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 (00:10):
Well, that was a That was a weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
That was a weekend?
Speaker 4 (00:15):
God?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I saw Jim McDonnell up there behind the podium last
night with his press conferences following the coverage all weekend long,
and I just thought, Oh, what a mess for him,
for the department, for the LAPD, because this is something
that the LAPD has handled for a very long time.
It's kind of a specialty of the LAPD. Certainly in
(00:38):
the twenty years that I've been in Los Angeles, it
has been something when you go back to the May
Day protests of two thousand and six, what have you,
two thousand and seven. You know, this is something that
they are built for. That they have adjusted, they've pivoted,
they've tweaked all of it to make and constantly train constantly.
(00:59):
So this is this is what they do. They know
how to handle these things. So the fact that this
became a national political conversation, what a headache for the LAPD,
what a headache for the local CHP what have you?
And the fact that it's devolved into this pissing match
between Newsom and Holman and Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's so much that goes into this.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I saw the interview, the whole interview that Governor Newsom
did with I believe it was at least it was
aired on MSNBC. It was with an NBC reporter last night.
He was standing in the County Office of Emergency Services.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Is this the one where he says, come get me,
tough guy.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, listen, I know that they want to flex each
other's muscles and they want to rip their shirts off
and talk about who's the tough guy is more? Is
it more tough to be the most caring person in
the room, or is it more tough to be the
law enforcement officer in the room. This it's so tiresome,
it's so ridiculous. And if you've got law enforcement officers
(02:10):
who are at risk of being severely injured with these
fireworks that are being thrown at them or the concrete
blocks that are being thrown at them, they don't care.
They don't give two rats asses about you, and you're
flexing your muscles in some safe interview somewhere with somebody.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There was a lot of what does this mean for me?
How can I use this crisis for me?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
When it comes to both Trump and Holman and Newsom
across the lines there, across all political lines. It was
how can I use this to my advantage? And make
no mistake about it. There was a conversation of can
we make this bigger to prove whatever point further, whatever
point we want to make to self serve.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
There's a potential, an ugly potential for it to benefit
both sides by making this a bigger de ill. Yes,
and that's so it all goes back to Friday. On Friday,
there were immigration enforcement actions. You know, there's a lot
that falls creates a big umbrella and a lot of
(03:15):
things fall under that umbrella. But immigration enforcement actions that
were taking place in the fashion district in Los Angeles
on Saturday. Everybody was saying that they were running raids
through a parking lot at a home depot, which is
not true.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That's not what happened on Saturday, but.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
It did get out of control because the lack of
truth is what can spur these things out of control.
There were events that took place on Friday night that
prompted President Trump to say he was going to call
in the National Guard and then prematurely credited the National
Guard with putting things down, even though National Guard soldiers
were not technically on the street until early yesterday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
To me, that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Was a juvenile, semantic situation. When Gavin reposted Trump's thank
you to the National Guard troops who had not descended
yet on Los Angeles, but Knewsome pointing out that they
weren't here yet, I don't know, it was kind of juvenile.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
In my opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
A classier way to handle that was they hadn't gotten
here yet. They're doing a great job, but our local
law enforcement had things under control, something to that nature.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Which would then, at least in that instance, give Gavin
Newsom the ability to say, I'm respecting our local law
enforcement by not making it about me or making it
about some little, oh I beat.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You on Twitter thing.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's the our men and women are doing just They're
doing great with what they've been handled or what they've
been given. Mayor Bass has already done interviews this morning.
She has already gone and made the instant made the
insistence that the LAPD is not overwhelmed, despite the word
that Chief McDonald used last night in a news conference,
(04:58):
there's a bunch of sound that goes into this.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Bill A.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Saley, the new US attorney for the Central District, was
on with Conan Nolan over the weekend and explained specifically
what the ice agents were doing, what was what went
into the activities on Saturday, specifically in the city of Paramount,
and it's it's ah, it's a frustrating, it's a it's
(05:22):
a frustrating story to even talk about because so many
people are so heated on both sides that nobody everybody's
going to stick their fingers in their ears and walk
around going blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I know what I saw, I know what I heard.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
There were a couple of ridiculous reports last night, but
I don't want to spend too much time on it
because I say ridiculous things all the time. When you're
in a live situation talking about unfolding, breaking news, sometimes
you say stupid s. But there was one that I
just can't stop thinking about, just to add a little
bit of levity. And I don't know what station it was,
(05:57):
and I don't know what anchor it was or reporter,
but I did hear it this morning and passing, and
it was something to the effect of that protester has
what appears to be a cheesecake. There was a local
cheesecake factory in the area that was looted. We don't
know how he got that cheesecakes A sound bites Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, because I was just like I said in passing,
I heard it, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Was like, gold, gold, that is gold. Like, wrap it
up and give that to me every day. And the
fact that it's old is exactly why it was replayed
years ago. God, I had never heard that before. Why
have we not made use of that? Like you said, God,
it was gold.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
People trying to fill time with words can often God,
it was good.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Get into the world.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh, I loved it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We do it every day.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's what I said. That's how I went into that
whole thing. I was like, I do it all the time.
