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. I did dip into the ice coffee.
I thought i'd try it out. And there's something about
iced coffee that hits me a little bit stronger. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Is it the ice.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Because listen, you walked in here and you stood by
the window for probably three minutes and didn't move.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you just stood right there.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I was soaking in the sunlight. And then I had
a Jerry Maguire moment.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And the manifesto has begun, it has it has And
this is the ice coffee, which we'll wear off in
about thirteen minutes, so we'll be fine. We just got
to ride this out, batten down the hatches and ride
it out.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Don't make direct eye contact for too long.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We should be just fine.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
We've got big trans news in the Supreme Court. I
have an admission to make.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You were born a man?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Probably No, I was not. But I heard this story.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Twice three times this morning on various different news reports
and radio stations. And as soon as I heard Supreme
Court transgender my mind turned off. I heard this story
three times this morning, and my mind turned off. Now
it's not because I am an awful person and don't care.
(01:41):
It's because I think that this is an issue that
has become so blown out of proportion to the point
of going to the Supreme Court in several different variations
that I can't I can't even digest it because how
many people? Does this affect? Point zero two percent of
the population.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
It is weird that we in some cases, in some
of these Supreme Court cases, it is a very small
number of people that are affected, but doesn't mean it
doesn't test whatever laws we have on the book.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I want everybody to live their lives, regardless of how
they want to live them. I don't like the Supreme
Court weighing in on anyone's life. I want people to
be able to have all the rights that everyone else
has under the Constitution. But I don't want to be
hit over the head with it all the time when
we're talking about so few people. Yeah, sorry, iced coffee,
(02:38):
No kidding anyway, the Supreme Court is upholding a law
from Tennessee restricts gender transition care for miners. We'll get
into it coming up at the bottom of the hour.
What it all means is this for children who want
the surgeries or the drugs, and mom and dad don't
say yes, or.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, it is for anyone who's under the age.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
If the state decides anyone under the age of eighteen
wants this sort of transitional care or surgery or whatever,
the state has the right to say no until they
turn agent good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh so I support this, Yeah, I mean, to me,
it's what you were going to say.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I was going to be very upset that the state
can say yes when you're under eighteen to some sort
of chemistry altering chemicals going into your brains, even if
you're even if you're younger than twenty five, that shouldn't
happen because your brain has not developed.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You And I know that. I don't know why not
everybody knows.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That President Trump was outside the White House today. They're
setting up finally those giant flagpoles that he's been talking about,
So they're doing that today. And while he was out
there with the construction workers who are going to put
up these flagpoles, he was answering questions. Obviously, the big
question is what are we the United States going to
(04:04):
do about Iran.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Let me turn that on. Give you this one over here, Elmer.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You don't know that I'm gonna even do it.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
You don't know. I may do it, I may not
do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
I can tell you this that Iran's got a lot
of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I said,
why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death
and destruction? Why inn't you negot I said to the people,
why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You
(04:32):
could have done fine. You would have had a country.
It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never
I've never seen.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Anything like it.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
So you and everyone thought it was going to be
the reverse.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I didn't think so. And I was telling him you
got to you got to do something, you got to negotiate,
and at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're
not going to do that, and they got hit.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There was an interesting thing that he added to this. Again,
we don't know the veracity. He's been wrong about phone
calls recently and stuff like this, but he did say
RANI leaders have reached out to him.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
They even suggested they come to the White House. It's
a big difference, but they've suggested that they come to
the White House. That's, you know, courageous, but you know
it's like not easy for them to do, but they suggest.
Because I can't go now because of what's going on.
I had to come back early from the G seven,
which was terrific by the way, in Canada, really terrific,
(05:25):
good people.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Again, I don't know what the plan is in terms
of negotiations.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Iran Supreme leader today rejected US calls for surrender, warned
that any military involvement by the Americans would cause irreparable
damage to them. Those are the words from Iran to
America now. The Washington Post says that Trump's current posture
could rebound in unpredicted ways if he succeeds in getting
(05:52):
the concessions from Iran to dismantle their nuclear program or
destroy it in Florida without by military force, without provoking
a major retaliation. He is going to take a victory lap,
hailed as a president whose unpredictable approach to foreign policy
means results. Again, this is coming from the Washington Post,
not me. Mishandling. The situation, they say, could pull Washington
(06:18):
into a major conflict with dangerous and unpredictable consequences for
US citizens. Could also lead to a nuclear armed Iran,
which would be also very, very bad. So the way
that they're spinning this unpredictability is half and half could
(06:41):
be favorable to me. It's unsettling to hear maybe we
bomb him, maybe we don't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I don't know. No one knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's it's disconcerting, But also what President's going to come
out and be completely transparent about what he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Bless you, bless you. No president should do that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
No, and nobody does so, I mean usually they remain
tight lipped. You're not going to hear the president, whoever
it is, on the mic talking about what he is
going to do about Iran. This is just what Trump
came out and said, you don't know what I'm going
to do. But it comes across as flippant because he's like,
nobody knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Well and from the military angle, hr McMaster, former National
security advisor to the first term, Trump, has some comments
about that that will play in a second, but also
there is a specific weapon that they keep talking about,
these bunker busters, these massive ordnance penetrator bombs.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
We're the only ones who can drop those bombs.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I told you that I have a friend up in
the Annealog Valley who has been seeing the B two
bomber cruising around unsuspectingly.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
This is what that baby carries.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, this is it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We'll talk about the MOP and the state of Iran's military.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
We come back.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tomorrow is June teenth.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A lot of people off for June teenth.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Is it odd that they.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Do it on a Thursday, in the middle of the
week and they don't wait like a Monday or a Friday?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Or is that they're just a tethered to the date?
