This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kfi
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Okay, let's discuss the earthquakes.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Shall we?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
First of all, there was an earthquake yesterday. For some reason,
it's generating a lot of headlines the four point three
earthquake in the Berkeley area.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Why I mean four point three is notable.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's not three point three and it's yeah, and it
was right in Berkeley.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It wasn't off the coast or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It was this morning. I said yesterday. It was early
early this morning, about three in the morning. Zomba Hayward
fault particularly dangerous. But listen, let's discuss this. The Gas tower,
Gas Company Tower on Fifth Street downtown.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So we've talked about this before with Michael Monks. LA
County wants to move its headquarters into one of downtown
LA's tallest skyscrapers. There have been a number of questions,
as you can imagine, about this raised and we've talked
about them. Why move headquarters out of the Kennethon Hall
of administration. How much is this going to cost? Is
(01:12):
it earthquake safe? How much would the retro fitting be?
And that has all been very vague when it comes
to officials answering those questions. County officials have agreed to
study the matter would this building be vulnerable to major
damage in the event of an earthquake? But now here's
(01:33):
the new wrinkle. Officials are refusing to tell us the
results of a preliminary report that seeks to answer those questions.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
LA Times tried to get the seismic report from county council,
and the lawyers for the county denied that request. The
report was referenced in a document that recommends the county
purchased the building, in which officials said they would agreed
that with the report's findings and recommendations, but they didn't
(02:06):
say anything about what those findings and recommendations actually were. Now,
the price tag for the building, the price tag two
hundred million dollars, The price tag for retrofitting two hundred
and thirty million dollars, So more than the cost of
the building itself to retrofit it to get it up
to standards.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'll tell you what, the game is here, and they're
hoping nobody pays attention. The game is here that the
county wants to move into this new beautiful skyscraper building
for two hundred million dollars, which is a ridiculous price
tag as is, and then hit the county with the
bill for the retrofitting after the fact. Oh well, we've
already moved in and now we're learning that this thing
(02:47):
is going to topple. And it's not for us, No,
it's for the safety of the downtown area. Why we
have to retrofit our new beautiful headquarters skyscraper.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
That's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They'd have to it's if you live, if you live
or work next to the gas company tower, and all
of a sudden they're like, well, you know, we think
it might stay up in a pretty significant earthquake.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Or it's going to go and take buildings down with it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
If the people that run the county really cared about
people in the county, they would spend the money to
fix this building right now. To hell with them, to
hell with their new headquarters, to hell with them moving
into a skyscraper. The money that should be spent isn't
to move their fancy office furniture. The money that should
be spent is to retrofit this thing before anything moves
(03:34):
into it, or nothing ever moves into it, to make
sure it doesn't topple onto people and kill them, because
it's not safe to just exist.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The county lawyers put it this way. They said that
this is still a preliminary seismic report and that the
county is still in the process of considering construction contracts,
and as all this goes on, the decision whether or
not to award those contracts hasn't been made. Ismac report
is not subject to disclosure at this time. The county
also characterize this as a confidential attorney work product and
(04:10):
a preliminary draft that is currently being updated with some
new findings, and to let it out now would be
to prejudice the prospective seismic retrofit project solicitation process.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's a mouthful lawyers. So it's just one of.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Those things that I think they're trying to do this
under the cover of misinformation or just no information so
that they can move in and get the building they
want and then be like, oh, ps, it's going to
cost more than it even costs to move here to
retrofit this thing because they want the fancy building and
it's going to pancake. Yeah, well, no, they'll spend the money.
They'll spend your money. You're right to fix.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It, assuming that they can do it before the earthquake hits.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
They're just not being completely honest. The fact of the
matter is La County supervisors want to move into a
fancy new building downtown and they want to do it
on the backs of the taxpayers. What they're saying is
right now, the cost is two hundred million, when it's
more like five hundred million because the retrofitting has to happen.
And they don't want to be honest about that because
if they come to us and they say it's gonna
(05:13):
be five hundred million for us to get an upgrade
and where we go to work every day, we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Be like f and U.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But if they say it's two hundred million m that's
more palatable, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Santa Monica is also dealing with some some money problems.
We'll explain what's going on in that beautiful beach city
when we come back.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Forty Gary and Shannon KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Sorry, when you think LAX, what's
the first word that comes to your mind?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Uh, horseshoe.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Second word, ah yellow? Okay, I just feel it's dingy
ah Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
The last time I was at LAX was.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
July July, Yes July, to fly to Hawaii, and we
had to go to this auxiliary gate that didn't exit.
It doesn't even exist in the plane of reality that
you and I know of, because you had to go
under the gate. You had to go through security downstairs
into a basement area that I think somehow connects to Disneyland,
(06:26):
although I don't quite understand the tunnel system, and that's
up through areas that you are not supposed to be
in to get to your gate.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So that's exactly what LAX is.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's the bowels that you shouldn't see that you seem
to always see. It's not just like one time, Oh,
they routed us through this weird area of well, we
landed in Brazil in South Paulo, which is a really
dicey city. They took us through in South Paulo down
(06:56):
into the bowels of the airport. There were no lights,
but it was all in construction. There were no lights,
and there were a few people with these pen light
flashlights kind of lighting the way as the team as
we made our way through this area. And I remember thinking, Man,
this would really freak me out if I hadn't lived
in la for twenty years and had this exact experience
(07:19):
in Lax. Every time I took an international flight of
going through the basement that always seems under construction, nothing
on the walls. Sometimes there are lights, sometimes there are not.
