Gary & Shannon tear into Proposition 50 — the so-called “redistricting reform” that’s really just Democrats giving Democrats more power. They break down how the measure could reshape California politics for years, the gamble Governor Newsom is making by spending hundreds of millions to push it through, and why voters should care.
Plus — Trump’s fiery TruthSocial post about California’s voting system, a detour to the Maldives (mentally at least), and why Disney’s latest streaming fight with YouTube TV has just cost millions of viewers their Monday Night Football and election coverage on ESPN / ABC.

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. On this election Day, November fourth,
twenty twenty five, KFI and KFI News will have you
covered all day and into the night. Special coverage tonight
with Michael Monks and Chris Merrill as well here on
(00:23):
KFI into the into the evening as the results continue
to roll in, So you don't need to go anywhere else,
you just keep it right here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The developing story that's coming out of DC right now
is that the Department of Transportation might be forced to
shut down airspace in certain parts of the country if
our government shutdown continues into next week. That is what
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said just this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
If you bring us two a week from today, Democrats,
you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays,
you'll see mass cancellation, and you may see us close
certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage
it because we don't have the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
About fifty percent of the largest air traffic control facilities
in the country are facing staffing shortages.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
According to the FAA, air.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Traffic controllers are required to work without pay during a shutdown.
That doesn't mean they don't call in sick. About thirteen
thousand air traffic controllers currently working without pay. On Friday,
they said about eighty percent of the staff in just
the New York area called out sick.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, I mean, the morale's already so low inside those
air traffic control rooms. We've mentioned it numerous times before
the government shut down. They're overworked. Fewer people are getting
involved in this job, this line of work. They've even
lowered the bar, they've extended the age they'll accept to
become air traffic controller, and now they're not going.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
To pay you.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Morale was already at the very bottom, and now it's
even below that. So if you're having trouble paying your bills,
why are you going to show up for a job
that's not paying you just because you care enough? You
don't care enough when morale has been that bad for
so many years in a row.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Now, yeah, well Prop fifty is on our ballot. We
mentioned in the last hour. There are four significant election
issues going on today to governor's races, one in Virginia,
one in New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You've got the city mayor's race in New York.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I also just wanted to mention in Virginia, it looks
like the governor there, span Berger, should win it comfortably
because it's a very liberal northern suburb there near Washington
that is going to pull in the votes for the Democrat.
But the race for attorney general, we spend a little
time talking about this.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
In Virginia.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's all about those text messages with that guy, Jay Jones,
Democratic nominee. Like I mentioned, they love Democrat there in Virginia,
but he was caught saying some very violent, violent things. Yeah,
in early October, there were texts on earthed from twenty
twenty two. He had just left the state House and
(03:06):
he suggested in these texts that he'd like to see
the Republican speaker of the state House be shot. It
suggested that the speaker and his wife were breeding little fascists. Now,
this was you got to keep it in context on
the keels of the Charlie Kirk assassination. So instant uproar.
But Democrats in Virginia were not chastising this guy. They
(03:28):
were not striking him down. So they condemned the text,
but nobody called for him to step aside. So we'll
see if he weather's this tech storm too. That's the
race for Attorney General.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Well on that Virginia.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Just all of the election that's taking place in Virginia
today is important because there's a few hundred thousand federal
workers in Virginia and if they're not, I mean not
all of them are affected by the government shutdown, but
a fast majority of them are. And think of those
those suburbs around Washington, DC that exists in the state
(04:02):
of Virginia that are losing money every single day because
they do not have the foot traffic that they would
have if the government was up and running today.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So Prop fifty here in California, we're going to spend
some time on this. The polls have shown that this
measure should succeed easily. Last night, the Headquarters average had
the Yes side leading by twenty points. Now, this makes
no surprise in a Democratic stronghold like California, where basically
(04:32):
this thing would redistrict California to give Democrats an advantage.
But it's what it would mean for Gavin Newsom, who's
really been the face of this thing nationally. He's shown
up in articles nationally because of coming out in front
of Prop fifty as a way to battle back what
happened with redistricting in Texas. It's a California proposition, but
(04:56):
with national implications.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
As you've seen by some of the commercials, you've got
some of the highest profile politicians from around the country
that are saying that this Prop fifty is going to
determine things like women's rights to an abortion, Medicare costs,
healthcare cast like how one specific state and the representatives
that we send to Congress will have an impact on
(05:19):
all of those issues.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's weird this time of year, right before an election day,
because you see politicians you haven't seen in a long
time and they're showing up. Either they're running again because
they just get recycled through the political machine, or they're
showing up to give something an endorsement, and you're thinking, man,
they look old. Andrew Cuomo in New York is one
of those people you probably haven't seen in four years.