I see, that's what it is. All right, Back to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Our conversation about Iran, President Trump choosing not to tip
his hand, like I said earlier, why would he what
president would on whether or not the US plans to
strike Iran.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
We're talking about the specific damage to the military air
defense systems, the missile systems, and now we're talking about
infrastructure issues that Iran is having. All because of the
barrage over the last I think we're now six nights
in to Israeli missiles, drones and fighter pilots that are
dropping bombs on different parts of Iran. Hr McMaster, retired
(08:56):
Lieutenant General, is also a former National Secure the advisor
to President Trump in the first term.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Iran is in a position of profound weakness. I mean,
what Israel's done to them, I mean, it's just astounding
to me. I mean, I mean, I knew that they
were capable, but but you know, they've taken out the
whole nuclear supply chain.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You know, there are still these.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Deep bird sites as you alluded to at Fedor and
and and one other deep bird site as well. They've
taken out the missiles, a lot of their missile capability,
the missile supply chain. Military leadership, they took at the
head of the of their armed forces, the RGC and
the army, and then three days later they took out
the guy who took his job from him. You know,
then you have them going after now the arms of repression,
(09:38):
you know, the besiege and the other brutal forces that
repressed the Iranian people, energy targets. There's just been a
massive cyber attack on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps banking system.
And then you know the question is do they go
at your leadership? Is this really a regime change type operation?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
The specifics of whether or not the United States would
get in in offensive action towards Iran centers on whether
or not Iran, sorry, whether or not Israel has the
capability of penetrating those underground nuclear facilities.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
They don't. That's where we come in.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's where we get that's right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They do not have the technology that we have to
go after those underground facilities. We do have the massive
ordnance penetrator, the what they call the bunker busting bomb.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
If we were to.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Target and destroy Tehran's underground facilities that enrich this nuclear material,
this would fall to a small number of Air Force
strategic bombers that are capable of delivering that thirty thousand
pound precision guided bomb designed to destroy subterranean targets. It's
called the GBU fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's GPS guided in its specific even well defended targets
to destroy what otherwise ordinary bombs couldn't reach. Now we
know what the capabilities of the GBU fifty seven was
a couple decades ago, which was that it could penetrate
up to about two hundred feet below ground.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's probably better than that. Now.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It can probably go deeper. And the reason it can
do that is that there's two charges in it. The
first charge obviously would hit whatever concrete or layer above
the important stuff was, which allows that second charge to
go deeper into the mountain and then explode and blow
the nuclear parts to pieces.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
As I mention, the B two Spirit Stealth bomber is
the only Air Force aircraft that can deploy the MOP
because of that thirty thousand pound weight. There are nineteen
operational B twos according to the.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Air Force that we know about.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Traveling at subsonic speeds but capable of mid air refueling,
the B two can fly quite the distance. During Kosovo,
the B two pilots flew round trips from Whiteman Air
Force Base in.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Missouri to strike targets in Kosovo.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
In twenty seventeen, a pair of B twos flew thirty
four hours to hit camps in Libya.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wow, that's a long flight.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I don't know the bathroom facilities are on a B two,
but I can't imagine that they're very luxurious.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
A freaking NonStop thirty four hours.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
We do know that the most deeply buried nuclear enrichment
site is fod Oh, and we've talked about it multiple times,
and the Tan's was the one a few years ago.
But Fordah is is there a more important one? Shall
we say? The facility is all the way underground, carved
into a mountain side. The inspectors for the UN who
viewed fod Doh noted tunnels with very thick walls, blastproof doors,
(12:50):
some bunkers protected by up to three hundred feet of rock,
ostensibly designed to produce uranium enrich for about twenty percent.
That's not necessarily enough for a nuclear weapon. But the
IAEA report, remember we told you about that last week,
that came out and said that it looks like they're
(13:12):
trying to enrich uranium to the point they could use
it in a weapon. And then Iran gave them double birds,
and then Israel bond the everliving crap out of them. Well,
they said in the ia raate EA report that they
had increased the production of sixty percent enriched uranium, approaching
that ninety percent level which would be required for a
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Now, even if we hit the two sides we know about,
that may not be the end of Iran's nuclear program,
because obviously they're going to have other stuff we don't
know about, or that we don't pretend we don't know
about exactly. So there's that, But it seems like these
are the two massive payloads that if we were to strike,
(13:54):
it would be very targeted. And this is the kind
of stuff I've got to believe, putting together all the
things I have learned about President Trump, this is right.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Up his ally. He loves it, loves it, can't wait
to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We didn't see any.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Discussion, any response, any media statement even about what happened
in that meeting yesterday between him and the National Security
Council in the situation room.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah, nobody said anything about that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
If I'm a betting man, this happens.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
There is also just to kind of give you an
idea of what the life is like in Iran right
now appears to be under total internet blackout, the results
of a combination not just of censorship that would be
imposed by the Iranian regime. They're trying to hide just
how badly their pants are being handed to him right now,
but also the cyber attacks against the Internet's infrastructure and
(14:53):
the cell phone infrastructure by Israel. So it looks like
the Internet is broken in all of a ron right now.
Anything develops will definitely bring it to you live.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Lucky you don't have to worry about hockey fans for
another couple of months. Florida Panthers are the Stanley Cup
champs again after a five to one win over the
Eminonton Oilers. They celebrated, of course, on the ice in
Florida with the Stanley Cup and then broke it. They
broke one of the pieces of the rim of that
thing before they even took it off of the ice.