But I will say this, there is a protest plan
for noon today and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We'll stay on top of this.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There are make no doubt about it, protesters being flown in.
And when I say protesters, maybe not the people with
the intent of the protesters that were first out there
on Friday and Saturday, the thousands of people that were
peaceful before the agitator stepped in. So we'll talk about
that and what it could look like today because it
has the potential for a lot more unrest this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
More importantly, Yes, there is an eagle that has flown
the nest.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yes, Gussy left the nest on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, Sorryja, is there a nickname? Now you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
We had a break. We're going to come back and
unpack that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
We are standing by. Apparently LAPD is expected to have
a news conference sometime this morning, before we know. Another
protest is planned at about noon today. Also mentioned that
Karen Bass did give at least one interview already this morning.
Be playing parts of that for you as well as
(08:03):
we get through whatever was going on over the course
of this last few days, we'll see it looks like
it could continue for the next few days. But, like
you said, the coverage that made its way around the
world over the course of the last seventy two hours,
For example, in Australia.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We begin with developing news out of Los Angeles, where
tensions have reached boiling point, tear gas and and rubber
bullets fired as protesters clashed with police.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Are the immigration ride striper?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
She goes on and talks to it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
But there will be people who come here specifically for
this weird cosplay LARPing of what they think is standing
up to the man or something.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Whatever they do.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Trump overstepping and throwing in the National Guard when everybody
had things handled, and there will be people like, well
it wasn't handled.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There were cars burning.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Okay, well we have handled cars burning when the Lakers
have won the national championship in Los Angeles without the
National Guard. But I will say this, giving Trump the
benefit of the doubt, this is quite possibly the first
time Trump has paid attention to any sort of unrest
in Los Angeles. He has been in New York, He's
(09:20):
been in the business world. He does not remember the
May Day rallies that I remember covering here in Los
Angeles in the past twenty years. He's been busy with
his life and other things. So he sees Los Angeles
having immigration protests and it's like, I got to send
in the National Guard. There is a world in which
that is true that he was not playing politics. That
this is the first time Al was like, Oh, these
(09:40):
are immigration protests, this is my immigration policy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I need to respond by sending in the National Guard.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That can be true. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I think one of the things that he campaigned on
this second time around also was he's not going to
let it happen again. It being a as an example,
a summer of protests that completely gutted the city of
Portland or the occupied territory or whatever BS line it
(10:10):
was that happened in the city of Seattle. He said
repeatedly he would not allow that to happen, matter what
the issue.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Was.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And this is right now the largest, most specific example
of that where he's been able to do that and
exercise that that campaign promise.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's not even a large when it comes to protests
over immigration in Los Angeles, which is.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Which is also interesting.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Mayor Bass talked about this this morning on CNN. She
referred to this as just kind of a Hey, just
so everybody realizes, and you and I know this because
we've been where these protests have taken place.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's not a large area.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It's not we're not even talking about the I don't
know tens of thousands of people that have taken part
in other May Day.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Protests, hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, this is an isolated kind of event.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
This is isolated to a few streets. This is not
citywide civil unrest taking place in Los Angeles. In the
streets downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It looks horrible.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
People committed crimes. It is absolutely unacceptable, and those people
that set cars on fire or did other forms of
vandalism will be sought to be arrested and prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
She did a good job of keeping a cool head,
and I know that she has to for a variety
of reasons, but it's exactly right. Sometimes when they and
the same thing happened with the fires's per perspective, When
Los Angeles hits international news and they say Los Angeles
is burning or Los Angeles is mired in protests, nobody
(11:52):
has any sort of idea of what that means.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, everybody thinks Disneyland is about to burn.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That the whole city is on fire. And this was
just outside of city Hall. To give a little perspective
the May Day protest I'm referencing from two thousand and six, more.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Than a million people were protesting.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, that was a send in the National Guard situation,
and you saw it in other cities too, Chicago, you know,
but you know this is a Tuesday. I'm not watering
down the reason they're protesting, or the fact that they're
burning cars, and that is not the way you protest
in this country.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
It is not legal.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm not I'm not making excuses for anybody, and I'm
not watering down the argument. I'm just saying, let's just
objectively look at this and realize that we've got this
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
There is a frustrating I think the most frustrating aspect
of this from somebody who's not involved in those protests
is the three different groups of people that you've got.
You have people who are legitimately concerned about what they
see as federal overreach when it comes to immigration enforcement.