Barack Obama you probably haven't seen on four years. He's
(05:41):
on the Prop fifty ads. Elizabeth Warren also on the
Prop fifty ads.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We'll talk about this gamble that Gavin Newsom is taking
with Prop fifty and what it could mean for him
in the future.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Right now. Now we're giving away another thousand bucks.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
So now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just
enter this nationwide keyword on our website cash. That's cash
cash Edward now at KFIAM six forty dot com slash
cash powered by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're hurting
an accident, winning is everything. Call the winning attorneys at
Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one eight
(06:23):
hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Again, the keyword cash goes on that website KFIAM six
forty dot com slash cash, and then an hour from
now we give you another shot to win one thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Gavin Newsom is using a Prop fifty as a stepping
stool to national prominence or at least name recognition, to
run for president. Proposition fifty would redistrict California, making it
more easy for Democrats to become elected, and he has
positioned himself as the face of PROMP fifty. In a
(06:58):
closing TV ad, he said, you have the power to
stand up to Donald Trump. Like I mentioned, this ad
included former President Obama, AOC Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, if
her word's worth anything, has also been vocal and backing
the move, and it shows.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
That it is leading a big win.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Could be a big feather in Gavin Newsom's take me
seriously hat.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They've done a good job of positioning this as just
a shot across the bow at Donald Trump because the
and I don't think that the opposition to Prop fifty
has done enough to suggest taking you're taking away something
(07:46):
that you voters already gave the citizens redistricting committees. We
voted for this two thousand and eight. We gave this
citizens committee the ability to draw districts for the state legislature.
Ten years later in the Congressional Right in Committee, take
(08:06):
it out of the legislature. Because one of the things
that one of the qualities of too many politicians is
once they get power, once they get into office, their
sole job is accumulating more power, not service, not at all.
It's just accumulating more power. And this is the you know,
I guess the end result of it. Yeah, I didn't
(08:28):
like it when Texas did it. I didn't like it
when Missouri was talking about it North Carolina. The idea
that we've jerry mandered these things to the point where
you're you're literally ringing out of these districts as many
votes as you could possibly squeeze to guarantee that it
leans one way or the other is not is not
(08:49):
the way that this was designed in the first place.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Well, and it is going to be billed as this
great victory of Gavin Newsom's when when you really look
at it, how big of a victory is it in
a state that's solidly blue, that hates the guy in
the White House right now, and we'll do anything to
piss him off. They will throw a pebble in his
path if this makes him even a little bit upset.
(09:14):
California is going to.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Be all for it. This is no great victory. You've
not accomplished anything.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're not using any political muscle making it easier for
Democrats to be elected in California.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
That wasn't a problem.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But yet it's being billed as this major feat for
Gavin Newsom and a way for him to show his
muscle across the country. I mean, they have been masterful.
His people have been great at this. They've been great
at a couple things. Number one, doing their social media sarcastic,
snarky replies to all the Trump stuff in the Trump voice,
(09:49):
and then on that's on one hand, right, they're being
total juveniles on one hand, and it's working for them.
The base loves it, the youth loves it. And then
on the other hand, they're making Gavin Newsom look like
this political brain maven that has come up with this
redistricting scheme to give Democrats more power. I mean, whoever's
(10:11):
pulling the strings here has done a really great job.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
You have to hand it to them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And also they have Gavin Newsom on the podcast circuit
talking to Republicans. The very thing that I have been
saying that I want to see more of is people
talking to people they disagree with just for the sake
of some sort of dignity in this country when it
comes to political disagreements, you know, you just the whole
(10:40):
put my head in the sand. I'm not going to
listen to anybody who disagrees with me. I don't think
GE's this anywhere, So he's allegedly doing that as well,
and on the popular podcast circuit.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And let's not forget politicians. Once you give them power,
they don't give it back. The idea that we're going
to do this temper rarely, that we're going to have
the legislature redraw districts temporarily and never go back to
the citizen redistricting Committee is ludicrous. The members of the committee,
for the most part, have come out against this proposal.
(11:14):
And it's not because these citizens that are on the
districting committee have a whole lot of power when it
comes to drawing and how they do it. But they
know that the legislature is going to once they get
it back, they claw it back.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
They're not going to put it on the ballot again.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They're not going to allow the hoi poloi like us
to have any say on the congressional redistricting.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And Okay, granted, there's fifty one congressional districts in the
state of California right now. After this passes, there's still
fifty one districts. The difference is you're losing at least
five Republican districts and they're already outnumbered forty two to nine.
(11:57):
So the idea that this is somehow a double bird
to President Trump or to the state of Texas or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
be careful what you ask for, because the farther we
go down this road, the more divided we come.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And you don't come back from that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, when we come back, I want to get into
do we have time for this? Yes, we do. Donald
Trump said today that this redistricting attempt is not only unconstitutional,
but part of a voting process in California that is
rigged against Republicans, threatening some kind of federal action into
(12:34):
what goes on in California.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So I'll tell you more.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Specifics about what he said, but it looks like he's
got his bullseye on California's voting process. What he could do,
what he couldn't do. We'll talk about it when we
come back.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Somebody wanted to know there was a problem at Dulles
this morning where a bomb threat had been called in
for one of the planes that was on the ground
and they had to do a ground stop and to
have the plane taxiway from the terminal, all that sort
of stuff before they determine it was fine, and they've
reopened the runways there. But somebody asked if John McClain
(13:13):
was going to come save the day.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I love it. I love that pull. That's a good pull.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We are talking about Prop fifty, which looks sure to
pass here in California. Like we mentioned before the break,
no surprise here. It is a solid blue state. It
is democrats giving Democrats more power in this redistricting effort.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
It's not even an effort, is it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's just a redistricting plan that they have pushed through here,
very little resistance in California. President Trump has weighed in
on this today. He calls this redistricting attempt not only unconstitutional,
but part of what he calls a statewide process that
is rigged, rigged against Republicans, and he went on to
(13:57):
say that California's voting pures are under review. He did
not elaborate on which entities may be taking a look
at California's rules, which do allow any registered voter to
vote by mail, but he went on truth social and
he said all mail in ballots where Republicans in that
(14:18):
state are shut out, is under very serious legal and
criminal review. And then in all caps, he wrote, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I I've never quite understood the fight against the mail
in ballots.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, they're rigged. How do you prove that they came from?
