waiting till Sunday.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yes, and they're playing the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Have not great expectations for them this year. No, no, but.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Listen, Shanahan not going to pull together.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's what the fans do, is we still we remain
optimistic even in the face of reality.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
What's the status of.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh my goodness, Marla Christine Olivia Coppold's husband, Christian McCaffery,
Oh my gosh, I should be like my mic should
be turned off the fact that I know her over McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
At this point, who I love.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
All I can think about is their wedding and her
maternity photos of late and their new baby.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And that one guy.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, he's still out injured.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I think he's starting the season on injured reserve. That's
too bad, Okay, Georgia omni ARMANI died.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Did you see that?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I did see that.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Ninety one years old?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, synonymous with a modern Italian style and elegance.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I just made that up, but.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well, I mean it sounds true. Yeah, that sounds true.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Katie.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The facts.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Katie Porter still leads the polls when it comes to
who would be chosen as the next governor of the
great State of California, if for no other reason. She's
got name recognition, having been a congresswoman and having run
for senator. She also has money. She has been able
to raise money after Kamala Harris decided she was not
(17:11):
going to run for governor, Katie Porter used that as
a fundraising message and was able to raise a bit
of money to help her boost her in the polls.
At this point, she's only got seventeen percent I think
was the latest La timespool seventeen percent support. There's a
whole lot of people still undecided, and still, even if
(17:32):
she does have some name recognition, I would say the
vast majority of people who are voters do not know
who Katie Porter is. So right now it's kind of
a wide open field. And even Democrats there are I
think nine of them that are have said that they
would run for governor. There's still room for more people.
(17:54):
And Senator Alex Padilla is one of those who could
be throwing his hat into this race.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, I mean he was recently asked about it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
He didn't say yes, he didn't say no, so hence
the speculation.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But isn't that I mean, that's a very political thing
because if they don't say yes or no, it's a yes.
And even if they say no, it's probably a yes.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
They're going to be running.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, no way around that.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So you know, if he does throw his hat into
the ring, he has well, he has a name recognition,
and political consultants say that it would hurt mostly Katie
Porter's chances. It would also hurt Health and Human Services
Secretary Javier Pisera, who is also a candidate, but in
(18:43):
terms of name recognition. I think back to the scuffle
with Christy Nome when he was taken down by Homeland
Security officials at the Federal building, and you know she
didn't recognize him, right, So I don't know what that
does for Washington.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
While there there is something to be said that could
that could be used as some political capital. You know
that they could make commercials out of I was here
fighting for the people and I got thrown onto the
ground by the thing, and I'm I'm fighting against the machine.
But I'm I feel like I'm I'm getting fatigued by
(19:21):
that message, the message of the constant fight as opposed.
And I'll use the Governor Newsom as an example of this.
I'm I'm fatigued by his ongoing messaging that he's the
savior of the Democratic Party and that he's the guy
who's going to take it to Trump. I would rather
you show me your winning record, show me your resume,
(19:45):
don't don't don't tell me, don't give me the cover letter,
don't tell me what you want to do or that
you think you can do. Show me what you've done
to get to this point to deserve my vote for
whatever position you're going.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
To go for Well, that's that's the issue right now.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The Democrat Party is trying to find itself, right and
so he can just say umbrella, an umbrella message of
I'm the right guy to take on Trump without really
showing my cards. And so the Democrats have an identity
issue right now nationally, but here in California, I mean
it's you have to say it's a royal blue state, right,
(20:22):
I mean two to one. So we talk about the
gubernatorial candidates, and of course there's the Republicans who are
running and Sheriff Chad Bianco out of Riverside, he's the
one who's pulling the highest and you could say that
that's surprising because money is a huge factor in this
and he doesn't theoretically or he doesn't have all the money.
(20:46):
And the one who does at this point is a
billionaire like a Caruso Stephen Klubeck, and he's running on
the Democratic ticket and he's thrown a ton of money
out there. He already has the ads. They're pretty witty.
