This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf I AM six forty,
the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Gary, I'm
so sorry. We really need to set up a gofund me poor Shannon,
and not send her money but espresso copy because she is at her funniest when
she is higher than a kite on four shots of espresso coffy beans. Poor
Gary. Hang in there, Gary, we love you. You're off it.
Yeah, you're off it, she said. Dang, Shannon woke up
and chose violence this morning, girl. Fifty more days, fifty more days
until kickof I know, and there you can take all your aggression out on
the side it. Yes, I love you, love you back. I
have the countdown in my head as well. Is that what's going on?
There's definitely some unspent energy that we're dealing with, so it's throwing espress so
when it doesn't help, it's funny. We how we keep track of time,
right? I always say, and I know your husband feels this way
too, because we've talked about it. At the end of the Super Bowl.
We always go, oh, look, nine days until pictures and catchers
report or whatever. Yes, the end of the last out of the World
Series, will say, oh, look, one hundred and nineteen days until
pictures and catchers report, is there a Is there a like All Star break?
You think football's right around the corner because they've got to I mean,
don't they have a game this month? If I was paying attention to baseball,
yes, but I didn't even know last night was the All Star game
show. Hey, Otani had a three run home run for the next I
finished watching Receiver on Netflix. Crushed the ball. He does what he does,
It's incredible. It was I mean, his stance, he knew it.
Everybody in the stadium knew it as soon as he hit it. I
have I just I wonder what that feels like. I took three videos of
him striking out when we went to have video of him on my phone,
because you just never know when something special is gonna happen. Iran is denying
our accusations that it was plotting to kill former President Trump. Yeah, their
official statement said this what me CNN said. Trump had his security boosted weeks
ago after authorities here received intelligence about an alleged Iranian plot against him. Iranian
says, what'd they say again what me called them unsubstantiated, malicious. A
Foreign Ministry spokesman says iron strongly rejects any involvement in the recent armed attack against
Trump. Do you see this video of a cow on the top of a
sloped roof, Well, that's so great, my goodness. If the cow
can do it, so can the Secret Service. And if I'm the Secret
Service. If I'm a member of the Secret Service, and I hear my
boss say that, I am embarrassed, I don't want to go to a
hot dog party tonight, right because I feel like I'm too wimpy to get
on a sloped roof. Somebody in good natured ribbing would come out to you
and meet you at the driveway and escort you in on the off chance.
Yet, I know, listen, and even if you can handle a slope
driveway, there's three steps on the ad, I don't know if you can
see the front door through that tree. And again, this is not us
making fun of the Secret Service. Those men and women put their lives on
the line. It's whatever management, whatever management decisions went into what happened on
Saturday, awful, awful. There is discussion about a detonator that was reportedly
found near the shooter's body also, and the explosive materials is as descriptive as
I've seen it that were found in a van that they believe that he had
been driving. So they don't know if that was going to be part of
a distraction, a defense mechanism, if it was just going to be an
attention getter something like that. And then we also heard from the sheriff in
Butler County apparently who knows the law enforcement officer who saw the shooter on the
roof. Remember this story out about two officers who were responding to the spectators
basically who were reporting that somebody had climbed up onto the roof with a rifle
and then one of the two officers was able to lift himself up or be
lifted up by the other officer and kind of grabbed the edge of the roof
and that's when the gunman supposedly swung the rifle at him and then went back
seconds later when the shooting started. And there are questions about what responsibility that
officer has. Is he just supposed to sit there and literally draw fire from
almost no range at all to bring attention to the fact that a gunshot would
have gone off, and that probably would have prompted the Secret Service to get
the president off the stage. What human being, regardless of their training,
would sit there and allow somebody to shoot them in the head for the greater
good. I don't know. There's just no human instinct. What it would
prompt you to fall back like he did. Bill Gage is a consultant at
safe Haven Security Group. He's also a former Secret Service agent. He says
it is clear that the shooter did an advance run of the target before the
event. Now, he scouted that rally site. He said, Oswald did
it, Hinckley did it. They all scouted before. He purchased Ammo hours
before the rally. He bought a ladder at home depot as well. Okay,
let's talk about the ladder, because I feel like the ladder thing is
being we need to know there. I have seen pictures of two different sides
of the building. One of them appears to be kind of a fixed maintenance
kind of ladder that's built onto a side of a building, and the other
one is an actual ladder that somebody put up on the side. But that's
after the shooting, and I want to talk to new says it's confirmed he
bought a ladder. Well, he bought a ladder. Bought a ladder in
This guy, the security expert, says, he knew that there were elevated
positions. He knew that there would be buildings off in the distance that he
needed a ladder to access. Whether or not he used it, I don't
know, but it's neither here nor there. It's really not important to the
story. The discussion today has been centered around the tactical team that was using
that building, that AGR building as a staging area, and that is perfectly
understandable, acceptable, and anybody looking at that scene would have said, that's
one place that you need to have officers. But if they were staged inside
the building at the time of the event, that is such a weirdly lackadaisical
way. Why is the patrol that area? Why would anybody be assigned inside
that building for what reason? Unless they were operating the drone that was circling
around overhead to make sure there was no security threat, unless they were doing
some sort of surveillance with equipment in there looking at different angles of the event.