You want to have that argument, that's fine, and they
want to protest peacefully. They want to carry the signs,
(13:04):
they want to be out there. They want to even
even this, which I completely think is degrading and awful
way to treat humanity. They want to get up in
the face of an officer and yell at them. They
have the right to do that in this country. That's
one group of people. You have another group of people
who are simply there to stoke the fires literally in
some cases, to call those Waymo taxis along the street
(13:29):
there and then torch them, to try to burn those
CHP cruisers that were on the one to one freeway
down below with whateverat you know, burning traffic cones. That's
the second group of people. They're the ones who want
to stoke this thing till it gets violent. And then
you've got this other third group of people that are involved,
(13:49):
and they're the looky loose. They're the people who are
walking around with their phones out like it like they're
at the grove. I mean, they're just doing this as
sort of a I want to be involved in this,
but not so much that I want to possibly get
hit with rubber bullets or tear gas or something. But
I'm gonna still be there. I'm gonna go down and
(14:10):
I'm just gonna look at everything.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
There is a whole community of people on social media
that are citizen reporters.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Whether it's TikTok, could you hear me roll my eyes
harder than.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That, it is what it is, and sometimes it's very helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Sometimes we look at all of those accounts when we're
covering breaking news to see people that are at whatever event.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We'll look at that footage.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
You call it me.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I will say that this Kilmar Abrigo Garcia hill is
not one to die on.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
This is another one of those things where again the
description of what actually happened, for example, on Saturday, is
so much less than everybody expected. It would be Bill
a Sale, the new US Attorney for the Central District
District of California, described what exactly was going on and
who started what on Saturday. Well, we'll play some of that.
(15:04):
We'll talk about this Kilmar Abrego Garcia guy as well.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
In San Diego yesterday playing carrying six people crash in
the Pacific right there. Coastguards still investigating that one happened
yesterday midday.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I did see the coast Guard believes they did find
a debris field, but they have not confirmed that in fact,
it was the crashed.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Plane that was responsible for.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
In I'm not even quite sure if there was a question,
but Alberto Cavallo, the superintendent of La Unified has the
answer to a question that may not have actually been asked,
and he's just he's holding a news conference right now.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, it's always a question about what they're going to
do with the kids in the schools, because the kids
in the schools always end up joining these protests. So
LA Unified is always a question of what are they
going to do, how are they going to handle this?
Our class is canceled, all of that.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Well, that he's talking specifically about fortressing buttressing. Yeah, LA
Unified school campuses against immigration raids, right, which again I
don't the.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Old trope right of their going into the schools. They're
going into the churches. That's what we heard, but with
no real evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You want to listen to it for sure.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Alberto Cavallo again, LA Unified School District Superta and let's.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Bring that arm down and extinguish that flame, for we're
no longer the light for the world.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I am proud someone's running for office.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Sounds like I am proud to call this city my city.
I am proud of the fact that this board stands
united and unified alongside community partners and elected officials in saying.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Not on our watch Not on our watch.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Shall people trample over children's rights?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Not on our watch. Shall people be intimidated? Not on
our watch.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Shall we succumb to unreasonable pressures first to do that
which is not human.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Or humane or humanitarian. I'm one who.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Believes that as an educator of many decades, we know
and understand that public education democracy are two sides of
the same American coin. Undermine one, the other will suffer.
That is what's at stake. We will not waiver from
our responsibility of protecting kids. Let me take a quick
(17:49):
break to let you know who's with us today.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, so we'll stay on top of that. We have
seen that in the past. This protest is supposed to
get underway at noon. We have seen and I would
put money on it that we'll see it again today.
Exodus of kids walking out of classes prior to noon
or what have you. It just it always works its
way into the schools. Maybe I'm wrong, No, I.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Think you're right. I mean I'm curious to see what,
like you said, which office Carvallo is interested in attaining next?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
But yeah, what is the launch pad superintendent to what?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Is he an attorney ag that might not be a
bad Let's let's find out about his background.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
One of the things that is going on today is
Governor Newsom has said that the state will be suing
President Trump, saying that the President illegally acted in order
to federalize National Guard during these protests. At this point,
we don't know if the lawsuit had been filed. All
he said last night at an interview was that the
lawyers are working on the briefs. Of course, the a
(18:57):
c LU we keep referring to this rally that's scheduled
for noon today. The ACO you called for a peaceful
rally at noon today in a downtown park to demand
the release of a union leader who was arrested Friday
during a protest at a federal detention center. David Guerta
is the president of Service Employees International Union California. He
(19:19):
is scheduled to make a court appearance today. They say
that rallies are also going to take place in more
than a dozen cities throughout the country, Atlanta, New York, Pittsburgh,
San Francisco, Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
According to SCIU.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
We were not the only ones in Los Angeles that
had protests of some amount yesterday. In San Francisco police
up there arrested about sixty people, including juveniles, in a
protest in the Financial District in San Francisco. Two officers
were injured, and they said that there was a very
significant property damage throughout the Financial District.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
All right, again, we will stay on top of this
all of the news coming out of any of the
protests and as they developed this after noon. But Amy
King's Gizzy. Is that a nickname for the eagle that
flew the nest along with her sister Sonny this weekend?
Is that a name you came up with, or is
that the entire community that is named Gizmo Gizzy.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I've heard Gizzy, and I guess I'm saying because I've
just never been crazy about Gizmo.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I still like Rocky. Yeah, but yeah, So it's Gizmo.
