Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
On Wall Street.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I haven't said much about Wall Street in the last
couple of weeks, but the Dow is up about three
hundred points s and P five hundred and the Nasdaq
also followed suit just up maybe about a quarter to
a half of percent. For the most part, some of
it has to do with report on inflation suggests the
Fed Reserve may be able to continue cutting interest rates

(00:31):
as he's wanted. The President's tariffs on some pharmaceuticals and
other imports did create some ripples as opposed to waves.
Sports wise, Bryson de Shambo's first shot today at the
Ryder Cup was amazing. He absolutely crushed a ball off
the first tee that should be nowhere near the green,

(00:53):
but it rolled up right next to it. So Ryder
Cup is going on back in Farmingdale, Farmingdale, New York.
President's actually on his way to check out the Ryder Cup.
La Mayor Bass taken LA twenty eight on the road
this morning. She's in Oklahoma City talking about a couple
of Olympic events that are going to be not in
LA during the LA Olympics.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
They'll actually be in Oklahoma City.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Both the softball competition and the canoe slalom are happening
at the OKC Whitewater Center. So reminder, by the way,
Gas Fantasy four place coming up next hour. We'll talk
about the four games and pick the four games that
we will be choosing from this weekend. Also what you
learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Show and

(01:37):
the nine news nuggets you need to know.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But it's time to get into swamp Watch. I'm a politician,
which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when
I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, we got The real problem is that our leaders
are done.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
The other side never quits.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
So what.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm not going anywhere?

Speaker 4 (01:55):
So that now you train the.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Swat, I can imagine what can be and be on
bur by what has been? You know, Americans have always
been gone at present they're scupid.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Who haven't people voted for you?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
With na swamp watch, they're all countering, well, still rippling
around Washington, d C. By the way, Swamp Watch has
brought to you by our friends at the Good Feet Store.
If you have ankle pay, knee pain, foot pain of
any kind, check out the Good Feed Store. Still rippling
around Washington, d C. Is this indictment of former FBI

(02:29):
Director James Comy, indicted a few days after President Trump
said that Attorney General Pam Bondi should prosecute him in
two other political adversaries. It's important to know that the
charges actually come from testimony that he gave during a
Senate Judiciary committee hearing almost five years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's important.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
He's been charged with making a false statement and obstruction
of a congressional preceding. Comy, meanwhile, has denied any wrongdoing.
Just to bring you back up to date, call me. Then,
former FBI Director Comy was testifying before the Senate about
whether or not he authorized the leak of information regarding

(03:13):
the FBI's investigation into President Trump former Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, and all he said in the twenty twenty
testimony was I stand by my other testimony. This is
him being questioned by Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Mister McCabe, who works for you as publicly and repeatedly
stated that he leaked information to the Wall Street Journal
and that you were directly aware of it and that
you directly authorized it.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Now, what mister.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
McCabe is saying and what you testify to this committee
cannot both be true. One or the other is false.
Who's telling the truth? I can only speak to my testimony.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
I stand by what the testimony you summarized that I
gave in May of twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
All right, So what what happened? At least according to
what the best that we can piece together. Andrew McCabe
was a deputy at the time in the FBI under
James Comy, And what Andrew McCabe has testified to is
he did he McCabe did leak information to the Wall
Street Journal back in twenty sixteen. In October of twenty sixteen,

(04:21):
he admitted to it. And what he said was he
told James Comy about it while the while Comy was
still director of the FBI. Obviously, and McCabe says Comy
authorized him to leak information because he didn't stop it
from being published once he knew about it, that finger

(04:44):
Quote's authorization might not stick legally, and that's why this
might not actually end in James Comy getting any sort
of punishment if this thing goes to a federal trial.
That's pretty that's pretty shabby evidence as a matter of fact.
And the idea that you would charge a former director
of the FBI with something that is not absolutely rock

(05:09):
solid provable in court is kind of rough. Andy McCarthy
writes for The National Review. A former assistant US attorney,
he says he would be surprised if this isn't just
dismissed in a pretrial motion.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I love ted, but McCabe never said that Comy authorized it.
What McCabe said was that McCabe authorized it. This is
a leak to the Wall Street Journal, and then he
told Comy about it later. The only way that you
could convict Comy beyond a reasonable doubt is Komy would
have to truly believe that he personally had authorized the leak.

