WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.960
This is Gary and Shannon and you're
listening to kf I AM six forty,

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.199
the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. He pulled the

3
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:12.439
crime measure. Yeah, well,
I think it was also the other you

4
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.039
know, one hundred Democrats in the
Capitol who were like, it's probably not

5
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.280
a great idea, it's right,
just look really stupid. It probably wasn't

6
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.600
us that he was listening to.
It probably wasn't us that Joe Biden was

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.960
listening to when we said you got
to get out now for anyone to get

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.199
any sort of momentum, Hey,
this is a very weird day. Do

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:36.560
you realize that? Because okay,
it's your birthday, so happy birthday,

10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:41.679
thank you. But what's weird is
I don't think we've ever worked on your

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.520
birthday. We have not because it's
so close to the fourth. We usually

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.479
take the fourth off. We do. There's always a couple of days it's

13
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.240
on something Like my mother said to
me, she goes, you never work

14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.399
on your birthday. I said,
you know, I've gotten to the age

15
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.399
where it's ridiculous to not work on
my birthday. Yeah, and also it's

16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.960
a Wednesday, which is yeah,
what do we do on a wedda.

17
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.000
I don't know. We're gonna have
lunch. Boss off the to buy lunch.

18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.280
Yes, And you first said no, I said, and everybody around

19
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.519
you is like, what are you
doing? Don't I know? And then

20
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.200
I looked at everybody I was like, no, absolutely, that sounds wonderful.

21
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.400
We're all sitting there with our empty
souper bowls. Please, so happy

22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.519
birthday. I put on Instagram the
Hapey birth DAP message so that people can

23
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.599
send you some birthday messages on very
social media. Very nice. Okay,

24
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.040
back to what you're saying. Yes. The New York Times a very short

25
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.000
time ago posted a story the White
House absolutely hates, and this is it.

26
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.239
It says that Joe Biden has told
an ally. We don't know who

27
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.519
it was because they have stayed anonymous. He has told an ally that he

28
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.599
is actually weighing whether to continue the
race. The New York Times and CNN

29
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.519
are both reporting this that he has
concerns he may not be able to convince

30
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.239
the public he's up for the job
after that debate debacle. Both reports say

31
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.240
he will weigh whether to end his
bid if public perception about his fitness for

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.840
office doesn't get any better. And
to that, I say, Democrats,

33
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.560
it's time to shut the f up. If you have any chance in November

34
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:23.080
moving forward and down the ballot,
you need to just let this thing play

35
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.960
out and not defend him and not
try to bury your head in the sand.

36
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.680
It's time to move on. The
White House says the Times report is

37
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.080
absolutely false, but has yet to
comment on the CNN report. Okay,

38
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.000
so there's a couple things that are
going on today, specifically about this issue,

39
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:45.520
that this report helps zero. This
report only piles on to a series

40
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.879
of events that we know that are
going on today that are bad for Joe

41
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.240
Biden's candidacy. Number one, Lloyd
Doggett. We mentioned that yesterday the first

42
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.639
sitting congressman to come out and suggest
that we need a new candidate at the

43
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.400
top of the ticket. That was
joined by Jared Golden out of Maine,

44
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.639
Marie Glusen Camp of Washington Glusen Camp
Perez of Washington State. And now the

45
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.719
Daily Mail suggests that there are twenty
five House members they call them the frontliners

46
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.439
because they're sort of moderates in swing
districts, that at least twenty five House

47
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.879
members will come out today, Tomorrow, Friday, and suggest together that Joe

48
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.800
Biden stepped down as the candidate.
That's one thing, and we're on the

49
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.560
not that it's a it's symbolic that
we are in the cusp of the fourth

50
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.120
of July. Yes, it's not. We are on everybody's mind. The

51
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.960
other thing that's going on. President
Biden's scheduled to meet with several Democratic governors

52
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.159
in a closed door meeting at the
White House today, including Gaviy Newsom.

53
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.000
Also, the campaign sent out an
all staff memo today that talks about their

54
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.800
internal polling because somewhere in the shadows
now again this report that he had told

55
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.599
an ally is in the New York
Times. The New York Times also has

56
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:11.520
a poll that they're expecting to send
out either I'm sorry, publish either today

57
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.199
or tomorrow or Friday that is going
to show a large swing in the race.