It's Gizmo.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
She flew for the first time on Saturday, so she
was in the nest. Sonny of course left a few
days earlier and then has come back and left a
couple of times. And Gizmo was practicing. So she did
that thing where she flaps her wings real hard and
kind of hovers for a little bit and then kind
of runs and hops across the nest and stuff, and
(20:46):
it looks like she was in the process of doing
that and kind of missed the edge of the nest
and out she went. But the good thing was she
flew like a champ over to a tree next door
and had an expert landing and hung out there for
a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Next That is excellent news.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm glad all is going well and the milestones are
being met out of the nest in Big Bear. The
President is taking questions as he returns to the White House.
We will bring you that. It's happening right now as
we speak. We're rolling on it and we'll play it
for you when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
A lot going on throughout the city of Los Angeles.
A few days worth of protests that had turned violent
in some instances. A lot of damage, a lot of
damage in and around the downtown core area around City Hall,
including those five Waymo taxis that were all burned to
just a ashy hulk.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And those are electric vehicles, are they not?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I say, they just continue to burn and burn. If
I was going to say something on fire. That would
be the first thing I said on fire, just as.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You know, to show my distribution maximum.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well, well, I mean they're stupid. I don't like driverless cars.
It takes away jobs and I think they're stupid, and
I would set that on fire.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well, they're stupid enough to have been called into the
middle of the heat and you know, not realize that
they were in danger.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Maybe that's good. Maybe we don't want those cars thinking
for themselves.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
We do not.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's why I want to set them on fire as well.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
We are waiting to hear from LAPD. We expect that
the chief will be holding a news conference. He did
last night. He actually used the word overwhelmed, which I
don't Nobody really pressed him on the word that he
was referring to LAPD being overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
At certain points, that is not a word that goes
over well with any law enforcement agency.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And there's a reason why you're basically.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Saying if you're saying an agency is overwhelmed. And I
have firsthand knowledge of this when I was a reporter
and I was covering the worst shooting in Orange County
history at Salon Maritage and Seal Beach and I went
on the air with John and Ken and I said
that the Seal Beach Police.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Department seemed overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And I had a very stern conversation with one of
the leaders of the Seal Beach Department who said to me,
you don't say that, and here's why. And the reason was,
I wasn't saying that the department, and we had a
good conversation about it, that the department was overwhelmed. That's
so what I meant. I meant that Seal Beach Police
(23:34):
is so intertwentwined in the community that it would be
impossible to work that scene. There's no way it is
impersonal to any of those officers. There's no way you
can separate what you do from your life in that
kind of a situation.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And that's what I meant.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I wass saying that they were overwhelmed in a duty sense,
because that is a very big slight to use, a
gross underestimation of what that is when you say that
to a department, that's not what that is.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
The LAPD was not overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
They've dealt, as we pointed out this hour, they've dealt
with much bigger problems than what they faced over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
One of the things that's sort of adding fuel to
this fire from both sides is the President's insistence that
the National Guard be activated without going through the governor's office.
That happened on Saturday, and a few hundred National Guards
troops are.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
On the ground here in La. Now.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
The option is to go for as much as I
think it's six hundred is the number now, but that
they could call in two thousand, and that they could
be asked to stay on duty basically for sixty days.
I don't think it's going to happen. That would be
the maximum, but I don't think that's going to happen now.
This prompted Governor Newsom to be upset, and he says
(25:03):
he's going to file suit against the federal government and
Donald Trump specifically for doing that. Tom Holman, the White
House advisor that's in charge of enforcement for ICE, had
said that if Gavin Newsom and or LA Mayor Karen
baskets in the way, that they could be arrested.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So today, President Trump.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
On his way back into the White House, was just
on the lawn of the White House and was shouted
questions at by the reporters that had gathered can't hear
the very first part of it. One reporter refers to
Tom Holman suggesting that he would arrest Gavin Newsom if
he did something to interfere with the federal agents.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Should he do so?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
And the President said I would if I were him.
Gets a little bit easier to listen to, or a
little bit easier to hear when he says that Gavin
Newsom is a good guy, when it says, oh, let
me push that button, not button.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Because I like the avenues and he's a nice guy.
But he's grossly incoonfidence. Everybody knows. All you have to
do is look at the little railroad he's building. It's
about a hundred times over budget. We're putting a flag
fall over there under budget. I always do under budget.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Here, what if you're intel?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Tell you about the people causing all the problem?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
You know, they are the people I just trying to deport.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Are they professional adjucate.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
People that are causing the problem?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Are professional agitators, They're insurrectionists.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They're bad people.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
They should be in jail.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
And then he goes on it's important to point out
he used the term insurrectionists if he calls the military,
specifically the Marines that are supposedly staging and standing by
down at Camp Pendleton. The only way he can do
that legally, or one of the slivers of ways that
he could do that legally, is if he invokes the
(26:56):
Insurrection Act and if he refers to them as insurrectionists. Yes,
that is a step closer to doing that. I don't
think we'll ever see marines on the streets of LA
in a law enforcement capacity like that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That brings.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
That brings a whole new level of hell to the
legal fight and to what it means for this country.
So I don't think the Marines are coming. I do
think it is a saber rattling move on the part
of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Thank you're right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Michael Monks was out there all weekend, all day yesterday,
and we'll join us about what he saw first Ham
when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, that was a That was a weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
That was a weekend?
