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 (00:09):
The Burbank Airport, they unload those seven thirty sevens from
the back.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, just go sit in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I mean it was a wide open flight. There are
plenty empty seats. You sat in the middle somewhere. No,
I didn't sit in the middle, but I didn't sit
in the window. Some guy had had sat on the
aisle and then put his bag in the middle seat,
which is a Southwest trick. Everybody knows it. And it's
like row three and I go, hey, do you mind
if I sit in the window?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Was like.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Rolls his eyes, picks his bag up, and I'm like,
I'm just I am not getting up during the flight.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm not going to bother.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You're not possibly been a full flight. No, is what
he was saying. Why do you have to sit in
my aisle.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Because I don't want to go twelve rows back?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You could have gone two rows back.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I could have gone all the way to the back
and been the first one off the airplane.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Since the back door. You were like, I want to
sit right next to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You morons, and then you're kind of the moron.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, yeah, that's how I'm saying it to Okay, I'm
holding okay and I am saying moro.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
That's okay. You know these things happen, Yes, they do it.
You know it happens.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Later on, i'll talk about what the memorial service that
I went to last night, which turned out memorial services
are never easy. This one was not easy by any means,
but it was one of the most beautiful ways to
honor a thirteen year old relative of ours who was
(01:30):
killed in an accident two months ago now almost exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Eight weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So I'll talk about that a little bit later. But Taho,
I haven't been to Tahoe in twenty five years. Beautiful,
and we.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Were right on the twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I know, I haven't been up Highway fifty.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's like easy drive for you to may eight hour drive, take.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The kids, eight hour take the kids eight hour drive.
None of that means easy to me.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I don't mean when they were two and four.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I don't know. But we were there for sunset
and the sunset swim and everything was it was coret
I love Lake Tahoe. So there is some breaking news.
I mean breaking news, not a giant surprise news. It's
not like aliens have come down. But the House Oversight
Committee has subpoenaed a regular shipload of people for testimony
(02:22):
regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Committee chair James Comer sent a bunch
of subpoenas related to Epstein all over the place, including
Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
This is what the people have been clamoring for. Bring
in the Clintons. What do they know? What are they
guilty of? What did they do? This is a blatant
toaring to the base that wants more Epstein information. This
is all you got to do is throw in the
big sea word and you're gonna make a lot of
people happy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But this isn't the chateaubriand kind of meat that they're
looking for. No, but it's a taste, but it's meat,
and it is some some amount of meat. Now it's
not just Democrats that were subpoenaed. You do have former
FBI director James Comy and Robert Muller directors I should
say former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder. But
(03:13):
you've also got William Barr and Jeff Sessions. And Alberto Gonzales.
Now Barr and Sessions were both attorneys general under Trump
in the first term, and Alberto Gonzalez was the attorney
general for George W. Bush, So this subpoenas go back
(03:35):
several years. Of course, these come after the same committee
voted to subpoena Gallaine Maxwell. They want to talk to her,
but they have agreed to wait until after the Supreme Court.
Here's her petition to overturn that conviction. Hillary Clinton is
being asked to appear in October. As is bill, both
(03:57):
the Attorney's General, bar and Sessions would be August eighteenth
and twenty eighth, respectively. The Obama are era attorneys general
Lynch and Holder compelled to appear next month, and then
a bunch of others. You've got Merrick Garland potentially Richard
Bob Muller sorry, and then James Comy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Cooperation is not guaranteed. We don't know if any information
will come from said subpoenas.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We do know that the DOJ.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Released a memo last month that said there was no
client list, essentially no credible evidence that found Epstein blackmailed
prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not
uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. Essentially,
DOJ said case closed?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
When I see that that they say there's no there's
no client list. Are they arguing semantics there? I mean,
there's no potent there's no document that says client.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Lists on the top of him.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Maybe, but they weren't able to glean names and email
addresses from all of the transactions, etc.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
That this guy was involved with.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And again not to say that they were clients in
the sex trafficking end of his business, but people that
he worked with.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I just go back to my gut instinct that there
was a reason that the power players trusted Jeff Epstein
with their fun times, and it wasn't because he was
an idiot when it came to writing things down and
keeping records of who did what.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And when with whom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I just don't think that there's this like trove of
evidence where people's names are in print or in type
or what have you and what they did.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, that would be a little too on the nose.
That seems like it would be a little too much.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, I wouldn't trust that guy, and these are the
richest and the most powerful people that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The other issue that comes up with Jeffrey Epstein in
terms of the developing story is that the Justice Department
says they have an audio recording of the hours of
discussion they had last week with Glene Maxwell.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They should I mean, they talked about more than one
hundred individuals over two days, and then it was ended.
It all ended with her getting moved to this minimum
security prison where you saw pictures all weekend of Elizabeth
Holmes doing laps around the yard with five pound hand weights.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, and they have puppies there. Looks certainly really nice.
It looks like a nice little vaca.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The existence of this recording had not been reported earlier,
but the Justice Department is talking about whether or not
they should release a transcript of that conversation that she
had with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. They have been
transcribing and digitizing the recording. Portions of the transcript. Transcript
could reveal some sensitive details like victim names, so those
(06:55):
would have to be redacted, of course, but names.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I watched two episodes of that Epstein documentary.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They didn't give a crap what.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
These girls' names were let alone to keep records of them.