How do you how do you establish the chain of
custody on those?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, yeah, I mean that they're and I don't mind.
I don't mind voting on election day. That's that's never
been an issue for me. There's so many carve outs
for people to get to work and do it. And yes,
mail in ballots used to be a thing if you
had some sort of hardship, or you were out of state,
or you're serving the military.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, I just cheap, hey, listen, cheap better.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
If the other side's got a fifty thousand ballots, there's
stuff in those boxes with that are phony.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
You've got to do better than them.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Cheap better.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The California Republican Party is in favor of mail in
ballots in the state of California. They opposed the president
when it comes to this now, the idea that the
election itself would be or sorry, the redistricting vote in California,
which is the way the President put it in this
truth social post. He referred to it as a giant scam.
(15:40):
He said that the entire process, in particular the voting itself,
is rigged, but he didn't explain how, or like you said,
who was going to investigate this? And millions and millions
of votes have already come in when it comes to
Prop fifty, specifically, pulling already shows more than half do
support this plan the way it is. If you don't
(16:01):
support it, get out and vote. Trump has repeatedly campaigned
to eliminate mail in ballots, but specifically in California, we
know that the state Republican Party is in favor of
as long as it's done correctly. They're in favor of
mail in ballots. Who's gonna Who's gonna investigate that? The
(16:23):
Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I don't know, but I feel like this is a
common Trump trope, that that voting processes are rigged or
legal or it's really whoever is gonna lose. And I
don't think that Trump takes a loss here with Prop fifty.
I don't think he takes that personally. You know, the
writing's on the wall in California. What's going to happen,
(16:45):
especially after what happened with Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, and midterms are almost always an uphill climb for
the president. Whoever the president is, those midterms, especially in
that first term, those are going to be difficult for them.
There can be wild swings of a dozen or two
dozen congressional seats that switch parties because it's a pushback
(17:09):
against the administration. So none of that is a surprise,
but it's just worrisome that Gavin Newsom is going to
be able to take this victory lap it appears and
claim a lot of credit for all of this when
all he did was sort of lay some red meat
and say, look, that guy's the bad guy. We need
to vote against it, vote in favor of it, so
(17:30):
that we end up as a vote against him.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Great.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Diane Ladd died.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I didn't know that was Laura Durn's mother.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I also found out this morning that that was Laura
Durn's mother, right, I didn't realize. They became the first
ever mother daughter duo to have won Oscar nominations or received,
I should say Oscar nominations for the same film they
were in, something called Rambling Rose back then, but Diane
died at the age eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I didn't mean to bring bad news into the show today.
We were having a nice little election, you know, election
hot election talk, and I brought some death into it.
And I apologize. I have some smoking news, like smoking
(18:24):
what cigarettes?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oh? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The Maldives has barred people born after two thousand and
six from smoking or purchasing any tobacco products in that country,
making the archipelago the first nation to implement such a law.
I know they're working on one similar to that in
New Zealand. I believe Health Ministry said any individual born
on or after January one, two thousand and seven, is
(18:50):
prohibited from purchasing, using, or being sold any tobacco products
within the Maldives.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Diane Ladd played Clark Griswold's on Christmas vacation. She's the
one that when the lights finally work said, oh Clark,
remember that moment. See that was a happy moment for
all of us. Hell yeah, maybe we've got to bring
it around, got to bring it around.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
There's always a sliver of uh, what's the line.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I don't know. You're the actor. You've got a big
show coming up, forgetting lines with.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You here, I won't have to get up so early.
There is this silver lining to everything. Whisper thin?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh is that when your lines in the show? Is
that how you deliver it?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I don't know, would you like me to?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I feel like it needs it. I feel like it
needs a little bit more affectation.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well, the joke itself is right before that, but I
don't want to give that away.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, how would you deliver that line? The silver little
way I just did? It wasn't enough you need?
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The line before that is the more important one. But
I can't tell you that because that gives away.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Part of the show.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, I guess you're gonna have to come watch. I
am gonna come watch. I just hope it, you know,
I just.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Want you can you can walk out in that if
if that line offends and you feel like I haven't
brought my game, feel free to stand up and walk out.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You've got to remember what you're following up. I'm coming
off game seven. You got to bring it. Yeah, But
then the Chargers played in Tennessee, right, so right, you're right,
you're right. It brought the bar down a little bit
and whatever happened last night where the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I got, I watched.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I wanted to watch football last night, Like my husband
built a fire. I've got my crossword puzzle. I know,
very exciting.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
A blanky.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I did have a blanky for my lap and I
want to watch football. The game's on and I'm just like,
this is the game is doing nothing for me, like
watching everyone drop a pass?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Did everyone drop a pass?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I felt like everyone dropped a pass in the first
quarter and I had to turn It was making me sad.