Speaker 4 (00:15):
God?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I saw Jim McDonnell up there behind the podium last
night with his press conferences following the coverage all weekend long,
and I just thought, Oh, what a mess for him,
for the department, for the LAPD, because this is something
that the LAPD has handled for a very long time.
It's kind of a specialty of the LAPD. Certainly in
(00:38):
the twenty years that I've been in Los Angeles, it
has been something when you go back to the May
Day protests of two thousand and six, what have you,
two thousand and seven. You know, this is something that
they are built for. That they have adjusted, they've pivoted,
they've tweaked all of it to make and constantly train constantly.
(00:59):
So this is this is what they do. They know
how to handle these things. So the fact that this
became a national political conversation, what a headache for the LAPD,
what a headache for the local CHP what have you?
And the fact that it's devolved into this pissing match
between Newsom and Holman and Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's so much that goes into this.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I saw the interview, the whole interview that Governor Newsom
did with I believe it was at least it was
aired on MSNBC. It was with an NBC reporter last night.
He was standing in the County Office of Emergency Services.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Is this the one where he says, come get me,
tough guy.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, listen, I know that they want to flex each
other's muscles and they want to rip their shirts off
and talk about who's the tough guy is more? Is
it more tough to be the most caring person in
the room, or is it more tough to be the
law enforcement officer in the room. This it's so tiresome,
it's so ridiculous. And if you've got law enforcement officers
(02:10):
who are at risk of being severely injured with these
fireworks that are being thrown at them or the concrete
blocks that are being thrown at them, they don't care.
They don't give two rats asses about you, and you're
flexing your muscles in some safe interview somewhere with somebody.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
There was a lot of what does this mean for me?
How can I use this crisis for me?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
When it comes to both Trump and Holman and Newsom
across the lines there, across all political lines. It was
how can I use this to my advantage? And make
no mistake about it. There was a conversation of can
we make this bigger to prove whatever point further, whatever
point we want to make to self serve.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
There's a potential, an ugly potential for it to benefit
both sides by making this a bigger de ill. Yes,
and that's so it all goes back to Friday. On Friday,
there were immigration enforcement actions. You know, there's a lot
that falls creates a big umbrella and a lot of
(03:15):
things fall under that umbrella. But immigration enforcement actions that
were taking place in the fashion district in Los Angeles
on Saturday. Everybody was saying that they were running raids
through a parking lot at a home depot, which is
not true.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That's not what happened on Saturday, but.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
It did get out of control because the lack of
truth is what can spur these things out of control.
There were events that took place on Friday night that
prompted President Trump to say he was going to call
in the National Guard and then prematurely credited the National
Guard with putting things down, even though National Guard soldiers
were not technically on the street until early yesterday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
To me, that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Was a juvenile, semantic situation. When Gavin reposted Trump's thank
you to the National Guard troops who had not descended
yet on Los Angeles, but Knewsome pointing out that they
weren't here yet, I don't know, it was kind of juvenile.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
In my opinion.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
A classier way to handle that was they hadn't gotten
here yet. They're doing a great job, but our local
law enforcement had things under control, something to that nature.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Which would then, at least in that instance, give Gavin
Newsom the ability to say, I'm respecting our local law
enforcement by not making it about me or making it
about some little, oh I beat.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You on Twitter thing.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
It's the our men and women are doing just They're
doing great with what they've been handled or what they've
been given. Mayor Bass has already done interviews this morning.
She has already gone and made the instant made the
insistence that the LAPD is not overwhelmed, despite the word
that Chief McDonald used last night in a news conference,
(04:58):
there's a bunch of sound that goes into this.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Bill A.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Saley, the new US attorney for the Central District, was
on with Conan Nolan over the weekend and explained specifically
what the ice agents were doing, what was what went
into the activities on Saturday, specifically in the city of Paramount,
and it's it's ah, it's a frustrating, it's a it's
(05:22):
a frustrating story to even talk about because so many
people are so heated on both sides that nobody everybody's
going to stick their fingers in their ears and walk
around going blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I know what I saw, I know what I heard.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
There were a couple of ridiculous reports last night, but
I don't want to spend too much time on it
because I say ridiculous things all the time. When you're
in a live situation talking about unfolding, breaking news, sometimes
you say stupid s. But there was one that I
just can't stop thinking about, just to add a little
bit of levity. And I don't know what station it was,
(05:57):
and I don't know what anchor it was or reporter,
but I did hear it this morning and passing, and
it was something to the effect of that protester has
what appears to be a cheesecake. There was a local
cheesecake factory in the area that was looted. We don't
know how he got that cheesecakes A sound bites Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, because I was just like I said in passing,
I heard it, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Was like, gold, gold, that is gold. Like, wrap it
up and give that to me every day. And the
fact that it's old is exactly why it was replayed
years ago. God, I had never heard that before. Why
have we not made use of that? Like you said, God,
it was gold.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
People trying to fill time with words can often God,
it was good.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Get into the world.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh, I loved it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
We do it every day.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That's what I said. That's how I went into that
whole thing. I was like, I do it all the time.