(05:46):
He would have to actually have authorized the leak, and
then he would have had to know that he was
lying when he denied it.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
To the Senate.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
They're not even going to be able to prove that
he authorized the leak, because by all accounts he didn't.
So I don't think the case even gets to trial.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now you can't if you don't like James Comy. This
is not about This is not the successful way to
go about putting him in jail or punishing from whatever
crime you think he committed, because the way it appears,
that's really not enough of a crime. James Comy did
take to Instagram, by the way, to fight back against
the indictment once it was announced yesterday.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
My family and I have known for years that there
are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we
couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. My heart is
broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great
confidence in the federal judicial system. I'm innocent, so let's
have a trial and keep the faith.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, he wants the trial because he seems pretty confident
that this isn't going to stick. Side note James Comy's
son in law resigned as a federal prosecutor yesterday, just
a few minutes after his father in law was indicted.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
His name is Troy Edwards Junior.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Quit his position as a scene your National Security Prosecutor
within the Eastern District of Virginia, which is the same
office that is now prosecuting Comy in a one sentence resignation.
Later a letter, he said he was leaving quote to
uphold my oath to the Constitution and to the country.
Quick Epstein note, by the way, the House Oversight Committee

(07:20):
says it is reviewing new materials that came in from
the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Comes in response to the
most recent letter from Congressional investigators requesting cash ledgers, message logs, calendars,
and flight logs that they might have in their possession.
So we'll see if any of that actually gets actually

(07:41):
gets released to the public. Up next, there is yet
another good news story about a school that has banned.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Phones.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
We'll talk about what the good news is after the
school in Kentucky decided to ban phones from campus.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I mentioned the Ryder Cup is going on. Other sports
that have been going on.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Seahawks beat the Cardinals last night Thursday Night Football twenty
three to twenty. The Chargers are going to be in
New York, New Jersey, whichever we want to call it
early Sunday to take on the Giants. Dodgers did clinch
the National League Yes West yesterday with an eight noth
and win against the Diamondbacks. Three more regular season games
against the Mariners. Of all teams that happen to lead

(08:30):
the American League West, so the playoffs. Baseball playoffs will
begin on Tuesday. The Dodgers will host three games. If
it were to end right now, they would be playing
the New York Mets, but the Diamondbacks aren't that far
behind in the wildcard. That is, the Reds are also
breathing down the Mets neck, so we still do not
know exactly who they are going to be playing. We

(08:52):
have talked many times. Both Shannon and I have advocated
many times for school schools, high schools especially to ban
cell phones period. In the state of Kentucky, they have
a requirement that phones are banned during instructional time. That's

(09:13):
the minimum ban in the state of Kentucky that phones
are banned during instructional time. But there is a high
school in Louisville called Ballard High School and they have
the bell to bell ban, which means the entire day
you're at school, you do not have a cell phone period.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't know if they take them. I don't know
how they store them.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I don't know if they just don't allow them to
be brought to school, however you do it, but they are.
Cell Phones are not allowed anywhere at Ballard High School,
from Bell to Bell.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
And this year.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
The library has noticed a sixty seven percent increase in
the number of books that have been checked out. It's
that simple, a sixty seven percent increase in the number
of books that are checked out. And the librarian, Stephanie Conrad,

(10:07):
said she was prepared for the uptick because she'd seen
this at other schools that instituted cell phone bands. But
she said, usually when there's a minute or two of downtime,
very small amount with kids, the first thing they do
is they pick pick up their phone and start scrolling
or playing a game or whatever it was. And she
said they were in this little cell phone cocoon, quiet,

(10:27):
not interacting. And she said, now it's wonderful they're not
isolated online. She's been the librarian for two decades and
said she used to take for granted that kids would
come in and talk to her about books or books.
They loved books, they were interested in reading. She said,
now she's having those conversations again. The things like my
favorite genre is this? My favorite author is this? She

(10:50):
said this year, students would come up to her and
say things like, I want a good fantasy style book
where the boy is the main character, and she said,
I mean, obviously he's a librarian's that's probably your world series,
that's your super Bowl, that's the utmost. When you can
talk to a kid who is interested in reading and
discovering new types of literature, that's what you're there for