Just bad football. The Cowboys host on Monday night. They
invite a team that's lost five straight with a backup
quarterback and they blow it like that.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
They made Jakobe Prissette look pretty good and I.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Hate the Cowboys and I was upset by that.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You didn't see the manning cast. Peyton and Eli were
talking with Charles Barkley late in the cab, Yeah, and
they asked him, how do you feel about this?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I'm man.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I went for the Cowboys and eventually the Cardinals scored
a touchdown at one point while they had him on
and he just pulls out his betting slip.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, I just started.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I would have taken the Cowboys in that game too
at home?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
My goodness, all right, coming up next? What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You have the list? I don't have the list.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You don't have the list.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Wow, I'm the responsible one, which is the fight between
Disney and Google continues. Actually, no Monday Night football for
everyone who was blacked out of that game. Thank your
lucky stars. Enjoy yourself. Last night is what you did.
We'll talk about the few and when it will continue
when we return.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Every Isn't that incredible? We could be in the Maldives
right now?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Picture it a nineteen year old without a cigarette.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I know us? Oh, us in the Maldives.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, well maybe not from therese Wait, not us, but
two people that are like us in the Maldives right now.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
There are versions of us.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
They're on a chaise lounge. It's quiet, there's a berreeze.
You can kind of hear the breeze, and over the
tips of your toes that you're looking out over on
your lounger is beautiful green sea.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You have crabs in this hypothetical. Where were you last night?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How quickly do you get crabs because in Sex and
the City, Charlotte got those like really quick, like the
next days.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No, she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She was a good one, which is why it was
weird when she got crops. Anyway, you're there, you're looking
over your toes. There it is the serene waters of
whatever body of water is there in the Maldives? Is
it the Atlantic? I don't know, I've never been. And
(23:30):
in your air pods? Is this show? Does it get better?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
No?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You have a drink on the way.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Okay, I'm I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's whatever you want it to be. Really, it could
be a Pini colada. It could be straight rum. It
could be a diet coke. Sure, a fridge cigarette, as
they call it, one.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Of each. What a nice day.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
This day is getting better.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Anyway, what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I just have one one quick thing to follow up on,
and it was about the bat?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The bat?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, no, gery, Shannon, it's Steve. What was the website
for the baseball bat?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Question? Nico?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Sorry, nicosports dot com, Nikco. Nikco sports dot Com.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Makes me kind of sad talking about that because my
dad was kind of hard to buy for, but you
get him. Sports memorabilia, and he was happy as a clam. Really,
I mean, you get him something from like that nineteen
forty six season, the inaugural season of the forty nine ers,
and my god, it was like a child getting a
bike on Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Tomorrow, We're going to talk a lot about this tomorrow,
not only election results coming in, of course, but there
is a huge Supreme Court case that's being argued in
front of the Supreme Court tomorrow about tariffs.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, knows how this is going to go.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I wanted to talk about this earlier in the week.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm glad we'll talk about it tomorrow because, yeah, that
is a big one.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And again, nobody knows how this is going to go.
It's not a guarantee that any of the conservative that
any of the conservative justices would agree with President Trump
on this one. But Disney is said to be losing
about five million dollars every single day that they continue
in this standoff with YouTube TV. Disney pulled all of
(25:29):
its channels Think Disney Channel, Think ABC, Think ESPN, and
all of the channels associated with them on October thirtieth, because.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Disney is asking.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
For a carrier fee of whatever they're asking for and
YouTube TV doesn't want to pay it and said, listen
doesn't make financial sense for us to pay you all
of this money when we're trying to make money as well,
so they said, no soup for you. Disney could lose
about one hundred and fifty million dollars per month if
(26:02):
the ongoing fight goes on that long. This is the
math that they used to come up with that five
million dollars every day, about ten million monthly subscribers that
UTB TV has, and the fifteen dollars that Disney receives
per month per subscriber from TV providers for their content.
We don't know the exact amount in this case, but
they're going back and forth. We've seen this before when
(26:24):
major cable companies, for example, don't want to carry local
channels or even networks, and.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
They go back and forth.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Usually there's a few days where they don't carry a
specific channel, some of them reach a deal before that
actually comes down to it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
More importantly, I just got a text message from Joe
quan As she said, when is Gary's play and where?
And I wrote back this weekend and next question mark
correct and it is in Santa Clarita question correct also,
and I wrote we are going Saturday at and then
I couldn't remember what time it was.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Saturday is the matinee? Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
No, isn't there an evening?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
No? What on Saturday? There's not.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I'm glad we clarified this. There was never a
I thought you said you were going on Sunday. Anyway,
I have a game on Sunday, which is weird when
you said that you were going on Sunday. No, I'm
going Saturday. It's a matinee, it's a three pm. It
changes everything. Okay, Friday seven, Friday at seven, Saturday three, okay,
(27:29):
Sunday six.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, okay, so you're going to miss Sunday night football.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I will actually have my phone backstage.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
No, okay, well, then.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I will actually all effort that by the end of
the day today to have something up on.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
GULD be very helpful because people want to see you
in adult theater. You're playing a homeless man. If they
want to see you disheveled, I think it's going to
be a great role for you. It's it happened one
night night on Fifth Avenue. It happened on Fifth Avenue, right, Yeah,
multiple nights, multiple Nights takes place over about three weeks, right.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
But not at night this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Matine Oh it's a matinee.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Okay, the windows will be blacked out so you'll be
able to feel like night.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Oh, okay, I do love. It'll be I do love
a matinee.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You are ninety four years I am, I Am.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
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. On this election Day, November fourth,
twenty twenty five, KFI and KFI News will have you
covered all day and into the night. Special coverage tonight
with Michael Monks and Chris Merrill as well here on
(00:23):
KFI into the into the evening as the results continue
to roll in, So you don't need to go anywhere else,
you just keep it right here.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
The developing story that's coming out of DC right now
is that the Department of Transportation might be forced to
shut down airspace in certain parts of the country if
our government shutdown continues into next week. That is what
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said just this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
If you bring us two a week from today, Democrats,
you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays,
you'll see mass cancellation, and you may see us close
certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage
it because we don't have the air traffic controllers.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
About fifty percent of the largest air traffic control facilities
in the country are facing staffing shortages.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
According to the FAA, air.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Traffic controllers are required to work without pay during a shutdown.
