Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. What a full show for a Monday,
Speaker 1: So much we're going to accomplish a day. There was
Speaker 1: all that fervor over this massive immigration sweep in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles with ice over the weekend, and even the LA
Speaker 1: Times will tell you the numbers don't show that it
Speaker 1: was a massive immigration sweep. It was much more targeted
Speaker 1: and smaller than the hair on fire people would like
Speaker 1: you to think.
Speaker 2: Ye, but what about all the schools that they raided?
Speaker 1: No, No, it did not happen.
Speaker 2: But what about all the churches that they went they
Speaker 2: went into.
Speaker 1: Nope, also not in the uh, not in the reporting.
Speaker 1: Very weird swamp watch in about an hour. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the Democrats are doing in terms of circling
Speaker 1: their wagons. I think that they're by and large ignoring
Speaker 1: a lot of what's going on with the new administration,
Speaker 1: which I think is really good for your self care.
Speaker 1: If you're a Democrat, if you're a strong progressive, I
Speaker 1: think that you probably don't want to pay attention to
Speaker 1: what's going on. But for Democrats as a whole. I
Speaker 1: don't know how helpful that is going to be considering
Speaker 1: the ground that Republicans are gaining. And I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about Trump Republicans specifically. There are a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are now having a little bit of buyer's remorse
Speaker 1: with his activity. Is lots of activity, shall we say,
Speaker 1: coming out of this administration in terms of executive orders
Speaker 1: and actions, right, And there are some people that, well,
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes a little bit, But there is
Speaker 1: a large amount of young people that are looking at
Speaker 1: what's going on with Elon Musk and the young techies
Speaker 1: that he is kind of raised up to the upper
Speaker 1: echelon of his government cutting efforts, and that's said to
Speaker 1: be a big youth magnet moving forward, and what that
Speaker 1: could mean for the Republican Party and for how Democrats
Speaker 1: respond to that moving forward. We have just experienced the
Speaker 1: worst natural disaster that our city has ever experienced. It
Speaker 1: would be wonderful to think that everything would be.
Speaker 3: Smooth every step of the way, but I don't believe
Speaker 3: that that is realistic.
Speaker 4: Man. It was an interesting three days. It started with
Speaker 4: Karen Vass's interview with Fox eleven, where she admitted leaving
Speaker 4: town was an absolute mistake, but then blamed the fire
Speaker 4: chief for not calling the mayor's office to suggest that
Speaker 4: the giant windstorm could potentially bring with it dangerous wildfires,
Speaker 4: despite the fact that we had been.
Speaker 2: Talking about it for a week.
Speaker 4: And then, of course, Friday, the announcement came down that
Speaker 4: Karen Bass fired Kristen Crowley as the chief of the
Speaker 4: La Fire Department. At the time, Chief Crowley was relatively
Speaker 4: quiet most of most of Friday, but by Saturday she'd
Speaker 4: put out a statement that said, as the fire chief,
Speaker 4: I based my actions and decisions on taking care of
Speaker 4: our firefighters so that they could take care of our communities.
Speaker 4: I'm extremely proud of the work, the sacrifice and dedication
Speaker 4: of our LAFD members, both sworn and civilian.
Speaker 2: No mention of the fact that she was fired in
Speaker 2: that statement. Bit of a mean girl's.
Speaker 1: Vibe going on with La County and the powers that
Speaker 1: be right now. As I mentioned, when Kristin came out,
Speaker 1: the fire chief Kristan Crowley, excuse me, I keep calling
Speaker 1: her Kristen. Kristin Crowley came out and said LA failed us,
Speaker 1: the leadership failed us. In the days after that fire.
Speaker 1: We didn't have what we needed, we didn't have the
Speaker 1: resources that we needed. LA City Hall cut our budget.
Speaker 1: We're screwed, and this is proof we're screwed. And now
Speaker 1: everyone's feeling the horror of this. When she came out
Speaker 1: and said that, and then we all thought she was
Speaker 1: going to get canned. And then Karen Bass came out
Speaker 1: and said, no, we had a very productive conversation. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. We all knew that
Speaker 1: that relationship had been soured. And then came the ensuing
Speaker 1: weeks when Karen Bass told all of her employees basically
Speaker 1: what Elon Musk told all the federal employees. Hey give
Speaker 1: me a list, give me a five point list of
Speaker 1: ways I can fire this woman. Essentially is what happened.