(11:12):
as a librarian. It's funny to hear how the kids
take this, though. Washington Post talked with Callie Vickers. She's
a tenth grader, so she's fifteen, and she said that
she acknowledges she was one of those kids who fourth
or fifth grade when the pandemic starts, got really into

(11:34):
cell phones, got really into screen time, and she said,
we never really fully learned kids in that age group,
We never really fully learned how to emotionally regulate, and
that they rely on their phones as does she for
distraction and comfort during whatever downtime exists at school. And
she said, now since that distraction is missing, I feel

(11:57):
like a lot of that hyperactivity comes out during class,
which is a funny way to look at it that
kids are acting up in class because they don't have
the distraction that is a cell phone. There is a
professor of psychology at San Diego State, Gene Twinge, wrote
a book called Ten Rules for Raising Kids in a
High Tech World and I can't wait to get her

(12:18):
on the phone one of these days. She advocates for
those bell to bell cell phone bands. From the moment
you start school to the moment you end, you do
not have access to your phone. All of the reasons,
the academic reasons, the social reasons, the psychological reasons. She
points out that the trend of test scores going down
started before the pandemic. This is not a COVID thing.

(12:41):
It's a social media slash cell phone thing. That's what
has caused test scores to go down, probably among other things.
But and when you're a kid, when you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
and you're starting what is high school, that's where you're
really putting your social skills to the test. And if

(13:03):
you're not physically talking to other people and interacting with classmates,
whether you like them or not, you're not getting the
skills that you're gonna need for the rest of your life.
There's plenty of research on the health benefits of spending
less time on social media, and if all you can
do as a parent or a teacher or administrator is
cut out those six or seven hours in the middle

(13:25):
of the day when they're at school, that's a fifty
percent decrease in the amount of time that they're on
social media, hopefully, hopefully. Also, it's just a simple training exercise.
You're training teenagers to not have their phones with them
all the time and not rely on them so much.

(13:46):
There was another headline also about phones that I mean, obviously,
staring at your screen all day isn't healthy, but a
full digital detox where you just throw your phone into
a river somewhere is probably not realistic. So they said
that a couple of times a day or a week,
pick an hour or two or five where you don't

(14:08):
look at your phone, you put it somewhere and you
don't worry about it, and then every month, maybe you
take a full weekend or two and you just detox,
turn it off, turn it back on Monday morning kind
of thing. One of the ways that they say this
is developing a screen free wake up. Now, we're obviously

(14:31):
wired to run on autopilot. We rely on things like
alarm clocks, although we don't need it to be our phone.
Alarm clocks kind of went by the wayside once everybody
got an alarm clock in their phone. But doing something
else in the morning before you look at your phone
can be helpful. I am absolutely guilty of this because

(14:53):
my alarm is my phone, and when I turn off
my alarm to get up, I notice that there are messages,
or I notice I got alerts overnight or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
So there are different things.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
There's some irony about getting an app to block distracting
apps on your phone, but there's one called brick. There's
no one called unplug. Apps like Joemo, Jomo and Forrest
will encourage intentional phone usage, right, not just screwing around
on that thing, but using it only when it's necessary.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
And hey, if nothing else, put it in a box.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
You can get an actual lock box to put your
phone in so it's not constantly distracting you over and
over again. So maybe maybe try and not use your
phone as an alarm. Go back to the old school
wave that winding alarm clock with the two bells.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
On top of it.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
All right, all of our entertainment stuff. When we come back,
Heather Brooker is going to join us.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
We are going to talk about so entertainment stuff here.
Heather Brooker has joined us.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Hello, going to play the thing. She's got a thing, right,
I got a thing? Yeah? Is he ready?