Lax and South Paulo share that, and that should be
a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That should be an indicator right there.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, Anyway, the word I was looking for is culture.
Culture is coming to Lax. We'll tell you how. Santa
Monica is in trouble. The city is facing one hundred
and eighty claims of sexual abuse by a former Santa
Monica police dispatcher that has already cost that city.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Why is my thing too?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What's going on? Is that your aura ring?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Are you having a heart attack?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I was texted here, but sure, I was just saying
the city still faces one hundred and eighty claims of
sex abuse by a former Santa Monica police dispatcher. They've
already paid out two hundred and twenty nine million dollars
in settlements.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
This guy's name is Eric Ohler.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He's a former city dispatcher who they say preyed on children,
mostly and predominantly Latino neighborhoods of Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Santa Monica is bigger. It's not just the peer. But yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So he often traveled in an unmarked police vehicle or
his personal suv. He had been hired and continued to
work with children despite a nineteen ninety one background check
that showed he had been arrested as a teenager for
molesting a toddlerry babysat Geez.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
He was arrested in twenty eighteen, killed himself later that year. Tomorrow, sorry,
last Tuesday, That Tuesday, Last Tuesday. The city declared it's
in financial distress that raises concern among city workers because
they are now afraid that they are going to be
sacrificed on the altar of legal settlements, that they are
(09:17):
going to see pay cuts, that they are going to
see layoffs as a result of the city trying to
figure this out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
If the city's bringing in a bunch of money, it
makes sense that you set aside a bunch of it
for settlement payouts, because it's cheaper to settle than it
is to go to.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Court battle with all of these people.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
There's got to be kind of a cost benefit analysis,
kind of a weighing of what makes sense for a
place like Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
This happens all the time. They just settle everything.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You know. You say, you know, may Or Bass, grab
my ass, They'll settle with you.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I don't know. I'm just trying to come up with
a hypothetical.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But for some cities that doesn't make sense because you're
not taking in that much. And Santa Monica has has
been struggling. They've had struggles financially for years. They said
that they've also failed in to reign in unnecessary spending
for a number of years. When you look at Santa Monica,
(10:20):
it used to be like you said, that beautiful city
by the ocean.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Who goes to Santa Monica anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's been blighted by the fact that god, I can't
even remember. The main street was taken over by homeless
encampments and nobody cared. You know, Santa Monica had troubles
going back years ago before you and I were here
about opening up. We're opening up our arms to the homeless,
come be in Santa Monica. Well they came, and then
(10:45):
you had issues back then that you had to eradicate.
And then the Third Street Promenade became this money maker
and a destination and people would come and tourists, and
the tourism was great for that reason. And then and
then you open it up again. And during COVID the
all Main Street was taken over. We saw it when
we went to go do a broadcast there for Super Bowl,
(11:07):
I think when the Rams were in it. And so
that was twenty twenties around there, and it was a
complete eyesore. Where used to have shopping and walking areas
on Main Street. It was taken over by these ugly,
unsafe iesore encampments and.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It was It's a preventable thing. It's a very very
preventable thing. One of the things that Conway has been
talking about a lot lately is you just control the
ingress and egress routes of whatever city you are in,
whatever that happens to be control. You control the kind
(11:43):
of encampment, person, business, whatever it is that you want
in your city. And if the somebody wants to pitch
an RII store outside instead of inside, you just tell
them you can't do that here.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Move along, Move along, Bob.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
The last time you were on the Conway Show, it's
been a long time. It's been a long time.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
He's controlling the ingra exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I haven't been on that show for years, and I
think that's why. It's why Mark Thompson gets to go
on every week. What a nice guy. He's nice and clean,
he's got good manners, and and look at the city,
it's thriving.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That Third Street promenade is the best indicator. And I know,
I mean it is significant, but I think it is
the best indicator of the health of or lack thereof,
of Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And trying that The latest thing is allowing people to
walk around and drink in the open. What the hell
element do you think that's going to You think that's
going to bring to Lululem and Moms.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
No, well, it depends on what they're drinking.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like one of those new social tonics, those new it's
not really a cocktail, but it's kind of supposed to
make you feel.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Better that the weed and the can.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, it's just a social tonic.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I have a case of him in my refrigerator. They
showed up and I know where they came.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Social Tonics. Is that what the name is?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, I don't I'll have to find the brand name.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
And what do they do to you?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I don't know. It's like a bubbly water thing.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But there's there's something in it.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, there's nothing in it. It's just the words social
tonic on the side.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
No drugs or anything.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Somebody. I saw somebody drinking a michelob Ultra zero on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Now it riddled me that you're you're already drinking absolute
urine water, but now you don't want liquoric. Well, michelob
ultra is already like very thins. It's a three percent
alcohol or something. I just googled social tonic. The cans
are pretty, yes, they are looks expensive.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How about just have a sprite. How about that, and
there's your social tonic.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I love a sprite.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
How about just the old fashioned fresca. Oh that sounds
a good drink.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, Oh it makes it better, Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Do you want to get into the Gavin Newsom laws
that were signed over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Do I?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Okay, We'll do that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Because I will tell you how Gavin Newsom crapped all
over himself yesterday after noon.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Okay, crapped in California?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Was he at the game?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's an excellent question.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
All right.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

Gary Shannon KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Just listening to that song on Friday throw Back.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The White House has announced that the President is going
to announce today big news about autism. His announcement is
expected to be that using thailanol during pregnancy could elevate
autism risk. Politico is reporting that Trump would also highlight
look of vorn which is a cancer and anemia drug,
(15:03):
as a potential therapy for people with autism. That in
some instances it has shown incredible differences in people with autism,
kids with autism and their ability to communicate.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
In some instances, it may do that and everybody wants
there to be a cure or an avoidance path for autism.
