Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
if I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Is that Prince? What was that? Elmer? What was that?
It's the Jets. Oh, there's like eight people in this photo.
I don't know the Jets. What else do they do?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'll let you.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Born like three years ago, Gary Shannon kfi AM six
forty live everywhere on the ihet.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The Jets are from Minnesota. That's rocket to you. So
isn't that Prince is from Is it right? Yeah, let's
see here are members? Not Prince. No, I know that
he's not in it.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I just it's a Tongan American family band from Robinsdale,
Minnesota's never heard of it before?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Clear brothers and sisters, Leroy, Eddie, Eugene, Hyeni, Rudy, Kathy,
Elizabeth Mwana Wolfgraham started performing as a family band in
nineteen seventy seven. The wolf Grams a Tongan American family band.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Fascinating. What a blind spot it's for everyone. I've never
heard of them either.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Tomorrow's a big protest if you're not doing anything Tomorrow,
rage against the regime. Organizers say that they're going to
have tens of people out there demonstrations. The latest in
a series of protests are meant to mobilize masses of
people against the current administration's action.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Hey Elmer, can you find you got it All? And
or make It Real? Both ballads feature lead vocals by
Elizabeth Wolfgraham and both were number one hits on the
Billboard charts.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What they were nominated for a Grammy for that song
Rocket to You?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That was lead vocals by a different person, Hyeni Wolfgraham.
But Elizabeth's got the two number ones with her lead.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Hi, Shannon, I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I get a good name for the cat, your legal cat.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Why don't you name him? Kevin?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Number two? And Kevin the one that we've got to
let that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Go drop off the shelter.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Who would you rather do you want me to put
I'm going to put him in a bag and drop
him in the river.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Shelter when you dropped him off at the shelter. Thank you? Really,
they're gonna shame me for it. I made the decision.
Did you tell them at the shelter?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I have a baby and the cat's not getting along
with the baby, or do you just drop it off
like I don't want this again now?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You put him in a shoe box and left him
on the front stoop, or put him in the baby
hair into a fire station. No, and we took him
specifically to a place that was going to put him
up for a doctor.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You're yelling at me, and I'm not yelling at you.
I'm not the one that brought Kevin home, and I'm
not the one that brought the baby.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'm yelling at twenty five years of people who tell
me I did the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, you have shared that story.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I offered to give them to friends and family or
whoever wanted them, and they were.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Like, Nah, your filter in your internal dialogue box should
have told you never to share that story.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hi, darn Shannon.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Name for the cat?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Google?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hey, Google, Google, Go go Google? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Do we have that song by the Jets? Elmer God,
that's a good song.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Gallaine Maxwell has been moved guys to lower security prison
in Texas. Her attorney has not explained the move from
the detention facility in Florida where she's serving those twenty
years for sex trafficking, but She has been moved to
a prison in Brian, Texas. Minimum level of security is
known as a Federal prison camp no reason, and the
(03:54):
Justice Department will not comment now. This move of Glane
Maxwell comes one week after the Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche spent nearly two days interviewing her in Florida about
the Epstein case. Her attorney saying at the time that
Todd Blanche asked Maxwell about one hundred different people and
that Gallainne Maxwell had answered every single question truthfully into
(04:17):
the best of her ability. Now she has been subpoenaed
to give a deposition to Congress August eleventh. She's asked
for immunity to testify, but the committee that wants her
testimony has rejected that condition. But she has been moved,
so this may have been one of the bargaining chips.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
They better say something. You can't ignit. They can't.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Now they have to, right.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know who else is at FPC Brian, the Federal
Federal Prison Camp Brian.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No Elizabeth Holmes.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh, they could do yoga together. They could do juice cleanses.
She could be like rich girl club are.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You We'll see you and still still.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Blow I don't think she does that voice anymore. I
thought it was part of the acts.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, I think she's very soft.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Or maybe you have to be hard in prison. I
don't know what life is like on the inside.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well, my parents watched that movie about going to prison.
It was called geth. I cannot believe they saw that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The number of anal sex jokes in that movie is voluminous.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
And I wonder, Listen, in my mind, my parents didn't
understand those jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, they didn't either. In my mind they did not either.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The Blue Humor people, did they ever say anything that
was even on the line of being irreverent in the
terms of Blue Humor, to make any jokes or anything nothing?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
If they did, I have scrubbed them from my memory.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Wow, And they saw Get Hard in the theater based
on the title, the title I don't want to talk
about it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I could spend all day talking about it, all right.
Did the UCLA story one We'll do it we come back?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Also the Karen Bass sort of impromptu press conference that
she did while she was cleaning up the well while
the encampment was being cleaned up, behind her and a
question about why now, and we'll talk about the incorrect
answer that she gave.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We'll do swamp Watch at the top of the hour.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
There's also a story that next hour about getting rid
of microplastics in your blood. There's a new procedure where
they're going to run your blood through a filter and
hopefully they say get rid of microplastics. It sounds a
little dubious to me, but we'll talk about it too. Dude,
next hour, I fix the ears problem you did there? Yeah,
(06:56):
well they didn't in the instructions.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
There wasn't this piece to put on it, but my
lego intuitive brain said, hey, that piece might help fasten
these ears on that I.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Did notice the little black thing in the back. Yeah,
I was like, why is that black thing back there?
And now we know? Maybe you know what I mean? Hey, guys,
in honor of Chuck Connors, you should actually name the
cat rifle.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What about just Chuck Connors? What about if we just
named the cat Chuck Connors? Is that disrespectful?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Didn't he have a Winchester rifle that'd be a good
name Winchester.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I don't hate that, but we're burning people, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, I know, but we're burning people when it comes
to launchers. We're Winchester's when it comes to long guns.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I was wrong about that piece, I think. So now
your lego intuition is broken. That's of all that.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Shannon would have to approve. But you should name the
cat Shannon's probation officer, or maybe the lady that runs
the halfway house that Shannon lives out of, because she's
a felon.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But she can't have a gun. Are you? Are you fellon?