58
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.959
This is a post debate poll,
and the memo from the campaign says

59
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.600
we should keep in mind that just
last week the New York Times acknowledged that

60
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.560
they are often a polling outlier,
and they were talking about having an all

61
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.040
staff call not just for the campaign
but also for the White House, and

62
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.800
I don't know what they're I don't
know if they're going to say, we

63
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.319
have to batten down the hatches,
we can't let you know, we can't

64
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.920
let this talk continue, or this
is sort of the beginning of Okay,

65
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.319
what are we going to do next? I want to know if that New

66
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:53.199
York Times report where that came from? Who the ally is? Yes,

67
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.959
because everybody knows that Joe Biden is
not fit for office. Everybody knows that.

68
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.079
We all saw with our own eyes, and I think it got It

69
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.639
has to come from somebody. I
don't think Joe Biden said that, is

70
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.519
what I'm saying. I think that
story was planted. I think it's a

71
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.920
lie. I don't think Joe Biden
said that. I don't think he's in

72
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.959
the place to have the cognitive ability
to know that. He doesn't have the

73
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:20.360
cognitive ability, which is more dangerous, Which is more dangerous. But where

74
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.839
did that come from? This is
like a Korean drama where there's like a

75
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:30.800
coup to remove the head and who
is going to step up, Who's going

76
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.639
to be crowned the next the next
guy. So that's the other part about

77
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:43.319
this that is that adds to the
drama of it because because Kamala Harris gets

78
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.759
all his campaign cash, all the
money Joe Biden has raised to run for

79
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.800
president, she would be the one
in charge of that. That's what the

80
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:59.720
laws say and what what promises are
being made to her in order for her,

81
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.480
if she's not the nominee, to
then unleash the money and give it

82
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.800
to you. Yeah, the problem
is seen Ritchen Whitmer. Something great for

83
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:13.240
her to step aside and not be
the heir apparent and then to she's got

84
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.600
who who's kissing her ring right now
to try to get their hands in those

85
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.160
purse strings. It's it's just the
weirdest situation. Listen, it really is

86
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:27.079
always We've been saying this for twenty
years now. This is so weird it

87
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.959
can never I didn't think politics would
ever get like this. I had a

88
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.920
memory pop up from me and my
girlfriends from twenty sixteen. It was a

89
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.360
memory from yesterday, and I'm like, we look so much lighter. It

90
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.120
was before all the stuff started happening, Right, we just look like we

91
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.079
don't have a care in the world. Well, we'll talk more about this.

92
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.959
There are some other polls that have
come out that suggested that there is

93
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.639
one candidate there at least one common
name that has come out that would wipe

94
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.160
out Donald Trump in a national poll. And it is a well we had

95
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.399
a listener bring this up. Yeah, and it ain't Jamie Raskin. I'll

96
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.319
tell you Gary and Shannon will continue. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on

97
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:12.639
demand from KFI AM six forty Big
Gary Shannon. It's the corse I can

Forest. I just wanted to wish the

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:27.879
lovely Shannon Farren a big happy birthday. And you still look like you're twenty

Shon. Hope that you get everything
you want. You know, make sure

104
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.399
go off the rails. Do a
few hot ones. Hey, Shannon,

105
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.120
this is Tracy from Yakbaran. I
want to wish you a half happy birthday.

106
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.920
Yakama. I love it. And
yeah, we live in Yakima and

107
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.360
we listen to you guys. It's
the only guys we listened to because you're

108
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:15.240
the best and my husband is tired
of me yelling out Google, Go Go

109
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:22.879
goog So there's that. That's very
nice. Jamaica is bracing for Hurricane Beryl.

110
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:30.519
It's gonna hit pass by closer right
to Jamaica later today. The storm

111
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:33.559
currently a category four. They're looking
at winds of one hundred and forty five

112
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.320
miles per hour. It's already killed
seven people after devastating Grenada, Saint Vincent

113
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.600
and the Grenadines. An update to
Robert F. Kennedy eating a dog,

114
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.080
He tweeted yesterday in response to that
Vanity Fair article, yeah, blasting them,

115
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.399
saying, listen, your vet that
said that was a dog needs to

116
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.559
lose its license. It was a
goat. I think, yeah, a

117
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.639
goat. Now that for some people
that doesn't change the pay because it's a

118
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.919
pretty gruesome, you know, bones
of a cooked goat on a spit.