My god, ye, doctor, they were all just like by
the uh no, no, no, I mean Epstein and his people.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
They didn't care, they were no, I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It was all it was. It was wild. When I
was remembered about it, reminded about it. How they would
just use these girls from you know, the seaedier side
of Palm Beach to recruit other girls who were from
these broken homes. These just girls that live in the
margins of society and happened to be seventeen years old,
(07:42):
just recruited each other to make a couple extra hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Hey, you just got to go to this old guy's
house and take.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Off your clothes and rub him for an hour and
you'll get two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And that was a big deal to these girls.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And they were able to recruit hundreds of them just
by word of mouth, just for the couple hundred bucks
for Christmas spending money.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Boy, I've been waiting all day for this hot redistricting talk.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, don't sell it so well.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sorry, should I say jerry mandering? Really slowly? No, when
did you become a party pooper?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, it's hard to get the fire started with redistricting
and then following it up with jerry mandering.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The term jerrymanderings. You want to know the etymology? Where
did it come from?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Guy named Jerry? Absolutely right?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Really yeah, the name of Governor Elbridge Jerry of Massachusetts
and salamander from the supposed similarity between a salamander and
the shape of a new voting district on a map
drawn when he was in office in eighteen twelve. Obviously,
the creation of said district felt to favor his party. Now,
(09:05):
the map that was published in the Boston Weekly Messenger
had the title the Jerry Mander, and on that map
it was printed with claws and wings and fangs, and
it added Now, I'm probably betting that it was less
likely the shape of a salamander, and more to a
(09:25):
talk about how Elbridge Jerry was seen as a slimy
lizard with his redistricting.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Listen to you, little muckraker yellow journalism.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I am a muckraker.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Let's keep in mind though, that since you said it's
eighteen twelve, I think yeah, Okay, This is not new,
this whole this issue of redistricting and one party leaving
the state so there's no quorum. It's not just Texas,
it's not just California. It's happened in states all across
the country, and it's happened since eighteen twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It's happened before then.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The the idea that somehow one party has the moral
high ground in this is not only wrong, it's dangerous
because in five years or ten years, when Democrats in
another state want to do the same thing, I'm looking
at you California and Republicans want to leave so that
(10:20):
there's no quorum. Although I don't know if it would
work in California because the super majority. But you're just
shooting yourself on the foot. You're complaining about the same
thing that your party did or will do, and it's.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Just it's.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Why do you expect these people not to be slimy salamanders?
Why is it shocking to you? You're right that they do.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
This kind of thing raatinely, because.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Every once in a while I fall for the.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I'm here to serve.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
When's the last politician that you've fallen for? When's the
last when who is the last politician where you believe
they were there for the right reasons. Gotta sound like
I'm a host on the Bachelor? Are you here for
the right reasons? But seriously, when did I find love?
I mean, I know Democrats who think that John Edwards
(11:12):
was like the last one they believed in.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Oh wow, that goes back aways, But okay, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like for me, Tom McClintock, I hold up as a
true Republican and one who got into it and stayed into.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It for the right reasons.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Like Tom mcclintalk is a guy who's a smart guy
who is there to make things better the way he
thinks they should be better.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's who I kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Hold up, I would say on the other side, just
based on the conversation that we had with him a
year ago, as Dean Phillips.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Dean hwis a guy who was right example.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Willing to go against his party right by calling out
what he saw at the time. Was he you know,
his thoughts that Joe Biden was capable of running the
country for anyone, right, just.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because we're talking about that, can Antonio via Ragosa, I
find him. I have always found him to be extremely likable,
but having no pretense that he's in it one hundred percent.
For Antonio via Ragosa, he doesn't care about the people
the same way I don't believe Trump really cares about
the people.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There's certain guys who get into it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For number one, you just have to have that personality
to be attracted to politics and to succeed in politics.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
To be able to fund That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Texas House is scheduled to be in session at
one o'clock Dallas time, so about an hour and a
half from now. Many of the Democrats there in Texas
we told you, left the state on Sunday in protest
of this effort to call for redistricting in that state.
The point is to create a new congressional map that
(12:48):
would probably that would alter the dimensions, alter the borders
of those districts, to create five almost guaranteed Republican seats
and give Republicans a little bit more margin when it
comes to control of the House of Representatives for next
year's mid terms. Now, the Democrats that have left are
(13:09):
being put up by you know, JB. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois,
Kathy Hochel, governor of New York, and are being cheered
on by those governors and other Democrats, including Gavin Newsom,
and both Gaven Newsom and Kathy Hokeel have said that
they would try to get partisan redistricting done in their
own states as a response to Texas. And as we
(13:32):
mentioned yesterday, that is a complete one pint eighty from
Gavin Newsom. Right now, there's fifty two congressional seats in
our districts in California. Forty three of those districts are
represented by Republican I'm sorry, democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Forty three to nine is the current score.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
If you want to say that between Republicans and Democrats
in California, and the way that the governor would want
to redistrict would probably reduce the number of Republican controlled
districts down to about three in the state of California.
That's a that's an absolute, absolute mess going forward, and
(14:13):
it's not a representative democracy. It's not the way the
founding fathers thought of this. But since politicians have been politicians,
they've found ways to get around all of this. There's
somebody who is actually putting up a fight against Gavinussom
when it comes to the redistricting policies. And that's Arnold Schwarzenegger,
(14:35):
former governor.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What kind of facial hair is he dealing with? You
never know what the hair is going to say. You know,
he plays around with the goatee, with the full beard.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's always a thing's going on. I haven't seen him lately,
so I have not.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
A spokesperson for the former governor says he calls jerry
mandering evil and he means that he thinks it's truly
evil for politicians to take power from people. He's opposed
to what Texas is doing, and he's opposed to the
idea that California would race to the bottom to do this.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Well, see on Swarzenacer.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's he already got enough personal attention in his life
by the time he got into politics. He was already
lauded as the best in the world. And so when
he got into politics, he didn't need the fluffing. He
did not do it for himself. He did it for
the people of California. He didn't need the special interests.
He didn't care. He didn't need the ego boost. He
(15:29):
had had a lifetime of it.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and he I mean Thankfully he can call out
Governor Schwarzenegger Schwartzen Newsom, Sorry, Governor Newsom. Newsom is a
guy who pushed the Independent Commission on Congressional Districts. We
have an independent body in the state that we all
voted on and said, yeah, that's the better way to
do it. And now Gavin Newsom, staring down the barrel
(15:53):
of five more seats for Republicans in the House, wants
to tear that whole thing up and go back to
the way things were before. Would just mired and muddy politics.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
News some needs fluffing that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know what it's like the third you'd sometimes you
say things.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Just bottom line, No, I bottom line things, I bottom
line them. You got to play that dirty the way
that Gavin plays. You need fluffing. Schwarzenegger didn't need to
do that. He'd been fluffed enough. See how easy it
is to wrap your head around.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
When we come back, there is a quadruple murder suspect
that's finally been captured after a big search in Tennessee.