She's not allowed to have a gun.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
She's a fellen.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I think people think that I'm not allowed to have
a gun for legal reasons. For legal reason, No, that's
not why. This is like why I was suspended all
the time too. I'm very I'm much more interesting in
somebody's minds.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Come on, everybody, you know, you got to name it Willow.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Willow like the movie from nineteen eighty eight, Tarashley A
little guy.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Uh So, the Trump administration is suspending hundreds of science
research grants at different universities, and the latest to be
hit with this is UCLA According to a chancellor, UCLA
received the notice of the federal government, through control of
the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health
and other agencies, is suspending certain research funding to UCLA.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
This is not.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Exactly clear how big this is. About two hundred and
seventy eight grants that are funded by the National Science
Foundation have been suspended in a move that effects around
two two hundred and ten million dollars in research projects. Now,
some of them have been around for years. Officials and
spokespeople for the National Science Foundation didn't respond to any
(09:23):
of the emails from a couple of different reporters who
are trying to get information about why the grants were suspended,
but in a statement again Chancellor said the government is
cutting these grants. He didn't specify the funds or by
how much, but there is a The administration has been
(09:45):
saying that UCLA is and the chancellor at the time,
Gene Block, testified for a Congressional committee when they were
looking into campus anti semitism, and in February eight task
Force on Anti Semitism put together by the Trump administration
identified UCLA as one of the ten schools It says
(10:07):
it intended to visit as it investigates whether remedial action
has been warranted.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Is there in all out war on different universities a
collection of universities? Is there a list of universities that
the Trump administration is going after?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And how do you land on that list? Well, so
I assume it's put together by this task force. But the.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Problem that they're seeing, well, the problem that came up
that I noticed was most of those schools were back east.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, you're talking.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Harvard is really the one that's getting most of the
publicity because of the fight that they were willing to
get into, and now it appears their willingness to settle
this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, I just googled to find out if there's a list.
ABC News has a look of colleges with federal money
targeted by the Trump administration, and it's just a detailed
list of several elite schools that have made a deal.
He's looking to make deals with everybody, and universities.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Are no different.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Brown, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania have all reached agreements to
resolve federal investigations.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And you've got to ask yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Why why would you capitulate if you truly believed in
what you were doing and that you were not an
anti Semitic campus, and that you are protecting all students
and all.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
The things money Trump's all of that. Yeah, you're right,
I mean they were. They're talking about making deals in
the millions of dollars to keep hundreds of millions of
dollars flowing their way. The Department of Justice did conclude
in an investigation into UCLA that quote, Jewish and Israeli
(11:51):
students at UCLA were subjected to severe harassment that is
at least stemmed from those campus protests that we saw
last year that blew up, and UCLA was one of
the worst offenders when it came to carving out specific
areas for what they said were peaceful protests that we
(12:12):
know were not the case. That was not the way
that it went down. So they run the risk of
losing now hundreds of millions, a couple hundred million dollars
worth of science moneies that would be going in there now.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
There was also a settlement that just came in sorry
I got the mouse ears on.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
A settlement, UCLA and the lawyers for the UC system
agreed to settle with several Jewish students who sued the
company sued the campus, I should say, over the encampments
last spring.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Last year.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The federal judge in that case did side with those
plaintiffs who said the anti Israeli sentiment displayed by protesters
violated their religious liberties and that Jewish students were actually
excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused
to denounce their faith. And some of those incidents were
actually caught on video that we saw people saying that
(13:06):
they were they were not going to allow Jewish students
to pass through a public campus until they renounced their
Jewish faith.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I have another question here. It's not just the anti
Semitic fights. It's also the male versus female. What the
definitions are when it comes to how the universities are
identifying people consideration of race from admission processes. I'm wondering
how many universities are often mired in lawsuits that we
(13:36):
don't know about, and we're only hearing about it because
it's the name Trump versus these different higher education That
is a good question institutions. You've got to believe that
there are lawsuits targeting universities like Harvard and Columbia and
everybody else all the time for admissions processes and the
(13:56):
like or discrimination period. They just don't get the headlines
because it's not Trump affiliated.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, yeah, that is very possible.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
There are a counter suit, Well, it doesn't necessarily count
as a countersuit, but there are people who were in
those encampments who are also suing for the injuries that
the pro Palestinian protesters suffered during the encampment when a
mob attacked it. The plaintiffs in that case said that
never even alleged the members of the Solidary encampment excluded them,
(14:29):
let alone because of their religion. Ucile refused to meaning
meaningfully defended students and faculty against unsupported allegations. So two
sides yelling at each other for no great reason. All right,
Karen Bass is upset with people suggesting that she's cleaning
house because companies coming. Well, that's the exact way it
(14:50):
should happen, is you should clean up your house when company.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You should, and you shouldn't be ashamed about it, right, shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But she is.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, how about call him a cat
roadkill because an only good cat is one that's.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Been under a tire.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Wow, that guy's trying to make you feel better about
the whole Kevin fiasco.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I think that I thank him for that.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
It's nice of him being on my side all but
I'm not into killing the cat.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Listen, you had to protect your baby after and you
protect babies. Let's not forget about the time that you
broke that baby out of the hot car by breaking
a window.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
This is what you do. You protect babies at.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
All costs, even if it means giving my cat to
a shelter that he will then be adopted from. Yes, Okay,
what an evil person?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I am no argument that you're I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
But other people already say I'm an evil Gary Shannon
will continue.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Down day on the market today.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
The Dow is down about six hundred and forty points
right now. At least part of that driven by treasury
yields falling. Government reported a sharp slowdown in hiring last month,
so we've seen these negative, negative red arrows on Wall Street.