So Pacers thunder Game six. The NBA Finals will be
(15:34):
tomorrow night. Angels beat the Yankees for nothing. The Yankees
have been shut out three straight games. That is tied
for the record for the franchise of the New York Yankees.
They'll play again tonight. Four oh five. Dodgers beat the
Padres again eight to six after both Fernando Tatist and
show hey Otani hit by pitches. Dave Roberts was actually
(15:55):
ejected after complaining about all of that.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So tonight Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Take on the Padres at Dodge Stadium again, first pitches
at seven on gold Player Jersey Night. Listen to all
the Dodgers games on a five to seventy LA Sports
live from that Galpin Motors Broadcast booth and stream all
the Dodgers games NHD on the iHeartRadio app. Use that
keyword AM five to seventy LA Sports. The Supreme Court
(16:19):
handed down a decision today that upholds a ban on
gender affirming care for minors. This is out of the
state of Tennessee six to three decision by the conservative majority.
Since twenty twenty, some Republican led states around the country
have passed a bunch of laws that regulate the lives
(16:41):
of people who say they are trans with a particular
focus on anybody under the age of eighteen. President Trump
campaigned on this as part of the platform he wanted
to end what he referred to as transgender lunacy. About
half of the states have laws similar to Tennessee's. It's
(17:04):
kind of bounced around the federal courts. They've had split
opinions on whether or not the state can create a
law that disallows certain gender affirming care. I've always hated
that term, but that kind of care for anybody under
the age of eighteen.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What an awful term, especially when you're talking about changing
the brain chemistry of a minor, sometimes without a parent's consent.
It should not be called gender affirming care. It's one
thing to have, and I I'm sorry, it's.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
One thing to have therapeutic I don't even know what
therapy period. For somebody who's like, I don't think I'm
belong in this bime, I'm all about that totally. And
here's the thing. There's a lot of people who feel
that way, and we give them eight or ten years
and we're going to it sounds it sounds crass. We're
(18:07):
gonna see if it works itself out. Yeah, listen. And
the threat that your kid is going to commit suicide
because they don't feel then stop putting pressure on them
to make decisions about which way they have.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To go therapy. All of that I'm all for.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's when you get into using a scalpel or changing
brain chemistry with drugs and pills on a child, that that's.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The line for me, because you're right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
When you're a kid, for the most part, wait ninety seconds,
your feelings will change. They will, they will evaporate the
or wait three years and they change. What's the rush,
especially because it's detrimental when you do those things that
early to the body forever. You know, if you're playing
(18:57):
the long game of health for your child or for you,
or for kids that aren't even your children. And that's
the part of it that really bothers me, when the
government or courts make decisions for children that they don't
even know if you're playing the long game for the health,
the long game says, wait, yeah, for the overall health
(19:18):
and the longevity of your health for your lifespan.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
We've said in you know, somewhat tongue in cheek, but
research has proven that brains do not solidify. I mean,
we talk about, you know, adolescent boys who at the
age of twenty three or twenty four still don't have
everything cooking right there. I mean, and that's just as
it as a sidelight. This specific case deals with the
(19:42):
state of Tennessee's Senate Bill Number one, which is now law.
It bans hormone therapy and puberty blockers for any transgender
minor in Tennessee and would impose civil penalties for doctors
who violate those provisions. Tennessee also does have a ban
on gender affirming surgery, but that didn't wasn't part of
(20:03):
this case because it passed after it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
It only passed a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It would take time for that one to get to
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I believe there's more in the There is a chance
that it is a miniscule chance where your kid will
commit suicide if they can't be who they want to
be yesterday, right away. Miniscule chance. There's a much greater
chance of a kid who wants attention or is just
confused that goes through all of this for not who
(20:34):
made the wrong decision and then to reverse it is
so detrimental to the health and so iffy and so
risky and so awful. There's a much greater chance that
a kid who's just like, maybe that sounds cool, maybe
I do want to be a boy, and like takes
it too far, takes it the distance that changes his
or her mind.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
There's a much greater chance for that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And who's protecting those kids who are the major already
of teenagers when you are so impressionable and you're so
hungry for attention and you want to do what other
people are doing.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And there's two things that can be true. You can
believe that puberty blockers and hormone therapy are inherently bad
for bodies that young, just bad despite what the what
the purpose of them would be right is to change
their bodies so that their body feels like what their
(21:30):
head is telling them. They're just inherently bad for bodies
that size. You can believe that, and also believe anybody
who's fourteen and believes that they're in the wrong body
needs a lot of help. They need a lot of support,
they need a lot of love. They first, before you
medically intervene, you have got to surround that kid with love. Yeah,
(21:51):
and I know, listen, they're going to be people who
yell yeah, but their parents hate them because they're Republican.
No no, no, no roof and f your idea that this
is a politically this comes down to a parenting issue.