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's all right, he's busy. All right, there it is.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
What is your damage, heatherby.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
This is entertained news.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
It Oh, I thought there was something else. I thought
that I didn't realize that was the end. We go, well, welcome,
there is some developing world the developing news in the
entertainment world. Yeah, that is that Sinclair, one of the
big syndicate owners of syndication owners of syndicated TV station owners,
thank you, is going to air Jimmy Kimmel's show again.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (16:53):
This just came out a few minutes ago. We're kind
of still learning more information about it. And here's what
they're saying. They're saying that they made this announcement that
they are going to start airing Kimmel again tonight, and
that they have done some thoughtful they got some thoughtful
feedback from their viewers and advertisers and community members and
have sort of done a reverse course here. They are

(17:15):
going to be or airing Kimmel starting tonight. They say
they want to ensure their programming remains accurate and engaging
for the widest possible audience.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
They also and one of the issues that had come
up in the last two weeks was what kind of
pressure was put on ABC or Next Star or Sinclair,
the two of the larger companies that own these different
stations around the country. What kind of government pressure was
put on them to put pressure on Kimmel et cetera,
et cetera.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
To remove it from the area.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Right, So, in the fourth or fifth paragraph in their
statement that came out today, they said, our decision to
pre mp this program was independent of any government interaction
or influence. Free speech provides broadcasters with the right exercise
judgment as to the content of their local stations. While
we understand not everyone will agree with our decision about programming,
it's simply inconsistent to champion free speech while demanding that

(18:08):
a broadcaster air specific content. And that it's an interesting
perspective only because I don't think a lot of people
talked about that side of it, everybody said, Jimmy's got
a right to say whatever he wants to, which he does.
He does, but he also is not free from the consequences.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now the flip side of that is they, as a
private company, have the ability to finger quotes censor his
speech if they don't like it or they think it's
not good for the company.

Speaker 8 (18:37):
Yeah, I think the issue if you're really splitting hairs
about it, Yes, he absolutely had, you know, the right
to say whatever he wanted to make the comments that
he made. Yes, there are going to be consequences from
his employer if he did that. But the question everybody
had was who was forcing the hand of the employer
and of these private companies to pressure him to stop

(18:59):
doing what he's done? Is nothing new. Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert,
all the late night guys and you know, cable and
streaming guys for that matter, have all made these types
of commentary for years, but they have been sort of
allowed to do it by their corporations, by their companies,
under the guise of free speech and comedy and parody,
you know all of that. But the question is who

(19:20):
was forcing the hand of these companies, Who was telling
these large corporations in these family owned businesses to ask
ABC to remove him from the air. That's where I
think the splitting hairs and the question comes.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
In, right, and if it was somebody in the C
suite office and ABC that earned Brendan Carr, the FCC chair,
say something along the line, so if we can do
this the easy way of the hard way?

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Was that enough for them to believe that it was
a threat that the government was going to come in
and shut them down.

Speaker 8 (19:48):
I mean, I would certainly feel threatened if if someone
from the government came to me and said we can
do this.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
The easy way or the hard way. Comic Con is
coming back to La.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Yes, So this is one of my family's favorite things
to do in LA. Every year they take over the
La Convention Center for everything sort of pop culture related
that you can imagine. You know, you've all seen the
pictures of people, dresses, Spider Man and Superman and Marvel
characters and all that stuff. But it's not just about
the big properties down there. It's about anime, video games.

(20:18):
There's gonna be a stan Lee hologram of course, you
guys know if you know stan leed like sort of
the Godfather or father if you will, of all the
marvel things that we love. There's gonna be six hundred
and fifty artists and comic book writers that are going
to be there. So if you really are into the
niche of comic books and the artistry behind it, you
could go meet some of your favorite artists. Of course, food, trucks, drinks.

(20:42):
It's a really good time in downtown LA and we
look forward.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
To it every year.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Are you gonna circle some problem areas on the convention
center that maybe the new billions of dollars.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Can go to the Yes?

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Maybe, you know.

Speaker 8 (20:54):
I talked to the CEO, Krista Mulin, who runs La
Comic Con. We talked about, you know, a lot of
the fun things coming this year, but also I had
to ask him, what do you guys think about these
two point six billion dollar renovation that's coming. And they
are in big favor of it. He says, they've been
to every meeting in support or whenever they're talking about it,
because after running the La Comicon there since twenty eleven,

(21:18):
he sees firsthand the problems that arise at the La
Convention Center. It's not logistically ideal when you're running a
large event. It's outdated.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
There's not a lot of ironic. Okay.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
If there's a problem with big events at the convention Center,
that's a number one problem.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
It really is.

