WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.759 I love podcasts. There's so many. I'm addicted to them. 5 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.599 I love them. I love the true crime ones, all 6 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.679 of them. I started with Serial five hundred years ago 7 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.079 and now I'm just like at the bottom of the basement. 8 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.519 I'll listen to the worst true crime podcast with like 9 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.719 the worst production and the worst interviews and the worst writing, 10 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.440 just because I'm that addicted. I had a couple of 11 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.960 long drives of the past couple weeks and I did 12 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.560 books on tape or you know, the new book on 13 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.840 audiobook or whatever, which is fine. I don't really find 14 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.280 myself as invested in a book when i'm listening to 15 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.960 it and I'm paying attention to driving as I do 16 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.159 if I'm just sitting down and reading a physical book. 17 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.359 But I do love the podcast, especially when you're driving. 18 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.960 It makes the time go by so quickly. And I 19 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.359 had to crack up when I read the news over 20 00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.280 the weekend about this person and I don't know the name, 21 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.920 but I don't to be rude, because like I said, 22 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.359 I do love podcasts. But this person who's purportedly doing 23 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.599 a podcast about LA and is just appalled and beside 24 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.359 himself that he called nine one one and it took 25 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:15.599 an hour for the. 26 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:16.480 Cops to respond. 27 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.719 It's funny because if you know LA at all, you 28 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.400 know that that has been the case for before I 29 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.640 moved here twenty years ago. That's been the case for 30 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.239 a very long time. If you want to look at 31 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.959 a nine to one one system that is overburdened, you 32 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.719 look at Los Angeles. A couple of years ago, I 33 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:40.079 was in Cincinnati for the Chargers and I accidentally called 34 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:43.159 nine one one a couple times from my phone. Listen. 35 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.599 I don't know what was happening. It was after a 36 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.400 long night, all right. I think I was just trying 37 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.159 to turn the phone off and I hit both of 38 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.519 the buttons what have you, and it called nine one one, 39 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.239 not once, not twice. Now, the thing about Cincinnati is 40 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.840 they will call you back. Like I did not know 41 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.000 this was a thing, But there are certain cities that, 42 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.480 because of lawsuits and liability, they will call you back 43 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.400 to make sure that you are okay. Because in Cincinnati's case, 44 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.479 it was a child a handful of years ago that 45 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.960 called nine to one to one. It wasn't taken seriously 46 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.719 and the child's parent ended up dead or something like that, 47 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.639 and so they will call you back. And it was 48 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.960 always so funny to me, like, Wow, that is such 49 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.599 a difference from Los Angeles, where you could say I'm 50 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.080 bleeding out, I've got six bullet hole wounds, a little bit. 51 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.439 Like, ah, can you come in and fill out a report? 52 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.080 I mean, they're just two text So it just cracked 53 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.439 me up over the weekend that somebody who purportedly does 54 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.960 a podcast about LA thinks it's news that LA takes 55 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.560 an hour to respond. 56 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:41.759 Speaking of Los Angeles. 57 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.919 The Oscars, last night, I sat down I got home 58 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.800 at like four twenty four, twenty five, upset that I 59 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.400 had missed the first part of the monologue, and then 60 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.759 watched about thirty five seconds of it and wasn't upset 61 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.080 any longer. And I just tried to watch this broadcast 62 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.759 for the first time and several years. 63 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:02.240 I'll show my age here. 64 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.520 I'm a Billy Crystal fan, Like I like the early 65 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.759 nineties Oscars when I was a child and I knew 66 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.520 nothing better that that feels like home to me, Billy Crystal. 67 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.319 I liked it when Goldie Han came out. All right, 68 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.479 That's where I'm at in life. But I was just 69 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.479 bored to tears with that Awards ceremony. I'm just sitting 70 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.680 there waiting for something to happen, be entertained. I don't need, 71 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.360 you know, Will Smith to hit Chris Rock, but anything, 72 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:29.680 any sort of pulse would have been good. 73 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.639 I was very disappointed in Conan's jokes. I was really 74 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.000 hoping for like a comedy stand up, something a. 75 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.199 Little bit yeah during a little edge. 76 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.560 Yes, I think I cracked up once during his monologue 77 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.240 and then just Crickets Night the time. 78 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.240 I mean, I like the songs and the dancing, but 79 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.080 I needed a little I think everyone needed a little, 80 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.639 like a little relaxation, especially everything that happened Friday in 81 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.520 the Oval office, and everyone just needed to relax and 82 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.520 have a good time singing and dancing. I'll get you 83 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.759 some way there, but just a little bit of an 84 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.639 edge would have been good. It's funny because I was 85 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.520 reading this interview with him in People magazine. Again that's 86 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.759 where I'm at, and it was tepid. The interview was tepid. 