We've got people blaming his last trip through the incarceration
circus because it included alcohol and streaming television and seemed
like a pretty cush life in prison. He is linked
(16:48):
to four killings of relatives, left a baby in a field.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Tell you this whole saga when we come back. So
he was justice involved. Huh.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, there was a polling company that decided to finally
ask kids how to get them off their own phones.
There had been a lot of research done on what
could pry kids off the screens. This is maybe the
first of its kind, went straight to the kids to say,
what is it going to take to get you off
your phones? You may be surprised at the results of that.
(17:24):
We'll do that coming up in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Police are looking for three individual hit and run drivers,
three who hit a sixty one year old guy and
killed him in Baldwin Hills on Sunday at night. Victim
was walking near the intersection with Librea and roseland he
was hit by a car traveling northbound, hit by another
car traveling northbound, and hit by a third car traveling northbounds.
(17:49):
A bad day and not one of them stopped that
It was a bad day. Angels beat the Rays yesterday
five to one. They'll play again tonight six thirty eight.
Cardinals did beat the Dodgers three to two last night.
Take them on again tonight at Dodger Stadium, first pitches
at seven. You can listen to all Dodgers games on
AM five seventy LA Sports live from the Galpin Motors
Broadcast Booth, and stream all the Dodgers games in HD
(18:10):
on that iHeartRadio app. Use the keyword AM five seventy
LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
If you missed Friday show, you missed a lot. Check
the podcast. But we were given a show cat on Friday.
Now it's not the kind of cat you think of.
We talked about getting a cat. Well, Gary was gone
and angry, mean cat. Just put it in a cage
over there in the corner.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You wouldn't put it on the high top table that's
over now studio for no.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Right now, they'll be ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But we all had a yes. Elmer voted yes, Kenna
voted yes.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I voted yes. But I knew that you would vote
now eventually to that, and.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
So Janet I believe sent us a lego cat which
I began to put together on Friday, and it's almost done,
except it doesn't have arms or legs. So I'm going
to do that today and then when we have our
cat completely completed so you can see its face, its body,
the whole thing, we'll post a picture of the cat
and we'll name it altogether. Now we have a couple.
(19:06):
We got a couple suggestions on Friday, none of which
I remember.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
A lot of standouts. Well, no, booty. Booty was the standout.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, brick bricks, I think it was bricks. There was
one that was clever, and I know who it was, Fron,
So let me pull it up here.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Let's see here. It was legless.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh yeah, and that was interesting because it had some
sort of reference to gain.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
The right lord of the rings.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Lord, I knew it was something that I know nothing about,
so so let us know. But we will post the
picture of Gary and Channen coming up later once I
finished the arms.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And the legs.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Austin Drummond is a quadruple murder suspect out of Tennessee.
They're looking for this twenty eight year old guy allegedly
killed James Wilson twenty one, Adriana Williams twenty, Courtney Rose
thirty eight, Braden Williams fifteen.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They've got him now, Oh, they do have him, Okay, good, Yeah,
they arrested him this morning. There was a lockdown, as
you can imagine, for local residents overnight. Two kind of
town areas were told to shelter in place. There was
surveillance video that made the rounds of this guy approaching
a local church while armed with a rifle. He is
(20:28):
said to be related to all those people that you
laid out that he killed. The bodies were discovered about
five days ago, five or six days ago, and an
infant was found on the front lawn of a random
individual's house. He is the infant is related to all
four victims. It is the daughter of two of them,
(20:51):
the granddaughter of one, and the niece of one of
the victims as well. The guy who killed everybody served
thirteen years in a Tennessee prison. This is one of
those stories of even the bad guys when they're sent away,
get extra chances. We're all given so many chances, right,
and some of us get more chances than others.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was given some good chances here.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, I assume he did hard time, and by hard
time like breaking rocks and stuff like that, you know, dirty,
moldy cell breaking window.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Now thirteen years in a Tennessee prison.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
He was there convicted of aggravated robbery and retaliation. And
to your question, no, he had a Roku inside. He
had at least one cell phone. He had a pantry
filled with food. He had a bottle at least, according
to one picture of Siroc vodka. Your your favorite favorite,
your favorite vodkas. You love it, and you love it
(21:50):
so much of your own name.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
For it until the Diddy thing. Oh right, so Roc
he's given up on Johnson and Johnson's baby oil. Oh yeah, yeah,
I used to be a big fan. So what are
you using instead? Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So rock? He wrote almost home, living it up till
I get there. Just a year before he was released,
he was able to post that picture of him in
his bottle of vodka. The prison wardens now are getting
hell for not doing their job correctly. They're being charged,
or at least publicly charged with irresponsibility, neglect, recklessness. But
(22:29):
it's going all the way up senior management staff. The
captain's a deputy ward in the lieutenant. They're supposed to
have frequent checks of the cells. The experts say shakedowns.
If you know, if you're in the no part of
the policy, part of the protocol in the state prison
system as well as a federal prison system. But that
is absolutely possible that he knew somebody who worked in
the prison. Now, when he killed these four people, he
(22:52):
was out on bond and related to another attempted murder charge.
He gets out on September of last year. By dec
he's wanted for attempted murder again and then is free
to kill these four people.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
A couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
In terms of getting the stuff in prison, he had
been charged four times with getting contraband into the prison.
And I don't know the individual cases.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
But.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
You can charge him, but you don't know where he's
getting it from. Like, shouldn't other people be charged in
that as well? I mean Department of Corrections Tennessee officials
should be on the hook for this.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, And who's on the hook for letting somebody like
this out and free to kill four more people? But
that baby man parents shot and killed. We don't know
why he was related to all of them, but he
saved the baby, left it in that field. But the
parents of the baby, the grandmother of the baby, the
uncle of the baby, all killed.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Up next, I'll relate to you my experience from last night.
And my wife pointed out to me, I don't use
a lot of I phrases when I talk about this stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So I'm going to try to use I phrases.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay when I tell you about this memorialatives that last night.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, I'd hear the ready space and I'll do my legos.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
A couple of stories that we are following the Justice
Department's opening a federal grand jury investigation of some former
Obama administration officials who may have conspired to whip up
a scandal about President Trump and then purported links to Russia.