119
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.200
But uh, well and doll and
it wasn't taken in Korea either, according

120
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.000
to no but his friend was going
to Korea and he sent him that picture

121
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.720
and said like eat well when you're
over there or something like that, and

122
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.039
there was something about yeah. Anyway, he was very upset about it,

123
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.960
he said the DNS in his tweet. The DNC's media garbage. Pale journalism

124
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.320
may distract us from the cognitive deficits
of the president, but it does little

125
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.360
to elevate the national debate or reduce
the price of groceries. So one thing

126
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.480
that we didn't mention in the last
segment is that Joe Biden had a campaign

127
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.679
fundraiser last night and he made fun
of his poor debate performance. I guess

128
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.600
you have to address it some way. He said it was because of his

129
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.639
international travel that he took a couple
trips around the world for D Day,

130
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.799
that he nearly fell asleep on stage. If you're admitting that, then you're

131
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.879
admitting that you're not up to the
task of being president, because you know

132
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.639
what the president has to do.
He has to take trips around the world

133
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.360
all the time. Well, and
around the world might be a stretch.

134
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.759
He went from he went from France
to New York back to Europe. That's

135
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.000
a five hour act. It's a
quick flight. It's a quick flight.

136
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.279
It's on Air Force one. It's
on Air Force. It's not Spirit Airlines.

137
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.399
It's not a middle seat in the
back of a Spirit Air flight where

138
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.519
you can't even get away from the
smell of the bathroom, speaking of which,

139
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.039
though so the reason he was in
New York obviously was for Hunter Biden's

140
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.840
trial. Hunter is apparently deeply involved
in these meetings with the President and his

141
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.440
top aides since he got back to
the White House from Camp David. Is

142
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.000
that where the President gets his uppers. Well, here's the thing. The

143
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.600
campaign that the family loves Hunter,
and Joe has said, I love Hunter.

144
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.600
He's one of the smartest guys.
I know, I care for him.

145
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.960
You know, my heart would break
for him, and if I get

146
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.240
it, I'm the father of a
son, I know how that feels.

147
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.080
But I also think that other people
in the circle, specifically the campaign,

148
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.200
would say Hunter, we appreciate you, we like you, we're proud of

149
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.159
you, but do not show up
at these meetings. And it's not just

150
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.480
campaign stuff. Now they're saying that
he's been involved in these meetings in the

151
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.720
White House with senior White House staff, not campaign staff, and that when

152
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.120
they walk into the room with the
President, they're like, uh, oh,

153
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.720
I didn't realize what the crackhead in
the corner. I didn't realize that

154
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.879
Chompy mcchew is gums is going to
be here. I mean hasn't he been

155
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.399
a headache enough? And I'm not
saying you shouldn't love your son and despite

156
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:45.320
the mess he has created, but
yeah, he shouldn't be in those another

157
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.960
sign, another sign if the president's
listening to Hunter. And then another follow

158
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.759
up, George Stephanopoulos's plan. Right, we talked yesterday, did the announcement

159
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.919
came down that the campaign knows they
have to get a long form interview out

160
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.440
there so that Joe Biden and can
try to come back from the debate performance

161
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.000
from Thursday night. And they picked
George Stephanopolis, And we were asking the

162
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.559
questions, is it going to be
live? Is it going to be long

163
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.480
form? Is it going to be
George Stephanopolis actually holding him to these questions

164
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.720
and asking difficult questions. It turns
out that ABC says this will be an

165
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:26.440
extended interview on Friday that will not
air until in its full capacity, or

166
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.720
at least the long version of it
until Sunday. A little bit will air

167
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.559
with David muirror on Friday night,
and a little bit will air on Saturday,

168
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.679
and a little bit on Sunday.
Then the whole thing won't happen until

169
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.440
Monday. Right, Well, they
said maybe they said they would air it

170
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.360
on this week on Sunday and Good
Morning America on Monday, but that they

171
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.080
would show portions Friday night and Saturday
Morning shame on ABC. Honestly, we

172
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:56.000
are a country who doesn't know if
the leader is fit to be the president.

173
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.559
Right, show us the entire interview
as quickly as possible, and I

174
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:05.159
mean to use the White House's own
words against them, you know, kringe

175
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.519
On. Pierre came out with the
discussion about the cheap fakes and how certain

176
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.080
videos appeared to be edited. You
know, So show us the raw footage

177
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.159
that's the king and the fact that
they're trying to milk this for ratings.