But I will say this, there is a protest plan
for noon today and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We'll stay on top of this.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There are make no doubt about it, protesters being flown in.
And when I say protesters, maybe not the people with
the intent of the protesters that were first out there
on Friday and Saturday, the thousands of people that were
peaceful before the agitator stepped in. So we'll talk about
that and what it could look like today because it
has the potential for a lot more unrest this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
More importantly, Yes, there is an eagle that has flown
the nest.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yes, Gussy left the nest on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, Sorryja, is there a nickname? Now you know what.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
We had a break. We're going to come back and
unpack that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
We are standing by. Apparently LAPD is expected to have
a news conference sometime this morning, before we know. Another
protest is planned at about noon today. Also mentioned that
Karen Bass did give at least one interview already this morning.
Be playing parts of that for you as well as
(08:03):
we get through whatever was going on over the course
of this last few days, we'll see it looks like
it could continue for the next few days. But, like
you said, the coverage that made its way around the
world over the course of the last seventy two hours,
For example, in Australia.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We begin with developing news out of Los Angeles, where
tensions have reached boiling point, tear gas and and rubber
bullets fired as protesters clashed with police.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Are the immigration ride striper?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
She goes on and talks to it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
But there will be people who come here specifically for
this weird cosplay LARPing of what they think is standing
up to the man or something.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Whatever they do.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Trump overstepping and throwing in the National Guard when everybody
had things handled, and there will be people like, well
it wasn't handled.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
There were cars burning.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Okay, well we have handled cars burning when the Lakers
have won the national championship in Los Angeles without the
National Guard. But I will say this, giving Trump the
benefit of the doubt, this is quite possibly the first
time Trump has paid attention to any sort of unrest
in Los Angeles. He has been in New York, He's
(09:20):
been in the business world. He does not remember the
May Day rallies that I remember covering here in Los
Angeles in the past twenty years. He's been busy with
his life and other things. So he sees Los Angeles
having immigration protests and it's like, I got to send
in the National Guard. There is a world in which
that is true that he was not playing politics. That
this is the first time Al was like, Oh, these
(09:40):
are immigration protests, this is my immigration policy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I need to respond by sending in the National Guard.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That can be true. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I think one of the things that he campaigned on
this second time around also was he's not going to
let it happen again. It being a as an example,
a summer of protests that completely gutted the city of
Portland or the occupied territory or whatever BS line it
(10:10):
was that happened in the city of Seattle. He said
repeatedly he would not allow that to happen, matter what
the issue.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Was.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
And this is right now the largest, most specific example
of that where he's been able to do that and
exercise that that campaign promise.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's not even a large when it comes to protests
over immigration in Los Angeles, which is.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Which is also interesting.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Mayor Bass talked about this this morning on CNN. She
referred to this as just kind of a Hey, just
so everybody realizes, and you and I know this because
we've been where these protests have taken place.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's not a large area.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
It's not we're not even talking about the I don't
know tens of thousands of people that have taken part
in other May Day.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Protests, hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, this is an isolated kind of event.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
This is isolated to a few streets. This is not
citywide civil unrest taking place in Los Angeles. In the
streets downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It looks horrible.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
People committed crimes. It is absolutely unacceptable, and those people
that set cars on fire or did other forms of
vandalism will be sought to be arrested and prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
She did a good job of keeping a cool head,
and I know that she has to for a variety
of reasons, but it's exactly right. Sometimes when they and
the same thing happened with the fires's per perspective, When
Los Angeles hits international news and they say Los Angeles
is burning or Los Angeles is mired in protests, nobody
(11:52):
has any sort of idea of what that means.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, everybody thinks Disneyland is about to burn.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That the whole city is on fire. And this was
just outside of city Hall. To give a little perspective
the May Day protest I'm referencing from two thousand and six, more.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Than a million people were protesting.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, that was a send in the National Guard situation,
and you saw it in other cities too, Chicago, you know,
but you know this is a Tuesday. I'm not watering
down the reason they're protesting, or the fact that they're
burning cars, and that is not the way you protest
in this country.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
It is not legal.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm not I'm not making excuses for anybody, and I'm
not watering down the argument. I'm just saying, let's just
objectively look at this and realize that we've got this
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
There is a frustrating I think the most frustrating aspect
of this from somebody who's not involved in those protests
is the three different groups of people that you've got.
You have people who are legitimately concerned about what they
see as federal overreach when it comes to immigration enforcement.
