WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.560 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k 2 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.200 IF I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show 3 00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:07.879 on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I thought that we 4 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.279 procured some office deodorant at some point. 5 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:14.240 We never did. 6 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.519 We never did because because it would not be It's 7 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.879 different than like a office sweatshirt something like that. We 8 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.120 could put a sweatshirt in there. If somebody gets cold, 9 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.760 there's a sweatshirt in there, no big deal. 10 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:27.920 But I can't. 11 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.600 I can't say we could share secret because it's strong 12 00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.640 enough for a man, yeah, but pH ballance for a woman. Right, 13 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.520 we could, It's probably not going to happen because on 14 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.640 the off chance that I have. 15 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:42.799 To use emergency with you, as long as you didn't 16 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.880 leave armpit hairs exactly what I was going to say, 17 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.799 Does it come off, Sure, but then you like pick 18 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.119 it out right like you don't just. 19 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:51.039 Leave it notice it. 20 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.799 I mean, if I if I don't want might be 21 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.600 sharing deodorant with somebody, then yes, I'd probably be a 22 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.840 little bit more careful with it. 23 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.320 But so this morning, I had a bright orange T 24 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.359 shirt on, and I have black pants on. Is through 25 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.400 and then I looked in the mirror and I go oh. 26 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.599 I was like, that will be hurtful. So I changed 27 00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.359 into a Dodger T shirt and then thought is this 28 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.719 more hurtful? And I had a real like weighing of 29 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.840 options based on your emotional stability line. Yeah I could care. 30 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.040 I could So I was wearing orange and black. You 31 00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.680 wouldn't think about how the giants are another failure, another 32 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.519 year of failure. 33 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.079 They've been spring training bound for the last month. No, 34 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.359 I'm not okay, Well, I was thinking of not hurting, 35 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.920 that's what That's what prompted you to forget your deodorant? 36 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.040 Right? Well, we all thank you? 37 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:44.079 What? 38 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:44.560 No? 39 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:46.799 All right? 40 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.599 So? Uh wait what we have big news? Oh? 41 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.640 Well, I mean we have campaign stuff. We'll talk about 42 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.760 the campaign stuff. The The Wall Street Journal is reporting 43 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.079 today that Elon Musk has been in regular contact with 44 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.519 Vladimir Putin not a shocker since late twenty twenty two. 45 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.879 It was a shakra for me, specifically because of the 46 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:16.840 starlink issue and Ukraine. The Wall Street Journal credits or 47 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.000 sources this story to several current former US, European and 48 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.199 Russian officials, and says that Elon and Vladimir have talked 49 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.960 on personal stuff, business stuff, geopolitical stuff. At one point, 50 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.280 Putin asked Elon Musk to not turn on the Starlink 51 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.360 satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese 52 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.800 leader Shei Jinping. Here's the issue, among other things, Elon Musk, 53 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.520 because of his work with SpaceX, does hold a security 54 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.879 clearance to whatever level. I don't know what it is, 55 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.159 but he does hold a security clearance, and he does 56 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.719 have access to certain classified materials that would probably benefit Russia. 57 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.919 Why is this guy talking to Vladimir Putin? They're similar? 58 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.520 I mean, all these guys are kind of in the 59 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.520 same click. I mean you saw it with like and 60 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.879 this is a poor example, but like Jeffrey Epstein right 61 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.960 in his universe power players talk. 62 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.159 They all do you know. 63 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:25.879 It doesn't mean that you're signing off on Putin's politics, 64 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.479 but they all are in the same click. Mark Cuban, 65 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.360 Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin. 66 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.360 And there is an aspect there's, you know, ten to 67 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.159 fifteen percent of me that's like, well, you always got 68 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.599 to take the meeting. You can't close the door completely 69 00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.319 on love or whatever could happen. Maybe Elon Musk is 70 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.560 the one who talks sense into Vladimir Putin or in 71 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:49.719 all honesty. 72 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.120 We never think of it the other way. 73 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.759 Maybe he's an agent of the United States government and 74 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.360 he's pulling secrets out of Vladimir Putin that Vladimir Putin 75 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:57.000 doesn't know he's. 76 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:57.400 Getting pulled out. 77 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.479 I don't think that's it. I think it's just about money. 78 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.759 These relationships are just about money and how can you 79 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:04.479 benefit me and how can I benefit you? And how 80 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.800 can we grow money together. That sounds awful, it is awful, 81 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.840 but that's the way the world works. 82 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:10.080 All right. 