This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI A M. Six forty,
the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I just
assumed it was a fire No, it's all the fireworks and it's there's no
wind today, so it's just sitting in the valleys. It smells like cold
hot dogs and sweat and hot Yeah, it's chemicals and the fire works and
it just feels like bay Root. Well byte, but yeah, this was
well, welcome to the fifth of July Live today. We are live.
We're like the only show ever on the fifth right now that I've heard this
morning, other than Heather's show that's you know, regular programming. Yeah,
but I guess Heather's in for Amy, right, true. But yeah,
so I drove up from Orange. Orange County, by the way, does
not play when it comes to fourth of July. It's insane talk about bay
Root. I mean it was popping off everywhere last night in Orange County.
Freedom, Freedom was freedom. I was on the four five at about eight
forty five last night driving back from a party that I had gone to,
and my daughter and her friend were in the car with me, and I
loved it. It was great because on either side of the four or five
there's just random, completely illegal fireworks going off. And as you get closer
up, like to the north end of the valley, back you up where
Danny Trejo punches people on the parade route, it was insanity. Yeah,
I mean hundreds and hundreds and we're doing seventy miles an hour on the freeway
and you still see hundreds and hundreds of fireworks going off. I think I
went to Orange County for the first time in the after the pandemic, the
year after the pandemic and saw the display and thought it was just people that
are pissed off about all the rules and they were just gonna live their freedom
and their liberty and just shoot up. But it's been every year. It's
just it's great. I do enjoy the illegal fireworks. Next hour, we'll
talk about there was a stabbing last night in Huntington Beach. Yeah, two
people were killed, three others in the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
But we're getting very few details about how this all went down, but we
will tell you. We will share what we do have coming up the next
hour. Also, did you hear about the Mountain Lion that was hit on
the four of US. That was hours before I got there. I did
mine with a coyote, not a mountain lion. I would make I would
cause a bigger mess. But they said it was a mountain lion on the
four or five right through the Supulvida Pass near the Getty Museum. Yesterday afternoon
confirmed they picked it up and there was there was another one just the middle
of June along the one to one near where they're building that wildlife crossing.
They're calling this the most important interview of Joe Biden's life, and now they're
going to release the whole thing tonight. It's a again, someone's listening to
the show. We had said a ABC would look bad, yes, if
they recorded something and then just spilled it out. And then also the White
House would look bad if they allowed ABC to do that. Now, granted
the White House doesn't control a network like that, the White House can make
a They could easily say to the powers that be at ABC, hey,
we'd love it if you would just do a full interview. Now, the
thing that I've seen is that they're talking about it being a lengthy interview,
but it might not be any longer than about fifteen minutes. That's not a
lengthy interview. No, and there we need more than fifteen minutes. And
I don't know what the number is. Is it a forty minute, is
it a sixty minute interview? I don't know exactly what the what I feel
would be an appropriate length. Thirty minutes would be a good sampling of fifteen
is ridiculous. Fifteen stupid because that's fifteen minutes you could script. It's fifteen
minutes that could be well orchest straighted. I think will know with our own
eyes even if it is. And here's the other thing, they can't really
heavily edit it because again, then ABC News looks bad like they're trying to
lie to the American people. Yeah, and they say ABC has said they're
gonna also they're gonna release the whole thing tonight. I think five o'clock is
when they said they're going to air it, but that they would also release
a transcript of it. Now, one of the things that I've been reading
over and over again from from a handful of different sources is that the debate
performance that we saw a little more than a week ago was really bad on
video. When you saw it with your own eyes. You were stunned that
that's what we're dealing with. But when you read the transcript, he really
doesn't look too bad, and I thought that doesn't mean anything that's insane.
Granted, both of these guys when you look when you try to read a
transcript of their words, it makes no sense. He's got a rally today?
Is it wiscons Consin? Yeah? And then also here was the other
thing that kind of surfaced over the holiday was did he have a medical checkup?