These weak hiring numbers led investors to step up their
(16:16):
expectations for an interest rate cut in September. Of course,
President Trump has also issued a set of sweeping new
import duties that will apply to dozens of countries as
of August seventh. We would love to find out information
about why Galline Maxwell was moved from a federal prison
in Florida to a cushier federal prison camp in Texas.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, did it have something to do with her demands
of rolling on more people as we just reported. Her
attorneys say that she talked about one hundred different people
that were asked by the Deputy Attorney General earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And her attorney does confirm the move, but won't say
why she was moved.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Karen Bass has denied the link between cleaning up homeless
encampments and the Olympics, the upcoming sports events in the city.
There was a lot of upsetment yesterday when La City
Creuz moved in a clear large homeless encampment along the
four five in Van Eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So she was there with a bunch of people to
clean this place up. It's been not just an eye sore,
but there have been multiple fires at this place. It's
dangerous because people are using propane tanks for heat and cooking,
so this became an issue yesterday. She was asked by reporters,
why today.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Why is the actually being taken today?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh, you know, you know, we've responded to encampments all
the time. It took a while to amass the resources
to house everybody in this encampment. We rarely encounter encampments
as large as this because we try to take people
together so that we don't break up the com unity.
Because what we do acknowledge when you see these encampments,
(18:03):
these are communities. So we don't want to separate the people,
so we take as many of them as we can
into the same motel.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Now, part of the issue, it seems, when it comes
to figuring out a fix for homelessness in LA and
southern California in general, California even more broadly, is we've
got to stop painting these rosy images of what goes
on in these encampments. It's not I mean, I guess technically, yes,
(18:35):
it is a community, but community brings with it a
positive spin on what is an open air drug den
or an open air psych facility with no doctors?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Like, yes, that's not what it's She wants to paint
this image. These are just a group of downtrodden artists
and philosophers who find community to get No, no, no,
that's not what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, I'm glad you seized on that because when you
were playing that bite off the air and I'm like
community in my community, that is not what that is.
That is not the true sense of the word. Do
people help out people on the streets, sure, but that
is not a community when you've got needles and murders
and rapes and all the things going on there that
(19:22):
everyone looks the other way for because.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You don't want to put people inside that want to
be outside.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
She said it was pretty violent yesterday in terms of
a cleanup because there were protesters there trying to prevent
police and SHARE's deputies from doing their job.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
We cannot accept Angelino's living like this. Some people actually
fight for people to stay in these kind of conditions,
and how.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Dare they you?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You're one of them. Just called it a communit.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You're an enabler if you're calling it a community exactly
all right, what are you even talking about? That is
talking out of both sides of your mouth. If I've
ever heard one of the other issues is obviously the
city of La the greater area.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
We're hosting several international events in the coming years, including
World Cup, including I think Super Bowl is coming back,
if I'm not mistaken. We always have high profile events here,
but we're going to see even more international attention when
it comes to the Olympics in twenty eight. So a
reporter asked the mayor yesterday, if that's what's driving the
(20:28):
cleanup InnoVision we.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Have major sports events come into our city. Exactly?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Is this part of the cleanup process?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
This is not because of sporting events happening. On day
one of my administration, I declared a state of emergency
and we have been removing encampments and housing people for
two and a half years and we will continue doing
it as long as I sit in the mayor zone.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Now, listen, I'm not going to discredit her because this
inside Safe program that she has been working on has
shown a measure of success.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It's not enough, but it is something.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
But why not just acknowledge, Yeah, this is an opportunity
for us to put some pressure on the homelessness advocates
or the homelessness industrial complex, to use a jaded term
and to show yeah, it is possible, and we can't
(21:21):
just allow her word communities to continue to spring up
wherever there's a broken chain link fence. There's nothing wrong
with saying, yeah, we want to clean up the city, right.
We want to clean up the city because the eyes
of the world are going to be on Los Angeles.
We want to make sure that people get the best
image that they can.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
There's nothing wrong with saying that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
When is our first event, isn't it because of our
parts all the time? I say, next year we host
the NBA All Star Game as well as the FIFA
World Cup, and then the Super Bowl comes to Inglewood
in twenty twenty seven. Now, if we're talking about Inglewood
and so I Stadium, which I go to on the
Rag and I get off at Manchester there along the
(22:04):
one ten, routinely that is a homeless encampment. Routinely they
clean it up and then it's back to being a
homeless encampment.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
There pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Why are they wasting time and resources cleaning now, right,
is my question? Because these are quite literally pop up
cities that.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Will pop up in a matter of hours.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
She would That's actually something she also referenced was once
these things get cleaned up, we need to make sure
that we surveil the areas and make it that if
one tent goes back up in those.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Areas, that it's taken down immediately.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
We want to stop the communities and get them housed
before they actually corn.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
So this area I'm sure will be.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Gated off and it will be constantly surveilled to make
sure that.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
People do not want.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
It's again, it seems to me that even if you
can't use the right language, you're not attacking this with
the right attitude. And pasting the community keyword on what's
going on in these homeless encampments doesn't do them any justice.