It's entertainment in terms of I mean, in other words,
are flashy, flashy ads. He has the money to spend
and he's pulling one of the lowest.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, we'll see where Steve Hilton comes down to Hilton
running as a Robert Box host now getting.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
A messy in all of this.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Might be Rick Caruso, he has said in an interview
to Bloomberg Television yesterday, I'm looking at both paths, both
being governor versus mayor of LA said there are good
opportunities in both paths. I have a team of people
working on it, and we'll make a decision soon. I'd
be curious to know what the criteria would be. How
(21:39):
you decide between mayor versus governor.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, I would assume that it would be where
their internal polling shows that he could win.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I mean, does he want to go up against Karen
Bass and lose again?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I think after the wildfires, I think he would Probably
he was pushing more toward the mayor's race because it
was making Mayor Bess look so bad. I think there's
been a little bit more of a revival since then
for her, and people have a short term memory. So
(22:14):
we'll see if he chooses to go the mayor route
or the gubernatorial Obviously, he has a lot of money.
To what I was just saying, he has a lot
of money to throw at his campaign either way, because
he completely is self funded.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Four your terms for governor, I'm sorry, mayor thinks for
your term, yes, so twenty six, okay, So I'm trying
to figure out one of the there's the math calculation
here of the benefit of a politician being in position
(22:53):
as governor of the state of California. You're in charge
of the fourth largest or fifth largest economy in the world.
It comes with all kinds of notoriety. Mayor of Los
Angeles would also be mayor whoever the next mayor is,
if it's Karen Bass to be reelected or somebody else
that comes along, would be mayor during the Olympics, which
(23:13):
would also bring with it a pretty high profile international profile.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Perhaps well either way, I mean, it's in you, it's
in your state, so you know that brings your profile
up a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Either way. He's been saying that he's going to make
a decision soon.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He had had said after summer, sort of like what
Kamala had said earlier.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So it's it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Matter of time until we find out. Of course, his
focus has been on rebuilding the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, and he's watching him talk about rebuilding the Palisades.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Inspiring, that's the word I'll use. Inspiring.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
He knows what he's doing, he knows how to talk
about it, he knows the impact of the people. I
mean six homes. I think that his family owns somewhere
in and around Palisades and Malibu. Not him, but I
think his daughters or daughter's daughter last house.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And you also said about reising the profile of a politician,
whomever that is, and you know his lane is.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He's not a politician, he's a business guy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But you can't be one without the other. That's true,
all right.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
An alternative to the four h five or pch maybe
farther west than you think.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Shannon's out of town today, But Marla TEIs from Fox
eleven has come in time?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Does fly? It's almost eleven already.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, you know what, this is easier than no offense sloan,
than being at home.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, I'm glad that being in a room with me
is easier than being in a room with a five
month old.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I don't have to feed you or change your diaper.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Well, listen, the day is young. I'm not going to
not to anything, so we'll do swamp watch at the
top of the hour. We everybody who has been in
southern California for any more than forty five minutes notice
that the four oh five is an awful place to
be on the west side there.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
And they're starting it down again this week.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Well that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Pass yeah, ten am on Friday night till Monday five am.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
And there is a group called Peer to Peer that
is hoping to alleviate some of the stress on the
four h five and PCH by running ferries between Marina
del Ray, Santa Monica and Malibu.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Seventeen nautical miles.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Operator said they'd eventually like to extend the service to
Long Beach and perhaps south to Newport Beach, maybe as
far north as Santa Barbara. I don't know if this
is the same group that put together the high speed
rail plan here in California, but they've tried this before.
Back in nineteen seventy nine, the Department of Transportation had
(26:08):
to run a ferry that connected Malibu in Santa Monica
because the landslide had blocked PCH for a few weeks,
so they were ferrying people there, but they said regular
ferry service has not gained traction in the way that
it has in the Pacific coasts other great cities like
San Francisco and Seattle.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I mean there's a.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Whole ferry building in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right and Seattle is known for its great ferry system
that the Washington State ferries.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I should say, my mom takes the ferry from Snoman
County or from Marine County to the ferry building to
go to Giants games.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, we used to take the ferry all the time. Yeah,
I did too.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, But there's a difference, and I think it's weirdly.