This development opens the door to criminal charges against some
of the prominent cabinet members who served President Obama, including
(24:54):
the former d n I James Clapper, former CIA director
John Brennan, former FBI director James Camy. Not clear yet
if this grand jury is going to be based in
DC or somewhere else. Lakerstar Lebron James is reportedly involved
in a major project that could launch a basketball league
(25:15):
that would rival the NBA. He's made a bunch of
investments throughout his career and is currently a shareholder in
a group called Fenway Sports Group, which owns several sports teams,
and they said as a result, James the first active
player to become a billionaire and his wealth could help
fund this new international league that they say would compete
(25:39):
with the NBA.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
We have a wellness segment coming up in the next
hour where we're going to be talking about big wellness.
It's like big tobacco, but wellness. There are a few
things outlined in this article and wired about the ridiculous,
the ridiculous, gimmicky things that we should Is it worth
our time or not?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Or our time? We'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So last night yesterday did the show from my sister's
she shed in her backyard in fulsome outside of Sacramento,
and we were up north because a family member was killed.
A thirteen year old family member of ours was killed
in accident a couple months ago, and it was an
(26:22):
opportunity for us to hold the to have the memorial
service for young Jada. She was killed in near her
home in South Lake Tahoe back at the beginning of
June in an accident she was on a bike and
she was hit by a car.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It was one of those. It was an experience. I
had the experience. I words, eye phrases. I had the experience.
My sister married her high school sweetheart. This is her
husband's sister that lost the daughter. So, and we all
went to school together. So Kelly mom was a year
(27:03):
younger than a year behind me in school. So we
had a lot of common friends, et cetera. And in fact,
I saw a bunch of them last night, which is
weird outside of the context of some sort of high
school reunion. It's very weird to see faces of people
that you remember when they were seventeen and you haven't
seen them since, right.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
And it's hard to know what to say at a
high school reunion, and here you are at a memorial
for a little girl.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, so it was. It was gorgeous. We were on
the shores of Lake Tahoe where they lived, and there
were hundreds of people there. I mean to the point
where they shuttled in people from outside parking lots. They
shuttled them in to this venue for this event. And
(27:48):
it was in the afternoon and it was beautiful because
the sun was setting. It was a gorgeous day in Tahoe. Charles,
the dad, Joda's dad, came to me and they they
had all attended my parents' memorials. So he came to
me and said, you've done this before. You know, you've
spoken before. How do you do it? And I had
(28:11):
I didn't know what to say to him, like, well,
I spoke at the memorials for two old people, like yes,
they were my parents. But this wasn't a sudden event,
and this was not a thing that I had to
think of off the top of my This was planned
well in the future. I mean, we knew that this
was coming. You've lost a thirteen year old. I don't
(28:32):
know what to say. And he said, well, I'm going
to take your advice. I said something during my father's
memorial while I was speaking, and I said, if my
voice cracks, you'll have to apologize. I'm going to speak
louder so I don't cry. And he said, I think
I'm going to say that. I'm going to use that line.
And I said, you can do whatever you want. Whatever
you want he spoke first. I'll tell you what he
(28:55):
said later, because I think if he had gone last,
the place would have just crumbled. But he spoke first
and was incredibly gracious about his thirteen year old daughter.
And he's got a nineteen year old and a sixteen
year old still also daughters that he's still got to
be the dad of. But they had a special He
(29:16):
and his youngest daughter had a very special connection. Loved
the outdoors, loved bike riding and hiking and camping and
skiing and.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Mom spoke, Kelly spoke, which again, how you could get
up and memorialize a daughter like that, a kid that
age is difficult. And then Joda's friends got up and
they were incredibly poised for having just lost their friend.
And I'm sitting there feeling like someone is punching me
(29:49):
in the throat over and over and over again. And
the moments that got me were when, I mean, they
talk about Joda and how fun she was, and these
fun anecdotes of stories and the times that she would
cheer them up, and the times that she would include
people that were kind of on the outside, the outskirts
of the group, and she was just a lovely kid.
(30:11):
It's when they spoke to her directly and they would,
you know, they they'd start with their stories, and then
they would say, but Jada, what I'm gonna miss most
about you is or you know?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
And then and then they'd go.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Through the two sisters. The older sister spoke, and what
was nice is when the sister spoke, or when the
friends got up there, there was always a wingman, somebody
else would get up there with them just for the
support of being there. One boy got up his name
was Roco, thirteen year old kid, skinny hasn't grown into
(30:47):
any part of his body yet, like awkward. He gets
up there, jumps up on the stage and he's bawling
before he begins, the only one, the only one who
was crying before he began. And they talked about how
great Jada was and they had a great time riding
bikes to school together and she would always come over
and make cookies with him. And he said she loved
(31:11):
my dad jokes. And I mean, he's this thirteen year
old bony kid bawling and he's cracking the crowd up.
She loved my dad jokes. And I'm going to tell
a dad joke to Jada right now. And he says,
what do you call two cookies who fall in love?
And I'm he's balling while he's saying, what do you
(31:31):
call two cookies that fall in line?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
This is awful?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And somebody in the crowd goes, what do you call it?
He goes a patch.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Made in heaven and just balls ball. My god.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Now the line, the line that got me was Charles's line.
Dad's line, he said, after paying this beautiful tribute to
his daughter. She's outdoorsy and she's always looking for the
next adventure. He said, I want to think of her
as she's just up ahead of us, like you're on
(32:12):
a bike trail and she's just she's just around the corner,
or you're hiking and she's just up ahead of us. Yeah,
And I thought that was such a beautiful It's such
a beautiful way to think.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
I love that. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So and then they did like a sunset swim. She
liked to swim in everybody of water she could find.
So a bunch of the kids jumped, you know, got
their swimsuits on and jumped into to Lake Tahoe. When
the sun went down, it was it was beautiful. It
was a really it was a beautiful tribute to her.