That doesn't mean they don't call in sick. About thirteen
thousand air traffic controllers currently working without pay. On Friday,
they said about eighty percent of the staff in just
the New York area called out sick.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right, I mean, the morale's already so low inside those
air traffic control rooms. We've mentioned it numerous times before
the government shut down. They're overworked. Fewer people are getting
involved in this job, this line of work. They've even
lowered the bar, they've extended the age they'll accept to
become air traffic controller, and now they're not going.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
To pay you.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Morale was already at the very bottom, and now it's
even below that. So if you're having trouble paying your bills,
why are you going to show up for a job
that's not paying you just because you care enough? You
don't care enough when morale has been that bad for
so many years in a row.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Now, yeah, well Prop fifty is on our ballot. We
mentioned in the last hour. There are four significant election
issues going on today to governor's races, one in Virginia,
one in New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You've got the city mayor's race in New York.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I also just wanted to mention in Virginia, it looks
like the governor there, span Berger, should win it comfortably
because it's a very liberal northern suburb there near Washington
that is going to pull in the votes for the Democrat.
But the race for attorney general, we spend a little
time talking about this.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
In Virginia.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's all about those text messages with that guy, Jay Jones,
Democratic nominee. Like I mentioned, they love Democrat there in Virginia,
but he was caught saying some very violent, violent things. Yeah,
in early October, there were texts on earthed from twenty
twenty two. He had just left the state House and
(03:06):
he suggested in these texts that he'd like to see
the Republican speaker of the state House be shot. It
suggested that the speaker and his wife were breeding little fascists. Now,
this was you got to keep it in context on
the keels of the Charlie Kirk assassination. So instant uproar.
But Democrats in Virginia were not chastising this guy. They
(03:28):
were not striking him down. So they condemned the text,
but nobody called for him to step aside. So we'll
see if he weather's this tech storm too. That's the
race for Attorney General.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Well on that Virginia.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Just all of the election that's taking place in Virginia
today is important because there's a few hundred thousand federal
workers in Virginia and if they're not, I mean not
all of them are affected by the government shutdown, but
a fast majority of them are. And think of those
those suburbs around Washington, DC that exists in the state
(04:02):
of Virginia that are losing money every single day because
they do not have the foot traffic that they would
have if the government was up and running today.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So Prop fifty here in California, we're going to spend
some time on this. The polls have shown that this
measure should succeed easily. Last night, the Headquarters average had
the Yes side leading by twenty points. Now, this makes
no surprise in a Democratic stronghold like California, where basically
(04:32):
this thing would redistrict California to give Democrats an advantage.
But it's what it would mean for Gavin Newsom, who's
really been the face of this thing nationally. He's shown
up in articles nationally because of coming out in front
of Prop fifty as a way to battle back what
happened with redistricting in Texas. It's a California proposition, but
(04:56):
with national implications.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
As you've seen by some of the commercials, you've got
some of the highest profile politicians from around the country
that are saying that this Prop fifty is going to
determine things like women's rights to an abortion, Medicare costs,
healthcare cast like how one specific state and the representatives
that we send to Congress will have an impact on
(05:19):
all of those issues.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's weird this time of year, right before an election day,
because you see politicians you haven't seen in a long
time and they're showing up. Either they're running again because
they just get recycled through the political machine, or they're
showing up to give something an endorsement, and you're thinking, man,
they look old. Andrew Cuomo in New York is one
of those people you probably haven't seen in four years.
Barack Obama you probably haven't seen on four years. He's
(05:41):
on the Prop fifty ads. Elizabeth Warren also on the
Prop fifty ads.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, all right, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We'll talk about this gamble that Gavin Newsom is taking
with Prop fifty and what it could mean for him
in the future.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Right now. Now we're giving away another thousand bucks.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
So now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just
enter this nationwide keyword on our website cash. That's cash
cash Edward now at KFIAM six forty dot com slash
cash powered by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're hurting
an accident, winning is everything. Call the winning attorneys at
Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one eight
(06:23):
hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Again, the keyword cash goes on that website KFIAM six
forty dot com slash cash, and then an hour from
now we give you another shot to win one thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Gavin Newsom is using a Prop fifty as a stepping
stool to national prominence or at least name recognition, to
run for president. Proposition fifty would redistrict California, making it
more easy for Democrats to become elected, and he has
positioned himself as the face of PROMP fifty. In a
(06:58):
closing TV ad, he said, you have the power to
stand up to Donald Trump. Like I mentioned, this ad
included former President Obama, AOC Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, if
her word's worth anything, has also been vocal and backing
the move, and it shows.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
That it is leading a big win.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Could be a big feather in Gavin Newsom's take me
seriously hat.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They've done a good job of positioning this as just
a shot across the bow at Donald Trump because the
and I don't think that the opposition to Prop fifty
has done enough to suggest taking you're taking away something
(07:46):
that you voters already gave the citizens redistricting committees. We
voted for this two thousand and eight. We gave this
citizens committee the ability to draw districts for the state legislature.