Other than that, what the hell use are you to be inside at
an event like a rally, and it looks like a simple metal shed,
I mean constructed. It's not like it's going to have a lot of insulation
in it necessarily. So those officers that were inside the building, I would
assume, heard eight shots from an ar fifteen to ten feet above their heads.
I just realized I stole this water from the kitchen. I didn't pay
for it. Do we mean to call somebody like, is there a way
to detox you off of four shots of espresso? Because I feel like this
is going to be a problem. I'm now in a life of Yeah,
there's cameras in there. I know I gotta go back and pay for it.
Boy, I was going to talk about just a quick note local,
not even locally, but California wise. A mayor that we've talked about many
times, the former mayor of Stockton, Michael Tubbs. Young guy. He
started the pilot program, the universal Basic Income program there. He has announced
that he is running for Lieutenant governor Okay to replace the lady Kuna Loakas who
is running for governor. Of course, now he's a champion for that UBI,
that universal Basic income and initiatives like it. They consider him a rising
star in the Democratic Party. He is currently serving as a special advisor to
Gavin Newsom for economic mobility that means and he announced his campaign early today.
We should come up with fake names, fake titles for what we do here.
Special advisor for yapping, special advisor not too that's not bureaucratic enough.
We'll have to work. I don't think we're advisors. I think we're more
like we're open. You ever hit Okay, I have to ask you this.
It's just you and me here ready? Yeah? You ever hid a
purchase from your husband? Yes? Are you kidding? Oh? I'm sorry?
Is it Wednesday? Yes? Did you buy something for Amazon Prime Day
and not tell him? Do I try to get home early and hide things?
Yes? Like packages to come up? Well, you know, I
I don't go places anymore to shop. I'm not that I'm a big shopper.
I'm not, never have been, but I certainly don't like go to
like a mall or anything and buy a bunch of stuff on a given day.
So I like, I'll buy stuff from time to time, and then
I feel like I'm, you know, unnecessarily buying things, right, I
feel the guilt. The guilt. There is a story that suggests that stealth
shopping is what they call it, keeping it from your partner. Everyone does
this one of my high Oh yeah, I have a girl, you know
Katie. Sure, she hides things like nobody's business. She has the nanny
hide stuff. I guess. I don't know if my wife hides stuff like
she'll buy toys for her son and then hide the purchases. Because what happens
there is a conversation that the baby has too many toys. Oh okay,
stuff like that. Yeah, it's a hole to do. Well if you
if you keep stuff from your spouse, we'd love to know about it.
You can send us a message on the talkback feature on the iHeart as.
I did get my husband a birthday gift for him on Amazon Prime because it's
Prime Day. Today's the last day of Prime Day. Can we talk about
Prime Day for a second. Yeah? Is there any more manufactured holiday than
Amazon Prime Day? They're all manufactured? What the hell do you think Valentine's
Day is? Well, that's that's my crap. But this is a perfect
hot they it came out of nothing. It it came out of knowing cards
for Prime There was a Saint Valentine. I mean, there's no Saint Bezos
and why we celebrate him on July sixth, I don't guess. We celebrate
consumerism and good deals a la America. What is it stuff you need?
No, it's never things you need. Gavin Newsom is being hit with a
lawsuit over the story we reported to you yesterday the state's new gender identity law.
He signed that law Monday, banning schools from notifying parents if their child
asks to change their name or pronouns. The Chino Valley Unified School District claims
parents have a right to know and is the first to file a lawsuit to
Chino Valley Unified. If my kid was caught having sex with another person of
some gender I don't know about, I would be notified, wouldn't I I
don't know. If my kid was that's part of the problem in the bathroom,
I would be noticed. You're giving a parental power to teachers over your
children. I mean, like, what if you have a nutcase teacher.
We've all had one. I love teachers. We have families of teachers.