83 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.599 Two weeks, two weeks to the election, two weeks to go. 84 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.720 Is the groping story the October surprise? 85 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.680 Oh really, this guy who's had a series of stories 86 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.600 about him groping women is now being accused of groping women. 87 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.240 Yeah, I know, now this is come on. 88 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.759 Well, I'm just saying, you know, it's it's another reason 89 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.199 for the Democrats to say, and you're okay with this, 90 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.079 You're okay with a candidate who openly gropes women. 91 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.800 And that's the thing is, we will get accused of 92 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.680 saying stuff like that, even though yes, this is ridiculous. 93 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.480 There's nobody in their right mind who would ever think 94 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.560 this is okay or acceptable behavior for anyone to do, 95 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.120 no matter how powerful they are. 96 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.519 I was reading an article this morning in the Wall 97 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.920 Street Journal, and it is the crux of it was, 98 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.800 this isn't the end of the world. We've gone through 99 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.079 tough elections before. This country has gone through tough times before. 100 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.079 There's been mudslinging after candidates. 101 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.000 We've gotten through it. 102 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.759 It's always this tense and this uncomfortable leading up to 103 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.920 the election. Yes, one side is hurt after the election, 104 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.199 but we get back to normalcy. 105 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:21.720 And I would agree with that. 106 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.920 Yeah, in the seventies elections were nuts and the eighties contentious, 107 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.439 all of it. I remember all that tangentially, but we 108 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.959 have never been like this when it comes to our 109 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.600 nationwide emotional stability before. We are a softer people than 110 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.120 we were in the seventies and eighties. I think and 111 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:47.120 blame the cell phones, blame over diagnosing uncomfortability, what have you. 112 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.639 We are softer than we were. 113 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.560 I think two things to that end, and we'll come 114 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.800 back and talk more about both of them. But one 115 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.120 of them says sixty percent of Americans in this new 116 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.759 poll say they're meant health has been impacted by this 117 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.279 upcoming election sixty percent. Now that being said, there was 118 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:14.680 one voice of reason yesterday in this campaign that said, hey, 119 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.199 be careful, it's not worth it. This emotional toll, relationship toll, 120 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.160 none of it is worth it. 121 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.360 I'm not going to tell you who it is. 122 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.319 I'll just play the sound bite because some people might 123 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.759 recognize who it is, some people might not. But it's 124 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.560 to me, it was an incredible distillation of the Hey, guys, 125 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.160 at the end of the day, we all have to 126 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.199 be on the same team. 127 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:40.040 Right. 128 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.319 The last line of the article that I read this 129 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.120 morning said, use this time to make your own life better. 130 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.480 Yeah, there is a developing story out of Washington, d C. 131 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.160 This actually has a connection to LA kind of we 132 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:58.600 told you last or earlier this week about the decision 133 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.519 that the La Times went through regarding not endorsing a 134 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:06.920 candidate in the presidential election. The Washington Post just posted 135 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.079 on their opinion page that they will also not be 136 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.319 making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election 137 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.800 nor in any future presidential election. Interesting, they wrote, as 138 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.920 the editorial wrote board wrote back in nineteen sixty, the 139 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.079 Post has not endorsed either candidate in the presidential campaign. 140 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.519 That's in our tradition, accords with our action in five 141 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.800 of the last six elections. The unusual circumstances of the 142 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.120 fifty two election led us to make an exception when 143 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.560 we endorse General Eisenhower prior to the nominating conventions and 144 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.680 reiterated our endorsement throughout the campaign. And then it said, 145 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.519 also written in nineteen sixty, the election of nineteen sixty 146 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.360 is certainly as important as any held in this century. 147 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.399 That's sound familiar. 148 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.759 This newspaper is in no sense noncommittal about the challenges 149 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:54.720 that face the country. 150 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.360 As our readers will be aware, we. 151 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.360 Have attempted to make clear in editorials our conviction that 152 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.279 most of the time, one of the two candidates has 153 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.800 shown a deeper understanding of the issues and a larger 154 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.920 capacity for leadership. So Washington Post says they will not 155 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.600 endorse either candidate now or ever again. 156 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:14.959 When it comes to presidential elections. 157 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.759 The calling of Trump a fascist is nothing new. As well, 158 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.399 this is the most important election of our time. Ex 159 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:30.439 Republican is a fascist. It's all been said before. They 160 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.799 think we're special, we are not. This isn't our first rodeo. 