This is your kid. If you don't want it, then
then you're a dumb house. You're the one who stayed in. Sorry,
you're the one who anyway, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Get really mad.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You have a responsibility for whatever happens with your kid,
and in the event that your kid comes to you
and says, I've been talking to some people.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I think that this is going on in my head.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'm not sure that I'm supposed to be a girl,
or I'm not sure I'm supposed to be a boy,
or I don't know what I am. Then stop putting
pressure on them to make those decisions.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Hey, don't need to make that decision in this house.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It doesn't matter. In this house. You lean whatever you want.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
In this house, we're going to protect you and keep
you safe, and we're going to do all these things
for you. I'm not gonna change I'm not going to
physically change your body right now, because it still has
plenty of changes that it's got to go through on
its own time.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, who's calling?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Somebody? Is it?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I don't know who calls me on this line.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Is it that girl who used to send you the nudes?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I doubt it because it's coming through the main it
says the main auto attendant.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What does that mean? I think it's a call. I
think it's from within the building. The call is coming
from the inside.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Well, let's figure it out. That'll be fun. They they
never leave messages though they never leave Is somebody forwarding
a call to your cell phone? Is that's?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Is that? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, we don't have phones any I know that's terrifying
if we're getting calls that are to come here to
our cell phone. Yay, Gary and Shanda will continue ice impersonators.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
You knew this was coming.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I'm actually disappointed in myself for not thinking cynically enough
to think about this coming.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yep, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yesterday, you mentioned something about I screwed up and said
that the game was in Edmonton. Someone corrected me and
said it's in Florida, and I took it back, and
then you said who cares something.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
To that effect.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I know that people care, and there's a ton I mean,
I know the Kings fans are strong, strong nation out here,
but I meant, who cares? Because it's Edmonton and the Panthers,
and I know there's Edmonton fans everywhere despite the fact
they haven't won since nineteen ninety that's crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That's a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Lost of the Panthers twice now in the Stanley Cup Finals.
But I don't know a Florida Panthers fan. It's kind
of like, I'll throw it out there, Carolina Panthers, I
don't know a Carolina Panthers fan. There's just some franchises
where here in California. I just don't know of fans
for this particular franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
There are some franchises where, for example, you're gonna have
Yankees fans everywhere everywhere. You're gonna have Dodgers fans, yeah,
every where, but in a smaller mark Fort Lauderdale. I
don't remember the exact Sunshine Coast. I don't remember exactly
how the Panther's arena is. But outside of that, you're
not going to have a lot of Outside of Florida,
there probably aren't a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Of Florida Panthers fans, right, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
A bunch of stories that we are following. Of course,
things continue to go crazy with Iran. Wall Street Journal
is reporting that Israel might be running low on some
of its defensive missiles. The arrow interceptors. Of course, the
United States has been aware of the capacity problem for months.
We have been ramping up our production to help them
(25:40):
with systems on the ground, and of course, since the
conflict escalated in this month, the Pentagon has sent more
missile defense assets into the region. The Iranian Supreme Leader
did say that his country will not surrender and warn
that any US military intervention would bring irreparable consequences.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Christy Noam was here at LA.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Last week, had to be taken the hospital last night,
taken by ambulance to a DC area hospital because of
an allergic reaction. They haven't said what it was what
she was allergic to, but Newsweek was reporting that she
also happened to be inspecting the biological hazard labs at
Fort Dietrich yesterday or on Monday.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I was thinking about this allergic reaction, and I was thinking,
if you're Christie Noam and the high profile nature of
what she's been doing in the past week or what
have you, and you get an allergic reaction, which all
too often comes with a feeling that your throat is closing,
that you can't breathe, I would totally be freaking out.
(26:45):
That there was a poison element or something like that.
I mean, not like all Russia, but just that I
would be on edge because you know, she's we get
death threats, but like that, she gets a number of
threats personally and what have you, to the point of
you would be on guard. You would be super sensitive
to that kind of a thing.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I didn't think about that. That's a yeah. LA County
Supervisor Catherine Barger has suggested that some of the people
that we have seen detaining residents around southern California might
not be immigration officials, that they might actually be bad
players impersonating immigration enforcement officers. Her example of that was
(27:30):
a godson of one of her staff members was recently
pulled over by a couple of guys in an unmarked
car with flashing lights, and whoever these two guys were.
One of them said he had a nice truck for
someone with that surname. One man asked him to get
out of the car. The other was trying to open
the side door. As people on the street began to
(27:51):
record that confrontation, the two men drove away, and what
Catherine Barger said was, I tell you the story because
we don't know if they were ICE agents or not,
And then Supervisor Janis Hahn, who is the all seeing,
all knowing, omnipotent person, apparently said it isn't people impersonating ICE.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
If I'm a criminal and I see that people are
afraid of ICE, I'm going to rob them and pretend
I'm Ice.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
There's absolutely opportunities for.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Them to do this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, it's easy to get tactical gear. It's easy to
get into a vehicle. First of all, the people in
the ICE, the ICE agents aren't always traveling in marked vehicles.
In fact, they're traveling in just everyday trucks and other
vehicles all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
So why wouldn't you be able to do that if you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Were intent on harm or robbing people or using this
to your benefit as a criminal.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
She points out.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Catherine Barker points out something that has really fallen through
the cracks on behalf of ICE, and I would fault
them for this, She said. She called Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to report this thing, but she never heard back.
ICE has not been flooding the zone with information, which
is an opportunity for that agency to explain what it
is that they do on a regular basis. I mean,
(29:09):
it's clear what they what Christy Noam says they're doing,
but it doesn't appear that there's a robust media liaison
office for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement for them to be
able to get this information out there on a regular basis.
And when something like this happens, it's an opportunity for
them to score some points and go, Yes, we're going
to find those guys. We're going to prosecute them to
(29:30):
the fullest extent of the law. And she said they
never got back to her.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So all right.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Tonight the Dodgers take on the Padres Dodger Stadium, first pitch,
seven o'clock.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Next on Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
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. I did dip into the ice coffee.