Speaker 1: I'm sure of it. Karen Bass was like, let's go
Speaker 1: through line by line and give me tangible reasons why
Speaker 1: I can fire this person who just sandbagged me on television.
Speaker 1: And they did, and they came up with the fact
Speaker 1: that Kristin Crowley is sent under her watch. I guess
Speaker 1: you could say, I don't know if she personally did this,
Speaker 1: but that a thousand firefighters on the morning that the
Speaker 1: Palisades fire broke out were sent home, essentially that there
Speaker 1: were a thousand firefighters at home that could have been
Speaker 1: working the lines. Is the assertion that Kristin Crowley refused
Speaker 1: to do an after action report. These are two things
Speaker 1: that people came up with. Oh and she also didn't
Speaker 1: do this. Okay, perfect, we've got an excuse to fire her.
Speaker 1: But it also should not be ignored the kerfuffle that
Speaker 1: has happened with Karen Bass and Lindsay Horrvath at the
Speaker 1: Supervisor's building, and that power strugs well Karen Bass as
Speaker 1: practiced is she is being a cutthroat politician, ascending all
Speaker 1: of the ranks in California on the state level and
Speaker 1: now locally there's a very new thing that's happening where
Speaker 1: people are rolling on her the way that we haven't
Speaker 1: really seen people roll on people that have titles like
Speaker 1: Mayor of Los Angeles in the past when it comes
Speaker 1: to Horvath and Kristin Krowley.
Speaker 4: Well, and the other thing that came out on Friday,
Speaker 4: right towards the end of the show after the news conference,
Speaker 4: the Monica Rodriguez had come out City council member increasingly
Speaker 4: critical of Mayor Bass and said, oh, hell no, are
Speaker 4: not quoting there necessarily, but hal no, she said she
Speaker 4: wants to get ten of the fifteen lax city council
Speaker 4: members on board to override the firing of the chief. Now,
Speaker 4: that's a pretty significant uphill climb. You know, two thirds
Speaker 4: of the board. You they wouldn't be able to agree
Speaker 4: on anything. But I mean, I can't remember in the
Speaker 4: twenty plars plus years that I've been in La where
Speaker 4: the city council has fought back, even if it's just
Speaker 4: an individual city council member has fought that, fought back
Speaker 4: that aggressively against the mayor.
Speaker 2: Well, it was never public.
Speaker 1: You know, when I was a reporter. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: when I was a reporter whatever, fifteen years ago. There
Speaker 1: was always consternation between city Hall and the County Board
Speaker 1: of Supervisors. You know, Jaroslavsky and via Gosa, what have you.
Speaker 1: There's always been that, but it's been behind closed doors.
Speaker 1: It's been behind the city council chambers that those questions
Speaker 1: were asked and answered. It wasn't so public as it
Speaker 1: is now. You knew that those were you have those
Speaker 1: power struggles, but isn't that what we're seeing kind of
Speaker 1: nationally as well? You know, we always go back to
Speaker 1: the note that you know, George H. W left for
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton and how you know, civil things were just
Speaker 1: a handful of years ago and now everyone's fighting and
Speaker 1: it's out in the open it and within party within
Speaker 1: party two. Assolutely excellent point. That is shocking. But local
Speaker 1: politics as always within party, isn't it like in a
Speaker 1: place like.
Speaker 4: La Well, yeah, just because it's so monoculture in terms
Speaker 4: of which party you belong to and how how you
Speaker 4: get into the into the upper echelons.
Speaker 1: Ben to Union Square on this trip or or for
Speaker 1: the past ten years, because it's a toilet now it's
Speaker 1: an actual toilet where people just go to treat the
Speaker 1: streets like their own personal toilets and the city. Instead
Speaker 1: of realizing that and saying, huh, we should do something
Speaker 1: about criminalizing the open air drug markets and the needle
Speaker 1: paloozas and the defecation in the streets. Instead of doing
Speaker 1: anything about that, their answer is to put up a giant,
Speaker 1: forty foot tall nude statue of a woman. Riddle me that,
Speaker 1: like I just want someone to explain to me, like
Speaker 1: I am here to listen. I am. I love to
Speaker 1: hear your ideology behind that and how it's going to
Speaker 1: fix things.