KJP said he had not seen a doctor since the since the annual in
February. Then it comes out that he did see a doctor after the debate,
but now they're saying it was because of a cold. Here's a fun
litmus test. If you have to go to the doctor for a cold,
you're too old. You're too old to be president. Unfortunately for a cold
again, because if a cold is dangerous, is this is going to knock
you out? You don't have any pre existing conditions, Chances are you're probably
too old to be sitting president. The what we also found out about the
meeting that he had with governors back on Wednesday was he suggested to them,
I'm going to get to bed earlier. Yeah, I need more sleep,
so I'm going to get to bed. Don't get to do when you're president,
go to bed. I very little sleep. There's a reason why that
is a trope of campaign commercials is who do you want answering the phone at
two thirty in the morning. There's a reason people age with a quickness when
they're sitting president. Look at Barack Obama for example. It's because it's stressful.
You don't get a lot of sleep, you have the weight of the
world on your shoulders. That is not something for somebody that has presented himself
as Joe Biden. Is its abuse. There are a series of Democratic donors
who have said they will withhold money and big money until and unless the Democrats
remove Biden at the top of the tim Abigail Disney is one of those people.
Says she's going to stop donating to Democrats period, stop donating to all
Democrats unless he is replaced. She told CNBC she will stop all contributions to
the party until Biden drops out. She says she means no disrespect. She
says he's a good man, he served the country admirably. But the stakes
for this election are too high. She said, if the Biden doesn't remove
himself, the Democrats will lose and the consequences will be dire. She has
contributed almost two million dollars to candidates, committees, and groups in the past
ince nineteen ninety two. Wow, I just got a clarification now from the
ABC News interview that we expect the interview is likely to last between fifteen and
twenty five minutes. According to people who are familiar with the negotiations between the
White House and ABC, Presidential advisors oftentimes will try to dictate the length of
an interview like this, but because they say it's going to be aired without
edit, that could depend on the president's answers and George Stephanopoulos's willingness to press
for clarification if necessary, or or follow up questions or that sort of thing.
But again, they said that the primetime special has been previewed to ABC
affiliates as lasting for thirty minutes. Whether that means they're going to do a
quick intro, feedback pundits afterwards, something like that, but we expect it
to be somewhere between fifteen and twenty five minutes, at least, according to
the way they've negotiated it all right. Coming up next, we will catch
up with Hurricane Burrel. Hurricane Burl's next stop will be in the Yuktan Peninsula
today, Mexico, so we'll find out if it's going to be a threat
to Texas as well. When we come back, Gary and Channon will continue.
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.
The Milwaukee Brewers joined the National League. Okay, they're playing the Dodgers tooner.
I'm like, and that's significant, but just because I don't Okay,
Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Did
you hear about the latest brain eating amiba death? No? Is this somewhere
in the South, Well it's in India, so yes, oh, okay,
Well that's different. Three people have died in India from a brain eating
amba. Fourteen year old boy went for a swim boom, dead five year
old girl and a thirteen year old girl all from brain eating amba after a
swim. Anyway, I'll get some good news, I hope. So.
Israeli negotiators have traveled to caught her today. However, you want to say
it. I don't care. For the first time in several weeks, they're
restarting contact over a ceasefire deal that would potentially end the war in Gaza.
We've seen weeks of deadlock and negotiations this Israeli. One Israeli official told The
New York Times that the meeting is a preliminary discussion. They do hope that
there will be some more substance of substantive talks to follow. Hurricane Burl roared
ashore on the Yucatan Peninsula this morning. You're the resort town of Tulam,
Tullam, Tuloom, to Loom, whatever you want to say. However,
right caught her cutter Qatar Tuloom, Talem Tullem. It doesn't matter. Literally,
nobody's listening. We could probably burn the building down live. Actually,
somebody wanted to put up before we get into Burl remind Shannon that although she
and Gary may be there today on July five, that yesterday, on the
fourth of July, Tim Conway and Moe both had their shows, So they
worked yesterday. That pomps you working today, Yeah, put out your pipeing's
smoking. But they're not today, are they. I don't know. Well,
were scheduled to work there. Nobody was going to listen to us.