You may make them feel better about what they're doing,
(23:14):
but again, legislating by feelings is not working in the
state of California.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That's right, Gary, you'd say that again. That's right Gary.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's Friday. So what you learned this week on the
Gary and Channon shows coming up? Leave us a talkback
message and tell us what you learned this week while
you were listening to Gary and Channon.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Coming up, We've got over medicated veterinarians veterans.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Ah, yeah, I just said just said vets on the
old Rudd down here. How many people are listening to this?
Just sounds like there's a whole crowd out there. But hey,
these legos are coming a log. No they're not. What
do you mean, No, they're not? I got I got
to do that. I'm trying to do a show here.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, how about he named the cat Edward,
as in the Edward Award that you guys never receive
Edward Award.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Who calls him the Edward Award?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
That's really inside baseball, you guys. Glad to hear you
both on the air at the same time. Okay, hopefully
it stays this way for a while. It was what
one day? What one day?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Call your cat?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Move got?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Isn't that the name from the Stiller? Yes, thank you,
you got to call him, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
I just wanted to give you a compliment.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
I listened to you and every day because I'm an
outside sales rep, so I have you on on my
car radio. But my husband does not listen during the
day because his job does not allow. But last night
he was listening to commentate the Charger game Lion's game
and was super impressed with how much knowledge you had
your comfortable attitude with all the players, old and new.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Great job.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
You actually impressed my sports enthusiast usband.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's very nice. Thank you. That's very nice. Made my day.
I thought you said the lego cat was what made
your day. It did until I got that nice compliment.
You ever been stung by a stingray? I don't know
anybody who has. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I've been scared that I've touched a stingray, but it
was most likely a seal in the water.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Would either one of those would probably creep you out,
wouldn't you know?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Like back in the day when I was a youth
and we'd boogie board.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh yeah, go.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Visit my aunt down on Carl's Bad and we boogey board.
And I remember one time kicking something and thinking, because
your mind goes to worst case.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now, clearly it's a sting right, it must be a shark.
But it was all a seal.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
But where do you encounter I've seen StingRay's beach in
Huntington Beach. I've seen them in the in the channel
there in the harbor.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They can sting and it can hurt a lot. My
daughter was actually stumbling. Really when was that boy? Well,
she was playing volleyball. So mid fourteen fifteen, I want
to say, where were you in? A stingray farm made me?
Where were we? She was at the beach oh locally?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and it didn't know what it was
at first, and it got infected and like it was
really very painful.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Where was it on her foot? On her foot? What
did it look like? It didn't? Well, see that's the thing,
is her foot swelled up, swoll up? What's the past ten? Well, well,
swelled up, I believe swelled.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Her foot did swell up, and there was one tiny
little looked like a puncture, you know, of where it
obviously stung her, but it's not like it leaves a
bar It can, but it didn't leave a barb in
her or anything except it got infected, so maybe it
did now I think.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, so what did you do? Did you have to
take some sort of antibiotic or something? We just took
the foot. We took the foot, She took their foot. Yeah,
it's an easier way to do it. Sure, you probably just.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do that at home. Right, Why why do anything about
taking her anywhere for us?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's why you have that drainage. It's it's a commercial.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Train in the middle of the Yeah. In Seal Beach,
they're saying lifeguards typically treat about one sting ray sting
per day, but the number has climbed to about a
dozen a day, and in some of these recent days
they've seen as many as twenty stingrays that have stung people,
or twenty stings that are reported their bottom dwellers. They
(27:55):
sting and they're stepped on a lot of times. One
one beach visitor, A visitor cash describe the sensation as
more intense than a beasting, followed by tingling and discomfort
that only subsides after you soak.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The wound in hot water. It's terrifying.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
They've even kept some of the dislodged stingray barbs as souvenirs.
A lot of the beach safety lifeguard people beach safety
officials have said things like shuffle your feet, drag your
feet along the ocean sand to scare away some of
the nearby stingrays. Beach goers who might be stung should
(28:34):
tell a lifeguard immediately. Most of them are equipped with
a treatment kit that would include a hot water bath,
which is Like I said, the primary method used to
relieve the pain reduce the effects of the venom. The
water should be as hot as you can tolerate, and
the wound should be monitored for signs of infection or complications.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well, I I just stay out of the water.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I always thought that jellyfish were a bigger and maybe
it's a northern California the jellyfish are a bigger issue,
more common problem. But I was always terrified at jellyfish.
Those things are nasty. Like somebody hawks a loogie.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
On this, it's all very The creatures of the sea
are all very terrifying for me. And you know, it's
a healthy it's a healthy fear I think to have that.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But you're are you afraid of open ocean? Yes, very
much so. So you wouldn't swim. You wouldn't go to
the beach and swim. No.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
No, I'd go to the beach and I get about
mid calf and that's enough for me.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Deep as you go. I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'd never had a problem with the ocean. I've I've
never been afraid of it or anything like that. And
the seaweed and the kelp up north is much thicker
than it is around here. But when I was when
I was in Mawa and did the old snorkeling, uh huh,
seeing the bottom of the ocean disappear. I mean the
(29:54):
whole idea of snorkeling is you're gonna see that, you're
gonna be on the reef and you're going to watch
all the fish and all that sort of stuff. But
we were one specific area where it goes down. They
said the depth was about four hundred feet and obviously
you can't see at that point. That's creepy because you
don't know what's down there, right, And that's the part
that was a little bit to uh, you know, know it's.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Coming to get you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It looks up. She's a piece of white mate, big old,
big old doe. You know, it's all juicy and bliss.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
The gristle, the gristle on that one. It's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I was wearing my speeder to show them all my biz,
all my biz. Can you not call it that my biz? Yeah,
we'll do swamp watch when we come back to Gary
and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
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 k

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Is that Prince? What was that? Elmer? What was that?
It's the Jets. Oh, there's like eight people in this photo.