But wanting it doesn't make it. So, you know, is
there a correlation between pregnant women who take talent and autism? Maybe, yeah, probably,
since it's the only safe painkiller you can take when
(15:40):
you're pregnant. But is it a causation. A correlation is
not a causation. So you know, there have been a
number of scientific studies that show tailental is absolutely fine
for pregnant women.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
That's why that's what you hear.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
That's why it's the common knowledge, and it has been
for a very long time. I mean, like you said,
things do change. But I'm I'm wondering how much of
this is wanting there to be a cure and or
a way to avoid autism, and how much of it is,
you know, buttoned up science.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, I'm curious to see what he says.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I'm not curious to see what he says.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm curious to see the math of the people who
know what the hell they're doing. He's a scientist, I'm
a scientist.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
A couple of sports stories.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Eagles beat the Rams thirty three, twenty six, Chargers beat
the Broncos, at home yesterday twenty three to twenty. Detroit
to Baltimore tonight for Monday Night football, Angels and Dodgers
both lost the same score, three to one. Angels lost
to the Rockies, Dodgers lost to the Giants. They both
have days off today, but starting tomorrow, Angels will host
Kansas City. The Dodgers are in Arizona tomorrow. Gavin Newsom
(16:50):
has done a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
For one, he.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Signed a bill into law that makes California the first
state to ban most lawnforcement officers, including federal agents, from
covering their faces while they're conducting official business. The ban
is a direct response to the immigration rates that we've
seen here in southern California. All over California, federal agents
(17:15):
were wearing masks while making the arrests. There were, in
fact five bills that Gavin Newsom signed on Saturday. The
others shield immigrants healthcare information, notify families of federal agents
presence at schools, require officers to identify themselves. The governor
came to La over the weekend to sign all of these,
(17:37):
and he asked of federal agents during the event.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Because he's a big, tough guy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Quote, what are you afraid of You're going to go
out and you're going to do enforcement. Provide an ID,
tell us which agency you represent, Provide us basic information
that all local law enforcement is required to provide. We
already know Bill A Sale had US attorney here in
southern California has already said that they are challenging this
(18:03):
because the governor of a state, any state, even as
one is great and large as California, does not have
the power to do this when it comes to federal agents. So,
I mean the Gavin Usom even asks that question. In
the lead up to these discussions of banning federal agents
(18:24):
from covering their faces. Even he has questioned whether the
state has legal authority. He said federal agents do not
enjoy blank and immunity from state laws as long as
the state does not interfere with federal operations. So he
says they are going to test the theory. He knows
that it is up for a challenge.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Pro tip to Gavin Newsom, I'll just do you a
little bit of a favor here, because you're running for
president and the NFL is very important to people in
this country.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Follow the money. It's very important to people in this country.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Do not send out a political text to people who
are not even giving you money at two seventeen on
a Sunday afternoon, Oh you got one. I'm mid football game,
second quarter ish, and at this point I only look
at my phone to get texts from the producer, to
(19:20):
check like Twitter stats and stuff like that, injury injury things,
you know, whatever. You're dialed in for football. It's not
just because I work the game. I'm only looking at
my phone on Sundays for football things during the season.
Just like every other warm blooded American, You're not looking
for politics on Sunday during a football season.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
You're just not.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You're looking to escape from that exactly. You're not looking
at politics in the off season. Maybe maybe once in
a while, but like specifically, during the football season. If
you're looking at your phone on a Sunday, you're looking
at your bets, you're looking at scores, you're pulling up games,
you're pulling.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Up the red zone whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The last thing you want on a Sunday in week
three is to look down and see a text that
says Gavin Newsom here asking if you can reply to
a simple question, can we count on you to vote yes?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
On Prop fifty. Do you know what that makes me
want to do?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
If I know nothing about Prop fifty and you interrupt
my football Sunday.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Week three, vote no nonprofit vote no.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Like that is so tone deaf to send a text
on a Sunday afternoon to really anybody like a Sunday
say you're not a football fan. Sunday afternoons for family.