The only difference I can think of is the geographic
nature of going up and down the coast right here, Malibu,
Santa Monica, Marina del Rey. You're talking about an outside curve,
(27:08):
if that makes any sense, versus the San Francisco Bay
area where you're going across the Bay, or even Seattle,
where you're dealing with Puget Sound and the islands like
Bainbridge or going over to Bremerton. You're dealing with a
closed in body of water as opposed to the Pacific Ocean.
And again I don't know if that makes any sense.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well it does.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I mean the Santa Monica pier would need to install
what they say is a rising tide gangway to get
passengers down to the ferry boats and seize around. The
dock would be calmed considerably if the city goes ahead
with the repairs to the breakwater outside the pier.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
So you have to take all of that into consideration.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, you're dealing with open ocean.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, a fairy wouldn't even stop on the roughest days,
which then would mean at certain points during I would
assume during the winter it's probably going to be rougher
than during the summer, but there will be days you
just can't run it or it doesn't stop at that
specific location. According to a city spokesperson for Santa Monica,
they're still in the early stages of assessing the feasibility
(28:13):
of whether if this ferry service and docking areas possible.
The pier at Malibu and some of the boat terminals
at Marina Delray already are outfitted for a service like this.
Malibu people have said that they would like this, and
some county and state officials have come together as well.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
And said that they would totally agree with this.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So yeah, I mean, Pierre says that they've pledged to
pay for the gangway and the breakwater repair that would
be necessary. So there's that The company now and talks
to the pair of veteran ferry operators about running the
Santa Monica Bay.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Ferries swamp watch when we come back.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Also, did you see this comedian who got arrested when
he flew into London at least.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Because there's something he said?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Because this is something he said.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
He made a court appearance today and it's a pretty
brilliant spotlight on the difference between speech laws when it
comes to our country versus other countries. Marlin's in for
Shannon today. We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Shannon's out of town, out of the country.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Specifically, she's getting ready for tomorrow night's Chargers game. They're
hosting the Chiefs down in salth Paulo, Brazil. The NFL
season itself starts tonight, Cowboys visiting the Eagles in Philly
for the first first game of the season. Angels beat
the Royals yesterday four to three. They'll play again. Four
to forty is the first pitch. Dodgers got shut out
by the Pirates yesterday, lost to second in a row.
(00:34):
Three to nothing was the score. They will play again
in Pittsburgh, first pitches at three point forty today. You
can listen to all the Dodgers games on AM five
seventy LA Sports live from the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth,
then stream all the games in HD on that iheartradiopp
used the keyword AM five seventy LA Sports. When we
get into swamp Watch at the top of next hour.
(00:54):
We'll do at least a little bit of a recap
of what RFK Junior has been saying on Capitol Hill
he's being grilled by senators there, I believe, from the
Finance Committee about all things CDC and vaccines, and it's
gotten pretty contentious at times.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So we'll get into some of that.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But also I love the difference in programming. By the way,
so CNN right.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Now, of course has live of RFK Junior amid quote
CDC chaos, and then Fox News has Malania Trump live
an AI education meeting.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
At the in Swampwatch.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We'll also talk about these two interesting aspects of what
Gavin Newsom is doing, Gavin Newsom, the candidate, Gavin, not
governor Gavenusom, the candidate Gavin Newsom, and how he's being
received outside of California.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Interesting. There is a big difference.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
This Cabazon couple, accused in the death of their seven
month old toddler, do back in court today for arraignment
on murder charges, among other things. I think they have
an They were both charged with filing false police reports.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Also they are and this is one of those stories
that just rips your heart out, makes your stomach hurt.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Of course, we've been following it at Fox eleven.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Gigi Grassiettes on it today on Fox eleven. This couple,
Jake Harrow thirty two Rebecca Harrow forty one, arrested last
month after they did file that police report saying falsely
that their son was kidnapped.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
They alleged that she was beaten in a parking lot.