I don't know the Jets. What else do they do?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'll let you.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Born like three years ago, Gary Shannon kfi AM six

Speaker 2 (00:36):
The Jets are from Minnesota. That's rocket to you. So
isn't that Prince is from Is it right? Yeah, let's
see here are members? Not Prince. No, I know that
he's not in it.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I just it's a Tongan American family band from Robinsdale,
Minnesota's never heard of it before?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Clear brothers and sisters, Leroy, Eddie, Eugene, Hyeni, Rudy, Kathy,
Elizabeth Mwana Wolfgraham started performing as a family band in
nineteen seventy seven. The wolf Grams a Tongan American family band.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Fascinating. What a blind spot it's for everyone. I've never
heard of them either.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Tomorrow's a big protest if you're not doing anything Tomorrow,
rage against the regime. Organizers say that they're going to
have tens of people out there demonstrations. The latest in
a series of protests are meant to mobilize masses of
people against the current administration's action.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Hey Elmer, can you find you got it All? And
or make It Real? Both ballads feature lead vocals by
Elizabeth Wolfgraham and both were number one hits on the
Billboard charts.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What they were nominated for a Grammy for that song
Rocket to You?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That was lead vocals by a different person, Hyeni Wolfgraham.
But Elizabeth's got the two number ones with her lead.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Hi, Shannon, I really enjoy your show.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I get a good name for the cat, your legal cat.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Why don't you name him? Kevin?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Number two? And Kevin the one that we've got to
let that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Go drop off the shelter.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Who would you rather do you want me to put
I'm going to put him in a bag and drop
him in the river.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Shelter when you dropped him off at the shelter. Thank you? Really,
they're gonna shame me for it. I made the decision.
Did you tell them at the shelter?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I have a baby and the cat's not getting along
with the baby, or do you just drop it off
like I don't want this again now?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You put him in a shoe box and left him
on the front stoop, or put him in the baby
hair into a fire station. No, and we took him
specifically to a place that was going to put him
up for a doctor.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You're yelling at me, and I'm not yelling at you.
I'm not the one that brought Kevin home, and I'm
not the one that brought the baby.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'm yelling at twenty five years of people who tell
me I did the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Well, you have shared that story.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I offered to give them to friends and family or
whoever wanted them, and they were.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Like, Nah, your filter in your internal dialogue box should
have told you never to share that story.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hi, darn Shannon.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Name for the cat?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Google?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hey, Google, Google, Go go Google? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Do we have that song by the Jets? Elmer God,
that's a good song.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Gallaine Maxwell has been moved guys to lower security prison
in Texas. Her attorney has not explained the move from
the detention facility in Florida where she's serving those twenty
years for sex trafficking, but She has been moved to
a prison in Brian, Texas. Minimum level of security is
known as a Federal prison camp no reason, and the
(03:54):
Justice Department will not comment now. This move of Glane
Maxwell comes one week after the Deputy Attorney General Todd
Blanche spent nearly two days interviewing her in Florida about
the Epstein case. Her attorney saying at the time that
Todd Blanche asked Maxwell about one hundred different people and
that Gallainne Maxwell had answered every single question truthfully into
(04:17):
the best of her ability. Now she has been subpoenaed
to give a deposition to Congress August eleventh. She's asked
for immunity to testify, but the committee that wants her
testimony has rejected that condition. But she has been moved,
so this may have been one of the bargaining chips.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
They better say something. You can't ignit. They can't.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Now they have to, right.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
You know who else is at FPC Brian, the Federal
Federal Prison Camp Brian.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No Elizabeth Holmes.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Oh, they could do yoga together. They could do juice cleanses.
She could be like rich girl club are.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You We'll see you and still still.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Blow I don't think she does that voice anymore. I
thought it was part of the acts.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, I think she's very soft.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Or maybe you have to be hard in prison. I
don't know what life is like on the inside.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well, my parents watched that movie about going to prison.
It was called geth. I cannot believe they saw that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The number of anal sex jokes in that movie is voluminous.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
And I wonder, Listen, in my mind, my parents didn't
understand those jokes.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, they didn't either. In my mind they did not either.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The Blue Humor people, did they ever say anything that
was even on the line of being irreverent in the
terms of Blue Humor, to make any jokes or anything nothing?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
If they did, I have scrubbed them from my memory.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Wow, And they saw Get Hard in the theater based
on the title, the title I don't want to talk
about it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I could spend all day talking about it, all right.
Did the UCLA story one We'll do it we come back?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Also the Karen Bass sort of impromptu press conference that
she did while she was cleaning up the well while
the encampment was being cleaned up, behind her and a
question about why now, and we'll talk about the incorrect
answer that she gave.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We'll do swamp Watch at the top of the hour.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
There's also a story that next hour about getting rid
of microplastics in your blood. There's a new procedure where
they're going to run your blood through a filter and
hopefully they say get rid of microplastics. It sounds a
little dubious to me, but we'll talk about it too. Dude,
next hour, I fix the ears problem you did there? Yeah,
(06:56):
well they didn't in the instructions.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
There wasn't this piece to put on it, but my
lego intuitive brain said, hey, that piece might help fasten
these ears on that I.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Did notice the little black thing in the back. Yeah,
I was like, why is that black thing back there?
And now we know? Maybe you know what I mean? Hey, guys,
in honor of Chuck Connors, you should actually name the
cat rifle.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What about just Chuck Connors? What about if we just
named the cat Chuck Connors? Is that disrespectful?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Didn't he have a Winchester rifle that'd be a good
name Winchester.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, I don't hate that, but we're burning people, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, I know, but we're burning people when it comes
to launchers. We're Winchester's when it comes to long guns.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I was wrong about that piece, I think. So now
your lego intuition is broken. That's of all that.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Shannon would have to approve. But you should name the
cat Shannon's probation officer, or maybe the lady that runs
the halfway house that Shannon lives out of, because she's
a felon.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But she can't have a gun. Are you? Are you fellon?