You're out there with your kid, you're in.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
The grass, you're having luncheon at the church.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You're having you're having your church pot luck, you're having.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Some baked beans.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You're not thinking about redistricting on a Sunday. Save that
crap for Tuesday morning.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
About nine thirty, right before the meeting.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He also got in trouble, or at least the press
office did, for a tweet that went out Saturday morning
before this whole Federal agents can't wear masks, thing he
wrote or they wrote, whoever is in charge of it,
Christy Noan is going to have a bad day today.
You're welcome America.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
In a world of political violence that has come to
a head recently, even an in.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
What's the word.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
An implicit or something that can be taken as an
implicit threat, should be. You got to be careful. Yeah,
you got to be careful. Christy Nolan is going to
have a bad day today. Acting US Attorney Bill as
Saley had said, we have zero tolerance for director implicit
threats against government officials. I've referred this matter to the
Secret Service and requested a full threat assessed.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, that's a bad thing to say.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Just an tone deaf.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Ead all the rooms?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Let's do tear in the skies we come back. Let's
get into that culture in that.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I just feel like you don't need to be provocative
for this, just a sense of being just for the
sake of being provocative.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
But it's climate.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But it's worked in the last couple of months, and
now he's high on it. He can't get enough of it.
Gross tearing the skies about when we come back? Elmra
You see Elmer get freaked out there.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, he does not like your that's his serious face.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I know I don't feel a smile, but it's a serious.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Deborah, we got all the earthquake stuff out of the
way before you got here.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, we did it on purpose. Mm hmmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
A couple hundred miles away.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
She has premonitions.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Maybe you can hear them, you know, the super ultra
low frequency waves that happened right before the Earth.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Maybe it speaks to her subconscious.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
The world, the universe was vibrating.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
She picks up on it. You know why, because she
eats the earth.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
She eats dirt and beans and the earth, and she's
closer to it.

I'm sorry, Gonzo.

It was canceled.

It was cancer.

It wasn't us. We didn't drop the ball. We were
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I was wearing my best West Covina outfit. I had
it all planned out.

We do fall big on this show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There is no Yeah, it's Monday, but when it's the
first day of fall.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
We blow it out. We do blow it out usually, Well,
we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Blow out something because we were in some pizza for
somebody's mom who flew in for news, and Bruce and
I had the idea, well, we'll bring her in the studio.
So she's coming in, okay for the twelve o'clock hour. Yeah,
I know, I know, I know, I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What am I thinking? What could I possibly be thinking?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're thinking, I'm surprised you didn't invite everybody to the studio.
I'm surprised we got away with just one guest.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
It's time for terror in this guys.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Bump bump, boom, boom bump. Dode doun to do.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Monday to Friday play.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
There was a suspected cyber attack that hit a bunch
of airports, most of them in Europe, with some massive problems.
It started on Friday. Several big airports, London's Heathrow, the
airport in Brussels plunged into chaos because of a technical
issue that related to check in and boarding systems Friday
into Saturday. The software is called Meuse. The company that
(25:37):
makes it is called Collins Aerospace. Used by airlines and
shared check in desks, boarding gates other infrastructure carriers were
forced to turn to manual systems to process passengers during
the chaos, which slows everything down considerably. They said that
that MUSE software is industry standard used across some one
(26:00):
hundred and fifty airports worldwide, and that one expert is
saying criminals could be using this one time thing as
an example of what could happen in a larger attack
that would cripple systems globally. Yeah, and if that's the case,
(26:20):
you can expect there to be a call for ransom.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Face.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
We've seen the movies about the dry runs.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, they have been getting things back in place. Colin's
Aerospace put out a statement and said that they were
able to develop a patch and push it out to
all of its clients and hopefully everything gets back to more.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I have an idea for a book or a movie.
Somebody picture, if you will, Somebody takes the entire Internet
hostage and we don't pay and we go back to
living the way we used to live.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I have a question, Yeah, if somebody takes the internet hostage, Yeah,
how do we know that they took the Internet hostage?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think you're drilling down on the crux of the
plot point, that is knowledge.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I feel like I'm Kamala Harris. Did that sound like
Kamala Harris?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
First of all, words inter and net Internet two words.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Right, that's pretty easy to do, what you get rolling?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I see it now why she was lulled into such
a circuit just word solid. No, but that'd be kind
of a cool premise, right, And I haven't figured it
all out yet, but you know, we all go back
to before Internet, and then that person remained.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
What's their motivation? Vince Flynn I've talked about this book before.