Ten years later in the Congressional Right in Committee, take
(08:06):
it out of the legislature. Because one of the things
that one of the qualities of too many politicians is
once they get power, once they get into office, their
sole job is accumulating more power, not service, not at all.
It's just accumulating more power. And this is the you know,
I guess the end result of it. Yeah, I didn't
(08:28):
like it when Texas did it. I didn't like it
when Missouri was talking about it North Carolina. The idea
that we've jerry mandered these things to the point where
you're you're literally ringing out of these districts as many
votes as you could possibly squeeze to guarantee that it
leans one way or the other is not is not
(08:49):
the way that this was designed in the first place.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Well, and it is going to be billed as this
great victory of Gavin Newsom's when when you really look
at it, how big of a victory is it in
a state that's solidly blue, that hates the guy in
the White House right now, and we'll do anything to
piss him off. They will throw a pebble in his
path if this makes him even a little bit upset.
(09:14):
California is going to.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Be all for it. This is no great victory. You've
not accomplished anything.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're not using any political muscle making it easier for
Democrats to be elected in California.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
That wasn't a problem.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But yet it's being billed as this major feat for
Gavin Newsom and a way for him to show his
muscle across the country. I mean, they have been masterful.
His people have been great at this. They've been great
at a couple things. Number one, doing their social media sarcastic,
snarky replies to all the Trump stuff in the Trump voice,
(09:49):
and then on that's on one hand, right, they're being
total juveniles on one hand, and it's working for them.
The base loves it, the youth loves it. And then
on the other hand, they're making Gavin Newsom look like
this political brain maven that has come up with this
redistricting scheme to give Democrats more power. I mean, whoever's
(10:11):
pulling the strings here has done a really great job.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
You have to hand it to them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And also they have Gavin Newsom on the podcast circuit
talking to Republicans. The very thing that I have been
saying that I want to see more of is people
talking to people they disagree with just for the sake
of some sort of dignity in this country when it
comes to political disagreements, you know, you just the whole
(10:40):
put my head in the sand. I'm not going to
listen to anybody who disagrees with me. I don't think
GE's this anywhere, So he's allegedly doing that as well,
and on the popular podcast circuit.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And let's not forget politicians. Once you give them power,
they don't give it back. The idea that we're going
to do this temper rarely, that we're going to have
the legislature redraw districts temporarily and never go back to
the citizen redistricting Committee is ludicrous. The members of the committee,
for the most part, have come out against this proposal.
(11:14):
And it's not because these citizens that are on the
districting committee have a whole lot of power when it
comes to drawing and how they do it. But they
know that the legislature is going to once they get
it back, they claw it back.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
They're not going to put it on the ballot again.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They're not going to allow the hoi poloi like us
to have any say on the congressional redistricting.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And Okay, granted, there's fifty one congressional districts in the
state of California right now. After this passes, there's still
fifty one districts. The difference is you're losing at least
five Republican districts and they're already outnumbered forty two to nine.
(11:57):
So the idea that this is somehow a double bird
to President Trump or to the state of Texas or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
be careful what you ask for, because the farther we
go down this road, the more divided we come.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
And you don't come back from that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, when we come back, I want to get into
do we have time for this? Yes, we do. Donald
Trump said today that this redistricting attempt is not only unconstitutional,
but part of a voting process in California that is
rigged against Republicans, threatening some kind of federal action into
(12:34):
what goes on in California.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
So I'll tell you more.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Specifics about what he said, but it looks like he's
got his bullseye on California's voting process. What he could do,
what he couldn't do. We'll talk about it when we
come back.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Somebody wanted to know there was a problem at Dulles
this morning where a bomb threat had been called in
for one of the planes that was on the ground
and they had to do a ground stop and to
have the plane taxiway from the terminal, all that sort
of stuff before they determine it was fine, and they've
reopened the runways there. But somebody asked if John McClain
(13:13):
was going to come save the day.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
I love it. I love that pull. That's a good pull.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We are talking about Prop fifty, which looks sure to
pass here in California. Like we mentioned before the break,
no surprise here. It is a solid blue state. It
is democrats giving Democrats more power in this redistricting effort.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
It's not even an effort, is it.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's just a redistricting plan that they have pushed through here,
very little resistance in California. President Trump has weighed in
on this today. He calls this redistricting attempt not only unconstitutional,
but part of what he calls a statewide process that
is rigged, rigged against Republicans, and he went on to
(13:57):
say that California's voting pures are under review. He did
not elaborate on which entities may be taking a look
at California's rules, which do allow any registered voter to
vote by mail, but he went on truth social and
he said all mail in ballots where Republicans in that
(14:18):
state are shut out, is under very serious legal and
criminal review. And then in all caps, he wrote, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I I've never quite understood the fight against the mail
in ballots.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, they're rigged. How do you prove that they came from?