161 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.600 It's amplified in a different way, perhaps because of the 162 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.960 way social media works and because of the where and 163 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.159 how we get our news. 164 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.120 It is I camplified. That's exactly right. 165 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.480 You're right, yeah, That's why it feels like it might 166 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.519 be because we're hit over the head with it whenever 167 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.519 we're scrolling through our phones, which we do. 168 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.120 All day long. 169 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.440 Campaign today goes through Texas. Interesting stop for Kamala Harris, 170 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.080 considering Texas is considered the key state when it comes 171 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.039 to immigration and border issues and she has suffered greatly 172 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.600 on that one. She is in Houston, she said she's 173 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.639 going to be talking about abortion, she will be taking 174 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.279 the stage with Beyonce. And the way that it's written, 175 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.159 I think it's pretty interesting in the New York Times 176 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.919 is she's trying to turn this into sort of a 177 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:21.039 trampoline so that whatever messages come out of this event 178 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.639 today get amplified in other battleground states. She's she's not 179 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.080 going to win Texas. It's not a battleground state, So 180 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.399 why use that backdrop? 181 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.039 Is it? 182 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.679 Is it a potential downfall for her to use that 183 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.320 state as a backdrop. 184 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:38.039 For that is kind of a message. 185 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:38.559 I don't think so. 186 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:44.799 I mean, Beyonce is from Texas, Texas. Everything is big. 187 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.879 This is a big event if you're rolling out Beyonce. 188 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.919 And Willie Nelson. 189 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.320 And although he's getting a pretty deep second billing, how 190 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.159 old is Willie in his nineties? 191 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.399 He's in his nineties. 192 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.120 Yeah, My Harris campaign spokesperson says the vice presid and 193 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.919 it will not be sitting down with Joe Rogan because 194 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.600 of some scheduling issues, but she will be sitting down 195 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.879 with another podcaster, Brene Brown, a University of Houston professor 196 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.840 and a vulnerability researcher. No, she has a podcast, No No, 197 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:24.240 of millions that skews heavily female tability experts researcher. Specifically, 198 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.360 Trump is in Austin. He will be taking the opportunity 199 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.720 to talk about border issues. 200 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.679 I am my man's armpits don't like that at all. 201 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.120 They're starting to burn. Yeah, he is going to be 202 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.320 sitting down with Joe Rogan. So I tease this and 203 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.039 I want to pay this off. One of the members 204 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:46.039 of the top four in terms of the candidates was 205 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.120 asked a question. He was actually doing a town hall 206 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.399 last night and was asked about political division and how 207 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.000 it is regardless of what happens on Tuesday, November fifth, 208 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.639 how do we make sure that we survive this politic division. 209 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.840 To me, the biggest threat to democracy is the rising 210 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.919 tide of censorship, the idea that we should be trying 211 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.759 to silence our fellow Americans rather than persuade them and 212 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:14.600 talk to them. That's always going to yes, that's always 213 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.399 going to lead to people being pissed off because they 214 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.080 don't like to be told what to think or what 215 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:18.440 to say. 216 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.679 They like to talk to one another. 217 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.200 And that's one thing that I'll always commit to, as 218 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.919 you know, your vice president for the next four years. 219 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.639 I'll always try to talk to people. 220 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.159 We'll go out there and we'll do events with people 221 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879 who disagree with us. We'll answer questions from people who 222 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.840 don't always see eye to eye. But I think if 223 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.000 we set the tone at the top, the leadership of 224 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.039 this country is all about communicating with one another. I 225 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.039 think that's how we start to heal the divide. But 226 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.200 we all have a role in it. And what a 227 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.200 final point I'll say about this, and you know, don't 228 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.320 get too personal all the time, but you know, one 229 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.440 of the things I've seen, especially from you know, some 230 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.840 of my my wife's friends and some of my friends 231 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.120 is that they disagree. 232 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.720 With us on politics. 233 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.320 Sometimes they'll get very personal about it. And if you're 234 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.200 discarding a lifelong friendship because somebody votes for the other team, 235 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.759 then you've made a terrible, terrible mistake and you should 236 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:12.840 do something different, like don't don't cast a side. Like 237 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.159 most of my family obviously is going to vote for 238 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.240 you know, Donald Trump and JD. Vance and if they 239 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.559 they're not, actually I need to. 240 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:18.960 Talk to him. 241 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.440 But but I've got friends who like me personally, acquaintances 242 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.960 who aren't necessarily going to. 243 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.519 Vote for me. That doesn't make them bad people. And 244 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:29.480 you can't. We can't. 245 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:31.679 This is my most important advice. Whether you vote for me, 246 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.320 whether you vote for for Donald Trump, whether you vote 247 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:38.960 for Kamala Harris, don't cast aside family members and lifelong friendships. 