87 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.839 His answers were where he was trying too hard to 88 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.920 be funny, and it wasn't funny, and I'm like, ah, 89 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720 this does not portend well for what I'm about to 90 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.720 watch tonight. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt. 91 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.399 He's a likable person. I had some other gripes with 92 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.759 the Oscars, and we'll get all into it coming up 93 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.800 at the bottom of the hour as well. But I 94 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.319 need a crawl. I need a crawl that stays. I 95 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.279 need to know who you're showing me on the screen, 96 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.120 what they won for, and what movie they won for, 97 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.839 like the name, the category and the movie. The crawl 98 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.560 lasted about three seconds where it would flash who they're 99 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.079 gonna show you. They show the person in the stands 100 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.000 or what have you, in their seats, hugging their family 101 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.160 and friends, and you know, you should know all of 102 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.959 the people that are on your screen, and it's like, 103 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.920 is that the guy from now? 104 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:07.319 Is she? 105 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:07.680 No? 106 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:08.120 Is? 107 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480 Who is that? Is that? Selma Hi, Penelope Cruise? 108 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.040 I mean you know what I mean, Like you know 109 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:15.920 as you know who people are, you just need a 110 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.319 little assist. And too often, watching the Oscars, the crawl 111 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.439 asted three seconds, and then the hugging in the seats 112 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.639 and then the making the way to the stage and 113 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.439 the speech, and then they would show who it was 114 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:30.839 and they're like, oh, and they did this movie. 115 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:31.360 You know. 116 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.360 My husband was watching it. I was watching it, and 117 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.120 he'd say, Oh, what did they just win for? And 118 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.199 I'd say, I don't know. I wasn't really listening. And 119 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.399 then I would wait and wait, and they still want 120 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.959 to announce it. So that was driving me crazy. I 121 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.439 missed the snippets of for Best Actress, Best Actor Supporting, 122 00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.439 as well of just give me ten to twelve seconds 123 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.759 of a key moment of their performance in the. 124 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.560 Movie, just so I can get a little taste of 125 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:55.199 what they did. 126 00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.600 I missed that. I also missed the musical. For every 127 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.959 song that was nominated, they used to do a production 128 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.839 of each song kind of sprinkled throughout the broadcast, and 129 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.560 that was gone as well, And I miss that. I 130 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.040 just sound like an old man, now, right, I think 131 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.759 I do. I think I'm an old man. 132 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.079 No, a little bit. It dragged yesterday. I will say 133 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:18.600 that it did. 134 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.160 It wasn't entertaining. There wasn't any big highlights afterwards. Anora 135 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.120 winning was cool, yeah, but like nothing that stood out 136 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.439 from that. 137 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:27.839 Oscar. 138 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.040 I definitely thought that she should have won for a 139 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.079 variety of reasons. 140 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.279 The sex stuff she did. You got to give her 141 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.120 a trophy for that. 142 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.759 I think it's the first Best Actress winner who did 143 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.120 a strip tease to that degree and won. 144 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.600 So good for her. She was phenomenal. She really was. 145 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.920 I don't know about that movie, but it's not up 146 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.040 to me who cares. But anyway, Oscars are done. It 147 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.439 was fun. We will get into more of that coming up. 148 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.560 Like I mentioned, I did miss the Billy Crystal Meg 149 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.360 Ryan at the end though. One of my friends texted 150 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.639 me and she said I loved Billy Crystal and Meg 151 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:06.360 Ryan at the end, and I said, oh, I turned 152 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.360 it off before I got the Big Picture, the Best Picture, 153 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:09.399 because I was so bored with it. 154 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.439 Shannon, you missed the only good parts of the show, 155 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.720 the very open when Ariana Grande and Cynthia Rivo saying 156 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.319 I miss that, and the montage of La and then 157 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.959 at the end was Megan Billy. 