I thought i'd try it out. And there's something about
iced coffee that hits me a little bit stronger. I
don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Is it the ice.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Because listen, you walked in here and you stood by
the window for probably three minutes and didn't move.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you just stood right there.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I was soaking in the sunlight. And then I had
a Jerry Maguire moment.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And the manifesto has begun, it has it has And
this is the ice coffee, which we'll wear off in
about thirteen minutes, so we'll be fine. We just got
to ride this out, batten down the hatches and ride
it out.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Don't make direct eye contact for too long.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We should be just fine.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
We've got big trans news in the Supreme Court. I
have an admission to make.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You were born a man?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Probably No, I was not. But I heard this story.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Twice three times this morning on various different news reports
and radio stations. And as soon as I heard Supreme
Court transgender my mind turned off. I heard this story
three times this morning, and my mind turned off. Now
it's not because I am an awful person and don't care.
(01:41):
It's because I think that this is an issue that
has become so blown out of proportion to the point
of going to the Supreme Court in several different variations
that I can't I can't even digest it because how
many people? Does this affect? Point zero two percent of
the population.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
It is weird that we in some cases, in some
of these Supreme Court cases, it is a very small
number of people that are affected, but doesn't mean it
doesn't test whatever laws we have on the book.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I want everybody to live their lives, regardless of how
they want to live them. I don't like the Supreme
Court weighing in on anyone's life. I want people to
be able to have all the rights that everyone else
has under the Constitution. But I don't want to be
hit over the head with it all the time when
we're talking about so few people. Yeah, sorry, iced coffee,
(02:38):
No kidding anyway, the Supreme Court is upholding a law
from Tennessee restricts gender transition care for miners. We'll get
into it coming up at the bottom of the hour.
What it all means is this for children who want
the surgeries or the drugs, and mom and dad don't
say yes, or.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, it is for anyone who's under the age.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
If the state decides anyone under the age of eighteen
wants this sort of transitional care or surgery or whatever,
the state has the right to say no until they
turn agent good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh so I support this, Yeah, I mean, to me,
it's what you were going to say.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I was going to be very upset that the state
can say yes when you're under eighteen to some sort
of chemistry altering chemicals going into your brains, even if
you're even if you're younger than twenty five, that shouldn't
happen because your brain has not developed.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You And I know that. I don't know why not
everybody knows.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That President Trump was outside the White House today. They're
setting up finally those giant flagpoles that he's been talking about,
So they're doing that today. And while he was out
there with the construction workers who are going to put
up these flagpoles, he was answering questions. Obviously, the big
question is what are we the United States going to
(04:04):
do about Iran.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Let me turn that on. Give you this one over here, Elmer.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You don't know that I'm gonna even do it.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
You don't know. I may do it, I may not
do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.
I can tell you this that Iran's got a lot
of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I said,
why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death
and destruction? Why inn't you negot I said to the people,
why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You
(04:32):
could have done fine. You would have had a country.
It's very sad to watch this. I mean, I've never
I've never seen.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Anything like it.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
So you and everyone thought it was going to be
the reverse.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I didn't think so. And I was telling him you
got to you got to do something, you got to negotiate,
and at the end, last minute, they said, no, we're
not going to do that, and they got hit.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There was an interesting thing that he added to this. Again,
we don't know the veracity. He's been wrong about phone
calls recently and stuff like this, but he did say
RANI leaders have reached out to him.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
They even suggested they come to the White House. It's
a big difference, but they've suggested that they come to
the White House. That's, you know, courageous, but you know
it's like not easy for them to do, but they suggest.
Because I can't go now because of what's going on.
I had to come back early from the G seven,
which was terrific by the way, in Canada, really terrific,
(05:25):
good people.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Again, I don't know what the plan is in terms
of negotiations.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Iran Supreme leader today rejected US calls for surrender, warned
that any military involvement by the Americans would cause irreparable
damage to them. Those are the words from Iran to
America now. The Washington Post says that Trump's current posture
could rebound in unpredicted ways if he succeeds in getting
(05:52):
the concessions from Iran to dismantle their nuclear program or
destroy it in Florida without by military force, without provoking
a major retaliation. He is going to take a victory lap,
hailed as a president whose unpredictable approach to foreign policy
means results. Again, this is coming from the Washington Post,
not me. Mishandling. The situation, they say, could pull Washington
(06:18):
into a major conflict with dangerous and unpredictable consequences for
US citizens. Could also lead to a nuclear armed Iran,
which would be also very, very bad. So the way
that they're spinning this unpredictability is half and half could
(06:41):
be favorable to me. It's unsettling to hear maybe we
bomb him, maybe we don't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I don't know. No one knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It's it's disconcerting, But also what President's going to come
out and be completely transparent about what he's going to do.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Bless you, bless you. No president should do that.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
No, and nobody does so, I mean usually they remain
tight lipped. You're not going to hear the president, whoever
it is, on the mic talking about what he is
going to do about Iran. This is just what Trump
came out and said, you don't know what I'm going
to do. But it comes across as flippant because he's like,
nobody knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Well and from the military angle, hr McMaster, former National
security advisor to the first term, Trump, has some comments
about that that will play in a second, but also
there is a specific weapon that they keep talking about,
these bunker busters, these massive ordnance penetrator bombs.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
We're the only ones who can drop those bombs.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I told you that I have a friend up in
the Annealog Valley who has been seeing the B two
bomber cruising around unsuspectingly.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
This is what that baby carries.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, this is it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We'll talk about the MOP and the state of Iran's military.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
We come back.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Tomorrow is June teenth.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A lot of people off for June teenth.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Is it odd that they.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Do it on a Thursday, in the middle of the
week and they don't wait like a Monday or a Friday?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Or is that they're just a tethered to the date?