So so there we'll get back to the show.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
All right, we come back right after this.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Burbank Airport, they unload those seven thirty sevens from
the back.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, just go sit in the back. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I mean it was a wide open flight. There are
plenty empty seats. You sat in the middle somewhere. No,
I didn't sit in the middle, but I didn't sit
in the window. Some guy had had sat on the
aisle and then put his bag in the middle seat,
which is a Southwest trick. Everybody knows it. And it's
like row three and I go, hey, do you mind
if I sit in the window?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Was like.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Rolls his eyes, picks his bag up, and I'm like,
I'm just I am not getting up during the flight.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm not going to bother.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
You're not possibly been a full flight. No, is what
he was saying. Why do you have to sit in
my aisle.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Because I don't want to go twelve rows back?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You could have gone two rows back.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I could have gone all the way to the back
and been the first one off the airplane.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Since the back door. You were like, I want to
sit right next to.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You morons, and then you're kind of the moron.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, yeah, that's how I'm saying it to Okay, I'm
holding okay and I am saying moro.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
That's okay. You know these things happen, Yes, they do it.
You know it happens.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Later on, i'll talk about what the memorial service that
I went to last night, which turned out memorial services
are never easy. This one was not easy by any means,
but it was one of the most beautiful ways to
honor a thirteen year old relative of ours who was
(01:30):
killed in an accident two months ago now almost exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Eight weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
So I'll talk about that a little bit later. But Taho,
I haven't been to Tahoe in twenty five years. Beautiful,
and we.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Were right on the twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I know, I haven't been up Highway fifty.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's like easy drive for you to may eight hour drive, take.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The kids, eight hour take the kids eight hour drive.
None of that means easy to me.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I don't mean when they were two and four.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, I don't know. But we were there for sunset
and the sunset swim and everything was it was coret
I love Lake Tahoe. So there is some breaking news.
I mean breaking news, not a giant surprise news. It's
not like aliens have come down. But the House Oversight
Committee has subpoenaed a regular shipload of people for testimony
(02:22):
regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Committee chair James Comer sent a bunch
of subpoenas related to Epstein all over the place, including
Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
This is what the people have been clamoring for. Bring
in the Clintons. What do they know? What are they
guilty of? What did they do? This is a blatant
toaring to the base that wants more Epstein information. This
is all you got to do is throw in the
big sea word and you're gonna make a lot of
people happy.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But this isn't the chateaubriand kind of meat that they're
looking for. No, but it's a taste, but it's meat,
and it is some some amount of meat. Now it's
not just Democrats that were subpoenaed. You do have former
FBI director James Comy and Robert Muller directors I should
say former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder. But
(03:13):
you've also got William Barr and Jeff Sessions. And Alberto Gonzales.
Now Barr and Sessions were both attorneys general under Trump
in the first term, and Alberto Gonzalez was the attorney
general for George W. Bush, So this subpoenas go back
(03:35):
several years. Of course, these come after the same committee
voted to subpoena Gallaine Maxwell. They want to talk to her,
but they have agreed to wait until after the Supreme Court.
Here's her petition to overturn that conviction. Hillary Clinton is
being asked to appear in October. As is bill, both
(03:57):
the Attorney's General, bar and Sessions would be August eighteenth
and twenty eighth, respectively. The Obama are era attorneys general
Lynch and Holder compelled to appear next month, and then
a bunch of others. You've got Merrick Garland potentially Richard
Bob Muller sorry, and then James Comy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Cooperation is not guaranteed. We don't know if any information
will come from said subpoenas.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
We do know that the DOJ.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Released a memo last month that said there was no
client list, essentially no credible evidence that found Epstein blackmailed
prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not
uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. Essentially,
DOJ said case closed?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
When I see that that they say there's no there's
no client list. Are they arguing semantics there? I mean,
there's no potent there's no document that says client.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Lists on the top of him.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Maybe, but they weren't able to glean names and email
addresses from all of the transactions, etc.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
That this guy was involved with.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
And again not to say that they were clients in
the sex trafficking end of his business, but people that
he worked with.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I just go back to my gut instinct that there
was a reason that the power players trusted Jeff Epstein
with their fun times, and it wasn't because he was
an idiot when it came to writing things down and
keeping records of who did what.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And when with whom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I just don't think that there's this like trove of
evidence where people's names are in print or in type
or what have you and what they did.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, that would be a little too on the nose.
That seems like it would be a little too much.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Now, I wouldn't trust that guy, and these are the
richest and the most powerful people that you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The other issue that comes up with Jeffrey Epstein in
terms of the developing story is that the Justice Department
says they have an audio recording of the hours of
discussion they had last week with Glene Maxwell.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They should I mean, they talked about more than one
hundred individuals over two days, and then it was ended.
It all ended with her getting moved to this minimum
security prison where you saw pictures all weekend of Elizabeth
Holmes doing laps around the yard with five pound hand weights.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, and they have puppies there. Looks certainly really nice.
It looks like a nice little vaca.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The existence of this recording had not been reported earlier,
but the Justice Department is talking about whether or not
they should release a transcript of that conversation that she
had with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. They have been
transcribing and digitizing the recording. Portions of the transcript. Transcript
could reveal some sensitive details like victim names, so those
(06:55):
would have to be redacted, of course, but names.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I watched two episodes of that Epstein documentary.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They didn't give a crap what.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
These girls' names were let alone to keep records of them.