158 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.879 Oh well, I luckily we have the thing called the 159 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.240 Internet so I can relive all that. 160 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:25.920 Oh good. 161 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.600 Yeah, but I did have that feeling when I walked in. 162 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.319 I was like, oh I missed the beginning, Like there's 163 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.959 no place for me to see this ever again anyway. Okay, 164 00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.000 so we'll get into that Ukraine and the fallout of 165 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.720 what happened in the Oval Office on Friday. 166 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.279 Like every good blowout fight, we all know this. 167 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.439 In the time, in the moment, you feel all these things, 168 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.240 you feel all these emotions, and then a couple days 169 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.279 go by where you're sitting in it and you're kind 170 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.879 of thinking about what went wrong, what your part was 171 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.560 in it, and your opinion kind of changes a little bit. 172 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.439 That's kind of what happened for me with this whole 173 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.079 blow up. We're also going to be talking to John 174 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.920 Decker next White House Press Corp. He can shed some 175 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:11.360 light on people and their reactions in Washington. There was 176 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:17.480 one quote about who was it. It was one of 177 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:22.600 the staunchest defenders of Donald Trump in Washington using the 178 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.720 F word, saying like he knows he fed up. So 179 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.560 we'll get to that as well. Gary and Shannon show 180 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:33.240 KF I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 181 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.360 Don't forget if you miss any of this, like I 182 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.200 missed the best parts of the oscars, you can follow 183 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.799 the podcast on the iHeartRadio app and you will get 184 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.799 it to your heart's desire. Whenever you want to listen, 185 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.679 you can well. As I mentioned, the fallout continues as 186 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.919 to what we witnessed to last Friday and the oval 187 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.039 office Ukrainian President Zelenski saying there will be diplomacy for 188 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.000 peace after he had a tense exchange of words with 189 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.679 Trump last week in the White House. And I'll get 190 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.039 to my thinking about how this all played out in 191 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.399 my inside my head. After the initial emotion and reaction 192 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.600 came in, some of the reaction on Capitol Hill has 193 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.840 been mixed. To Lindsay Graham among the mixed reactions, if 194 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.960 you ask him, he says that Zelenski should have behaved better. 195 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.159 But according to an anonymous source who spoke to Politico, 196 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.000 he said that even Lindsay Graham is talking about how 197 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.480 fed up Trump was. So John Decker is with the 198 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.120 White House Press Corps, joins us now from Washington, d C. 199 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.639 With more on the reaction and the fallout of what 200 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.240 happened on Friday. And John, I don't know about you, 201 00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.840 but is there any path to I guess friendship for 202 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.159 these two. Again, we know that President Trump is not 203 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.200 a guy who is very generous when it comes to 204 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.120 second chances. 205 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.240 Oh, I think he can patch things up. Keep in mind, 206 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.720 who's his Secretary of State eight It's Mark Arrubio. What 207 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.360 did he used to call Mark Arubio Little Marco? I mean, 208 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.240 he patches things up with people all the time. He 209 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.120 can get past this. I don't know how long it 210 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.919 will take to repair this fractured relationship, but I think 211 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.840 it can happen. And over the weekend, President Zelensky of 212 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.720 Ukraine indicated he wants to make that happen. He wants 213 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.039 to sign that Minerals deeal that was supposed to be 214 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:27.360 signed at the White House on Friday. So I don't 215 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.759 think you can go down the road and think. 216 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:30.720 All is lost. 217 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.480 Given President Trump's track record of patching things up with 218 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.559 people who have gotten into verbal fights with him in 219 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.679 the past, well. 220 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.360 You know, I base this on the Trump that we've 221 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.879 known for decades, where you know, he had We've heard 222 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.639 anecdotes of journalists writing him up in a way that 223 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:54.159 he doesn't like and him taking articles about them post 224 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.759 taste that may be not in the best light about 225 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.600 said journalists writing in sharpie I told you were trash 226 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.159 and mailing that to them twenty five years after the event. 