How do you how do you establish the chain of
custody on those?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, yeah, I mean that they're and I don't mind.
I don't mind voting on election day. That's that's never
been an issue for me. There's so many carve outs
for people to get to work and do it. And yes,
mail in ballots used to be a thing if you
had some sort of hardship, or you were out of state,
or you're serving the military.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, I just cheap, hey, listen, cheap better.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
If the other side's got a fifty thousand ballots, there's
stuff in those boxes with that are phony.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
You've got to do better than them.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Cheap better.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
The California Republican Party is in favor of mail in
ballots in the state of California. They opposed the president
when it comes to this now, the idea that the
election itself would be or sorry, the redistricting vote in California,
which is the way the President put it in this
truth social post. He referred to it as a giant scam.
(15:40):
He said that the entire process, in particular the voting itself,
is rigged, but he didn't explain how, or like you said,
who was going to investigate this? And millions and millions
of votes have already come in when it comes to
Prop fifty, specifically, pulling already shows more than half do
support this plan the way it is. If you don't
(16:01):
support it, get out and vote. Trump has repeatedly campaigned
to eliminate mail in ballots, but specifically in California, we
know that the state Republican Party is in favor of
as long as it's done correctly. They're in favor of
mail in ballots. Who's gonna Who's gonna investigate that? The
(16:23):
Department of Justice.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I don't know, but I feel like this is a
common Trump trope, that that voting processes are rigged or
legal or it's really whoever is gonna lose. And I
don't think that Trump takes a loss here with Prop fifty.
I don't think he takes that personally. You know, the
writing's on the wall in California. What's going to happen,
(16:45):
especially after what happened with Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, and midterms are almost always an uphill climb for
the president. Whoever the president is, those midterms, especially in
that first term, those are going to be difficult for them.
There can be wild swings of a dozen or two
dozen congressional seats that switch parties because it's a pushback
(17:09):
against the administration. So none of that is a surprise,
but it's just worrisome that Gavin Newsom is going to
be able to take this victory lap it appears and
claim a lot of credit for all of this when
all he did was sort of lay some red meat
and say, look, that guy's the bad guy. We need
to vote against it, vote in favor of it, so
(17:30):
that we end up as a vote against him.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Great.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Diane Ladd died.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I saw that.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
I didn't know that was Laura Durn's mother.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I also found out this morning that that was Laura
Durn's mother, right, I didn't realize. They became the first
ever mother daughter duo to have won Oscar nominations or received,
I should say Oscar nominations for the same film they
were in, something called Rambling Rose back then, but Diane
died at the age eighty nine.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I didn't mean to bring bad news into the show today.
We were having a nice little election, you know, election
hot election talk, and I brought some death into it.
And I apologize. I have some smoking news, like smoking
(18:24):
what cigarettes?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Oh? Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The Maldives has barred people born after two thousand and
six from smoking or purchasing any tobacco products in that country,
making the archipelago the first nation to implement such a law.
I know they're working on one similar to that in
New Zealand. I believe Health Ministry said any individual born
on or after January one, two thousand and seven, is
(18:50):
prohibited from purchasing, using, or being sold any tobacco products
within the Maldives.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Diane Ladd played Clark Griswold's on Christmas vacation. She's the
one that when the lights finally work said, oh Clark,
remember that moment. See that was a happy moment for
all of us. Hell yeah, maybe we've got to bring
it around, got to bring it around.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
There's always a sliver of uh, what's the line.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I don't know. You're the actor. You've got a big
show coming up, forgetting lines with.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
You here, I won't have to get up so early.
There is this silver lining to everything. Whisper thin?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh is that when your lines in the show? Is
that how you deliver it?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I don't know, would you like me to?
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I feel like it needs it. I feel like it
needs a little bit more affectation.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well, the joke itself is right before that, but I
don't want to give that away.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, how would you deliver that line? The silver little
way I just did? It wasn't enough you need?
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The line before that is the more important one. But
I can't tell you that because that gives away.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Part of the show.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Okay, I guess you're gonna have to come watch. I
am gonna come watch. I just hope it, you know,
I just.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Want you can you can walk out in that if
if that line offends and you feel like I haven't
brought my game, feel free to stand up and walk out.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You've got to remember what you're following up. I'm coming
off game seven. You got to bring it. Yeah, But
then the Chargers played in Tennessee, right, so right, you're right,
you're right. It brought the bar down a little bit
and whatever happened last night where the Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I got, I watched.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I wanted to watch football last night, Like my husband
built a fire. I've got my crossword puzzle. I know,
very exciting.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
A blanky.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I did have a blanky for my lap and I
want to watch football. The game's on and I'm just like,
this is the game is doing nothing for me, like
watching everyone drop a pass?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Did everyone drop a pass?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I felt like everyone dropped a pass in the first
quarter and I had to turn It was making me sad.