Yesterday people are barbecuing, they were grilling, they were enjoying the friends and
family and the fireworks. Yes, I spent nine in the morning. No
one wants to hear about Burrell on the fourth of July. The resort towns,
like you said, King Kuon to Loom is just south of King Kun
on the peninsula there. So it it made land fall and it's going to
probably become nothing more than a and I say that kind of tongue and scheek,
nothing more than a tropical depression. By the time it makes its way
across into the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people have been killed. Oh yeah,
yeah. There was a guy in Jamaica that I saw, I interviewed
this morning. He said he's never seen anything like this. Describe what what
you went through. Wow, it was terror. I never experienced nothing like
that before. The wind was also devastated because something like I never seen before.
You just coming like you have a blower. I just turn it down.
I need a start to blow. You're nut WHOA I not even know
to explain it. They said that some of the islands and the Grenadines where
it first made landfall. Ninety percent of the buildings are gone. Wow,
ninety percent of the buildings are gone. And this was the biggest I mean,
to that guy's point, I don't know how old he is, but
to that guy's point, there has not been a Category four hurricane that has
hit Jamaica since nineteen eighty eight. People stocked up after seeing barrel tear through
the Caribbean. A Lucia. She's thirty seven, stocked up on food,
hid away in their homes. She said. We woke up this morning.
Everything was all right. The streets are a disaster, but we're fine.
In Corpus Christie, they are distributing sandbags. They distributed ten thousand sandbags in
less than two hours this morning. Yeah, it seems pretty likely that Burrow,
whatever it is at the time, when it gets up to Texas,
will actually hit Texas to some degree. It does lose power without the warm
waters of the Caribbean. It will lose power as it makes its way across
the Yucatan Peninsula, but the and the Gulf of Mexico is not as warm
as the rest of the Caribbean, so it's not expected to regain too much
strength, although it is going to re intensify to some degree. According to
the National Hurricane Center, a storm surge could increase water levels by four to
six feet above ground level in that Yucatan Peninsula area and then throughout eastern Mexico
and the Gulf Coast of the United States. We're going to see huge swells.
It could cause life threatening surf and rip current conditions throughout northern I guess
that's northeastern Mexico into the southern part of Texas also, so not fun.
Not fun. So we're just going to sit here in our own soup,
our own smoky sweating. We are a gross people out there today. That
is some thick, ugly air. And it was weird because when I woke
up this morning, there was a breeze at my house like it was an
oddly it felt like that hair dryer breeze where it's eighty degrees. Yeah,
flowing a little bit, but man, coming down that new we'll pass into
the end of the valley, just wash. It did not look good.
Good morning, Gary and Shannon. Happy fifth of July, thank you,
or I like to call it happy hungover July. Helloa. So did you
guys know that Danny Trayho was eighty. I mean, at the end of
the day, scraping may not be the best thing. But if Janny trey
Hoo was running for president, I put my book behind that eighty year old
man. But eighty great looks for eighty. I don't know about great looks
for eighty. I mean he's he's still got it. I mean, he
what do you think you're gonna look like at eighty. I'm not gonna look
like a deflated bag. Someone is afraid of their birthday, aren't they?
Ah feels weird. I was fear right in the face all day with tears
in my arm. Okay. So, amid the ongoing fallout from the debate
debacle, talk in many top democratic circles has moved into who would run with
Kamala who would be her running mate, because it seems pretty clear she kind
of have to be the one to take over because of the money issue,
the money, the black woman not to be usurped by a white man issue,
all of that exactly. So we'll talk about that. There are some
names that are bubbling up to the surface. One name is absent. What's
your name? Gavin? Oh, I think you're going to keep it as
a tease and you're going to say, I'll tell you after the break.
Yeah. Gary and Shannon will be right back. You're listening to Gary and
Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty. Hurricane World made landfall south of
Cankun today, about a Category two hurricane. It's going to lose some strength
as it makes its way across the peninsula. There at least three islands in
the Grenadines report more than ninety percent of the buildings on those islands are either
destroyed or severely damaged. All three of those within the Granadine Island Chain Borough,
of course, roared into the Caribbean on the southern end of the windwards
between Saint Vincent and Grenada. The couple of fires, well a handful of
fires, i should say, burning throughout California. One of them significant.