Speaker 4: The beautification of the city, one naked lady at a time.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna explain it to me how boobs can.
Speaker 2: Break everything better.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I'll see what I can do, but I'm not showing
Speaker 4: them to you. Gary and Shannon will continue seeing them.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Shannon. It's good to hear your boys back
Speaker 3: on the airwaves. There was a little, uh, it was
Speaker 3: a little lonely without you here.
Speaker 4: Hey, but we managed, grag struggled a little bit, but
Speaker 4: we try to keep them alive.
Speaker 3: And now that your bag an Airheart Radio. That's awesome.
Speaker 5: Hi Gary, Hi Shannon. I just wanted to say, welcome
Speaker 5: back Shannon. It's so nice to hear you on the
Speaker 5: air again. We've missed you greatly.
Speaker 1: Not that we don't love you, Gary, it's just.
Speaker 5: You two have such a good banter between each other
Speaker 5: that I missed it and I'm happy to hear you
Speaker 5: on air together again.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Also, please ignore Maggie in the background screaming about Louie.
Speaker 1: Sorry Maggie and Blue. I mean, I could just listen
Speaker 1: to that all day long instead of this crap.
Speaker 4: I love Union Square up in San Francisco, organizers, with
Speaker 4: the backing of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department,
Speaker 4: are hoping that they can install this for fifty foot
Speaker 4: tall statue of a nude woman called r Evolution and
Speaker 4: the embarked aero plaza across from the Ferry Building. They're
Speaker 4: going to have to get approval from the city's Arts Commission.
Speaker 4: The plan was originally to put it at Union Square,
Speaker 4: but they realized that there is a bunch of granite
Speaker 4: tiles that could crack at the base because of the
Speaker 4: size of this gal.
Speaker 1: There's a couple problems with this. I mean, put away
Speaker 1: all of the easy, low hanging fruit jokes about putting
Speaker 1: up a naked statue of a woman in a drug
Speaker 1: infested area.
Speaker 2: Just put that away.
Speaker 1: The ridiculous, isn't it. Put it away? She's rather sveltz.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the sure I'm looking for it. She's
Speaker 1: got a nice little waistline. She's too, she's too she
Speaker 1: looks like a model, really, and I don't think that's
Speaker 1: going to go over well in twenty twenty five, especially
Speaker 1: in a progressive, body conscious city. Like San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Apparently you a regular like it's a.
Speaker 1: Is that a twenty four inch waist? I mean, what
Speaker 1: are we dealing with here? That's not attainable. That's not
Speaker 1: a woman. That's not a real woman. That's somebody who
Speaker 1: Karen Carpenter. That's a struggle three an aarexia, your whole life.
Speaker 1: That's not real. Side, If you're gonna put up a
Speaker 1: naked woman, at least make her portion it to what
Speaker 1: real women.
Speaker 2: Look like like real women in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: San Francisco, I mean, come on, if you're gonna put well,
Speaker 1: I won't be offensive.
Speaker 2: Why stop now?
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's kind of interesting for saying it's
Speaker 1: an interesting move for San Francisco. The whole objectify you know,
Speaker 1: probably it's one of those take your power back women
Speaker 1: feminist things, But on its face, it looks like it's
Speaker 1: a very objectifying type statue of a woman who has
Speaker 1: a beautiful figure naked in a town square. For a
Speaker 1: number of reasons, why this just flies in the face
Speaker 1: of what San Francisco is. But I guess that's the.
Speaker 2: Paradox that is that city.
Speaker 4: I guess this. I still can't figure it out. If
Speaker 4: this is a sculpture that moves like. They bring it
Speaker 4: to different areas and part of the word, but they
Speaker 4: erect the statue there.
Speaker 2: They do call it.
Speaker 1: An installation, which to me means it's moved. It goes
Speaker 1: from city to city, because there's a bunch of different
Speaker 1: are moved.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 1: I mean you're more into the arts community.
Speaker 4: But I see it like there's a in Miami, there's
Speaker 4: one in Outed Burning Man.
Speaker 1: Those both make sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, So I assume this is a This is
Speaker 4: one piece that gets moved around different part the piece
Speaker 4: is part of a triptych of three similar sculptures. Oh
Speaker 4: that there is, one of which is in Vegas, the
Speaker 4: other in San Leandro. Of course, it has been displayed
Speaker 4: in Petaluma, last Vegas, and Miami Beach.