227 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.279 Now that is an anecdote from about twenty five years ago. 228 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.200 And Marco Rubio you bring up and it was interesting 229 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.960 to me to see how I don't want to say 230 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.559 the word castrated, but Marco Rubio sat there and said nothing. 231 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.480 And that is the way you play with Donald Trump. 232 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.759 You play the game on his rules, on his field. 233 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.519 And I think Zelenski what we saw from him on 234 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.960 the first go around in twenty eighteen where he was 235 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:33.399 telling Trump, you know, we can take a page from 236 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.960 your book when it turns in terms of draining the swamp. 237 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.279 And he was very complimentary to Trump the first go around. 238 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.480 He did not play the game in this next round 239 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.120 there in the Oval office. I think that he invited 240 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.399 himself for this kind of match when he said things. 241 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.519 Like, well, you're very lucky. 242 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.360 You have a whole ocean that puts you away from 243 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.480 your your enemies. 244 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.240 Well, this is the difficult in terms of how to 245 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.240 approach a meeting with President Trump if you are a 246 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:06.159 world leader meeting with him in the White House. There 247 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:10.039 were three meetings that President Trump held last week. One 248 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.440 was with Kure Starmer, the UK Prime Minister, that took 249 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.360 place on Thursday, a day before this Lenski meeting, and 250 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.320 then at the very beginning of the week, President Trump 251 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.559 met with French President Emanuel Macron, who, by the way, 252 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.879 in the White House corrected President Trump when he suggested, 253 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.639 not just suggested, said that the European Union, all the 254 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.480 countries of the European Union, are going to be reimbursed 255 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.120 for all of the money that they've provided to Ukraine 256 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.360 in terms of military assistance over the course of the 257 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.440 past three years. That's incorrect, it's not true. And President 258 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.320 Macron corrected him, but in a respectful way. So he 259 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.440 understands how to deal with President Trump in that way. 260 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.039 They have a relationship that goes back all the way 261 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.879 to President Trump's first term. And I think the President 262 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.159 Zelensky is getting a better sense about how to deal 263 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:03.799 with this relationship with President Trump. And getting into a 264 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.879 shouting match with the President with the media president in 265 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.919 the Oval office not a good idea. You're not going 266 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.200 to win that day. You're not going to win that 267 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.879 particular battle. And I think that the next time they 268 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.399 meet it will be a different environment and there will 269 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.120 be a next time. 270 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.399 I have no doubt we're talking to John Decker thankful 271 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.360 for his time. Very bright mind there with the Washington 272 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.200 Press Corps and John. What do you make of the 273 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.799 narrative that this was a trap? I mean, if it 274 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.879 was a trap, and it certainly seems like it when 275 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.080 you think about President Trump's conversations with Putin, and it 276 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.039 seems like his stance with Putin. He loves winners, right, 277 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.519 He loves the guys who are the bullies on the playground. 278 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.480 That's just who he is. He likes the cream that 279 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.320 rises to the top. He sees that in some regard 280 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.639 with Putin. If he was setting this trap with Zelensky, 281 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.000 Zelensky had to know what he was walking into, right. 282 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.440 Is that why he kind of was more combative. 283 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.240 I can't get inside any of these people's heads that 284 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.080 you mentioned. I can't get inside Zelenski's head, or JD. 285 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.399 Vance's head, or President Trump's head. We saw it played 286 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.240 itself out just two days prior to this meeting. You 287 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.279 saw cabinet meeting in which the vice president was very 288 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.000 deferential to the president. He didn't even speak say a 289 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.840 word until forty five minutes into that cabinet meeting. In fact, 290 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.879 Elon Musk spoke more at that Cabinet meeting than did 291 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.559 the Vice President. In this particular instance, on Friday, the 292 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.519 Vice President spoke up, he got into a combative war 293 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.759 of words, so to speak, with President Zelenski. So it's 294 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:47.279 a different dynamic that you saw on Friday than on Wednesday. 