One they're concerned about is the French Fire burning up in Mariposa County near the
entrance to Yosemite. Caltran said that Highway one forty is going to be closed
from the north junction of Highway forty nine to the east of the north junction
of Highway forty nine Basin Fire east of Fresno, also over fourteen thousand acres
that's about forty six percent containment. And then another big fire burning up in
the farther northern part of the state, the Thompson Fire near Oraville, is
at about thirty eight hundred acres up there. It is going to be busy
at the airport's Sunday and Monday, that's when the TSA expects to see the
big traveler rush for the holiday weekend. And then tonight, ABC News has
changed course. Last week we heard the interview with President Biden. Would Aaron
snippets. Now they say the interview will be shown in its entirety at five
pm hour time on ABC News. There was a couple of things that happened
politics wise. Joe Biden got caught on radio interview saying that he was the
first black female vice president. Yeah, I mean, I know what he's
slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I know it what he
did, and you know, I want to make excuses for the guy,
but it's one of those where you don't have That's not one that I considered
to be a particular particularly big gaff how's that well? And then there was
the fourth of July picnic and fireworks where he appeared with Kamala Harris. What
happened? They both won on this one. And we give thanks to our
commander in Chief, the President of the United States, the extraordinary President of
the United States, Joe Biden. Oh boy, what ho ho? Happy
Independence Day? Here we go. H that's a better version. Okay.
So there's a there's a handful of things about this. Okay, whatever happens
with Joe Biden, whatever happens, if he stays in the race, if
he doesn't stay in the race. Kamala Harris's profile is even bigger now than
it was a week ago because of what we saw on Thursday night, and
we talked about it earlier in the week. I think that she's getting a
bump because he is flailing so badly that next to him, she looks like
a better option. And I think that that's what's going on there. They
say that she and her staff have deliberately ignored most of the calls and texts
coming their way, remaining on the message about both her support for Biden and
her pride and sticking with him. But there have been some changes. Only
after the debate did her office update or schedule to put her with Biden for
fourth of July. She has not attended the picnic before. She usually goes
to a stop at a local fire station. And this is an important thing.
You mentioned this before. The White House and the campaign both know this
isn't a very important seventy two hours for the president because of the rally that
they, by the way, scheduled at the last minute up in Wisconsin,
because of the interview tonight, and then because of whatever the fallout is from
that interview. So remember we talked about how the governors all descended on Washington,
the worried about Biden and his viability come November. Apparently the White House
initially offered Kamala Harris. Democratic governors are on the horn, like coming to
Washington, we got to have an audience with Joe Biden. We need to
see this for ourselves. What are we dealing with? And the White House
said, no, you can speak with Kamala Harris. And they said absolutely
not, but that was their initial offer. But so she was added.
Yeah, so she was added to the meeting and she closed it with a
speech or urging unity and sticking with the president. One of the things that
that Trump is going to do regard again, regardless of what happens at the
top of the ticket on the other side, is he's gonna he's gonna make
this about Kamala Harris, and he's gonna say, listen, that guy's old
and befuddled. And you saw that in the debate. Now we have to
talk about what happens if he can't do the job and the vice president has
to step in. He's already described Kamala Harris as incapable of doing the job,
calls her a phony, he calls her lot laughing Kamala Harris, which
was different because it used to be cackling co pilot Kamala Harris. I mean,
all of the things that, uh, those attacks on her are going
to be ramped up because he's going to make this about the vice president,
assuming or playing on the story that Joe Biden would never be able to complete
a second term. A Democratic senator offered a metaphor using the NFL which we
appreciate here. He said that he likened Biden and Harris to a star quarterback
who needs to be taken off the field in their backup, he said,
we start talking in the huddle, do we put in the backup QB.
The backup knows our team, the backup knows the plays the backup has played
in the NFL. The Senator said. The crowd in the stands, full
of passionate fans, starts chanting, put in the kid from Alabama, put
in the quarterback from Wisconsin. All just because the backup through an interception earlier.