I see, that's what it is. All right, Back to.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Our conversation about Iran, President Trump choosing not to tip
his hand, like I said earlier, why would he what
president would on whether or not the US plans to
strike Iran.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
We're talking about the specific damage to the military air
defense systems, the missile systems, and now we're talking about
infrastructure issues that Iran is having. All because of the
barrage over the last I think we're now six nights
in to Israeli missiles, drones and fighter pilots that are
dropping bombs on different parts of Iran. Hr McMaster, retired
(08:56):
Lieutenant General, is also a former National Secure the advisor
to President Trump in the first term.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Iran is in a position of profound weakness. I mean,
what Israel's done to them, I mean, it's just astounding
to me. I mean, I mean, I knew that they
were capable, but but you know, they've taken out the
whole nuclear supply chain.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You know, there are still these.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Deep bird sites as you alluded to at Fedor and
and and one other deep bird site as well. They've
taken out the missiles, a lot of their missile capability,
the missile supply chain. Military leadership, they took at the
head of the of their armed forces, the RGC and
the army, and then three days later they took out
the guy who took his job from him. You know,
then you have them going after now the arms of repression,
(09:38):
you know, the besiege and the other brutal forces that
repressed the Iranian people, energy targets. There's just been a
massive cyber attack on the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps banking system.
And then you know the question is do they go
at your leadership? Is this really a regime change type operation?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
The specifics of whether or not the United States would
get in in offensive action towards Iran centers on whether
or not Iran, sorry, whether or not Israel has the
capability of penetrating those underground nuclear facilities.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
They don't. That's where we come in.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's where we get that's right.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They do not have the technology that we have to
go after those underground facilities. We do have the massive
ordnance penetrator, the what they call the bunker busting bomb.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
If we were to.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Target and destroy Tehran's underground facilities that enrich this nuclear material,
this would fall to a small number of Air Force
strategic bombers that are capable of delivering that thirty thousand
pound precision guided bomb designed to destroy subterranean targets. It's
called the GBU fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
It's GPS guided in its specific even well defended targets
to destroy what otherwise ordinary bombs couldn't reach. Now we
know what the capabilities of the GBU fifty seven was
a couple decades ago, which was that it could penetrate
up to about two hundred feet below ground.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's probably better than that. Now.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
It can probably go deeper. And the reason it can
do that is that there's two charges in it. The
first charge obviously would hit whatever concrete or layer above
the important stuff was, which allows that second charge to
go deeper into the mountain and then explode and blow
the nuclear parts to pieces.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
As I mention, the B two Spirit Stealth bomber is
the only Air Force aircraft that can deploy the MOP
because of that thirty thousand pound weight. There are nineteen
operational B twos according to the.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Air Force that we know about.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Traveling at subsonic speeds but capable of mid air refueling,
the B two can fly quite the distance. During Kosovo,
the B two pilots flew round trips from Whiteman Air
Force Base in.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Missouri to strike targets in Kosovo.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
In twenty seventeen, a pair of B twos flew thirty
four hours to hit camps in Libya.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wow, that's a long flight.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
I don't know the bathroom facilities are on a B two,
but I can't imagine that they're very luxurious.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
A freaking NonStop thirty four hours.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
We do know that the most deeply buried nuclear enrichment
site is fod Oh, and we've talked about it multiple times,
and the Tan's was the one a few years ago.
But Fordah is is there a more important one? Shall
we say? The facility is all the way underground, carved
into a mountain side. The inspectors for the UN who
viewed fod Doh noted tunnels with very thick walls, blastproof doors,
(12:50):
some bunkers protected by up to three hundred feet of rock,
ostensibly designed to produce uranium enrich for about twenty percent.
That's not necessarily enough for a nuclear weapon. But the
IAEA report, remember we told you about that last week,
that came out and said that it looks like they're
(13:12):
trying to enrich uranium to the point they could use
it in a weapon. And then Iran gave them double birds,
and then Israel bond the everliving crap out of them. Well,
they said in the ia raate EA report that they
had increased the production of sixty percent enriched uranium, approaching
that ninety percent level which would be required for a
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Now, even if we hit the two sides we know about,
that may not be the end of Iran's nuclear program,
because obviously they're going to have other stuff we don't
know about, or that we don't pretend we don't know
about exactly. So there's that, But it seems like these
are the two massive payloads that if we were to strike,
(13:54):
it would be very targeted. And this is the kind
of stuff I've got to believe, putting together all the
things I have learned about President Trump, this is right.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Up his ally. He loves it, loves it, can't wait
to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
We didn't see any.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Discussion, any response, any media statement even about what happened
in that meeting yesterday between him and the National Security
Council in the situation room.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah, nobody said anything about that.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
If I'm a betting man, this happens.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
There is also just to kind of give you an
idea of what the life is like in Iran right
now appears to be under total internet blackout, the results
of a combination not just of censorship that would be
imposed by the Iranian regime. They're trying to hide just
how badly their pants are being handed to him right now,
but also the cyber attacks against the Internet's infrastructure and
(14:53):
the cell phone infrastructure by Israel. So it looks like
the Internet is broken in all of a ron right now.