Vince Flynn put out a book called Total Power, and
it was about taking down the power grid. Obviously would
take down Internet as well. But it doesn't take long
for us to go.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Nuts, right and go back to our roots as cavemen.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, that's why I have a truck. Get on over
to Thorston Buick GMC to Survive.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Survive.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We'll talk about what's going on in the H one
B visa crackdown, a little bit, more about the autism
announcement coming out of the White House.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Today and more.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Oh and lax culture. We've got to get into that
next hour as well.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Feels it's cognitive dissonance when you put those.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Words together, lax culture. Some it's not right there. Gary
and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been listening
to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear

Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Okay, let's discuss the earthquakes.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Shall we?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
First of all, there was an earthquake yesterday. For some reason,
it's generating a lot of headlines the four point three
earthquake in the Berkeley area.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Why I mean four point three is notable.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's not three point three and it's yeah, and it
was right in Berkeley.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
It wasn't off the coast or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
It was this morning. I said yesterday. It was early
early this morning, about three in the morning. Zomba Hayward
fault particularly dangerous. But listen, let's discuss this. The Gas tower,
Gas Company Tower on Fifth Street downtown.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So we've talked about this before with Michael Monks. LA
County wants to move its headquarters into one of downtown
LA's tallest skyscrapers. There have been a number of questions,
as you can imagine, about this raised and we've talked
about them. Why move headquarters out of the Kennethon Hall
of administration. How much is this going to cost? Is
(01:12):
it earthquake safe? How much would the retro fitting be?
And that has all been very vague when it comes
to officials answering those questions. County officials have agreed to
study the matter would this building be vulnerable to major
damage in the event of an earthquake? But now here's
(01:33):
the new wrinkle. Officials are refusing to tell us the
results of a preliminary report that seeks to answer those questions.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
LA Times tried to get the seismic report from county council,
and the lawyers for the county denied that request. The
report was referenced in a document that recommends the county
purchased the building, in which officials said they would agreed
that with the report's findings and recommendations, but they didn't
(02:06):
say anything about what those findings and recommendations actually were. Now,
the price tag for the building, the price tag two
hundred million dollars, The price tag for retrofitting two hundred
and thirty million dollars, So more than the cost of
the building itself to retrofit it to get it up
to standards.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I'll tell you what, the game is here, and they're
hoping nobody pays attention. The game is here that the
county wants to move into this new beautiful skyscraper building
for two hundred million dollars, which is a ridiculous price
tag as is, and then hit the county with the
bill for the retrofitting after the fact. Oh well, we've
already moved in and now we're learning that this thing
(02:47):
is going to topple. And it's not for us, No,
it's for the safety of the downtown area. Why we
have to retrofit our new beautiful headquarters skyscraper.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
That's exactly what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They'd have to it's if you live, if you live
or work next to the gas company tower, and all
of a sudden they're like, well, you know, we think
it might stay up in a pretty significant earthquake.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Or it's going to go and take buildings down with it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
If the people that run the county really cared about
people in the county, they would spend the money to
fix this building right now. To hell with them, to
hell with their new headquarters, to hell with them moving
into a skyscraper. The money that should be spent isn't
to move their fancy office furniture. The money that should
be spent is to retrofit this thing before anything moves
(03:34):
into it, or nothing ever moves into it, to make
sure it doesn't topple onto people and kill them, because
it's not safe to just exist.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The county lawyers put it this way. They said that
this is still a preliminary seismic report and that the
county is still in the process of considering construction contracts,
and as all this goes on, the decision whether or
not to award those contracts hasn't been made. Ismac report
is not subject to disclosure at this time. The county
also characterize this as a confidential attorney work product and
(04:10):
a preliminary draft that is currently being updated with some
new findings, and to let it out now would be
to prejudice the prospective seismic retrofit project solicitation process.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's a mouthful lawyers. So it's just one of.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Those things that I think they're trying to do this
under the cover of misinformation or just no information so
that they can move in and get the building they
want and then be like, oh, ps, it's going to
cost more than it even costs to move here to
retrofit this thing because they want the fancy building and
it's going to pancake. Yeah, well, no, they'll spend the money.
They'll spend your money. You're right to fix.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
It, assuming that they can do it before the earthquake hits.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
They're just not being completely honest. The fact of the
matter is La County supervisors want to move into a
fancy new building downtown and they want to do it
on the backs of the taxpayers. What they're saying is
right now, the cost is two hundred million, when it's
more like five hundred million because the retrofitting has to happen.
And they don't want to be honest about that because
if they come to us and they say it's gonna
(05:13):
be five hundred million for us to get an upgrade
and where we go to work every day, we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Be like f and U.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But if they say it's two hundred million m that's
more palatable, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Santa Monica is also dealing with some some money problems.
We'll explain what's going on in that beautiful beach city
when we come back.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Forty Gary and Shannon KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Sorry, when you think LAX, what's
the first word that comes to your mind?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Uh, horseshoe.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Second word, ah yellow? Okay, I just feel it's dingy
ah Okay.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
The last time I was at LAX was.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
July July, Yes July, to fly to Hawaii, and we
had to go to this auxiliary gate that didn't exit.
It doesn't even exist in the plane of reality that
you and I know of, because you had to go
under the gate. You had to go through security downstairs
into a basement area that I think somehow connects to Disneyland,
(06:26):
although I don't quite understand the tunnel system, and that's
up through areas that you are not supposed to be
in to get to your gate.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So that's exactly what LAX is.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's the bowels that you shouldn't see that you seem
to always see. It's not just like one time, Oh,
they routed us through this weird area of well, we
landed in Brazil in South Paulo, which is a really
dicey city. They took us through in South Paulo down
(06:56):
into the bowels of the airport. There were no lights,
but it was all in construction. There were no lights,
and there were a few people with these pen light
flashlights kind of lighting the way as the team as
we made our way through this area. And I remember thinking, Man,
this would really freak me out if I hadn't lived
in la for twenty years and had this exact experience
(07:19):
in Lax. Every time I took an international flight of
going through the basement that always seems under construction, nothing
on the walls. Sometimes there are lights, sometimes there are not.