She's not allowed to have a gun.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
She's a fellen.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I think people think that I'm not allowed to have
a gun for legal reasons. For legal reason, No, that's
not why. This is like why I was suspended all
the time too. I'm very I'm much more interesting in
somebody's minds.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Come on, everybody, you know, you got to name it Willow.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Willow like the movie from nineteen eighty eight, Tarashley A
little guy.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Uh So, the Trump administration is suspending hundreds of science
research grants at different universities, and the latest to be
hit with this is UCLA According to a chancellor, UCLA
received the notice of the federal government, through control of
the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health
and other agencies, is suspending certain research funding to UCLA.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
This is not.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Exactly clear how big this is. About two hundred and
seventy eight grants that are funded by the National Science
Foundation have been suspended in a move that effects around
two two hundred and ten million dollars in research projects. Now,
some of them have been around for years. Officials and
spokespeople for the National Science Foundation didn't respond to any
(09:23):
of the emails from a couple of different reporters who
are trying to get information about why the grants were suspended,
but in a statement again Chancellor said the government is
cutting these grants. He didn't specify the funds or by
how much, but there is a The administration has been
(09:45):
saying that UCLA is and the chancellor at the time,
Gene Block, testified for a Congressional committee when they were
looking into campus anti semitism, and in February eight task
Force on Anti Semitism put together by the Trump administration
identified UCLA as one of the ten schools It says
(10:07):
it intended to visit as it investigates whether remedial action
has been warranted.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Is there in all out war on different universities a
collection of universities? Is there a list of universities that
the Trump administration is going after?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And how do you land on that list? Well, so
I assume it's put together by this task force. But the.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Problem that they're seeing, well, the problem that came up
that I noticed was most of those schools were back east.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You know, you're talking.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Harvard is really the one that's getting most of the
publicity because of the fight that they were willing to
get into, and now it appears their willingness to settle
this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, I just googled to find out if there's a list.
ABC News has a look of colleges with federal money
targeted by the Trump administration, and it's just a detailed
list of several elite schools that have made a deal.
He's looking to make deals with everybody, and universities.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Are no different.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Brown, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania have all reached agreements to
resolve federal investigations.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And you've got to ask yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Why why would you capitulate if you truly believed in
what you were doing and that you were not an
anti Semitic campus, and that you are protecting all students
and all.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
The things money Trump's all of that. Yeah, you're right,
I mean they were. They're talking about making deals in
the millions of dollars to keep hundreds of millions of
dollars flowing their way. The Department of Justice did conclude
in an investigation into UCLA that quote, Jewish and Israeli
(11:51):
students at UCLA were subjected to severe harassment that is
at least stemmed from those campus protests that we saw
last year that blew up, and UCLA was one of
the worst offenders when it came to carving out specific
areas for what they said were peaceful protests that we
(12:12):
know were not the case. That was not the way
that it went down. So they run the risk of
losing now hundreds of millions, a couple hundred million dollars
worth of science moneies that would be going in there now.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
There was also a settlement that just came in sorry
I got the mouse ears on.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
A settlement, UCLA and the lawyers for the UC system
agreed to settle with several Jewish students who sued the
company sued the campus, I should say, over the encampments
last spring.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Last year.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The federal judge in that case did side with those
plaintiffs who said the anti Israeli sentiment displayed by protesters
violated their religious liberties and that Jewish students were actually
excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused
to denounce their faith. And some of those incidents were
actually caught on video that we saw people saying that
(13:06):
they were they were not going to allow Jewish students
to pass through a public campus until they renounced their
Jewish faith.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I have another question here. It's not just the anti
Semitic fights. It's also the male versus female. What the
definitions are when it comes to how the universities are
identifying people consideration of race from admission processes. I'm wondering
how many universities are often mired in lawsuits that we
(13:36):
don't know about, and we're only hearing about it because
it's the name Trump versus these different higher education That
is a good question institutions. You've got to believe that
there are lawsuits targeting universities like Harvard and Columbia and
everybody else all the time for admissions processes and the
(13:56):
like or discrimination period. They just don't get the headlines
because it's not Trump affiliated.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, yeah, that is very possible.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
There are a counter suit, Well, it doesn't necessarily count
as a countersuit, but there are people who were in
those encampments who are also suing for the injuries that
the pro Palestinian protesters suffered during the encampment when a
mob attacked it. The plaintiffs in that case said that
never even alleged the members of the Solidary encampment excluded them,
(14:29):
let alone because of their religion. Ucile refused to meaning
meaningfully defended students and faculty against unsupported allegations. So two
sides yelling at each other for no great reason. All right,
Karen Bass is upset with people suggesting that she's cleaning
house because companies coming. Well, that's the exact way it
(14:50):
should happen, is you should clean up your house when company.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You should, and you shouldn't be ashamed about it, right, shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
But she is.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, how about call him a cat
roadkill because an only good cat is one that's.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Been under a tire.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Wow, that guy's trying to make you feel better about
the whole Kevin fiasco.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I think that I thank him for that.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
It's nice of him being on my side all but
I'm not into killing the cat.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Listen, you had to protect your baby after and you
protect babies. Let's not forget about the time that you
broke that baby out of the hot car by breaking
a window.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
This is what you do. You protect babies at.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
All costs, even if it means giving my cat to
a shelter that he will then be adopted from. Yes, Okay,
what an evil person?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I am no argument that you're I know, I know.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
But other people already say I'm an evil Gary Shannon
will continue.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Down day on the market today.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
The Dow is down about six hundred and forty points
right now. At least part of that driven by treasury
yields falling. Government reported a sharp slowdown in hiring last month,
so we've seen these negative, negative red arrows on Wall Street.