My god, ye, doctor, they were all just like by
the uh no, no, no, I mean Epstein and his people.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
They didn't care, they were no, I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It was all it was. It was wild. When I
was remembered about it, reminded about it. How they would
just use these girls from you know, the seaedier side
of Palm Beach to recruit other girls who were from
these broken homes. These just girls that live in the
margins of society and happened to be seventeen years old,
(07:42):
just recruited each other to make a couple extra hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Hey, you just got to go to this old guy's
house and take.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Off your clothes and rub him for an hour and
you'll get two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And that was a big deal to these girls.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And they were able to recruit hundreds of them just
by word of mouth, just for the couple hundred bucks
for Christmas spending money.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Boy, I've been waiting all day for this hot redistricting talk.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, don't sell it so well.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Sorry, should I say jerry mandering? Really slowly? No, when
did you become a party pooper?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, it's hard to get the fire started with redistricting
and then following it up with jerry mandering.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The term jerrymanderings. You want to know the etymology? Where
did it come from?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Guy named Jerry? Absolutely right?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Really yeah, the name of Governor Elbridge Jerry of Massachusetts
and salamander from the supposed similarity between a salamander and
the shape of a new voting district on a map
drawn when he was in office in eighteen twelve. Obviously,
the creation of said district felt to favor his party. Now,
(09:05):
the map that was published in the Boston Weekly Messenger
had the title the Jerry Mander, and on that map
it was printed with claws and wings and fangs, and
it added Now, I'm probably betting that it was less
likely the shape of a salamander, and more to a
(09:25):
talk about how Elbridge Jerry was seen as a slimy
lizard with his redistricting.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Listen to you, little muckraker yellow journalism.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I am a muckraker.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Let's keep in mind though, that since you said it's
eighteen twelve, I think yeah, Okay, This is not new,
this whole this issue of redistricting and one party leaving
the state so there's no quorum. It's not just Texas,
it's not just California. It's happened in states all across
the country, and it's happened since eighteen twelve.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It's happened before then.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
The the idea that somehow one party has the moral
high ground in this is not only wrong, it's dangerous
because in five years or ten years, when Democrats in
another state want to do the same thing, I'm looking
at you California and Republicans want to leave so that
(10:20):
there's no quorum. Although I don't know if it would
work in California because the super majority. But you're just
shooting yourself on the foot. You're complaining about the same
thing that your party did or will do, and it's.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Just it's.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Why do you expect these people not to be slimy salamanders?
Why is it shocking to you? You're right that they do.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
This kind of thing raatinely, because.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Every once in a while I fall for the.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I'm here to serve.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
When's the last politician that you've fallen for? When's the
last when who is the last politician where you believe
they were there for the right reasons. Gotta sound like
I'm a host on the Bachelor? Are you here for
the right reasons? But seriously, when did I find love?
I mean, I know Democrats who think that John Edwards
(11:12):
was like the last one they believed in.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Oh wow, that goes back aways, But okay, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like for me, Tom McClintock, I hold up as a
true Republican and one who got into it and stayed into.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
It for the right reasons.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Like Tom mcclintalk is a guy who's a smart guy
who is there to make things better the way he
thinks they should be better.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's who I kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Hold up, I would say on the other side, just
based on the conversation that we had with him a
year ago, as Dean Phillips.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Dean hwis a guy who was right example.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Willing to go against his party right by calling out
what he saw at the time. Was he you know,
his thoughts that Joe Biden was capable of running the
country for anyone, right, just.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because we're talking about that, can Antonio via Ragosa, I
find him. I have always found him to be extremely likable,
but having no pretense that he's in it one hundred percent.
For Antonio via Ragosa, he doesn't care about the people
the same way I don't believe Trump really cares about
the people.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There's certain guys who get into it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For number one, you just have to have that personality
to be attracted to politics and to succeed in politics.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
To be able to fund That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Texas House is scheduled to be in session at
one o'clock Dallas time, so about an hour and a
half from now. Many of the Democrats there in Texas
we told you, left the state on Sunday in protest
of this effort to call for redistricting in that state.
The point is to create a new congressional map that
(12:48):
would probably that would alter the dimensions, alter the borders
of those districts, to create five almost guaranteed Republican seats
and give Republicans a little bit more margin when it
comes to control of the House of Representatives for next
year's mid terms. Now, the Democrats that have left are
(13:09):
being put up by you know, JB. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois,
Kathy Hochel, governor of New York, and are being cheered
on by those governors and other Democrats, including Gavin Newsom,
and both Gaven Newsom and Kathy Hokeel have said that
they would try to get partisan redistricting done in their
own states as a response to Texas. And as we
(13:32):
mentioned yesterday, that is a complete one pint eighty from
Gavin Newsom. Right now, there's fifty two congressional seats in
our districts in California. Forty three of those districts are
represented by Republican I'm sorry, democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Forty three to nine is the current score.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
If you want to say that between Republicans and Democrats
in California, and the way that the governor would want
to redistrict would probably reduce the number of Republican controlled
districts down to about three in the state of California.
That's a that's an absolute, absolute mess going forward, and
(14:13):
it's not a representative democracy. It's not the way the
founding fathers thought of this. But since politicians have been politicians,
they've found ways to get around all of this. There's
somebody who is actually putting up a fight against Gavinussom
when it comes to the redistricting policies. And that's Arnold Schwarzenegger,
(14:35):
former governor.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What kind of facial hair is he dealing with? You
never know what the hair is going to say. You know,
he plays around with the goatee, with the full beard.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
It's always a thing's going on. I haven't seen him lately,
so I have not.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
A spokesperson for the former governor says he calls jerry
mandering evil and he means that he thinks it's truly
evil for politicians to take power from people. He's opposed
to what Texas is doing, and he's opposed to the
idea that California would race to the bottom to do this.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Well, see on Swarzenacer.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That's he already got enough personal attention in his life
by the time he got into politics. He was already
lauded as the best in the world. And so when
he got into politics, he didn't need the fluffing. He
did not do it for himself. He did it for
the people of California. He didn't need the special interests.
He didn't care. He didn't need the ego boost. He
(15:29):
had had a lifetime of it.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, and he I mean Thankfully he can call out
Governor Schwarzenegger Schwartzen Newsom, Sorry, Governor Newsom. Newsom is a
guy who pushed the Independent Commission on Congressional Districts. We
have an independent body in the state that we all
voted on and said, yeah, that's the better way to
do it. And now Gavin Newsom, staring down the barrel
(15:53):
of five more seats for Republicans in the House, wants
to tear that whole thing up and go back to
the way things were before. Would just mired and muddy politics.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
News some needs fluffing that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
You know what it's like the third you'd sometimes you
say things.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Just bottom line, No, I bottom line things, I bottom
line them. You got to play that dirty the way
that Gavin plays. You need fluffing. Schwarzenegger didn't need to
do that. He'd been fluffed enough. See how easy it
is to wrap your head around.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
When we come back, there is a quadruple murder suspect
that's finally been captured after a big search in Tennessee.