Anything develops will definitely bring it to you live.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Lucky you don't have to worry about hockey fans for
another couple of months. Florida Panthers are the Stanley Cup
champs again after a five to one win over the
Eminonton Oilers. They celebrated, of course, on the ice in
Florida with the Stanley Cup and then broke it. They
broke one of the pieces of the rim of that
thing before they even took it off of the ice.
So Pacers thunder Game six. The NBA Finals will be
(15:34):
tomorrow night. Angels beat the Yankees for nothing. The Yankees
have been shut out three straight games. That is tied
for the record for the franchise of the New York Yankees.
They'll play again tonight. Four oh five. Dodgers beat the
Padres again eight to six after both Fernando Tatist and
show hey Otani hit by pitches. Dave Roberts was actually
(15:55):
ejected after complaining about all of that.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So tonight Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Take on the Padres at Dodge Stadium again, first pitches
at seven on gold Player Jersey Night. Listen to all
the Dodgers games on a five to seventy LA Sports
live from that Galpin Motors Broadcast booth and stream all
the Dodgers games NHD on the iHeartRadio app. Use that
keyword AM five to seventy LA Sports. The Supreme Court
(16:19):
handed down a decision today that upholds a ban on
gender affirming care for minors. This is out of the
state of Tennessee six to three decision by the conservative majority.
Since twenty twenty, some Republican led states around the country
have passed a bunch of laws that regulate the lives
(16:41):
of people who say they are trans with a particular
focus on anybody under the age of eighteen. President Trump
campaigned on this as part of the platform he wanted
to end what he referred to as transgender lunacy. About
half of the states have laws similar to Tennessee's. It's
(17:04):
kind of bounced around the federal courts. They've had split
opinions on whether or not the state can create a
law that disallows certain gender affirming care. I've always hated
that term, but that kind of care for anybody under
the age of eighteen.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What an awful term, especially when you're talking about changing
the brain chemistry of a minor, sometimes without a parent's consent.
It should not be called gender affirming care. It's one
thing to have, and I I'm sorry, it's.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
One thing to have therapeutic I don't even know what
therapy period. For somebody who's like, I don't think I'm
belong in this bime, I'm all about that totally. And
here's the thing. There's a lot of people who feel
that way, and we give them eight or ten years
and we're going to it sounds it sounds crass. We're
(18:07):
gonna see if it works itself out. Yeah, listen. And
the threat that your kid is going to commit suicide
because they don't feel then stop putting pressure on them
to make decisions about which way they have.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To go therapy. All of that I'm all for.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It's when you get into using a scalpel or changing
brain chemistry with drugs and pills on a child, that that's.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
The line for me, because you're right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
When you're a kid, for the most part, wait ninety seconds,
your feelings will change. They will, they will evaporate the
or wait three years and they change. What's the rush,
especially because it's detrimental when you do those things that
early to the body forever. You know, if you're playing
(18:57):
the long game of health for your child or for you,
or for kids that aren't even your children. And that's
the part of it that really bothers me, when the
government or courts make decisions for children that they don't
even know if you're playing the long game for the health,
the long game says, wait, yeah, for the overall health
(19:18):
and the longevity of your health for your lifespan.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
We've said in you know, somewhat tongue in cheek, but
research has proven that brains do not solidify. I mean,
we talk about, you know, adolescent boys who at the
age of twenty three or twenty four still don't have
everything cooking right there. I mean, and that's just as
it as a sidelight. This specific case deals with the
(19:42):
state of Tennessee's Senate Bill Number one, which is now law.
It bans hormone therapy and puberty blockers for any transgender
minor in Tennessee and would impose civil penalties for doctors
who violate those provisions. Tennessee also does have a ban
on gender affirming surgery, but that didn't wasn't part of
(20:03):
this case because it passed after it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
It only passed a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It would take time for that one to get to
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I believe there's more in the There is a chance
that it is a miniscule chance where your kid will
commit suicide if they can't be who they want to
be yesterday, right away. Miniscule chance. There's a much greater
chance of a kid who wants attention or is just
confused that goes through all of this for not who
(20:34):
made the wrong decision and then to reverse it is
so detrimental to the health and so iffy and so
risky and so awful. There's a much greater chance that
a kid who's just like, maybe that sounds cool, maybe
I do want to be a boy, and like takes
it too far, takes it the distance that changes his
or her mind.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
There's a much greater chance for that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And who's protecting those kids who are the major already
of teenagers when you are so impressionable and you're so
hungry for attention and you want to do what other
people are doing.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And there's two things that can be true. You can
believe that puberty blockers and hormone therapy are inherently bad
for bodies that young, just bad despite what the what
the purpose of them would be right is to change
their bodies so that their body feels like what their
(21:30):
head is telling them. They're just inherently bad for bodies
that size. You can believe that, and also believe anybody
who's fourteen and believes that they're in the wrong body
needs a lot of help. They need a lot of support,
they need a lot of love. They first, before you
medically intervene, you have got to surround that kid with love. Yeah,
(21:51):
and I know, listen, they're going to be people who
yell yeah, but their parents hate them because they're Republican.
No no, no, no roof and f your idea that this
is a politically this comes down to a parenting issue.