These weak hiring numbers led investors to step up their
(16:16):
expectations for an interest rate cut in September. Of course,
President Trump has also issued a set of sweeping new
import duties that will apply to dozens of countries as
of August seventh. We would love to find out information
about why Galline Maxwell was moved from a federal prison
in Florida to a cushier federal prison camp in Texas.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, did it have something to do with her demands
of rolling on more people as we just reported. Her
attorneys say that she talked about one hundred different people
that were asked by the Deputy Attorney General earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And her attorney does confirm the move, but won't say
why she was moved.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Karen Bass has denied the link between cleaning up homeless
encampments and the Olympics, the upcoming sports events in the city.
There was a lot of upsetment yesterday when La City
Creuz moved in a clear large homeless encampment along the
four five in Van Eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So she was there with a bunch of people to
clean this place up. It's been not just an eye sore,
but there have been multiple fires at this place. It's
dangerous because people are using propane tanks for heat and cooking,
so this became an issue yesterday. She was asked by reporters,
why today.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Why is the actually being taken today?
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh, you know, you know, we've responded to encampments all
the time. It took a while to amass the resources
to house everybody in this encampment. We rarely encounter encampments
as large as this because we try to take people
together so that we don't break up the com unity.
Because what we do acknowledge when you see these encampments,
(18:03):
these are communities. So we don't want to separate the people,
so we take as many of them as we can
into the same motel.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Now, part of the issue, it seems, when it comes
to figuring out a fix for homelessness in LA and
southern California in general, California even more broadly, is we've
got to stop painting these rosy images of what goes
on in these encampments. It's not I mean, I guess technically, yes,
(18:35):
it is a community, but community brings with it a
positive spin on what is an open air drug den
or an open air psych facility with no doctors?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Like, yes, that's not what it's She wants to paint
this image. These are just a group of downtrodden artists
and philosophers who find community to get No, no, no,
that's not what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah, I'm glad you seized on that because when you
were playing that bite off the air and I'm like
community in my community, that is not what that is.
That is not the true sense of the word. Do
people help out people on the streets, sure, but that
is not a community when you've got needles and murders
and rapes and all the things going on there that
(19:22):
everyone looks the other way for because.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You don't want to put people inside that want to
be outside.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
She said it was pretty violent yesterday in terms of
a cleanup because there were protesters there trying to prevent
police and SHARE's deputies from doing their job.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
We cannot accept Angelino's living like this. Some people actually
fight for people to stay in these kind of conditions,
and how.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Dare they you?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You're one of them. Just called it a communit.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You're an enabler if you're calling it a community exactly
all right, what are you even talking about? That is
talking out of both sides of your mouth. If I've
ever heard one of the other issues is obviously the
city of La the greater area.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
We're hosting several international events in the coming years, including
World Cup, including I think Super Bowl is coming back,
if I'm not mistaken. We always have high profile events here,
but we're going to see even more international attention when
it comes to the Olympics in twenty eight. So a
reporter asked the mayor yesterday, if that's what's driving the
(20:28):
cleanup InnoVision we.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Have major sports events come into our city. Exactly?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Is this part of the cleanup process?
Speaker 8 (20:33):
This is not because of sporting events happening. On day
one of my administration, I declared a state of emergency
and we have been removing encampments and housing people for
two and a half years and we will continue doing
it as long as I sit in the mayor zone.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Now, listen, I'm not going to discredit her because this
inside Safe program that she has been working on has
shown a measure of success.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It's not enough, but it is something.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
But why not just acknowledge, Yeah, this is an opportunity
for us to put some pressure on the homelessness advocates
or the homelessness industrial complex, to use a jaded term
and to show yeah, it is possible, and we can't
(21:21):
just allow her word communities to continue to spring up
wherever there's a broken chain link fence. There's nothing wrong
with saying, yeah, we want to clean up the city, right.
We want to clean up the city because the eyes
of the world are going to be on Los Angeles.
We want to make sure that people get the best
image that they can.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
There's nothing wrong with saying that.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
When is our first event, isn't it because of our
parts all the time? I say, next year we host
the NBA All Star Game as well as the FIFA
World Cup, and then the Super Bowl comes to Inglewood
in twenty twenty seven. Now, if we're talking about Inglewood
and so I Stadium, which I go to on the
Rag and I get off at Manchester there along the
(22:04):
one ten, routinely that is a homeless encampment. Routinely they
clean it up and then it's back to being a
homeless encampment.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
There pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Why are they wasting time and resources cleaning now, right,
is my question? Because these are quite literally pop up
cities that.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Will pop up in a matter of hours.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
She would That's actually something she also referenced was once
these things get cleaned up, we need to make sure
that we surveil the areas and make it that if
one tent goes back up in those.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Areas, that it's taken down immediately.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
We want to stop the communities and get them housed
before they actually corn.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
So this area I'm sure will be.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Gated off and it will be constantly surveilled to make
sure that.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
People do not want.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
It's again, it seems to me that even if you
can't use the right language, you're not attacking this with
the right attitude. And pasting the community keyword on what's
going on in these homeless encampments doesn't do them any justice.