Was it a big lots, big five, big five, big five?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And she doesn't remember she was attacked, baby was taken.
There was a search for baby Emmanuel, who's just seven
months old, and come to find out now that wasn't
the case. This is what authority say that they presume
that poor baby Emmanuel is dead. There was images of
(02:59):
Jake Harrow, the dad, with investigators out in Moreno Valley
in a field searching for the baby's body. He has
still not been found. This was all started on August
twenty sixth oh no, that was their initial court appearance.
Pardon me, so it was earlier in the month. So
it's been a while since the first reports of baby
(03:23):
Emmanuel's missing. So it's just absolutely horrendous. And what makes
us worth is Horrow has already on his record for
child cruelty.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
He was found guilty of that.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
He was looking at the potential for Mike Hester and
the DA in Riverside County came out and laid this
out very clearly last week in a news conference. Jake
Harrow had faced up to six years in prison after
he beat his ten week old daughter ten weeks at
the time, daughter Carolina, so badly she is now bedridden
for life because of the abuse at the hands of
(04:00):
the father.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Judge let him off the.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hook with probation and a work release program in counseling.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And that this there's a New York Post. Listen.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
When the New York Post starts paying attention to cases
like this, it rises to a certain level. And one
of the things that they point out in the in
their article about this.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Case was.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
He was given zero prison time despite felony child abuse.
The judge in the case made that decision over the
protests of the prosecutors who said he should he should
send again. The potential was for six years and he
(04:43):
got off with zero time behind bars. About two thirds
of felons in California do not see one day in prison.
Two thirds of felons. This argument that somehow the criminal
justice system is weighted against a certain group of people,
(05:05):
or a certain color of people, or a certain income
level of people, the idea that you could have felons
and just over thirty percent of them ever see a
single day in prison. I'm not talking about misdemeanors. I'm
not talking about low level crimes. These are felonies that
(05:27):
these people are convicted of.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Even so, I mean, it gets worse when you think
about his rap sheet.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Harrow.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
He was arrested and charged last year with a legal
possession of a loaded firearm, as well as other probation violations.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
That case was never resolved.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
His ex wife filed a domestic violence restraining order against
him with a request to protect that couple son, their son.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I mean, the list goes on and on.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm curious to see the reports that come out of
the courtroom today because when these two are arranged, the
chances are we're going to see some more information from
prosecutors in their arraignment documents, and any more information that
they might have more specifics about how the baby died
or what happened or exactly, you know, which of the
(06:11):
two would be ultimately culpable for this.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Of course, he did a jail house interview and he
says that he has no involvement in the baby's disappearance,
says he's cooperating with investigators. She mom, Rebecca Harrow, has
no prior convictions in Riverside County. It's just and by
(06:36):
the way, the date that Emmanuel was reported missing August fourteenth,
so it's almost been a month. I just, you know,
being doing what I do for a living and seeing
the images. Right when we show it on Fox eleven
and we show the pictures of baby Emmanual, I just
it's hard for me to look at It's just you
just feel for that that child who was completely defenseless
(06:57):
and came into this world said hey, I'm here. You
know I'm here because of you two. You can take
care of me now, and think, yeah, it's just awful.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
All right, there's a new security detail that the former
vice president is going to get. We'll talk about the
local officers that are going to be guarding Kamala Harris
when we come back.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Marla teas in for Shannon today. There's one story coming
out of the world of politics that was kind of interesting.