178
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.159
They're trying to milk a president,
sitting president of the United States, who

179
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.000
is an obvious cognitive decline for ratings. That's so gross. Yeah, look

180
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:35.120
at our train wreck. Look at
our national train wreck. Oh and show

181
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.360
uh and we'll show you a little
bit more tomorrow and well and stay tuned

182
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.960
for Sunday. Yeah, a little
bit more of the train wreck. It's

183
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.600
the weirdest. After these messages,
when we come back, we'll talk about

184
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.720
why Kamala Harris is the most likely
replacement if Joe Biden were to step down

185
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.360
from the top of the ticket.
But she doesn't come anywhere close to somebody

186
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.919
else who pulled very very well against
Donald Trump. Here is the quote that

187
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.759
I can't get over. It's from
Keith Williams, who's chairman of the Michigan

188
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.000
Democratic Party Black Caucus, and he
says, this lady is ready to be

189
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.480
president. She really earned her stripes, Keith. She did not. She

190
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.600
has been a leap frog over over
people her entire career to get jobs.

191
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.039
There's no reason she should not be
leapfrogged. She is, and she is

192
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.919
the example of the Peter principle.
I don't like you invoking the name of

193
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:37.200
my dog. Well, he was
nice enough to sign on to the birthday

194
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.200
card. I appreciate that. But
she is the walking Peter principal, aside

195
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.799
from the puppy, Peter, the
puppy continue. In just a moment,

196
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.320
you're listening to Gary and Shannon on
demand from KFI AM six forty. So

197
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.840
now we can't even go to Fashion
Island. Fashion Island is not free from

198
00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:00.720
violent crime. Man. The only
silver lining in that that's not the right

199
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.759
way to put it. The only
positive thing that comes out of that is

200
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.360
that it was Orange County. Todd
Spitzer's not going to mess around with those

201
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.639
guys. Gavin Newsom we mentioned is
in DC. He's going to be meeting

202
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.080
with the president, one of several
Democratic governors who are going to be talking

203
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.399
with President Biden today at the White
House. But he also did this thing

204
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.720
where he pulled that competing crime measure
off of the ballot, or gave up

205
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.480
the plan to put it on the
ballot. Enough Democrats, I think got

206
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.240
into his ear and said, this
is a really stupid idea. Also,

207
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.559
if he wants to throw his hat
in the presidential ring, that doesn't play

208
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.799
out. That doesn't make you seem
like you're a moderate Democrat. No,

209
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.600
it goes too crazy the other way. Right, there's a big fire in

210
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.480
Oraville. It's probably all meth,
although I don't know that is the case

211
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.600
there still, but it was twenty
years ago, right, Yeah, Yeah,

212
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.080
a lot of meth. This is
about seventy miles north of Sacramento.

213
00:15:54.200 --> 00:16:00.840
Thousands of people have had to evacuate. It's about thirty minutes from Paradise.

214
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.039
I would say, yeah. I
mentioned a couple of weeks ago there was

215
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.240
a fire that broke out, and
nationally it became a story because it was

216
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:14.200
close to the where the fire took
out Paradise, and it was still forty

217
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.840
miles away, but nationally that's as
short little distance. Oraville is closer to

218
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.639
Paradise, definitely. It's burned about
twenty one hundred acres that has burned through

219
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.799
some homes. We will talk about
heat next hour, because there was a

220
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:36.159
suggestion from the National Weather Service that
Death Valley could set the world record for

221
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.480
the hottest temperature recorded on Earth in
the coming days. Really, they said

222
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.759
the expectation is that it will be
well above one hundred and twenty. I

223
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.639
think Monday and Tuesday is when they
expected to be the hottest hour. It

224
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.879
is the record one hundred and thirty
where and when in Death Valley? Actually

225
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.240
so year, a couple of years
ago. Okay, yeah, not that

226
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:02.399
long ago, So be careful.
Okay, back to your point about Gavin

227
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:07.759
Newsom and somebody being leapfrogged potentially.
The Wall Street Journal has an article about

228
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:14.079
why Kamala Harris would be the likeliest
replacement for Joe Biden, among other things.