But we know the backup and have confidence in them. That's fascinating because
you totally want that as a fan. You want to throw in a wild
card instead of the guy who through the interception earlier. Well, so that
has also prompted a bunch of discussions about what Kamala Harris would do in the
event that Joe Biden steps down and Kamala Harris becomes the president. She gets
to nominate a vice president who is then approved by the Republican controlled House of
Representatives. Now that's a whole other issue that would put us in more unprecedented
times. But there've already been some names of people that she would you know,
the shortlist potentially of. Again, it's the weirdest hypothetical, but Joe
Biden steps down, Kamala Harris becomes the vice president or becomes the president and
then gets to nominate her own vice president. Roy Cooper out of North Carolina,
Andy Basher out of a governor out of Kentucky, Josh Shapiro out of
Pennsylvania. JB. Pritzker Illinois, Tim Walls Minnesota. All of those are
potentials that even Democrats would probably get behind. Cooper has had a relationship with
Harris that goes back years to when they were both attorneys general. In a
late twenty twenty interview, after Cooper won his current term and Harris was elected
vice president, he talked about how their really good relationship had continued into her
senate years. She would occasionally consult with him on Trump judicial appointees from his
home state. He says that she is whip smart. That just doesn't but
sheer knows how to win tough races. They say, he's won the top
office twice in a much more Republican heavy state and did it while talking up
democratic values. And he's forty six. Yeah, that's the other thing.
Kamala Harris would turn sixty just before the election. She's fifty nine. Rows
should be I think October is her birthday. She would be sixty just before
the election. Just think of the imagery of Joe Biden at eighty two and
Kamala Harris at sixty, the difference between the two of those going into whatever
November fifth is about to bring. Because I feel like we I was having
a conversation. I was having a conversation with John Cobalt last night, of
all people, and we were talking about eight years ago. We started saying
things like, Wow, we've never seen this before. Yeah, this is
the unprecedented. And now every week we now, well, in the last
seven days, we've said it every single day, We've never seen something like
this before. And we've still got one hundred and twenty plus days before the
election. And well, I'll find out how it works together. Hey,
all right, Gary and Shannon will continue. Oh my gosh, more problems.
Was Diddy? Have you seen the latest? Oh yeah, this this
broke. This is the latest woman, the latest born star that he may
have sex with people. Right, it's so gross. I just the grand
jury investigation. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six
forty. Of course, it is the big interview tonight. With President Biden.
They're calling it the most important interview of his life. It will be
released at about five pm hour time. This is going to be all eyes
on Joe Biden whether or not his mental fitness is up to the level of
a sitting president, you know. And it's been an interesting look at the
last week to see which media outlets have blasted conservative outlets for saying there's something
going on with Grandpa Joe, like there's something he doesn't seem like he's on
top of it like he used to be, and see the slow progression of
either the New York Times today it happens to be The Washington Post finally post
articles about oh yeah, there have been people who've been saying this for weeks.
Today's article from the Washington Post says, quote President Biden, who at
eighty one is the oldest person ever to hold the office, has displayed signs
of accelerated aging in recent months, said numerous aids, foreign officials, members
of Congress, donors and others who have interacted with Biden over the last three
and a half years, noting that he moves more slowly, speaks more softly,
and has moments when he loses his train of thought more often than even
just a year ago. When do we start having the conversation of him not
being fit for office right now? And is there a thought process behind the
Democrats orchestrating a twenty fifth Amendment situation? Move Kamala Harris into the seat and
then have a little bit of momentum going into the convention. Have it a
little bit of time? Yeah, yeah, there is something to be said.
I did see an interview this morning, so jobless numbers came out.
The Labor Department said that non farm payrolls increased two hundred and six thousand,
better than they were expecting. And when you ask the Labor secretary, when
one of the reporters was asking the Labor secretary is there any talk in the
cabinet about twenty fifth Amendment? And she said, well, of course not.
Then that's ridiculous. I mean, that's ridiculous. You cannot see what
has happened over the course of the last seven days and at least have the
conversation about it now. I understand why she denied that. I understand why
she would say, of course, full confidence in the but you have to
I mean, what we I think had learned, if you didn't already know
it in the last seven days, is they're going to keep up appearances.
They're gonna do everything they can to keep up appearances. And then when you
see the crack, sorry, the chink in the army, when you armor,
when you see the curtain pulled back just a tiny bit and the wizard
back there is not the great all powerful wizard, that's when they need to
say, you're right, this is what's going on. Here's the discussion.
Who has the balls to raise their hand in the group chat of the cabinet
and say, hey, we should talk about this. Nobody nobody has those
balls. They're all beholden to the person who gave them the job exactly exactly.