Speaker 1: I just want to cover her with sensible shoes and
Speaker 1: RII clothes and granola. I want to put a handful
Speaker 1: of granola in her and her stone fingers there.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's stone.
Speaker 1: I think it's uh and maybe a hat to protect
Speaker 1: herself from the sun that comes out once.
Speaker 4: Yes, she's she's gonna need some sunscreen if it gets
Speaker 4: too warm.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I did wear sunscreen over the weekend, by the way,
Speaker 2: Oh you did? Yeah? Good, Yeah, I know everybody's worried.
Speaker 4: I actually was going to take a picture and send
Speaker 4: it to Keana so that she could post it on
Speaker 4: our Instagram, just to you know what I pull off
Speaker 4: my back.
Speaker 1: You know what I found in my childhood bedroom. I
Speaker 1: found a Bible, like a real Bible that like you
Speaker 1: could It's like a church bible. It's huge.
Speaker 2: Could I feed it to my dog because he's got.
Speaker 1: A picture of Jesus on the front of it and everything.
Speaker 1: It's a huge bible. It's like it's I mean, the
Speaker 1: width of it is like six inches. It's like the
Speaker 1: legit bible that the priests use during a service.
Speaker 2: It's the real Bible.
Speaker 1: It's a huge bible.
Speaker 2: Had it been opened, there's.
Speaker 1: Even Encyclopedia dictionary at the end. It feels like it
Speaker 1: has never been opened, which it was my original point.
Speaker 1: Like I opened it, and I think it was the
Speaker 1: first time it's been open.
Speaker 2: You cracked their binding on it for the first time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'll take a picture of it to show you.
Speaker 1: It's very fancy, all right.
Speaker 2: As we get into swamp Watch.
Speaker 4: By the way, at the top of the hour, there
Speaker 4: were a couple I wanted to point something out. We'll
Speaker 4: do when we come back, a couple of people regarding
Speaker 4: the quick Elon Musk email that went out. There's a
Speaker 4: point of clarification I think we need to make, but
Speaker 4: we will talk about it as well.
Speaker 2: Coming up in swamp Watch, I.
Speaker 1: Took a picture of the massive Bible and said to Keana,
Speaker 1: it's right. It's on this shelf here right next to
Speaker 1: a replica of the state a Notre Dame stadium. There's
Speaker 1: a Bible and a replica of the Notre Dame stadium.
Speaker 4: That's very, very Catholic. You are really leaning into this thing,
Speaker 4: you bet Youah. People are upset that you gave away
Speaker 4: the twist in Conclave, by the way, Oh well.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I've just heard. Well I've heard
Speaker 1: this twist.
Speaker 4: Since it was before it even came out, and I
Speaker 4: I looked it up.
Speaker 2: It's not that the person is transsexual.
Speaker 1: Oh well, then I didn't give away anything.
Speaker 4: It's a it's uh, there's there's some confusing gender issues
Speaker 4: in there, but it's not true.
Speaker 1: What else is confusing as opposed to penis? No penis? Well,
Speaker 1: they're presenting as someone with a penis or presenting as
Speaker 1: someone without a penis.
Speaker 4: I don't want to say, but let's just say there's surprise,
Speaker 4: there's one of those penis.
Speaker 1: Surprise.
Speaker 2: Well, no, actually that the part.
Speaker 1: Was not surprise. Then how is it not involving a trans.
Speaker 4: Person because trans people make the transition.
Speaker 2: This person may have been born.
Speaker 1: With Oh no penis.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's not it. You're stuck in one lane.
Speaker 1: Just tell me yes or no when it comes to
Speaker 1: the penis. Yes, got it used.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna have to see the movie. That sounds exciting.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go pay twenty five dollars to find
Speaker 1: out what's going on with the penis.
Speaker 2: Hey, Gary and Channon, Channon, it's great to have you back. Love.
Speaker 2: When you're back, the show is just that much better. Anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this email, Yeah, I don't have a problem with
Speaker 4: the email itself.
Speaker 2: I have a problem with who it came from.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: If my boss asked me this question, fine, I'll respond.
Speaker 2: But some guy named Elon that I don't even freaking know. No,
Speaker 2: I'm not responding to that.
Speaker 3: I guess about why people don't want to respond to Elon.