248 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.360 Politics is not worth it. And I think we follow 249 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.840 that principle Wihill of the divide in this country, thank you. 250 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.039 Politics is not worth it. It's not well done. 251 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:48.320 JD. 252 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.200 Vance, well done. 253 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.159 Well, he did say, if I'm your vice president for 254 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:57.200 the next you said something years ago that stuck with me. 255 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:58.080 It's very true. 256 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.159 Was this the time I talked about your being really ugly. 257 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.000 I'm trying to give you a compliment about a point 258 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:13.399 well made. It doesn't happen often, so enjoy it, you said, 259 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.200 I don't want to screw it up, and I will. 260 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.879 People don't listen to you if they think you don't like. 261 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.240 Them, right, I was repeating something else from someone else, 262 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:25.600 but yes, it wasn't original to me. 263 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.279 But yeah, it's very true. 264 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.000 And too often when you try to have a conversation 265 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.960 with someone about politics and it's not what they want 266 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.879 to hear or what have you, or it's not what 267 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.480 they like, they turn off their brains. They just head 268 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.960 in the sand, will not listen. We've got to keep 269 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.519 open lines of communication, have the hard conversations, be open to. 270 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.120 Something that maybe you think you're completely not open to. 271 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:51.279 Always take the meeting. 272 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:57.360 Take the meeting, don't shut the door on love. 273 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.720 We talked a little bit about the Washington Post announcing 274 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.000 today they will not be making an endorsement in this 275 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.320 presidential election, and that kind of follows on the heels 276 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.480 from the La Times not endorsing a candidate in the 277 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.399 presidential election and the fallout from that, and two more 278 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.039 editors have decided to resign from The La Times. Robert 279 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:22.000 Green and Karen Klein joined editorial page editor Mariel Garza 280 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:27.759 in resigning from the paper. Semaphore reported on Tuesday that 281 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.759 the owner of the Time, doctor Patrick Soon Shong, blocked 282 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.399 the paper's editorial board from endorsing a candidate midway through 283 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.720 their preparation to endorse, and allegedly they had already been 284 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.080 writing up what they said was going to be an 285 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:43.120 endorsement for Vice President Harris, but he put the kibosh 286 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.440 on it. 287 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:44.399 Well. 288 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.200 North Korea is sending soldiers, thousands of them, to Russia 289 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.919 for possibly the battle with Ukraine. This has raised serious 290 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:58.240 concern with US and our allies, a major escalation that 291 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:04.919 could deepen security risks for North Korea's neighbors, i e. China, 292 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.200 which has long been North Korea's main ally but whose 293 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.440 influence is being eroded by Kim Jong UN's growing relationship 294 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:13.639 with Vladimir Putin. 295 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.360 Ooh world War three vibes. 296 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.159 Why I don't quite understand what benefit there is to 297 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.840 countries like Russia and North Korea getting closer to World 298 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.480 War three they're going to lose. 299 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.840 That doesn't seem to me to be a question. 300 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.559 Why would they continue shared enemies, I guess, but I mean, 301 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.759 like you said, the idea that then, like girls in 302 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:47.440 middle school, shared enemies forged great bonds. North Korea is 303 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.559 running the risk of angering its big brother in China 304 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.399 by palling up to Vladimir Putin, and I don't quite 305 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.480 understand the benefit for them, other than maybe Va Putin 306 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.399 is just saying the right things to Kim Jong u, to. 307 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.000 Pat his ego. 308 00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:09.759 You're also ascribing some non craziness to Kim Jong un 309 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.320 when we know that that guy's bats. 310 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.919 There's also some discrepancy. 311 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.159 We've been saying that North Korea has been deploying soldiers 312 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.600 because that's kind of the common belief. Presidents Lenski of 313 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.679 Ukraine has said that that's happening. 314 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.000 But the Russian soldiers are saying, what the f do 315 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.360 we do. 316 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:27.440 With these guys? Right? 