You may make them feel better about what they're doing,
(23:14):
but again, legislating by feelings is not working in the
state of California.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That's right, Gary, you'd say that again. That's right Gary.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
It's Friday. So what you learned this week on the
Gary and Channon shows coming up? Leave us a talkback
message and tell us what you learned this week while
you were listening to Gary and Channon.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Coming up, We've got over medicated veterinarians veterans.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Ah, yeah, I just said just said vets on the
old Rudd down here. How many people are listening to this?
Just sounds like there's a whole crowd out there. But hey,
these legos are coming a log. No they're not. What
do you mean, No, they're not? I got I got
to do that. I'm trying to do a show here.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, how about he named the cat Edward,
as in the Edward Award that you guys never receive
Edward Award.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Who calls him the Edward Award?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
That's really inside baseball, you guys. Glad to hear you
both on the air at the same time. Okay, hopefully
it stays this way for a while. It was what
one day? What one day?
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Call your cat?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Move got?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Isn't that the name from the Stiller? Yes, thank you,
you got to call him, Shannon.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
I just wanted to give you a compliment.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
I listened to you and every day because I'm an
outside sales rep, so I have you on on my
car radio. But my husband does not listen during the
day because his job does not allow. But last night
he was listening to commentate the Charger game Lion's game
and was super impressed with how much knowledge you had
your comfortable attitude with all the players, old and new.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Great job.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
You actually impressed my sports enthusiast usband.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's very nice. Thank you. That's very nice. Made my day.
I thought you said the lego cat was what made
your day. It did until I got that nice compliment.
You ever been stung by a stingray? I don't know
anybody who has. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I've been scared that I've touched a stingray, but it
was most likely a seal in the water.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Would either one of those would probably creep you out,
wouldn't you know?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Like back in the day when I was a youth
and we'd boogie board.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh yeah, go.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Visit my aunt down on Carl's Bad and we boogey board.
And I remember one time kicking something and thinking, because
your mind goes to worst case.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Now, clearly it's a sting right, it must be a shark.
But it was all a seal.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
But where do you encounter I've seen StingRay's beach in
Huntington Beach. I've seen them in the in the channel
there in the harbor.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They can sting and it can hurt a lot. My
daughter was actually stumbling. Really when was that boy? Well,
she was playing volleyball. So mid fourteen fifteen, I want
to say, where were you in? A stingray farm made me?
Where were we? She was at the beach oh locally?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah, okay, yeah, and it didn't know what it was
at first, and it got infected and like it was
really very painful.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Where was it on her foot? On her foot? What
did it look like? It didn't? Well, see that's the thing,
is her foot swelled up, swoll up? What's the past ten? Well, well,
swelled up, I believe swelled.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Her foot did swell up, and there was one tiny
little looked like a puncture, you know, of where it
obviously stung her, but it's not like it leaves a
bar It can, but it didn't leave a barb in
her or anything except it got infected, so maybe it
did now I think.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, so what did you do? Did you have to
take some sort of antibiotic or something? We just took
the foot. We took the foot, She took their foot. Yeah,
it's an easier way to do it. Sure, you probably just.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do that at home. Right, Why why do anything about
taking her anywhere for us?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
That's why you have that drainage. It's it's a commercial.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Train in the middle of the Yeah. In Seal Beach,
they're saying lifeguards typically treat about one sting ray sting
per day, but the number has climbed to about a
dozen a day, and in some of these recent days
they've seen as many as twenty stingrays that have stung people,
or twenty stings that are reported their bottom dwellers. They
(27:55):
sting and they're stepped on a lot of times. One
one beach visitor, A visitor cash describe the sensation as
more intense than a beasting, followed by tingling and discomfort
that only subsides after you soak.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
The wound in hot water. It's terrifying.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
They've even kept some of the dislodged stingray barbs as souvenirs.
A lot of the beach safety lifeguard people beach safety
officials have said things like shuffle your feet, drag your
feet along the ocean sand to scare away some of
the nearby stingrays. Beach goers who might be stung should
(28:34):
tell a lifeguard immediately. Most of them are equipped with
a treatment kit that would include a hot water bath,
which is Like I said, the primary method used to
relieve the pain reduce the effects of the venom. The
water should be as hot as you can tolerate, and
the wound should be monitored for signs of infection or complications.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Well, I I just stay out of the water.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I always thought that jellyfish were a bigger and maybe
it's a northern California the jellyfish are a bigger issue,
more common problem. But I was always terrified at jellyfish.
Those things are nasty. Like somebody hawks a loogie.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
On this, it's all very The creatures of the sea
are all very terrifying for me. And you know, it's
a healthy it's a healthy fear I think to have that.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
But you're are you afraid of open ocean? Yes, very
much so. So you wouldn't swim. You wouldn't go to
the beach and swim. No.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
No, I'd go to the beach and I get about
mid calf and that's enough for me.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Deep as you go. I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I'd never had a problem with the ocean. I've I've
never been afraid of it or anything like that. And
the seaweed and the kelp up north is much thicker
than it is around here. But when I was when
I was in Mawa and did the old snorkeling, uh huh,
seeing the bottom of the ocean disappear. I mean the
(29:54):
whole idea of snorkeling is you're gonna see that, you're
gonna be on the reef and you're going to watch
all the fish and all that sort of stuff. But
we were one specific area where it goes down. They
said the depth was about four hundred feet and obviously
you can't see at that point. That's creepy because you
don't know what's down there, right, And that's the part
that was a little bit to uh, you know, know it's.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Coming to get you.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It looks up. She's a piece of white mate, big old,
big old doe. You know, it's all juicy and bliss.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
The gristle, the gristle on that one. It's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
I was wearing my speeder to show them all my biz,
all my biz. Can you not call it that my biz? Yeah,
we'll do swamp watch when we come back to Gary
and Shannon.