You want to have that argument, that's fine, and they
want to protest peacefully. They want to carry the signs,
(13:04):
they want to be out there. They want to even
even this, which I completely think is degrading and awful
way to treat humanity. They want to get up in
the face of an officer and yell at them. They
have the right to do that in this country. That's
one group of people. You have another group of people
who are simply there to stoke the fires literally in
some cases, to call those Waymo taxis along the street
(13:29):
there and then torch them, to try to burn those
CHP cruisers that were on the one to one freeway
down below with whateverat you know, burning traffic cones. That's
the second group of people. They're the ones who want
to stoke this thing till it gets violent. And then
you've got this other third group of people that are involved,
(13:49):
and they're the looky loose. They're the people who are
walking around with their phones out like it like they're
at the grove. I mean, they're just doing this as
sort of a I want to be involved in this,
but not so much that I want to possibly get
hit with rubber bullets or tear gas or something. But
I'm gonna still be there. I'm gonna go down and
(14:10):
I'm just gonna look at everything.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
There is a whole community of people on social media
that are citizen reporters.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Whether it's TikTok, could you hear me roll my eyes
harder than.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That, it is what it is, and sometimes it's very helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Sometimes we look at all of those accounts when we're
covering breaking news to see people that are at whatever event.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We'll look at that footage.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
You call it me.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I will say that this Kilmar Abrigo Garcia hill is
not one to die on.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
This is another one of those things where again the
description of what actually happened, for example, on Saturday, is
so much less than everybody expected. It would be Bill
a Sale, the new US Attorney for the Central District
District of California, described what exactly was going on and
who started what on Saturday. Well, we'll play some of that.
(15:04):
We'll talk about this Kilmar Abrego Garcia guy as well.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
In San Diego yesterday playing carrying six people crash in
the Pacific right there. Coastguards still investigating that one happened
yesterday midday.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I did see the coast Guard believes they did find
a debris field, but they have not confirmed that in fact,
it was the crashed.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Plane that was responsible for.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
In I'm not even quite sure if there was a question,
but Alberto Cavallo, the superintendent of La Unified has the
answer to a question that may not have actually been asked,
and he's just he's holding a news conference right now.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, it's always a question about what they're going to
do with the kids in the schools, because the kids
in the schools always end up joining these protests. So
LA Unified is always a question of what are they
going to do, how are they going to handle this?
Our class is canceled, all of that.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Well, that he's talking specifically about fortressing buttressing. Yeah, LA
Unified school campuses against immigration raids, right, which again I
don't the.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Old trope right of their going into the schools. They're
going into the churches. That's what we heard, but with
no real evidence of that.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
You want to listen to it for sure.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Alberto Cavallo again, LA Unified School District Superta and let's.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Bring that arm down and extinguish that flame, for we're
no longer the light for the world.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
I am proud someone's running for office.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Sounds like I am proud to call this city my city.
I am proud of the fact that this board stands
united and unified alongside community partners and elected officials in saying.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Not on our watch Not on our watch.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Shall people trample over children's rights?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Not on our watch. Shall people be intimidated? Not on
our watch.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Shall we succumb to unreasonable pressures first to do that
which is not human.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Or humane or humanitarian. I'm one who.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Believes that as an educator of many decades, we know
and understand that public education democracy are two sides of
the same American coin. Undermine one, the other will suffer.
That is what's at stake. We will not waiver from
our responsibility of protecting kids. Let me take a quick
(17:49):
break to let you know who's with us today.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, so we'll stay on top of that. We have
seen that in the past. This protest is supposed to
get underway at noon. We have seen and I would
put money on it that we'll see it again today.
Exodus of kids walking out of classes prior to noon
or what have you. It just it always works its
way into the schools. Maybe I'm wrong, No, I.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Think you're right. I mean I'm curious to see what,
like you said, which office Carvallo is interested in attaining next?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
But yeah, what is the launch pad superintendent to what?
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Is he an attorney ag that might not be a
bad Let's let's find out about his background.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
One of the things that is going on today is
Governor Newsom has said that the state will be suing
President Trump, saying that the President illegally acted in order
to federalize National Guard during these protests. At this point,
we don't know if the lawsuit had been filed. All
he said last night at an interview was that the
lawyers are working on the briefs. Of course, the a
(18:57):
c LU we keep referring to this rally that's scheduled
for noon today. The ACO you called for a peaceful
rally at noon today in a downtown park to demand
the release of a union leader who was arrested Friday
during a protest at a federal detention center. David Guerta
is the president of Service Employees International Union California. He
(19:19):
is scheduled to make a court appearance today. They say
that rallies are also going to take place in more
than a dozen cities throughout the country, Atlanta, New York, Pittsburgh,
San Francisco, Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
According to SCIU.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
We were not the only ones in Los Angeles that
had protests of some amount yesterday. In San Francisco police
up there arrested about sixty people, including juveniles, in a
protest in the Financial District in San Francisco. Two officers
were injured, and they said that there was a very
significant property damage throughout the Financial District.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
All right, again, we will stay on top of this
all of the news coming out of any of the
protests and as they developed this after noon. But Amy
King's Gizzy. Is that a nickname for the eagle that
flew the nest along with her sister Sonny this weekend?
Is that a name you came up with, or is
that the entire community that is named Gizmo Gizzy.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I've heard Gizzy, and I guess I'm saying because I've
just never been crazy about Gizmo.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I still like Rocky. Yeah, but yeah, So it's Gizmo.