295 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.039 And I can understand why people may say this was 296 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.639 a setup, given the fact that on Wednesday of the 297 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.039 same week, just two days prior to the Oval Office 298 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.039 meeting with President Zelenski, you had the Vice President who 299 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:03.000 was so different to President Trump, and that was not 300 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.120 the case on Friday during this Oval Office meeting. 301 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.559 And then looking forward, John, what do you expect to 302 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:14.120 be the relationship here? You think things are going to 303 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.159 calm down? You said, Do you think that there's hope 304 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.600 for a pass forward with Zelensky and Trump? What's the 305 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.399 timetable on the temperature returning to civil. 306 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.759 Well, I think that the timetable is such that there's 307 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.559 a war going on. It just hit its three year anniversary, 308 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.320 so things have to be patched up relatively quickly. In 309 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.080 the meantime, we saw that President Zelenski traveled across the 310 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.919 Atlantic to meet with the UK Prime Minister over the weekend, 311 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.960 also met with King Charles also spoke with other European leaders, 312 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:50.759 and it seems to me Europe immediately pivoted. How do 313 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.480 they pivot? They are trying to force their own Ukraine 314 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.559 peace plan, and of course consult with President Trump. But 315 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.720 I think that that they believe maybe that the only 316 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.399 pass forward if the relationship between the US and Ukraine, 317 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.320 between President Trump and President Zelensky cannot be repaired, there 318 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.360 needs to be a Plan B, and that is Plan B. 319 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:14.759 John Decker, appreciate your time as always, really do. I 320 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.240 know you're super busy, so thank you for spending this 321 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.799 time with us. All right, John Decker, Their White House 322 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:24.399 Press corps there in DC can shed some light on 323 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.120 what's going on there for US and the reaction, and 324 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.200 we'll get into more of it coming up in Swamp 325 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.000 Watch about Lindsay Graham's comments and about what Europe has planned. 326 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.879 Europe has given a great deal to Ukraine, and well 327 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.799 they have to right. They're much closer to Zelensky's point 328 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.159 than we are to the action to putin. So this 329 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.440 was an odd juxtaposition. Did you hear about this? The 330 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.879 CIA peeling back the curtain on some of its secrets. 331 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.120 They have an upcoming presentation. It's south By Southwest. The 332 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.639 Music Festival CIA plans to deliver a talk at this 333 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:04.319 year edition of south By Southwest and It's now Music 334 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.720 and Tech Conference in Austin. According to the CIA, the 335 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.720 presentation is called Mission Impossible. The SPI's Guide to Creative 336 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.720 Problem Solving will feature lessons about finding innovative solutions to 337 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:20.000 complex problems. It comes and during the first weekend of 338 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.559 the event. I guess that's where my confusion lies, is 339 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.480 that I did not know what had morphed from just 340 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.240 music to music and tech. Now apparently it's music and 341 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.599 tech experts and business leaders and entrepreneurs, something for everyone. 342 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.640 Did you feel the earthquake three point nine? I mean, 343 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.119 I guess that's notable even in Los Angeles. It's close 344 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.079 to a four. I feel like four is the cutoff, 345 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.519 so three point nine you can. I think you can 346 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.839 still talk about it happened. I saw a headline written 347 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:54.279 somewhere that wasn't Los Angeles. It said something like an 348 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.759 earthquake rattles all the after Oscars parties, And I'm thinking, 349 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.359 did it? Did it really rattle all the after Oscars parties? 350 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:07.839 I don't think anybody probably even noticed that we do 351 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.440 have a question for you today. This is something that 352 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.920 came up. I don't think it was last week or 353 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.079 the week before because I wasn't here the week before, 354 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.720 but maybe the week before that, and I don't remember 355 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.759 what we were discussing, but it came up about partners 356 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:27.799 doing chores and how that that is such an aphrodisiac 357 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.359 so to speak. I think Gary's wife even texted me like, 358 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.359 chur day is date night something to that effect, because 359 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.119 it's very helpful when you have somebody to it kind 360 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.279 of shoulders all the stuff around the house when it 361 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.720 comes to chores and stuff like that. Anyway, a study 362 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.559 came out today that said more than half of Americans 363 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.799 say they are turned on when their partner does chores. 364 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:55.240 So we were wondering, what do you think, Keana like, which. 365 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.880 Chore does it? 366 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:56.079 Like? 367 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.519 Is there a list of chores?