Advisors to President Trump have discussed the possibility of giving
the mayor of New York City a position within the
administration as a way to clear the field. In November
about Eric Adams. Eric Adams, So, The New York Times
(07:45):
also says that they've been talking about giving a seat
in the administration to Curtis Sliwa, who in New York
City is the is the leading Republican running for mayor
against Madami. Yeah, and the whole plan would be, like,
this is quite a political manipulation. But if you figure
you take Eric Adams out of it, and you take
(08:07):
Curtis Sliwa out of it, then you leave Andrew Cuomo
and Zoron Mamdani as the two people running for running
for mayor sorry of New York City. And the belief,
apparently amongst the people in the White House would be
that Cuomo would have a better chance if Curtis Sliwa
(08:29):
and Eric Adams were.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Out of the ring.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But it's still not a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Not a sure thing at all.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Do they roll the dice?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Justice Department has officially opened a criminal investigation into Fed
Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. They have issued subpoenas into part
of an inquiry into whether or not she was fraudulent
in mortgage applications. This is just after President Trump last
week cited those allegations of mortgage trod as he tried
(08:57):
to get her fired from the Board of Governors, so
that the DOJ has officially opened up an investigation into
that and.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Federal lawsuits announced today by Acting US Attorney Bill A.
Saley against in connection with two deadly and destructive Southernfornia wildfires,
one of those being the Eaten Fire. Of course, it
started January seventh, the same time as the Palisades Fire,
but federal prosecutors named Southern California Edison as defendants in
(09:31):
the January Eaten Fire and the September twenty twenty two
Fairview Fire in Riverside County. Both of those fires damaged
federal government owned land and property, and the lawsuit seeks
to recover costs due to fire suppression and rehabilitation of
National Forest property.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
You grew up in northern California.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
I did right where you did.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't remember there being viertility fires. Now, I mean
there were fires, plenty of fires, but I don't remember
utility fires the PGEN was responsible for in this case,
so Cal Edison. But I mean it's it's just the
conditions I guess have changed or they've become you know,
(10:10):
the infrastructure that they've used as aged aged.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Like the like the pipes here in LA that cause
all sorts of water.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Pipes in the building.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And all right, So Kamala Harris has a new security
detail that's going to be made up of LAPD officers.
They have been reassigned after President Trump withdrew her Secret
Service protection.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
They according to your Fox eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It was exclusive to us yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
As many as fourteen of the LPD Metro Division officers,
one of the more elite divisions in the LAPD, have
been pulled from working cases in prime sorry crime suppression
efforts to provide security for the former vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, so the timeline of all this Trump stopped her
Secret Service protection early. This happened just last week. He said,
we're going to be done with that. It's been six months.
So she got that. We know that it was Biden
who extended her Secret Service protection through July of next year.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Trump says, okay, we're done with her.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
She's good, and Governor Newsom comes out and says, well,
CHP is going to pick this up and extend it.
I'm going to extend it because HP also has detail
is assigned to her as well well. Now LAPD is assigning,
as you said, fourteen officers to be pulled from working
(11:37):
cases and guarding her twenty four to seven. We reached
out to and we, meaning Christina Gonzalez, one of our reporters,
reached out to the mayor, reached out to CHP, reached
out to the Governor's office, reach out to everybody you
could possibly reach out.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
To, and no one confirm this.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The mayor did issue a statement without admitting that this
is a case, that this is in fact the case.