It's Gizmo.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
She flew for the first time on Saturday, so she
was in the nest. Sonny of course left a few
days earlier and then has come back and left a
couple of times. And Gizmo was practicing. So she did
that thing where she flaps her wings real hard and
kind of hovers for a little bit and then kind
of runs and hops across the nest and stuff, and
(20:46):
it looks like she was in the process of doing
that and kind of missed the edge of the nest
and out she went. But the good thing was she
flew like a champ over to a tree next door
and had an expert landing and hung out there for
a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Next That is excellent news.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm glad all is going well and the milestones are
being met out of the nest in Big Bear. The
President is taking questions as he returns to the White House.
We will bring you that. It's happening right now as
we speak. We're rolling on it and we'll play it
for you when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
A lot going on throughout the city of Los Angeles.
A few days worth of protests that had turned violent
in some instances. A lot of damage, a lot of
damage in and around the downtown core area around City Hall,
including those five Waymo taxis that were all burned to
just a ashy hulk.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And those are electric vehicles, are they not?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I say, they just continue to burn and burn. If
I was going to say something on fire. That would
be the first thing I said on fire, just as.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You know, to show my distribution maximum.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well, well, I mean they're stupid. I don't like driverless cars.
It takes away jobs and I think they're stupid, and
I would set that on fire.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Well, they're stupid enough to have been called into the
middle of the heat and you know, not realize that
they were in danger.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Maybe that's good. Maybe we don't want those cars thinking
for themselves.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
We do not.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's why I want to set them on fire as well.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
We are waiting to hear from LAPD. We expect that
the chief will be holding a news conference. He did
last night. He actually used the word overwhelmed, which I
don't Nobody really pressed him on the word that he
was referring to LAPD being overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
At certain points, that is not a word that goes
over well with any law enforcement agency.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And there's a reason why you're basically.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Saying if you're saying an agency is overwhelmed. And I
have firsthand knowledge of this when I was a reporter
and I was covering the worst shooting in Orange County
history at Salon Maritage and Seal Beach and I went
on the air with John and Ken and I said
that the Seal Beach Police.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Department seemed overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And I had a very stern conversation with one of
the leaders of the Seal Beach Department who said to me,
you don't say that, and here's why. And the reason was,
I wasn't saying that the department, and we had a
good conversation about it, that the department was overwhelmed. That's
so what I meant. I meant that Seal Beach Police
(23:34):
is so intertwentwined in the community that it would be
impossible to work that scene. There's no way it is
impersonal to any of those officers. There's no way you
can separate what you do from your life in that
kind of a situation.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And that's what I meant.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I wass saying that they were overwhelmed in a duty sense,
because that is a very big slight to use, a
gross underestimation of what that is when you say that
to a department, that's not what that is.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
The LAPD was not overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
They've dealt, as we pointed out this hour, they've dealt
with much bigger problems than what they faced over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
One of the things that's sort of adding fuel to
this fire from both sides is the President's insistence that
the National Guard be activated without going through the governor's office.
That happened on Saturday, and a few hundred National Guards
troops are.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
On the ground here in La. Now.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
The option is to go for as much as I
think it's six hundred is the number now, but that
they could call in two thousand, and that they could
be asked to stay on duty basically for sixty days.
I don't think it's going to happen. That would be
the maximum, but I don't think that's going to happen now.
This prompted Governor Newsom to be upset, and he says
(25:03):
he's going to file suit against the federal government and
Donald Trump specifically for doing that. Tom Holman, the White
House advisor that's in charge of enforcement for ICE, had
said that if Gavin Newsom and or LA Mayor Karen
baskets in the way, that they could be arrested.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
So today, President Trump.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
On his way back into the White House, was just
on the lawn of the White House and was shouted
questions at by the reporters that had gathered can't hear
the very first part of it. One reporter refers to
Tom Holman suggesting that he would arrest Gavin Newsom if
he did something to interfere with the federal agents.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Should he do so?
Speaker 5 (25:46):
And the President said I would if I were him.
Gets a little bit easier to listen to, or a
little bit easier to hear when he says that Gavin
Newsom is a good guy, when it says, oh, let
me push that button, not button.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Because I like the avenues and he's a nice guy.
But he's grossly incoonfidence. Everybody knows. All you have to
do is look at the little railroad he's building. It's
about a hundred times over budget. We're putting a flag
fall over there under budget. I always do under budget.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Here, what if you're intel?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Tell you about the people causing all the problem?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
You know, they are the people I just trying to deport.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Are they professional adjucate.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
People that are causing the problem?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Are professional agitators, They're insurrectionists.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
They're bad people.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
They should be in jail.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
And then he goes on it's important to point out
he used the term insurrectionists if he calls the military,
specifically the Marines that are supposedly staging and standing by
down at Camp Pendleton. The only way he can do
that legally, or one of the slivers of ways that
he could do that legally, is if he invokes the
(26:56):
Insurrection Act and if he refers to them as insurrectionists. Yes,
that is a step closer to doing that. I don't
think we'll ever see marines on the streets of LA
in a law enforcement capacity like that.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
That brings.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
That brings a whole new level of hell to the
legal fight and to what it means for this country.
So I don't think the Marines are coming. I do
think it is a saber rattling move on the part
of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Thank you're right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):

and we'll join us about what he saw first Ham