Lax and South Paulo share that, and that should be
a problem.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That should be an indicator right there.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, Anyway, the word I was looking for is culture.
Culture is coming to Lax. We'll tell you how. Santa
Monica is in trouble. The city is facing one hundred
and eighty claims of sexual abuse by a former Santa
Monica police dispatcher that has already cost that city.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Why is my thing too?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What's going on? Is that your aura ring?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
No?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Are you having a heart attack?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I was texted here, but sure, I was just saying
the city still faces one hundred and eighty claims of
sex abuse by a former Santa Monica police dispatcher. They've
already paid out two hundred and twenty nine million dollars
in settlements.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
This guy's name is Eric Ohler.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He's a former city dispatcher who they say preyed on children,
mostly and predominantly Latino neighborhoods of Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Santa Monica is bigger. It's not just the peer. But yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So he often traveled in an unmarked police vehicle or
his personal suv. He had been hired and continued to
work with children despite a nineteen ninety one background check
that showed he had been arrested as a teenager for
molesting a toddlerry babysat Geez.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
He was arrested in twenty eighteen, killed himself later that year. Tomorrow, sorry,
last Tuesday, That Tuesday, Last Tuesday. The city declared it's
in financial distress that raises concern among city workers because
they are now afraid that they are going to be
sacrificed on the altar of legal settlements, that they are
(09:17):
going to see pay cuts, that they are going to
see layoffs as a result of the city trying to
figure this out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
If the city's bringing in a bunch of money, it
makes sense that you set aside a bunch of it
for settlement payouts, because it's cheaper to settle than it
is to go to.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Court battle with all of these people.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
There's got to be kind of a cost benefit analysis,
kind of a weighing of what makes sense for a
place like Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
This happens all the time. They just settle everything.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
You know. You say, you know, may Or Bass, grab
my ass, They'll settle with you.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I don't know. I'm just trying to come up with
a hypothetical.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But for some cities that doesn't make sense because you're
not taking in that much. And Santa Monica has has
been struggling. They've had struggles financially for years. They said
that they've also failed in to reign in unnecessary spending
for a number of years. When you look at Santa Monica,
(10:20):
it used to be like you said, that beautiful city
by the ocean.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Who goes to Santa Monica anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It's been blighted by the fact that god, I can't
even remember. The main street was taken over by homeless
encampments and nobody cared. You know, Santa Monica had troubles
going back years ago before you and I were here
about opening up. We're opening up our arms to the homeless,
come be in Santa Monica. Well they came, and then
(10:45):
you had issues back then that you had to eradicate.
And then the Third Street Promenade became this money maker
and a destination and people would come and tourists, and
the tourism was great for that reason. And then and
then you open it up again. And during COVID the
all Main Street was taken over. We saw it when
we went to go do a broadcast there for Super Bowl,
(11:07):
I think when the Rams were in it. And so
that was twenty twenties around there, and it was a
complete eyesore. Where used to have shopping and walking areas
on Main Street. It was taken over by these ugly,
unsafe iesore encampments and.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It was It's a preventable thing. It's a very very
preventable thing. One of the things that Conway has been
talking about a lot lately is you just control the
ingress and egress routes of whatever city you are in,
whatever that happens to be control. You control the kind
(11:43):
of encampment, person, business, whatever it is that you want
in your city. And if the somebody wants to pitch
an RII store outside instead of inside, you just tell
them you can't do that here.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Move along, Move along, Bob.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
The last time you were on the Conway Show, it's
been a long time. It's been a long time.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
He's controlling the ingra exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I haven't been on that show for years, and I
think that's why. It's why Mark Thompson gets to go
on every week. What a nice guy. He's nice and clean,
he's got good manners, and and look at the city,
it's thriving.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That Third Street promenade is the best indicator. And I know,
I mean it is significant, but I think it is
the best indicator of the health of or lack thereof,
of Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And trying that The latest thing is allowing people to
walk around and drink in the open. What the hell
element do you think that's going to You think that's
going to bring to Lululem and Moms.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
No, well, it depends on what they're drinking.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like one of those new social tonics, those new it's
not really a cocktail, but it's kind of supposed to
make you feel.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Better that the weed and the can.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, it's just a social tonic.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I have a case of him in my refrigerator. They
showed up and I know where they came.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Social Tonics. Is that what the name is?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, I don't I'll have to find the brand name.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
And what do they do to you?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I don't know. It's like a bubbly water thing.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
But there's there's something in it.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, there's nothing in it. It's just the words social
tonic on the side.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
No drugs or anything.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Somebody. I saw somebody drinking a michelob Ultra zero on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Now it riddled me that you're you're already drinking absolute
urine water, but now you don't want liquoric. Well, michelob
ultra is already like very thins. It's a three percent
alcohol or something. I just googled social tonic. The cans
are pretty, yes, they are looks expensive.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How about just have a sprite. How about that, and
there's your social tonic.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I love a sprite.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
How about just the old fashioned fresca. Oh that sounds
a good drink.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, Oh it makes it better, Yes.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Do you want to get into the Gavin Newsom laws
that were signed over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Do I?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Okay, We'll do that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Because I will tell you how Gavin Newsom crapped all
over himself yesterday after noon.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Okay, crapped in California?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Was he at the game?