We've got people blaming his last trip through the incarceration
circus because it included alcohol and streaming television and seemed
like a pretty cush life in prison. He is linked
(16:48):
to four killings of relatives, left a baby in a field.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Tell you this whole saga when we come back. So
he was justice involved. Huh.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, there was a polling company that decided to finally
ask kids how to get them off their own phones.
There had been a lot of research done on what
could pry kids off the screens. This is maybe the
first of its kind, went straight to the kids to say,
what is it going to take to get you off
your phones? You may be surprised at the results of that.
(17:24):
We'll do that coming up in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Police are looking for three individual hit and run drivers,
three who hit a sixty one year old guy and
killed him in Baldwin Hills on Sunday at night. Victim
was walking near the intersection with Librea and roseland he
was hit by a car traveling northbound, hit by another
car traveling northbound, and hit by a third car traveling northbounds.
(17:49):
A bad day and not one of them stopped that
It was a bad day. Angels beat the Rays yesterday
five to one. They'll play again tonight six thirty eight.
Cardinals did beat the Dodgers three to two last night.
Take them on again tonight at Dodger Stadium, first pitches
at seven. You can listen to all Dodgers games on
AM five seventy LA Sports live from the Galpin Motors
Broadcast Booth, and stream all the Dodgers games in HD

Speaker 1 (18:14):
If you missed Friday show, you missed a lot. Check
the podcast. But we were given a show cat on Friday.
Now it's not the kind of cat you think of.
We talked about getting a cat. Well, Gary was gone
and angry, mean cat. Just put it in a cage
over there in the corner.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You wouldn't put it on the high top table that's
over now studio for no.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Right now, they'll be ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But we all had a yes. Elmer voted yes, Kenna
voted yes.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
I voted yes. But I knew that you would vote
now eventually to that, and.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
So Janet I believe sent us a lego cat which
I began to put together on Friday, and it's almost done,
except it doesn't have arms or legs. So I'm going
to do that today and then when we have our
cat completely completed so you can see its face, its body,
the whole thing, we'll post a picture of the cat
and we'll name it altogether. Now we have a couple.
(19:06):
We got a couple suggestions on Friday, none of which
I remember.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
A lot of standouts. Well, no, booty. Booty was the standout.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, brick bricks, I think it was bricks. There was
one that was clever, and I know who it was, Fron,
So let me pull it up here.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Let's see here. It was legless.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Oh yeah, and that was interesting because it had some
sort of reference to gain.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
The right lord of the rings.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Lord, I knew it was something that I know nothing about,
so so let us know. But we will post the
picture of Gary and Channen coming up later once I
finished the arms.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And the legs.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Austin Drummond is a quadruple murder suspect out of Tennessee.
They're looking for this twenty eight year old guy allegedly
killed James Wilson twenty one, Adriana Williams twenty, Courtney Rose
thirty eight, Braden Williams fifteen.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They've got him now, Oh, they do have him, Okay, good, Yeah,
they arrested him this morning. There was a lockdown, as
you can imagine, for local residents overnight. Two kind of
town areas were told to shelter in place. There was
surveillance video that made the rounds of this guy approaching
a local church while armed with a rifle. He is
(20:28):
said to be related to all those people that you
laid out that he killed. The bodies were discovered about
five days ago, five or six days ago, and an
infant was found on the front lawn of a random
individual's house. He is the infant is related to all
four victims. It is the daughter of two of them,
(20:51):
the granddaughter of one, and the niece of one of
the victims as well. The guy who killed everybody served
thirteen years in a Tennessee prison. This is one of
those stories of even the bad guys when they're sent away,
get extra chances. We're all given so many chances, right,
and some of us get more chances than others.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was given some good chances here.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, I assume he did hard time, and by hard
time like breaking rocks and stuff like that, you know, dirty,
moldy cell breaking window.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Now thirteen years in a Tennessee prison.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
He was there convicted of aggravated robbery and retaliation. And
to your question, no, he had a Roku inside. He
had at least one cell phone. He had a pantry
filled with food. He had a bottle at least, according
to one picture of Siroc vodka. Your your favorite favorite,
your favorite vodkas. You love it, and you love it
(21:50):
so much of your own name.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
For it until the Diddy thing. Oh right, so Roc
he's given up on Johnson and Johnson's baby oil. Oh yeah, yeah,
I used to be a big fan. So what are
you using instead? Uh?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So rock? He wrote almost home, living it up till
I get there. Just a year before he was released,
he was able to post that picture of him in
his bottle of vodka. The prison wardens now are getting
hell for not doing their job correctly. They're being charged,
or at least publicly charged with irresponsibility, neglect, recklessness. But
(22:29):
it's going all the way up senior management staff. The
captain's a deputy ward in the lieutenant. They're supposed to
have frequent checks of the cells. The experts say shakedowns.
If you know, if you're in the no part of
the policy, part of the protocol in the state prison
system as well as a federal prison system. But that
is absolutely possible that he knew somebody who worked in
the prison. Now, when he killed these four people, he
(22:52):
was out on bond and related to another attempted murder charge.
He gets out on September of last year. By dec
he's wanted for attempted murder again and then is free
to kill these four people.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
A couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
In terms of getting the stuff in prison, he had
been charged four times with getting contraband into the prison.
And I don't know the individual cases.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
But.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
You can charge him, but you don't know where he's
getting it from. Like, shouldn't other people be charged in
that as well? I mean Department of Corrections Tennessee officials
should be on the hook for this.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, And who's on the hook for letting somebody like
this out and free to kill four more people? But
that baby man parents shot and killed. We don't know
why he was related to all of them, but he
saved the baby, left it in that field. But the
parents of the baby, the grandmother of the baby, the
uncle of the baby, all killed.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Up next, I'll relate to you my experience from last night.
And my wife pointed out to me, I don't use
a lot of I phrases when I talk about this stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So I'm going to try to use I phrases.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Okay when I tell you about this memorialatives that last night.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, I'd hear the ready space and I'll do my legos.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
A couple of stories that we are following the Justice
Department's opening a federal grand jury investigation of some former
Obama administration officials who may have conspired to whip up
a scandal about President Trump and then purported links to Russia.