317 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.080 And by the way, this would never this would never 318 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.360 exist in the American military. You'd never be allowed to 319 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:39.919 call Korean soldiers Chinese soldiers. But in fact that's exactly 320 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.879 what the Russians are doing. They're using Chinese as a 321 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.559 slang to represent all Asians, and in this case, the 322 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:53.759 Ukrainian intelligence agencies have been intercepting Russian military communications where 323 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.639 they're walking around with their hands in the air, going, 324 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.759 what are we supposed to do with these guys? They 325 00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:59.559 don't know what they're doing. How are we supposed to 326 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.200 talk to them. 327 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.200 At one point, like you said, referring to them as 328 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.160 the efing Chinese. 329 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.160 One says he's standing there like his eyes out, like 330 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.880 f The soldier says he came here, and he says, 331 00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.279 what the f to do with them? Another one, The 332 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.279 only thing I don't understand is that there should be 333 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.359 three senior officers for thirty people. 334 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.359 Where do we get them? 335 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.519 We'll have to pull them out, says another another Russian serviceman. 336 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.759 I'm effing telling you. They say that a lot. 337 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.839 There are seventy seven Battalian commanders coming in tomorrow. There 338 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.079 are commanders, deputy commanders, and so on. There have been 339 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:36.119 Ukraine's military intelligence groups have said that they have seen 340 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.160 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region of Russia. Specifically, 341 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.440 there haven't gone into Ukraine yet, but as we heard 342 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:49.400 earlier in the week from Americans John Kirby, the spokesman 343 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.319 for the National Security Council and Secretary of Defense Lloyd 344 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.480 Austin that if those guys go on to Ukrainian territory, 345 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.359 they're fair game. 346 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:00.400 They're going to get shot, They're going to get guys. 347 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.240 I've always said that no one cares how much you 348 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.960 know until they know how much you care. That's not 349 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.480 an original thought. I'm not sure it came from, but 350 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.279 it does play out to help me to be a 351 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.960 good person. And honestly, I don't care about your politics. 352 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.960 I care about you, and I care about your health, 353 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.359 and I care about the health of our nation. 354 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.200 And that I wanted more. 355 00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.599 But how many people have that attitude? 356 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.799 Here's the thing, and I'm not doubting his sincerity, but 357 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.279 there are people who will say that I care more 358 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.079 about the country than I do the party or whatever, 359 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.079 and then they get into an argument with somebody and 360 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.599 cut off the relationship with them after something like that happens. 361 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.000 So Gary and Shannon will continue to show of love. 362 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.759 It's really a show of love. 363 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.720 If you want to if you want to end a 364 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.799 relationship because of the baseball rivalry or football. 365 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:05.640 I was talking to somebody this morning and he said 366 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.839 that his one of his good friends is a Chiefs fan, 367 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:12.720 and he said it's kind of affecting the friendship. He's 368 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.480 a Niner fan, and he said because his friend keeps 369 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.559 sending him memes and stuff, you know, last play of 370 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.759 the game type stuff. And he's like, I find myself 371 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.200 not talking to him as much because it's just annoying. 372 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.359 Yeah, you got to know where that line is. 373 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.559 Send that to your fellow chiefs friends. Don't send it 374 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.960 to the Niners friend. 375 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:37.680 Right. Yeah, it's not just politics. It's this weird delusion 376 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.880 that's kind of comical until it's embarrassing. 377 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.880 I lose sight of who we actually are. 378 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.359 Gary and Shannon kf I am six forty live everywhere 379 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.319 on the iHeartRadio. 380 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:50.559 At Petros is mad at us for what. 381 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.920 He's mad at us for taking any of Tim Kats's 382 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.799 time away. He just sent me a very terse text 383 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.440 no that says Tim is responsible for eight hours of 384 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.559 programming today. The subtext is stop bothering Tim Kates. 385 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.160 Well, we could say eight hours and fifteen minutes because 386 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.279 he's going to help us out here. 387 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.279 Yeah, got to bother at all, guys. 388 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:14.640 Thanks. 389 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.640 Tim Kates is the host of Dodger Talk and has 390 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.039 been hosting well three weeks now, three weeks of morning 391 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:23.200 shows on Kale and counting, Yeah, and counting, because we'll 392 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.519 see how we see how this World Series plays out. Tonight, 393 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.279 Game one of the World Series, the Dodgers play host 394 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:35.160 of the New York Yankees powerhouse teams. Arguably, I think 395 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.119 the biggest matchup that I've seen in my lifetime outside 396 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:42.599 of the nineteen eighty one matchup, because it is bike coastal, 397 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.839 It's the two largest teams from the either League. 398 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.160 It's Flarity. I'm worried about Flarity. Tim Kates. The last 399 00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:53.640 time we saw him, it was a complete unmitigated disaster. 400 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.599 Unmitigated because they left him in and it was batting practice, 401 00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.279