Speaker 4 (14:19):

Speaker 2 (14:41):
The White House has announced that the President is going
to announce today big news about autism. His announcement is
expected to be that using thailanol during pregnancy could elevate
autism risk. Politico is reporting that Trump would also highlight
look of vorn which is a cancer and anemia drug,
(15:03):
as a potential therapy for people with autism. That in
some instances it has shown incredible differences in people with autism,
kids with autism and their ability to communicate.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
In some instances, it may do that and everybody wants
there to be a cure or an avoidance path for autism.
But wanting it doesn't make it. So, you know, is
there a correlation between pregnant women who take talent and autism? Maybe, yeah, probably,
since it's the only safe painkiller you can take when
(15:40):
you're pregnant. But is it a causation. A correlation is
not a causation. So you know, there have been a
number of scientific studies that show tailental is absolutely fine
for pregnant women.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
That's why that's what you hear.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
That's why it's the common knowledge, and it has been
for a very long time. I mean, like you said,
things do change. But I'm I'm wondering how much of
this is wanting there to be a cure and or
a way to avoid autism, and how much of it is,
you know, buttoned up science.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Well, I'm curious to see what he says.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I'm not curious to see what he says.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm curious to see the math of the people who
know what the hell they're doing. He's a scientist, I'm
a scientist.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
A couple of sports stories.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Eagles beat the Rams thirty three, twenty six, Chargers beat
the Broncos, at home yesterday twenty three to twenty. Detroit
to Baltimore tonight for Monday Night football, Angels and Dodgers
both lost the same score, three to one. Angels lost
to the Rockies, Dodgers lost to the Giants. They both
have days off today, but starting tomorrow, Angels will host
Kansas City. The Dodgers are in Arizona tomorrow. Gavin Newsom
(16:50):
has done a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
For one, he.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Signed a bill into law that makes California the first
state to ban most lawnforcement officers, including federal agents, from
covering their faces while they're conducting official business. The ban
is a direct response to the immigration rates that we've
seen here in southern California. All over California, federal agents
(17:15):
were wearing masks while making the arrests. There were, in
fact five bills that Gavin Newsom signed on Saturday. The
others shield immigrants healthcare information, notify families of federal agents
presence at schools, require officers to identify themselves. The governor
came to La over the weekend to sign all of these,
(17:37):
and he asked of federal agents during the event.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Because he's a big, tough guy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Quote, what are you afraid of You're going to go
out and you're going to do enforcement. Provide an ID,
tell us which agency you represent, Provide us basic information
that all local law enforcement is required to provide. We
already know Bill A Sale had US attorney here in
southern California has already said that they are challenging this
(18:03):
because the governor of a state, any state, even as
one is great and large as California, does not have
the power to do this when it comes to federal agents. So,
I mean the Gavin Usom even asks that question. In
the lead up to these discussions of banning federal agents
(18:24):
from covering their faces. Even he has questioned whether the
state has legal authority. He said federal agents do not
enjoy blank and immunity from state laws as long as
the state does not interfere with federal operations. So he
says they are going to test the theory. He knows
that it is up for a challenge.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Pro tip to Gavin Newsom, I'll just do you a
little bit of a favor here, because you're running for
president and the NFL is very important to people in
this country.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Follow the money. It's very important to people in this country.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Do not send out a political text to people who
are not even giving you money at two seventeen on
a Sunday afternoon, Oh you got one. I'm mid football game,
second quarter ish, and at this point I only look
at my phone to get texts from the producer, to
(19:20):
check like Twitter stats and stuff like that, injury injury things,
you know, whatever. You're dialed in for football. It's not
just because I work the game. I'm only looking at
my phone on Sundays for football things during the season.
Just like every other warm blooded American, You're not looking
for politics on Sunday during a football season.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
You're just not.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You're looking to escape from that exactly. You're not looking
at politics in the off season. Maybe maybe once in
a while, but like specifically, during the football season. If
you're looking at your phone on a Sunday, you're looking
at your bets, you're looking at scores, you're pulling up games,
you're pulling.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Up the red zone whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
The last thing you want on a Sunday in week
three is to look down and see a text that
says Gavin Newsom here asking if you can reply to
a simple question, can we count on you to vote yes?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
On Prop fifty. Do you know what that makes me
want to do?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
If I know nothing about Prop fifty and you interrupt
my football Sunday.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Week three, vote no nonprofit vote no.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Like that is so tone deaf to send a text
on a Sunday afternoon to really anybody like a Sunday
say you're not a football fan. Sunday afternoons for family.