Yeah, they don't get paid enough in my opinion, however, we've all
had one nutbag teacher along the way somewhere, if she was making decisions for
my kid, burn it. Oh mind at all the goodness. That's the
thing I don't quite understand. And listen, I know a lot's been said
lately about Elon Musk and his decision to take SpaceX out of California and saying
that this was the last straw. I mean that, I don't know why
this would be the other There seems like there'd be a million other things for
a business to make a decision on to leave California. But the arrogance with
which this was passed is what I think bothers me the most. It doesn't
surprise me knowing who was who has been behind this, but the idea that
a school or a district or a politician or I mean, anybody outside of
the parent has a bigger role in that child's life than the parent has just
a narcissism. I mean, well, I'm shocked that he did this because
he has been a shadow campaign for president. He's been busy with that for
months now, and he's moved more moderate with things. This takes him and
throws him far to the left, as left as you can get in terms
of the progressive platform. I have a quick sports story, actually a good
one. Cavin Sullivan. Cavin has been named on the Philadelphia Unions squad for
tonight's Major League Soccer game against the New England Revolution. If Cavin gets in
the game, he will be the youngest player in Major League Soccer history.
How old do you think Calvin Sullivan is to be the youngest player in MLS
history? Seventeen fourteen years and two and ninety three days. Wow, fourteen
years. He would break the record held by Freddie Aidou, who was fourteen
years old when he played. Oh yeah, Freddie Adu, Do you remember
that from twenty years ago? Of course I do. Being a big deal
fourteen year old kid playing a professional sport. He was just like Messi because
he could wouldn't clean his room, Lionel, Oh you, it's not your
sport. President Biden is said to be considering endorsing some major reforms at the
Supreme Court. This would be the first sitting president in generations to back changes
to the way the court operates. Chief among these changes that he's thinking about,
or at least looking at, would be term limits for nine Supreme Court
justices, which are they are currently serving for lifetime, or until they decide
not to. The President is said to be preparing to throw support behind an
ethics code for the Court that would contain an enforcement mechanism which right now is
absent from the Court of the code that the Court adopted last year. Bless
your heart. You'd need Congress to do this, and you're going to lose
Congress if you continue to stay in the race. Very very true. He's
looking at whether he should push for a constitutional amendment that would reverse the ruling
from the Court earlier this month that gave president's immunity for some actions while they
take office. The problem with amendments is they take a long time. Not
that I would disagree with it. I actually think that would be a perfectly
fine constitutional amendment, but in terms of endorsing one and then getting an amendment
passed is very Come on, man, come what's with you guys? Anyway?
What's with you guys? Come on man? Anyway? His name was
Mouse? Did you see this? No? Who you didn't see that clip?
I'll pull it up. Did he say something about mouse? He did?
This weird situation at the NAACP. I forget what the event was specifically
with you guys, come on, man, But I guess the convention of
some kind. He also did an interview with B. E. T last
night. No, I don't want to hear that it's going to be embarrassing.
Well, I have a little bit of it. Okay, Well,
he just he has a new criteria by which he would step down at the
top of the ticket. Okay, if you remember, one of them was
if the Lord Almighty told me to stop. The second one was if I
thought I would lose, which he doesn't. He still doesn't think he would
lose. And then the third one was if he doesn't feel well, if
there's some medical condition in emergency, somebody doctors came to me, said you
got this problem, that problem. But I made a serious mistake in the
whole debate. So if the doctors tell him, or if the doctors are
told by the Lord Almighty that he's going to lose, maybe the three,
maybe all three. Does somebody in the family go to him when he's sleeping
and say something like, Joe, it's me the Lord Almighty, get out.
No, who in the family wants him to not run? Well,
Jill is drunk on power by all the people around her. According to sources,
Hunter's not going to tell him not to run. Hunter, I'm not
going to touch it. Addiction is an ugly thing. Gary and Shannon k
I am six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I was listening to
a radio show this morning that is at the convention, and they were talking
about how tiring it is. They said, can't explain it, but it's
really tiring. And I was remembering us at the convention eight years ago,
and I just remember it being first whatever reason, I don't know if it's
all though, the extra walking and going through Secure and the leaving early and
to get there and transportation and all of the secure to everything, and then
doing the show and trying to get guests and everything. It really is like
at the end of the day, you are dog tired well. And I
don't remember there being a lot of downtime even now, even the times if
we would go back to UH to our hotel rooms, there was not a
lot of time where you just were because you'd always want to watch what was
going on, or read what was going on, or talk to people about
what was going on. There was never downtime. I mean, it felt
like they were back to back too, where they oh they were right eight
years ago? Yeah, yeah, because I remember they lost our luggage,
that's right. They were just going to go straight to Philly or whatever for
flea flight was so late in Cleveland. Husband was like, you guys have
to come home just to sleep in your bed for one night. You guys
have to come home. And he was so right about that. But I
remember on like a Wednesday in Philly and I was just I got into that
the card table we were set up in the lobby of that convention center,
and I remember looking at you being like I and you were like, it's
okay, calm down. Gas tank was empty. Gas tank was empty,
and you put on like Justin Bieber or something through our headsets, and I
was like, okay, all right, we got a couple more days.