She says, this is another act of revenge following a
long list of political retaliation in the form of firings,
the revoking of security clearances, and more. This puts the
former VP and danger, and I look forward to working
with the governor to make sure VP Harris is safe
(12:19):
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Now, I find if I remember correctly, it's never been
figured out exactly what the reasoning was for Biden to
extend the Vice president's protection. I'm assuming it was because
the assumption was, among other things, she's going out on
a book tour and that she was going to remain
relatively high profile, as opposed to other vice presidents who
(12:41):
once they leave office right fade off into the sunset.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Because Mike pants he had this protection for the six
months that you know vps are allotted, but not a
day longer. There were a couple of threats against her
while she was in office, but according to the AP
those threats there are none right now, and so she
is due to go out on this global book tour
in a couple of weeks. Her book officially comes out
(13:06):
September the twenty third, one hundred and seven days, which
profiles you know, her short campaign that did not come
to fruition for the White House, so you know, we'll see. Look,
taxpayers were funding it federally and now it's local taxpayer money, right.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I mean we've talked before with personal security experts who
have said a full time bought you know, one or
two security guards for a full time twenty four to
seven protection process. That's a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. Yeah,
that's not she and she as the vice president, you
(13:48):
would assume would have more than that, three or four
people at a time usually and then for public events,
might even have a larger team than that security wise.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But you think about the budget crisis that LA's in
number one and LA already down officers, right, Yeah, that's
that's the bigger issue or big s issue I think,
is that local tax dollars going to it when local
tax dollars are already at a premium.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
All Right, speaking of we know that Kamalleris is not
going to be running for governor, but will Rick Caruso,
will Alex Padilla, we'll talk about the latest when it
comes to the potential race for governor of the great
state of California.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
This week, of course, starts to the NFL season. Tonight's
first game is going to be the Cowboys visiting the
Philadelphia Eagles. I have a cousin who is a huge
Eagles fan and her husband is a huge Cowboys fan.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So oh good, Rob, I're great to see if they
make a decision to get divorced tonight.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
But Gas Fantasy four Play is also coming back tomorrow,
which is your chance to pick up some Gas swag
by picking the winners of the four NFL games that
we will be deciding on this weekend that we'll be
talking with Shannon tomorrow afternoon about her trip to Brazil.
She's there, of course, for the Chiefs Chargers game that
week one matchup that is tomorrow night in salth Paulo, Brazil.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
And now we do know she made it safely.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
She has.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
She has at least the Eagle posted information that she
has landed in salth Paula.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
All right, but I don't think she's supposed to leave
the hotel.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh so at hotel I trust.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I just assume she's not going to be posting pictures
from the uh from the neighborhoods around the hotel.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Okay, all right, our niners, we're waiting till Sunday.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yes, and they're playing the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Have not great expectations for them this year. No, no, but.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Listen, Shanahan not going to pull together.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's what the fans do, is we still we remain
optimistic even in the face of reality.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
What's the status of.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh my goodness, Marla Christine Olivia Coppold's husband, Christian McCaffery,
Oh my gosh, I should be like my mic should
be turned off the fact that I know her over McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
At this point, who I love.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
All I can think about is their wedding and her
maternity photos of late and their new baby.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And that one guy.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, he's still out injured.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I think he's starting the season on injured reserve. That's
too bad, Okay, Georgia omni ARMANI died.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Did you see that?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I did see that.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Ninety one years old?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, synonymous with a modern Italian style and elegance.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I just made that up, but.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well, I mean it sounds true. Yeah, that sounds true.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Katie.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
The facts.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Katie Porter still leads the polls when it comes to
who would be chosen as the next governor of the
great State of California, if for no other reason. She's
got name recognition, having been a congresswoman and having run
for senator. She also has money. She has been able
to raise money after Kamala Harris decided she was not
(17:11):
going to run for governor, Katie Porter used that as
a fundraising message and was able to raise a bit
of money to help her boost her in the polls.
At this point, she's only got seventeen percent I think
was the latest La timespool seventeen percent support. There's a
whole lot of people still undecided, and still, even if
(17:32):
she does have some name recognition, I would say the
vast majority of people who are voters do not know
who Katie Porter is. So right now it's kind of
a wide open field. And even Democrats there are I
think nine of them that are have said that they
would run for governor. There's still room for more people.
(17:54):
And Senator Alex Padilla is one of those who could
be throwing his hat into this race.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, I mean he was recently asked about it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
He didn't say yes, he didn't say no, so hence
the speculation.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But isn't that I mean, that's a very political thing
because if they don't say yes or no, it's a yes.