This development opens the door to criminal charges against some
of the prominent cabinet members who served President Obama, including
(24:54):
the former d n I James Clapper, former CIA director
John Brennan, former FBI director James Camy. Not clear yet
if this grand jury is going to be based in
DC or somewhere else. Lakerstar Lebron James is reportedly involved
in a major project that could launch a basketball league
(25:15):
that would rival the NBA. He's made a bunch of
investments throughout his career and is currently a shareholder in
a group called Fenway Sports Group, which owns several sports teams,
and they said as a result, James the first active
player to become a billionaire and his wealth could help
fund this new international league that they say would compete
(25:39):
with the NBA.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
We have a wellness segment coming up in the next
hour where we're going to be talking about big wellness.
It's like big tobacco, but wellness. There are a few
things outlined in this article and wired about the ridiculous,
the ridiculous, gimmicky things that we should Is it worth
our time or not?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Or our time? We'll get into it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So last night yesterday did the show from my sister's
she shed in her backyard in fulsome outside of Sacramento,
and we were up north because a family member was killed.
A thirteen year old family member of ours was killed
in accident a couple months ago, and it was an
(26:22):
opportunity for us to hold the to have the memorial
service for young Jada. She was killed in near her
home in South Lake Tahoe back at the beginning of
June in an accident she was on a bike and
she was hit by a car.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It was one of those. It was an experience. I
had the experience. I words, eye phrases. I had the experience.
My sister married her high school sweetheart. This is her
husband's sister that lost the daughter. So, and we all
went to school together. So Kelly mom was a year
(27:03):
younger than a year behind me in school. So we
had a lot of common friends, et cetera. And in fact,
I saw a bunch of them last night, which is
weird outside of the context of some sort of high
school reunion. It's very weird to see faces of people
that you remember when they were seventeen and you haven't
seen them since, right.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
And it's hard to know what to say at a
high school reunion, and here you are at a memorial
for a little girl.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, so it was. It was gorgeous. We were on
the shores of Lake Tahoe where they lived, and there
were hundreds of people there. I mean to the point
where they shuttled in people from outside parking lots. They
shuttled them in to this venue for this event. And
(27:48):
it was in the afternoon and it was beautiful because
the sun was setting. It was a gorgeous day in Tahoe. Charles,
the dad, Joda's dad, came to me and they they
had all attended my parents' memorials. So he came to
me and said, you've done this before. You know, you've
spoken before. How do you do it? And I had
(28:11):
I didn't know what to say to him, like, well,
I spoke at the memorials for two old people, like yes,
they were my parents. But this wasn't a sudden event,
and this was not a thing that I had to
think of off the top of my This was planned
well in the future. I mean, we knew that this
was coming. You've lost a thirteen year old. I don't
(28:32):
know what to say. And he said, well, I'm going
to take your advice. I said something during my father's
memorial while I was speaking, and I said, if my
voice cracks, you'll have to apologize. I'm going to speak
louder so I don't cry. And he said, I think
I'm going to say that. I'm going to use that line.
And I said, you can do whatever you want. Whatever
you want he spoke first. I'll tell you what he
(28:55):
said later, because I think if he had gone last,
the place would have just crumbled. But he spoke first
and was incredibly gracious about his thirteen year old daughter.
And he's got a nineteen year old and a sixteen
year old still also daughters that he's still got to
be the dad of. But they had a special He
(29:16):
and his youngest daughter had a very special connection. Loved
the outdoors, loved bike riding and hiking and camping and
skiing and.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
All that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Mom spoke, Kelly spoke, which again, how you could get
up and memorialize a daughter like that, a kid that
age is difficult. And then Joda's friends got up and
they were incredibly poised for having just lost their friend.
And I'm sitting there feeling like someone is punching me
(29:49):
in the throat over and over and over again. And
the moments that got me were when, I mean, they
talk about Joda and how fun she was, and these
fun anecdotes of stories and the times that she would
cheer them up, and the times that she would include
people that were kind of on the outside, the outskirts
of the group, and she was just a lovely kid.
(30:11):
It's when they spoke to her directly and they would,
you know, they they'd start with their stories, and then
they would say, but Jada, what I'm gonna miss most
about you is or you know?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
And then and then they'd go.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Through the two sisters. The older sister spoke, and what
was nice is when the sister spoke, or when the
friends got up there, there was always a wingman, somebody
else would get up there with them just for the
support of being there. One boy got up his name
was Roco, thirteen year old kid, skinny hasn't grown into
(30:47):
any part of his body yet, like awkward. He gets
up there, jumps up on the stage and he's bawling
before he begins, the only one, the only one who
was crying before he began. And they talked about how
great Jada was and they had a great time riding
bikes to school together and she would always come over
and make cookies with him. And he said she loved
(31:11):
my dad jokes. And I mean, he's this thirteen year
old bony kid bawling and he's cracking the crowd up.
She loved my dad jokes. And I'm going to tell
a dad joke to Jada right now. And he says,
what do you call two cookies who fall in love?
And I'm he's balling while he's saying, what do you
(31:31):
call two cookies that fall in line?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
This is awful?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And somebody in the crowd goes, what do you call it?
He goes a patch.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Made in heaven and just balls ball. My god.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Now the line, the line that got me was Charles's line.
Dad's line, he said, after paying this beautiful tribute to
his daughter. She's outdoorsy and she's always looking for the
next adventure. He said, I want to think of her
as she's just up ahead of us, like you're on
(32:12):
a bike trail and she's just she's just around the corner,
or you're hiking and she's just up ahead of us. Yeah,
And I thought that was such a beautiful It's such
a beautiful way to think.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
I love that. It's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
So and then they did like a sunset swim. She
liked to swim in everybody of water she could find.
So a bunch of the kids jumped, you know, got
their swimsuits on and jumped into to Lake Tahoe. When
the sun went down, it was it was beautiful. It
was a really it was a beautiful tribute to her.
So so there we'll get back to the show.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
All right, we come back right after this.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