Speaker 3: The email is the principle of the matter. They don't
Speaker 3: believe that he has any right to know.
Speaker 4: Well, to be clear, it does say please reply to
Speaker 4: the email with approximately five bullets of what you accomplished
Speaker 4: this week and c see your manager. So it's not
Speaker 4: like Elon Musk is going to go through two point
Speaker 4: three million emails from every federal employee and look at them.
Speaker 4: It also is supposed to go to your manager too,
Speaker 4: so that's if people care. For days, there have been
Speaker 4: rumors that there's going to be a big immigration enforcement
Speaker 4: sweep or sweeps throughout LA County and they.
Speaker 1: Were going to raid the churches for the children or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 4: So it turns out ICE has not yet said whether
Speaker 4: any special operations had taken place. They haven't arrested or
Speaker 4: released any arrest figures for the day. Representatives for FBI,
Speaker 4: LA County Sheriff LPD referred all their questions to ICE
Speaker 4: because those agencies are not in charge of whatever's going
Speaker 4: on with immigration and customs enforcement. So officers at Metro
Speaker 4: Detention Center down Town, LA, which is run by the
Speaker 4: Federal Bureau of Prisons, had been asked to prepare for
Speaker 4: an influx of new bookings from expected raids this weekend.
Speaker 4: Typically their staff to get new inmates only on weekdays.
Speaker 4: The handling weekend intakes actually requires ordering staff to come
Speaker 4: in on their off days, and.
Speaker 2: They were there.
Speaker 4: They did show up, but by mid afternoon, the immigration
Speaker 4: officials said they had dropped off fewer than a dozen
Speaker 4: people for processing. So some sources said that they were
Speaker 4: not getting the numbers that they want.
Speaker 1: So there's been no children corralled at the schools nor
Speaker 1: the churches. What do you argue that Los Angeles is
Speaker 1: the city most populated with people who are here illegally, who, well,
Speaker 1: just leave it at that.
Speaker 2: I don't know if.
Speaker 1: Well, probably Texas somewhere.
Speaker 4: Top five for sure, but La Chicago, New York, I mean,
Speaker 4: not just even compared to those places along the border.
Speaker 2: I don't know, San Antonio, I guess Tucson.
Speaker 1: My point is, if this administration was rounding up people
Speaker 1: who are just here illegally, not people being targeted specifically
Speaker 1: because they're here illegally and have committed heinous crimes, that
Speaker 1: we would be hearing about this. US working in news,
Speaker 1: US living in Los Angeles, we'd be hearing about this
Speaker 1: every second of every day. If that was the case.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, that's I think that's the same.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it's not, you know, but like, let's
Speaker 1: not start chaos and and you know, make people afraid
Speaker 1: to leave their homes when there's no reason.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 1: If there was, we would be talking about it. Nobody's
Speaker 1: hiding anything, but that's not what's going on. And I
Speaker 1: just think that that needs to get, you know, oxygen,
Speaker 1: so that people aren't living in fear. It's easy for
Speaker 1: me to say. I know it's easy for me to say,
Speaker 1: but I'm just I don't think it's doing anybody any favors.
Speaker 1: With the communities that are that we're talking about, to
Speaker 1: be fear mongering, well, it's just in the media. The
Speaker 1: boy in the media to put it on the nightly news.
Speaker 1: They're going into the schools and they're they're getting your children.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's doing anyone any favors.
Speaker 4: And I don't know any kid in LA Unified, despite
Speaker 4: the fact that they've all got their information cards about
Speaker 4: what to do and say and their rights as fourteen
Speaker 4: year olds, I don't think have we haven't heard anything
Speaker 4: about any kid from LA Unified being approached by any
Speaker 4: federal agent about their immigration status.
Speaker 2: No, all right, when.
Speaker 4: We come back, the best place to get Nikes should
Speaker 4: be the Nike outlet, not the train as it rolls
Speaker 4: through the Mohave Desert.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait to hear this story. And does
Speaker 1: anybody hear about mass branded shoes and not think of
Speaker 1: the cult mass murder?
Speaker 2: So what do you mean the guy.
Speaker 1: The people that all put on the Nike shoes?
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, the old Heaven's Gate.
Speaker 1: I can't get past that. Nike, can't get past that
Speaker 1: in my mind.