229
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.039
It's kind of spelled out that way
in the way the parties come up

230
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.160
with rules for replacing a candidate in
the event that it's necessary. It's also

231
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.839
one of those things that she's got
the name recognition. The Biden Harris ticket

232
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.400
is a thing that is easy to
roll off the tongue for a lot of

233
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:37.079
people. And the assumption has been
for a long time that the vice president

234
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:42.960
after someone's term or after two terms, would be the logical candidate to take

235
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.720
over, because they're the closest to
the actual job, and she has the

236
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.319
money already raised by Biden's campaign committee, she would get all of the money.

237
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.559
Donna Brazil says there would be an
uproar if there was an effort to

238
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:02.759
bypass Harris. So that echo that
was echoed by Arriva Martin, who's a

239
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:06.200
longtime civil rights attorney political commentator.
She was actually on with Stephen A.

240
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.599
Smith and said this, talk of
Gretchen Whitmer, b J. Pritzker,

241
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.559
Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, anybody
other than Kamala Harris being a nominee taking

242
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.559
over for Biden would absolutely destroy the
party. You got to build consensus,

243
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:26.599
and there is not consensus right now. If you pick a white man Oba,

244
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.480
Kamala Harris. Black women, I
can tell you this, We're gonna

245
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.720
walk away. We're gonna blow the
party up. If you pick the black

246
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.359
woman. You don't walk away to
a riva. Where are you gonna walk

247
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.599
away to? You'll walk away.
You're gonna walk away to Trump got the

248
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.799
oba Kamala Harris. So where are
we getting agreement from on who this ideal

249
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:51.759
Democratic candidate should be? So I'm
not asking for a white man. In

250
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.359
fact, it looks like people are
asking for another black woman. Michelle Obama

251
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.880
is the only Democrat to beat former
President Trump. In a new poll release

252
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.559
by Reuters IPSOS, they found Michelle
Obama was the only Democrat with a lead

253
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.880
on Trump in this matchup, garnering
fifty percent support to his thirty nine percent.

254
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:17.559
Only four percent of respondents said they
would not vote at all. Who

255
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.720
knows if Michelle Obama wants a job. I don't think she does, but

256
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:26.440
she really would I think beat Trump. Harris apparently only trails Trump by two

257
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:32.559
percentage points in a CNN poll release
yesterday. That's a better showing than Biden.

258
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.160
Kamala Harris has better numbers against Trump
than Joe Biden. And when you

259
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.799
think about it, Her approval ratings
are down near where his are, near

260
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:47.519
where President Biden's are. Her likability
rating is down near where his are.

261
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:53.839
I mean, it's not a it's
not a great replacement unless she has some

262
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.359
way of coming out and you know, just like Joe Biden has it.

263
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.279
According to the New York Times,
he's been telling an ally that he's only

264
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:07.359
got a couple of days to fix
the public image that was destroyed on Thursday

265
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:14.039
night. Kamala Harris would have an
uphill climb to get out of that likability

266
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.240
hole that she's in. And I
don't know how she does that because we've

267
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.799
seen her for years. We saw
her here in California where the times that

268
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:27.319
she spoke did not she did not
engender a lot of likability. So don't

269
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:32.680
I don't get it. I mean, Michelle Obama probably has more of a

270
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.519
likability factor to her, clearly,
I mean, in that poll it shows

271
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:41.519
that she does. But people are
just willing to throw out any expectation of

272
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:48.240
experience or I think, like I
think, people are ready to get rid

273
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.559
of Joe Biden. And that's why
her numbers have risen because of his bad

274
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:59.160
performances, because of his cognitive decline
anybody but Joe Biden, I think for

275
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.759
some people, which is weird.
I mean, you and I could probably

276
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.759
come up. So the only way
Democrats will be able to live with themselves,

277
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:11.160
yeah, if they leave his corner
is to go into hers. I

278
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:18.319
feel like there are multiple names.
I mean, I don't think Michelle Obama

279
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.319
should be in the top ten in
terms of Democrats that could or should lead

280
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.079
the party because I wouldn't want to
vote for somebody as president. But look

281
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.799
at Donald Trump again, I don't
want to vote for him. I don't

282
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.160
want to vote for the guy who
has I mean, now, he clearly

283
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.359
has experience as president, but I
don't know if it's the right experience as

284
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.119
president, and I don't know if
we need to continue going down that path

285
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.039
of division. Like that's the part
I don't like about it. I wonder

286
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:47.440
if the presidency is going the way
of governors, where governors, I think,

287
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.319
by and large are like cheerleaders are
like like Arnold Twarzenegger was perfect.