You're out there with your kid, you're in.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
The grass, you're having luncheon at the church.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You're having you're having your church pot luck, you're having.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
You're not thinking about redistricting on a Sunday. Save that
crap for Tuesday morning.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
About nine thirty, right before the meeting.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He also got in trouble, or at least the press
office did, for a tweet that went out Saturday morning
before this whole Federal agents can't wear masks, thing he
wrote or they wrote, whoever is in charge of it,
Christy Noan is going to have a bad day today.
You're welcome America.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
In a world of political violence that has come to
a head recently, even an in.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
What's the word.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
An implicit or something that can be taken as an
implicit threat, should be. You got to be careful. Yeah,
you got to be careful. Christy Nolan is going to
have a bad day today. Acting US Attorney Bill as
Saley had said, we have zero tolerance for director implicit
threats against government officials. I've referred this matter to the
Secret Service and requested a full threat assessed.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, that's a bad thing to say.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Just an tone deaf.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Ead all the rooms?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Let's do tear in the skies we come back. Let's
get into that culture in that.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I just feel like you don't need to be provocative
for this, just a sense of being just for the
sake of being provocative.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
But it's climate.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
But it's worked in the last couple of months, and
now he's high on it. He can't get enough of it.
Gross tearing the skies about when we come back? Elmra
You see Elmer get freaked out there.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, he does not like your that's his serious face.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I know I don't feel a smile, but it's a serious.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Deborah, we got all the earthquake stuff out of the
way before you got here.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, we did it on purpose. Mm hmmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
A couple hundred miles away.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
She has premonitions.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Maybe you can hear them, you know, the super ultra
low frequency waves that happened right before the Earth.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Maybe it speaks to her subconscious.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
The world, the universe was vibrating.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
She picks up on it. You know why, because she
eats the earth.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
She eats dirt and beans and the earth, and she's
closer to it.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
It was canceled.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
It was cancer.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
It wasn't us. We didn't drop the ball. We were
ready to go.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I was wearing my best West Covina outfit. I had
it all planned out.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I knew, I knew what it was gonna be, and
then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I was I had my boots ready to go. I
was gonna wear boots for the first time in this
season because today.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
It's the first day of fall.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
It is.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Yes, it all made sense.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Fall West Covina, your outfit, my boots, and it fell
through it did it did well.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
We do fall big on this show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There is no Yeah, it's Monday, but when it's the
first day of fall.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
We blow it out. We do blow it out usually, Well,
we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Blow out something because we were in some pizza for
somebody's mom who flew in for news, and Bruce and
I had the idea, well, we'll bring her in the studio.
So she's coming in, okay for the twelve o'clock hour. Yeah,
I know, I know, I know, I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What am I thinking? What could I possibly be thinking?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're thinking, I'm surprised you didn't invite everybody to the studio.
I'm surprised we got away with just one guest.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
It's time for terror in this guys.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Bump bump, boom, boom bump. Dode doun to do.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Monday to Friday play.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
There was a suspected cyber attack that hit a bunch
of airports, most of them in Europe, with some massive problems.
It started on Friday. Several big airports, London's Heathrow, the
airport in Brussels plunged into chaos because of a technical
issue that related to check in and boarding systems Friday
into Saturday. The software is called Meuse. The company that
(25:37):
makes it is called Collins Aerospace. Used by airlines and
shared check in desks, boarding gates other infrastructure carriers were
forced to turn to manual systems to process passengers during
the chaos, which slows everything down considerably. They said that
that MUSE software is industry standard used across some one
(26:00):
hundred and fifty airports worldwide, and that one expert is
saying criminals could be using this one time thing as
an example of what could happen in a larger attack
that would cripple systems globally. Yeah, and if that's the case,
(26:20):
you can expect there to be a call for ransom.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Face.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
We've seen the movies about the dry runs.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, they have been getting things back in place. Colin's
Aerospace put out a statement and said that they were
able to develop a patch and push it out to
all of its clients and hopefully everything gets back to more.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I have an idea for a book or a movie.
Somebody picture, if you will, Somebody takes the entire Internet
hostage and we don't pay and we go back to
living the way we used to live.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I have a question, Yeah, if somebody takes the internet hostage, Yeah,
how do we know that they took the Internet hostage?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think you're drilling down on the crux of the
plot point, that is knowledge.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I feel like I'm Kamala Harris. Did that sound like
Kamala Harris?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
First of all, words inter and net Internet two words.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Right, that's pretty easy to do, what you get rolling?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I see it now why she was lulled into such
a circuit just word solid. No, but that'd be kind
of a cool premise, right, And I haven't figured it
all out yet, but you know, we all go back
to before Internet, and then that person remained.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
What's their motivation? Vince Flynn I've talked about this book before.
Vince Flynn put out a book called Total Power, and
it was about taking down the power grid. Obviously would
take down Internet as well. But it doesn't take long
for us to go.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Nuts, right and go back to our roots as cavemen.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, that's why I have a truck. Get on over
to Thorston Buick GMC to Survive.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Survive.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
We'll talk about what's going on in the H one
B visa crackdown, a little bit, more about the autism
announcement coming out of the White House.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Today and more.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Oh and lax culture. We've got to get into that
next hour as well.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Feels it's cognitive dissonance when you put those.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Words together, lax culture. Some it's not right there. Gary
and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been listening
to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty nine am to