Speaker 2: In your mind? But you still own Nikes, don't you?
Speaker 1: I don't for this reason.
Speaker 4: Wow, it's good thing you let things go. Why thirty
Speaker 4: five years old?
Speaker 2: But ROBERTA. Flack has died the age of eighty.
Speaker 1: Big ups to Lauren Hill too for bringing this back
Speaker 1: into the nineties so that people could love this song.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm never really a big fan of remakes
Speaker 1: unless there's a whole generation of people that just would
Speaker 1: have never heard this song. Yeah, and that's definitely what
Speaker 1: happened with this one.
Speaker 4: That the first time I ever saw your fate, our
Speaker 4: first time ever I saw your face. Both of those
Speaker 4: songs in the seventies. She suffered a stroke about nine
Speaker 4: years ago. A couple of years out at als she collapsed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she diagnosed with Louke Garrick's disease in twenty two, which
Speaker 4: took her ability to sing. She won five Grammys in
Speaker 4: her career, including a Lifetime Achievement award back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into it coming up in swamp Watch.
Speaker 1: But here's your teas. The Trump administration is now backing
Speaker 1: off Elon Musk's weekend mandate that federal employees submit five
Speaker 1: things they accomplished in the last week. So we'll have
Speaker 1: all the details about how they're backpedaling that one and
Speaker 1: what that means, and what the new edict to federal
Speaker 1: organizations is.
Speaker 4: Sixty five thousand railroad cargo thefts last year of forty percent.
Speaker 4: It increased from the year before that, according to the
Speaker 4: Association of American Railroads. Typically classified at his burglaries because
Speaker 4: they don't often involve directly confronting any victims. They believe
Speaker 4: to cost the nation's largest rail companies more than one
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of new sneaker releases. This is
Speaker 1: a big thing I mean, like there's guys that are
Speaker 1: into watches, some guys that are into watches and sneakers.
Speaker 1: There are women that are into handbags and also sneakers sometimes,
Speaker 1: but this is like a whole lifestyle of the new
Speaker 1: Nike sneakers, and so it's understandable. I can't believe this
Speaker 1: is the first time we're hearing about trains being targeted
Speaker 1: for mass items when it comes to these shoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a weird it's not. It's not that weird.
Speaker 4: I mean, the idea of a train robbery probably goes
Speaker 4: back one hundred and forty years, but the way that
Speaker 4: they're doing it now, especially because trains themselves do not
Speaker 4: have the staff.
Speaker 2: That they used to one hundred years ago.
Speaker 4: You may have a couple of conductors, but you don't
Speaker 4: have a train wide that exists to keep an eye
Speaker 4: on all that stuff. So you've got these cargo containers
Speaker 4: basically that roll through in this case the Mohave Desert,
Speaker 4: just kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Somebody
Speaker 4: will go along, either they're tipped off to the contents
Speaker 4: of that container from somebody in the warehouse or somebody
Speaker 4: else in the shipping industry, or they just look for
Speaker 4: those containers with the biggest locks on them, because those
Speaker 4: are the ones that they know contain the most valuable
Speaker 4: products whatever it is, cut the lock, and then even
Speaker 4: while the train is still moving in some cases, they
Speaker 4: start unloading that stuff just by throwing it off to
Speaker 4: the side of the railroad tracks. And then whoever their
Speaker 4: comrades are, they roll up and just throw the boxes
Speaker 4: of shoes in this case, into the back of a
Speaker 4: box truck and take off.
Speaker 2: Okay, hot tip.
Speaker 1: If you want some of these shoes and you go
Speaker 1: to places like you know santi Alli, I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: you know a guy that will meet you in the
Speaker 1: valley and operate out of his trunk of his like
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four Volvo. But if you don't and you
Speaker 1: go to like santi Alli, you gotta go behind the
Speaker 1: stuff that's in the front. Like you go by the stalls,
Speaker 1: and there's the stuff that's in the front of the stalls.
Speaker 1: You got to find the shady looking guy that's like
Speaker 1: back like near the curtain and kind of make eye
Speaker 1: contact and initiate conversation with him, because all the good
Speaker 1: stuff is behind that curtain. They don't put the good
Speaker 1: the real stuff that's taken off the trains up front
Speaker 1: at Santi Ali because of the raids. You gotta go
Speaker 1: to the guy near the curtain at the back of