Choose, I don't know, but it was very calming. But yeah,
that was crazy. Yeah, that was crazy, going back to back like
that. And it was also the trauma of staying in the Dead Hooker hotel
in Cleveland, or not even in Cleveland. Well that I had we done
it the other way around. We stayed in the Dead Hooker. You were
so poor. We couldn't even stay in Cleveland proper. But then we stayed
in a nicer hotel in Cherry Hill, New Jersey's actually right across the river
from Phillies, which was better. Could you imagine if it was reversed,
That's what I mean, it would have been, oh my god, awful.
And one of my favorite moments is when we were at the Dead Hooker
Hotel and they had this like tiny breakfast room where they had stale bread and
like little cups of like yogurt off brand Cereal fake egg omelet in the morning.
So we're sitting there and we're watching the twelve inch television that's in there,
which was one of those cube TVs back of our childhood crt with the
rabbit ears, and we're watching the local news there, just looking down at
this piece of stale bread and being like what are we doing here? And
Ray Lopez is on the TV. It's on the TV, and we're like,
what the hell is Ray doing on the local news with this s eating
grin on his face because the airline gave him one thousand dollars or something for
booting him off his flight. Yeah, because Southwest had a massive computer air
and that was one of the main areas was the Cleveland Airport and then Ray
Lopez. By the time we got to the airport, he was he had
been there for hours using the company credit card to eat and drink and have
himself a great day at the airport. And we sat for lunch. I
mean our lunch was probably three and a half hours. It was a long
time because everything was delayed. Everything was delayed, and we know our plane
kept getting pushed back and farther and farther, and he just would say,
hey, rum and coke and just keep him coming. And he went through
about sixteen And I am not exactger. They lost money on Ray that day.
They've lost money. I mean, think about how much a cocktail at
an airport costs. Anyway, do you remember how much our bill was for
that. I think we like split a sandwich or something and maybe had a
couple of drinks or something, and that the bill is like five hundred dollars
or something. It's a lot of jack and coke or rum and coke.
I don't remember what it was. One of the big stories so far.
We'll dip into it a bit when we get into swamp Watch here at the
top of the hour is that Congressman Adam Schiff, who is running for Senate,
is now, I would say, the highest profile Democrat calling for President
Biden to drop out of the race. He sent an exclusive, he said
statement to the La Times and said that he has serious concerns about whether Biden
could beat Trump in November. Well, and that's the narrative that they're going
with now, not that Biden is too old or what have you, but
that a second Trump presidency, using his words, will undermine the very foundation
of our democracy, the fight for the democracy. Let's pick someone who can
beat Trump. The problem with that is who could ever beat Trump right now
with the momentum he has right now? And I know it's early, it's
July mid July. The Democrats haven't had their rallying party yet. But right
now, on after this attempted assassination, he is a train full speed ahead.
There's no one that's going to stop him unless it's, like I said,
like a Oprah or I don't even know if Michelle Obama could do it.
Maybe what's a celebrity. So they have some internal polling that actually says
that there are a couple of names that do poll better than Joe Biden but
not Trump but not yes, but not necessarily that they would win. They're
closer than Biden would be, but they're not more. In fact, we
can go through some of that when we get into Swampwatsch. I also wanted
to play for you. We mentioned it earlier, but we didn't get to
the audio. Lara Trump, who is a co chair of the Republican National
Committee now obviously the daughter in law of former President Trump, and her job
last night. The bridges that had been burned between Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley
and Trump, they were rebuilt, or at least there was an attempt at
rebuilding that in order to show unity within the party. But Laura Trump had
the job of trying to humanize this guy, and we'll play for you part
of what she said in terms of her big what she's doing, Well,
you're typing. I was gonna say that was aggressive typing. Oh no,
what would I be typing? I have no idea that could I possibly be
corresponding? Do go goog looking something up. I'm doing something important. You've