288
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.319
I don't really think he did the
work. I don't really think Donald Trump

289
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.799
did the work. I don't I
think that now it's just kind of like

290
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:03.079
the cheerleader of the party and Michelle
Obama, I think despite her lack of

291
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.880
experience, I think she has a
lot of experience in being an intelligent person

292
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:11.039
who would surround herself with the people
that Democrats would be comfortable with running the

293
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.359
country. Yeah, and that's I
mean, you said that the other day

294
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.759
when we talked about Michelle Obama.
The opportunity for someone to put together a

295
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:22.720
team of people, and that's why
some of the you know, some of

296
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.799
the candidates will talk about who they
would put in their cabinet, you know,

297
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.960
and they want to show you the
voter that they are smart enough to

298
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.759
put the smart people in the cabinet, whether they agree with them or not.

299
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:37.920
I think it's you know, you
got to have people in the cabinet

300
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.000
that'd be willing to tell you no. And I don't know if she is.

301
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.160
I would hope that she would.
I mean again, I think we're

302
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.440
miles away from Michelle Obama becoming a
candidate because she, along with the Reva

303
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:55.160
Martin, would never want a sidestep
Kamala Harris. Yes, that's true,

304
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.400
that is very true. So Gavin
Newsom could care less. He doesn't care.

305
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.279
He he wants it for him.
He will rapes over her body.

306
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:10.359
Daily Mail had another not a scathing
article because it's all information that we've seen

307
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.200
before, but it was a breakdown
of who Gavin Newsome is, talking about

308
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.000
addiction, talking about his companies,
talking about Kimberly Gilfoyle, talking about the

309
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.000
nineteen year old that he was giving
wine to at an event that he started

310
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:30.599
dating, the best friend's wife that
he started banging around with in Morin.

311
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.519
We know exactly who he is.
Who that rich guy, that entitled guy,

312
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.839
the guy who thinks he can do
anyone he wants to do, and

313
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.400
do anything and do anything he wants. Yeah, and the great quote in

314
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:47.920
that article was he doesn't have any
real friends. Of course he doesn't because

315
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.200
he's not a real person. There's
nothing there to be friends with. Now,

316
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.200
all right, more information, more
stories, No more Biden. Now

317
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:57.000
we'll get back to that and swamp
watch later on. We'll cleanse our palates

318
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.319
with something. Gary and Shannon will
continue. You're listening to Gary and Shannon

319
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.000
on demand from KFI AM six forty. I don't think either one of us

320
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.319
was endorsing Michelle Obama to be president. But people listen. People hear what

321
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.480
they want to hear. I don't
think I've ever endorsed anybody for anything.

322
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.599
That's That's the other thing is you
can't. I don't jump on the back

323
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:23.519
of any sort of politician. What
an awful I really don't find them to

324
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.599
be people that I aspire to be. Unfortunately, we're at a place in

325
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:33.799
this country where only the most cutthroat, most shady people rise to the levels

326
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.960
of power in politics. Manipulative,
manipulative, horrible people that have to do

327
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:48.680
horrible things in terms of achieving and
cultivating their power. That's one of the

328
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:53.119
reasons why I never got into the
world of television, I mean our business.

329
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.119
Everybody asked, well, why how
come you don't do more TV or

330
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:03.559
something? And I just remember remember
being in school hearing from TV people who

331
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.160
are working in the business about what
they had to do to each other just

332
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.720
to get ahead. So cutthroat,
So cut throat just wasn't my personality.

333
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.200
And all the makeup you'd have to
wear and the outfits makeup doesn't find I'm

334
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:22.759
fine with that, Yeah, but
your face is being fake and you have

335
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.640
to you have to put on the
facade you have to be you have to

336
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.599
be happy and pretty, and you
are very pretty and usually happy, but

337
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.519
sometimes I don't know if you're making
a better thirsty You should take a drinks.