So I just it's I'd like to see, you know, maybe Pete
boot edge Edge find his cajones again. I don't think, because not only
are you going again personally against that per right that Pete would go up against
Joe, but then you have to deal with the entire party apparatus around him.
But follow the money. If donors are backing out from giving to any
Democrat, true, that is a snowball situation that you have to act quickly.
You've got to stop it now. Yeah, okay, uh p Diddy
Sean Diddy Combs is now being sued again, this time by a woman who
said that she was employed at his white party, the Labor Day White Party,
and says that she was expected to take drugs and have sex with several
guests. Adria English, who performed in porn movies under the name Omanique,
says in the lawsuit that she has lived her adult life with the memories of
being trapped in a cycle of sex trafficking. She never asked to be a
part of and was chosen because Diddy knew he could groom her. This is
the tenth at least the tenth law suit filed against Ditty alleging physical abuse and
sex trafficking. Fox News and TMZ have reported that in this legal document that
her first year working at the party in Miami, quote had no sinister intent
to requirements for any physical sexual contact and seemed to be a legitimate employment opportunity.
Therefore, she was invited back the following year and she took the job,
but she said the third party that she worked at he he being Ditty,
demanded that she begin engaging in intercourse with guests, as they had learned
about her past as a porn star and used it to forcefully coerce her into
sex work. She talked about some of her memories. The details of the
parties are hazy because of the fact that she was expected to consume copious amounts
of alcohol abulus at narcotics. The lawsuit also names a woman who she claims
facilitated Ditty's sex trafficking operation. The complaint compares her to Ghlainne Maxwell, of
course, who was convicted and sentenced to prison for recruiting and grooming the victims
for Jeffrey Epstein. The woman quoting here from the suit was to defendant Combs
as Glaine Maxwell was to Jeffrey Epstein. It added that without the woman using
her inherent goodwill as a woman to gain the trust of another woman, coordinating
and acting as an avatar for Combs, he would be unable to execute his
corrupt sex trafficking organization so this lawsuit. News of this lawsuit comes at the
same time that Diddy's legal team was notified by federal authorities in the Southern District
of New York that he in fact is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation
that the a federal grand jury is hearing evidence as part of the investigation,
but no indication that charges are imminent or even that it would result in charges
necessarily. But a subject of an investigation is someone who happens to be within
the scope of a criminal investigation, but not even necessarily the target. An
individual has designated a target when prosecutors say they are likely to try to get
an indictment from the grand jury against that person. And then when you are
involved, you're in the scope that can be upgraded or downgraded. They can
eventually change that make you a target. But apparently they have to send out
a target letter that suggests that you're the target so that your legal team has
the ability to defend yourself or defend them. I'm glad you're taking notes so
that you know how to handle this. Actually, Channon, I was pretty
bummed that you guys weren't on yesterday. I listened to the BBC instead of
the Katy BBC. That's a fun pivot. We should just do it the
show with an accent the time. I don't do accents. Well, you
do it. I think you could do it. I do think I could
do it perfect coming into work today. It helps a heck of a lot
of us. Do appreciate you. Hector here truck talking to Mississippi. Yeah,
happy July. Yeah, we should do honks today. People should call
in and honk for the show. If they're listening. I think that's a
great thank you, Hector. Yeah, thank you for the I love a
honk. It's a honk on Friday. Did you used to do that when
you were a kid, Trying to get truck drivers to honk their horn by
going like this, I take my shirt off, You take your shirt off,
and just get those nipples right up there on that window. Didn't really
work. No work as much as I had expected. Talk about trafficking,
talk about it. Disappointing display. Actually you got a pretty good set.
Thanks You're welcome for a man could set of honkers on me? Are you
going to do this with your hands? We are seven? Uh, well
we were six and nine. But nobody's here that I police us, So
I feel like it's just gonna be an off the rails kind of day.
Does anybody have matches? Up to this point, it's been mostly on the
rails, like three out of the four wheels, or on the rails.
Yeah, well, that's all gonna change, folks. We'll talk about heat
when we come back, whether you like it or not. Gary and Shannon
will continue right after this. You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
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 Lab