And even if they say no, it's probably a yes.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
They're going to be running.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, no way around that.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So you know, if he does throw his hat into
the ring, he has well, he has a name recognition,
and political consultants say that it would hurt mostly Katie
Porter's chances. It would also hurt Health and Human Services
Secretary Javier Pisera, who is also a candidate, but in
(18:43):
terms of name recognition. I think back to the scuffle
with Christy Nome when he was taken down by Homeland
Security officials at the Federal building, and you know she
didn't recognize him, right, So I don't know what that
does for Washington.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
While there there is something to be said that could
that could be used as some political capital. You know
that they could make commercials out of I was here
fighting for the people and I got thrown onto the
ground by the thing, and I'm I'm fighting against the machine.
But I'm I feel like I'm I'm getting fatigued by
(19:21):
that message, the message of the constant fight as opposed.
And I'll use the Governor Newsom as an example of this.
I'm I'm fatigued by his ongoing messaging that he's the
savior of the Democratic Party and that he's the guy
who's going to take it to Trump. I would rather
you show me your winning record, show me your resume,
(19:45):
don't don't don't tell me, don't give me the cover letter,
don't tell me what you want to do or that
you think you can do. Show me what you've done
to get to this point to deserve my vote for
whatever position you're going.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
To go for Well, that's that's the issue right now.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
The Democrat Party is trying to find itself, right and
so he can just say umbrella, an umbrella message of
I'm the right guy to take on Trump without really
showing my cards. And so the Democrats have an identity
issue right now nationally, but here in California, I mean
it's you have to say it's a royal blue state, right,
(20:22):
I mean two to one. So we talk about the
gubernatorial candidates, and of course there's the Republicans who are
running and Sheriff Chad Bianco out of Riverside, he's the
one who's pulling the highest and you could say that
that's surprising because money is a huge factor in this
and he doesn't theoretically or he doesn't have all the money.
(20:46):
And the one who does at this point is a
billionaire like a Caruso Stephen Klubeck, and he's running on
the Democratic ticket and he's thrown a ton of money
out there. He already has the ads. They're pretty witty.
It's entertainment in terms of I mean, in other words,
are flashy, flashy ads. He has the money to spend
and he's pulling one of the lowest.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, we'll see where Steve Hilton comes down to Hilton
running as a Robert Box host now getting.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
A messy in all of this.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Might be Rick Caruso, he has said in an interview
to Bloomberg Television yesterday, I'm looking at both paths, both
being governor versus mayor of LA said there are good
opportunities in both paths. I have a team of people
working on it, and we'll make a decision soon. I'd
be curious to know what the criteria would be. How
(21:39):
you decide between mayor versus governor.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, I would assume that it would be where
their internal polling shows that he could win.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I mean, does he want to go up against Karen
Bass and lose again?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I think after the wildfires, I think he would Probably
he was pushing more toward the mayor's race because it
was making Mayor Bess look so bad. I think there's
been a little bit more of a revival since then
for her, and people have a short term memory. So
(22:14):
we'll see if he chooses to go the mayor route
or the gubernatorial Obviously, he has a lot of money.
To what I was just saying, he has a lot
of money to throw at his campaign either way, because
he completely is self funded.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Four your terms for governor, I'm sorry, mayor thinks for
your term, yes, so twenty six, okay, So I'm trying
to figure out one of the there's the math calculation
here of the benefit of a politician being in position
(22:53):
as governor of the state of California. You're in charge
of the fourth largest or fifth largest economy in the world.