338
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:41.160
Happy birthday, Shannon. I discovered
the Gary and Shannon Show during the

339
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.079
pandemic. You've brought me so much
joy and laughter. Oh, thank you

340
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.559
so much, wonderful. Happy birthday, Shannon. You look great for sixty

341
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.839
three. Good morning, Shannon,
you do have a brain. Not many

342
00:25:53.920 --> 00:26:00.559
people nowadays know who doctor Lawrence Peter
is. Thank you for the prince and

343
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:07.920
happy birthday. Oh do go Google. Do you know what the Peter principle

344
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:14.319
is? Probably? Okay, it's
where people keep getting promoted to the point

345
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.759
where they have no skills in their
current position, and then they don't get

346
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:25.680
promoted anymore. Did he work in
radio? Oh my god, I remember

347
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.799
his show. Okay, So upflation
is a new thing. You're not going

348
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.559
to get me in trouble on my
birthday. Upflation is a new thing because

349
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.200
companies are trying to guard their revenue. They're trying to claw back sales,

350
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:47.160
and they're creating things that you don't
need, like whole body deodorance. Ops,

351
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:52.119
I forgot to put deodoran on,
so if I smell like hand soap,

352
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.960
it's because I use some of that
from the kitchen when I got here.

353
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.359
Old honestly, no, no,
no, no, we're not ignoring

354
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:06.000
that. We're not. You decided. Did you shower this morning? Yes?

355
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.880
Okay, so you already have hit
the hot spots with sew hit the

356
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:12.680
hot spots. And but it's a
warm day out there. Out there,

357
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.559
it is, it's sixty two degrees
in here. Yeah. But when I

358
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:19.960
was driving in and then we're walking
in from the garage, started to get

359
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.559
a little you know, in my
age, you start to sweat more than

360
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.720
you did. So I went to
the kitchen here and I got the uh,

361
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.839
you know, the hand soap,
and I got in there, hit

362
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.480
that hot those hot spots again.
Do you smell it? No? And

363
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.640
but I'm now I'm afraid that if
I do smell anything close to it,

364
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:48.279
I'll be like, oh, I
feel gross. Why it's better than than

365
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.720
not using it? I have there
were never eight years, I've never smelled

366
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.480
that, right, and I want
to keep it that way. Yes,

367
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.640
I'm assuming that you would, and
I would appreciate that. But this hand

368
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.000
soap, well that it was either
hands super dish. So I thought we

369
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.400
had emergency deodorant in the office.
We do not. Oh you went through

370
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:12.839
that already. So anyway, companies
are coming out with stuff that you don't

371
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:18.079
need, things like whole body deodorance
for fourteen dollars a pop, or intimate

372
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:25.440
raisers specifically for tricky areas with a
five dollars markup on a regular shaver.

373
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.359
You don't need this stuff, don't
fall for it. So uh okay.

374
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.880
I have noticed a lot of especially
for women, the all over body deal.

375
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:42.640
Yes, women, you don't need
that. Take a shower every day,

376
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:49.000
You're fine. They're what they're doing
is they're trying to capitalize on women's

377
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:56.079
insecurities, and it's ridiculous and wrong, and I think it's weird now this

378
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.519
day and age, especially since women
are so I'm going to be what I'm

379
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.720
going to be, and I'm not
going to conform to a man's idea of

380
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.039
what I'm going to be. Right, you know, women are grown out

381
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:11.319
there underarm hair, they're letting their
their hair go gray. They're living their

382
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.720
lives and they're going to be whole. They're gonna they're going to listen to

383
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:21.759
an advertiser tell them that they need
all over body deodorant. Or what have

384
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:27.839
you. You don't need that soap. It seems like this is just so

385
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.960
personal. Products are one version of
it. But we see it in food

386
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.839
too. Probably you see it in
insurance. You see it in all different

387
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:45.400
places. You know, they sell
you a product that is that is trendy

388
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.759
but not entirely necessary, and then
since it's trendy, that's when they can

389
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.240
put the added on costs. Right, how long have you been using your

390
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:59.640
all over body deodorant for four days? Amazing? I just thought and I

391
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:02.480
thought originally it was because I have
a new puppy. I thought that's what

392
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.799
that smell was. That was not
it, That was not it. So

393
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:15.680
all right, La County has spilled
over into Orange County. The toniest mall

394
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:21.480
in Orange County was the Victim of
Violence where guys ran over a sixty nine

395
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.440
year old there yesterday. We'll tell
you how it went down when we come

396
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.599
back to Gary and Shannon. You've
been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.

397