Just bad football. The Cowboys host on Monday night. They
invite a team that's lost five straight with a backup
quarterback and they blow it like that.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
They made Jakobe Prissette look pretty good and I.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Hate the Cowboys and I was upset by that.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You didn't see the manning cast. Peyton and Eli were
talking with Charles Barkley late in the cab, Yeah, and
they asked him, how do you feel about this?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I'm man.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I went for the Cowboys and eventually the Cardinals scored
a touchdown at one point while they had him on
and he just pulls out his betting slip.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, I just started.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I would have taken the Cowboys in that game too
at home?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
My goodness, all right, coming up next? What are we doing?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
You have the list? I don't have the list.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You don't have the list.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Wow, I'm the responsible one, which is the fight between
Disney and Google continues. Actually, no Monday Night football for
everyone who was blacked out of that game. Thank your
lucky stars. Enjoy yourself. Last night is what you did.
We'll talk about the few and when it will continue
when we return.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Every Isn't that incredible? We could be in the Maldives
right now?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Picture it a nineteen year old without a cigarette.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
I know us? Oh, us in the Maldives.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yes, well maybe not from therese Wait, not us, but
two people that are like us in the Maldives right now.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
There are versions of us.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
They're on a chaise lounge. It's quiet, there's a berreeze.
You can kind of hear the breeze, and over the
tips of your toes that you're looking out over on
your lounger is beautiful green sea.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
You have crabs in this hypothetical. Where were you last night?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
How quickly do you get crabs because in Sex and
the City, Charlotte got those like really quick, like the
next days.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
No, she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She was a good one, which is why it was
weird when she got crops. Anyway, you're there, you're looking
over your toes. There it is the serene waters of
whatever body of water is there in the Maldives? Is
it the Atlantic? I don't know, I've never been. And
(23:30):
in your air pods? Is this show? Does it get better?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
No?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You have a drink on the way.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Okay, I'm I'm listening.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's whatever you want it to be. Really, it could
be a Pini colada. It could be straight rum. It
could be a diet coke. Sure, a fridge cigarette, as
they call it, one.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Of each. What a nice day.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
This day is getting better.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Anyway, what are we doing?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I just have one one quick thing to follow up on,
and it was about the bat?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
The bat?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, no, gery, Shannon, it's Steve. What was the website
for the baseball bat?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Question? Nico?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Sorry, nicosports dot com, Nikco. Nikco sports dot Com.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Makes me kind of sad talking about that because my
dad was kind of hard to buy for, but you
get him. Sports memorabilia, and he was happy as a clam. Really,
I mean, you get him something from like that nineteen
forty six season, the inaugural season of the forty nine ers,
and my god, it was like a child getting a
bike on Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Tomorrow, We're going to talk a lot about this tomorrow,
not only election results coming in, of course, but there
is a huge Supreme Court case that's being argued in
front of the Supreme Court tomorrow about tariffs.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, knows how this is going to go.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I wanted to talk about this earlier in the week.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'm glad we'll talk about it tomorrow because, yeah, that
is a big one.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And again, nobody knows how this is going to go.
It's not a guarantee that any of the conservative that
any of the conservative justices would agree with President Trump
on this one. But Disney is said to be losing
about five million dollars every single day that they continue
in this standoff with YouTube TV. Disney pulled all of
(25:29):
its channels Think Disney Channel, Think ABC, Think ESPN, and
all of the channels associated with them on October thirtieth, because.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Disney is asking.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
For a carrier fee of whatever they're asking for and
YouTube TV doesn't want to pay it and said, listen
doesn't make financial sense for us to pay you all
of this money when we're trying to make money as well,
so they said, no soup for you. Disney could lose
about one hundred and fifty million dollars per month if
(26:02):
the ongoing fight goes on that long. This is the
math that they used to come up with that five
million dollars every day, about ten million monthly subscribers that
UTB TV has, and the fifteen dollars that Disney receives
per month per subscriber from TV providers for their content.
We don't know the exact amount in this case, but
they're going back and forth. We've seen this before when
(26:24):
major cable companies, for example, don't want to carry local
channels or even networks, and.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
They go back and forth.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Usually there's a few days where they don't carry a
specific channel, some of them reach a deal before that
actually comes down to it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
More importantly, I just got a text message from Joe
quan As she said, when is Gary's play and where?
And I wrote back this weekend and next question mark
correct and it is in Santa Clarita question correct also,
and I wrote we are going Saturday at and then
I couldn't remember what time it was.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Saturday is the matinee? Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:01):
No, isn't there an evening?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
No? What on Saturday? There's not.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Oh I'm glad we clarified this. There was never a
I thought you said you were going on Sunday. Anyway,
I have a game on Sunday, which is weird when
you said that you were going on Sunday. No, I'm
going Saturday. It's a matinee, it's a three pm. It
changes everything. Okay, Friday seven, Friday at seven, Saturday three, okay,
(27:29):
Sunday six.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, okay, so you're going to miss Sunday night football.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I will actually have my phone backstage.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
No, okay, well, then.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I will actually all effort that by the end of
the day today to have something up on.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
GULD be very helpful because people want to see you
in adult theater. You're playing a homeless man. If they
want to see you disheveled, I think it's going to
be a great role for you. It's it happened one
night night on Fifth Avenue. It happened on Fifth Avenue, right, Yeah,
multiple nights, multiple Nights takes place over about three weeks, right.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
But not at night this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Matine Oh it's a matinee.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Okay, the windows will be blacked out so you'll be
able to feel like night.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Oh, okay, I do love. It'll be I do love
a matinee.