It comes with all kinds of notoriety. Mayor of Los
Angeles would also be mayor whoever the next mayor is,
if it's Karen Bass to be reelected or somebody else
that comes along, would be mayor during the Olympics, which
(23:13):
would also bring with it a pretty high profile international profile.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Perhaps well either way, I mean, it's in you, it's
in your state, so you know that brings your profile
up a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Either way. He's been saying that he's going to make
a decision soon.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He had had said after summer, sort of like what
Kamala had said earlier.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So it's it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Matter of time until we find out. Of course, his
focus has been on rebuilding the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, and he's watching him talk about rebuilding the Palisades.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Inspiring, that's the word I'll use. Inspiring.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
He knows what he's doing, he knows how to talk
about it, he knows the impact of the people. I
mean six homes. I think that his family owns somewhere
in and around Palisades and Malibu. Not him, but I
think his daughters or daughter's daughter last house.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And you also said about reising the profile of a politician,
whomever that is, and you know his lane is.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He's not a politician, he's a business guy.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But you can't be one without the other. That's true,
all right.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
An alternative to the four h five or pch maybe
farther west than you think.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Shannon's out of town today, But Marla TEIs from Fox
eleven has come in time?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Does fly? It's almost eleven already.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, you know what, this is easier than no offense sloan,
than being at home.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, I'm glad that being in a room with me
is easier than being in a room with a five
month old.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I don't have to feed you or change your diaper.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Well, listen, the day is young. I'm not going to
not to anything, so we'll do swamp watch at the
top of the hour. We everybody who has been in
southern California for any more than forty five minutes notice
that the four oh five is an awful place to
be on the west side there.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
And they're starting it down again this week.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Well that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Pass yeah, ten am on Friday night till Monday five am.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
And there is a group called Peer to Peer that
is hoping to alleviate some of the stress on the
four h five and PCH by running ferries between Marina
del Ray, Santa Monica and Malibu.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Seventeen nautical miles.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Operator said they'd eventually like to extend the service to
Long Beach and perhaps south to Newport Beach, maybe as
far north as Santa Barbara. I don't know if this
is the same group that put together the high speed
rail plan here in California, but they've tried this before.
Back in nineteen seventy nine, the Department of Transportation had
(26:08):
to run a ferry that connected Malibu in Santa Monica
because the landslide had blocked PCH for a few weeks,
so they were ferrying people there, but they said regular
ferry service has not gained traction in the way that
it has in the Pacific coasts other great cities like
San Francisco and Seattle.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I mean there's a.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Whole ferry building in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Right and Seattle is known for its great ferry system
that the Washington State ferries.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I should say, my mom takes the ferry from Snoman
County or from Marine County to the ferry building to
go to Giants games.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, we used to take the ferry all the time. Yeah,
I did too.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, But there's a difference, and I think it's weirdly.
The only difference I can think of is the geographic
nature of going up and down the coast right here, Malibu,
Santa Monica, Marina del Rey. You're talking about an outside curve,
(27:08):
if that makes any sense, versus the San Francisco Bay
area where you're going across the Bay, or even Seattle,
where you're dealing with Puget Sound and the islands like
Bainbridge or going over to Bremerton. You're dealing with a
closed in body of water as opposed to the Pacific Ocean.
And again I don't know if that makes any sense.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Well it does.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I mean the Santa Monica pier would need to install
what they say is a rising tide gangway to get
passengers down to the ferry boats and seize around. The
dock would be calmed considerably if the city goes ahead
with the repairs to the breakwater outside the pier.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
So you have to take all of that into consideration.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, you're dealing with open ocean.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Yeah, a fairy wouldn't even stop on the roughest days,
which then would mean at certain points during I would
assume during the winter it's probably going to be rougher
than during the summer, but there will be days you
just can't run it or it doesn't stop at that
specific location. According to a city spokesperson for Santa Monica,
they're still in the early stages of assessing the feasibility
(28:13):
of whether if this ferry service and docking areas possible.
The pier at Malibu and some of the boat terminals
at Marina Delray already are outfitted for a service like this.
Malibu people have said that they would like this, and
some county and state officials have come together as well.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
And said that they would totally agree with this.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So yeah, I mean, Pierre says that they've pledged to
pay for the gangway and the breakwater repair that would
be necessary. So there's that The company now and talks
to the pair of veteran ferry operators about running the
Santa Monica Bay.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Ferries swamp watch when we come back.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Also, did you see this comedian who got arrested when
he flew into London at least.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Because there's something he said?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Because this is something he said.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
He made a court appearance today and it's a pretty
brilliant spotlight on the difference between speech laws when it
comes to our country versus other countries. Marlin's in for
Shannon today. We'll be back right after this.