This is your kid. If you don't want it, then
then you're a dumb house. You're the one who stayed in. Sorry,
you're the one who anyway, I'm getting.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Get really mad.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You have a responsibility for whatever happens with your kid,
and in the event that your kid comes to you
and says, I've been talking to some people.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I think that this is going on in my head.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'm not sure that I'm supposed to be a girl,
or I'm not sure I'm supposed to be a boy,
or I don't know what I am. Then stop putting
pressure on them to make those decisions.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Hey, don't need to make that decision in this house.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It doesn't matter. In this house. You lean whatever you want.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
In this house, we're going to protect you and keep
you safe, and we're going to do all these things
for you. I'm not gonna change I'm not going to
physically change your body right now, because it still has
plenty of changes that it's got to go through on
its own time.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, who's calling?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Somebody? Is it?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I don't know who calls me on this line.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Is it that girl who used to send you the nudes?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
I doubt it because it's coming through the main it
says the main auto attendant.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
What does that mean? I think it's a call. I
think it's from within the building. The call is coming
from the inside.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Well, let's figure it out. That'll be fun. They they
never leave messages though they never leave Is somebody forwarding
a call to your cell phone? Is that's?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Is that? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, we don't have phones any I know that's terrifying
if we're getting calls that are to come here to
our cell phone. Yay, Gary and Shanda will continue ice impersonators.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
You knew this was coming.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I'm actually disappointed in myself for not thinking cynically enough
to think about this coming.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yep, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yesterday, you mentioned something about I screwed up and said
that the game was in Edmonton. Someone corrected me and
said it's in Florida, and I took it back, and
then you said who cares something.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
To that effect.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I know that people care, and there's a ton I mean,
I know the Kings fans are strong, strong nation out here,
but I meant, who cares? Because it's Edmonton and the Panthers,
and I know there's Edmonton fans everywhere despite the fact
they haven't won since nineteen ninety that's crazy to me.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That's a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Lost of the Panthers twice now in the Stanley Cup Finals.
But I don't know a Florida Panthers fan. It's kind
of like, I'll throw it out there, Carolina Panthers, I
don't know a Carolina Panthers fan. There's just some franchises
where here in California. I just don't know of fans
for this particular franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
There are some franchises where, for example, you're gonna have
Yankees fans everywhere everywhere. You're gonna have Dodgers fans, yeah,
every where, but in a smaller mark Fort Lauderdale. I
don't remember the exact Sunshine Coast. I don't remember exactly
how the Panther's arena is. But outside of that, you're
not going to have a lot of Outside of Florida,
there probably aren't a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Of Florida Panthers fans, right, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
A bunch of stories that we are following. Of course,
things continue to go crazy with Iran. Wall Street Journal
is reporting that Israel might be running low on some
of its defensive missiles. The arrow interceptors. Of course, the
United States has been aware of the capacity problem for months.
We have been ramping up our production to help them
(25:40):
with systems on the ground, and of course, since the
conflict escalated in this month, the Pentagon has sent more
missile defense assets into the region. The Iranian Supreme Leader
did say that his country will not surrender and warn
that any US military intervention would bring irreparable consequences.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Christy Noam was here at LA.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Last week, had to be taken the hospital last night,
taken by ambulance to a DC area hospital because of
an allergic reaction. They haven't said what it was what
she was allergic to, but Newsweek was reporting that she
also happened to be inspecting the biological hazard labs at
Fort Dietrich yesterday or on Monday.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I was thinking about this allergic reaction, and I was thinking,
if you're Christie Noam and the high profile nature of
what she's been doing in the past week or what
have you, and you get an allergic reaction, which all
too often comes with a feeling that your throat is closing,
that you can't breathe, I would totally be freaking out.
(26:45):
That there was a poison element or something like that.
I mean, not like all Russia, but just that I
would be on edge because you know, she's we get
death threats, but like that, she gets a number of
threats personally and what have you, to the point of
you would be on guard. You would be super sensitive
to that kind of a thing.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I didn't think about that. That's a yeah. LA County
Supervisor Catherine Barger has suggested that some of the people
that we have seen detaining residents around southern California might
not be immigration officials, that they might actually be bad
players impersonating immigration enforcement officers. Her example of that was
(27:30):
a godson of one of her staff members was recently
pulled over by a couple of guys in an unmarked
car with flashing lights, and whoever these two guys were.
One of them said he had a nice truck for
someone with that surname. One man asked him to get
out of the car. The other was trying to open
the side door. As people on the street began to
(27:51):
record that confrontation, the two men drove away, and what
Catherine Barger said was, I tell you the story because
we don't know if they were ICE agents or not,
And then Supervisor Janis Hahn, who is the all seeing,
all knowing, omnipotent person, apparently said it isn't people impersonating ICE.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
If I'm a criminal and I see that people are
afraid of ICE, I'm going to rob them and pretend
I'm Ice.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
There's absolutely opportunities for.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Them to do this.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, it's easy to get tactical gear. It's easy to
get into a vehicle. First of all, the people in
the ICE, the ICE agents aren't always traveling in marked vehicles.
In fact, they're traveling in just everyday trucks and other
vehicles all the time.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
So why wouldn't you be able to do that if you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Were intent on harm or robbing people or using this
to your benefit as a criminal.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
She points out.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Catherine Barker points out something that has really fallen through
the cracks on behalf of ICE, and I would fault
them for this, She said. She called Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to report this thing, but she never heard back.
ICE has not been flooding the zone with information, which
is an opportunity for that agency to explain what it
is that they do on a regular basis. I mean,
(29:09):
it's clear what they what Christy Noam says they're doing,
but it doesn't appear that there's a robust media liaison
office for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement for them to be
able to get this information out there on a regular basis.
And when something like this happens, it's an opportunity for
them to score some points and go, Yes, we're going
to find those guys. We're going to prosecute them to
(29:30):
the fullest extent of the law. And she said they
never got back to her.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
So all right.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