Speaker 8 (21:35):
And he says that it's in desperate need of some renovation,
some upgrading in order to be competitive with other cities
of our size. The ELI Convention Center just isn't meeting
the needs for big events and to want to come
here and add money into downtown LA, you know, in
the economy down there.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
When we come back, a couple of movies they're coming up,
including this new Paul Thomas Anderson Leonardo DiCaprio movie that
looks great, amazing.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Heather Brooker has joined us to talk about some of
the stuff that's coming out entertainment wise, movie wise, and
the one that I think is getting probably a lot,
or I should say the most talk for a September
opening that I've seen in a long time is one
battle after another, the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Yeah, this is typically the time of year when studios
put out their horror movies or they put out the
movies they don't think we'll do as well. But this
one is a bit of a surprise and critics are
loving it. It has a ninety eight percent fresh on
Rotten Tomatoes. Do you ever listen or do you look
at Rotten Tomatoes and pick movies based on husband does
that too.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
I'll do it every once in a while.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
If we do the thing every once in a while,
like on a weekend, we'll go, hey, what do you
want to watch? And you don't want to go back
to the old series? You want to find a movie. Yeah,
I'll do that. I'll find on Rotten Tomatoes the highest
rated for Amazon or something like that, and then we'll
pick one of those.

Speaker 8 (23:02):
Okay, I enjoy that they do the Rotten Tomatoes, but
I'm like, I don't know. Sometimes they rate things as
a stinkers that I think are pretty good. So this one, though,
is definitely good. People are going to enjoy this. This
is Paul Thomas Paul Thomas Anderson's new film Thomas One
Battle after Another Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
It's projected to win the box office, so it is.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
It is a film about Leonardo DiCaprio plays a dad
who is essentially trying to get his daughter back, who
has been taken from him. And I don't want to
give too much away about the story itself, but it
is quirky, it is dramatic, It is an action movie,
and it is a lot of fun. It's sort of
that's being described as a socio political action movie.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
I'm always fascinated by current movie producers, directors, et cetera,
who use older technologies for specific visual purposes. Yes, this
is going to be filmed in VistaVision, Yes, which is
an older technology, was kind of the precursor to like
seventy millimeters Imax and something like that.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
But it has a distinct look to it.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
It does.

Speaker 8 (24:10):
It's almost like, I think, probably from the decade that it,
you know, was made popular. It's got that sort of hazy,
almost Cepia tone feel to it, and it feels very
much like a moment in time and it is beautiful
to look at. It's a fun story. Leonardo DiCaprio, I think,
is one of the best actors working right now. People

(24:33):
say what you want about his personal life and choices,
you know, of dating twenty five year olds or whatever.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
But five.

Speaker 8 (24:41):
Sorry that maybe the max But like he's a brilliant actor.
He's a brilliant actor and has been relatively unscathed with
drama over the years. And this movie. Benicio del Toro
is also in it. They are fantastic. It's a great movie.
It's it's definitely one to watch this weekend. Scarlett Johansson
is now behind the camera. Her directorial debut is a

(25:02):
movie called Eleanor the Great and it stars June squib
who is just the most adorable grandma, like, very comforting
character actress who has been acting for a very long
time and is finally now getting some recognition with some
bigger roles. And this is about a woman who has
lied about surviving the Holocaust and ends up getting some

(25:23):
notoriety and some attention because of it. And I think
because she's lonely, the attention is she welcomes the attention
and kind of can't find her way out of this lie.
So it's a sweet story. It's a dramedy and I
think Scarlet John Hanssen does a pretty good job with
it as director.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
As director, yeah, yeah, Then Jessica Chastain's movie has been
pushed back.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
Well.

Speaker 8 (25:48):
This is a limited series series. Yeah, limited series on
Apple TV. So what she it's about. It's this is
kind of a tough subject, but it's about of domestic terrorism.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Oh so, good timing.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Good timing, right, And so, because of what's happened recently
in the headlines, Apple TV has decided to pause the
release of The Savant, and she posted a very public
dissent or disagreement with that move on her social media,
saying we are not aligned. She thinks that it should
be released night right now, given the timing of everything

(26:25):
that is going on. But Apple TV says, no, we're
just putting it on a pause right now and they're
going to release the series at a future date.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Well, her argument is that it's not about the acts themselves,
it's about the people.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
The people and the story. Yeah, it's a crime drama based.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
