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 --> 00:00:08.919 on the iHeartRadio and happen. You know, just there's some days, 4 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.640 like every day where I just feel the need. And 5 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.320 the opinion piece was the super Bowl, and I'm paraphrasing 6 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:22.960 the headline, super Bowl is proof that New Orleans can 7 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.679 show us how to come back from the wildfire, or 8 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:26.879 LA can come back. 9 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.000 Just like New Orleans came back. 10 00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:33.280 And I'm like, listen, I understand the devastation that has 11 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:36.079 happened with the LA wildfires. When you look at Altadena 12 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:40.679 and the Pacific Palisades, that ain't no Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane 13 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:47.640 Katrina with what fourteen hundred people killed that was That's 14 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.000 what they were comparing in this opinion piece was if 15 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.600 New Orleans can come back from Katrina, we can come 16 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:54.200 back from. 17 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:54.960 The fires in LA. 18 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.600 Like there there's no comparison between those two things. 19 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:00.880 Well, and you think about it. 20 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.359 You know, fourteen hundred people killed in Katrina, thirty killed 21 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.640 in the wildfires, all all devastation. Right, I'm not it's 22 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:13.319 not a competition, but you know, one hundred and seventy 23 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.200 billion dollars of damage from Katrina at fifty billion and 24 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.560 some of the highest priced homes you're talking about to 25 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.040 do account for that, But I mean there's just I 26 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.439 don't even need to break down the numbers. 27 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:25.319 There's no comparison. 28 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.400 Well and the I mean this is twenty years later. 29 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.239 I mean there's a certain aspect of yeah, I mean 30 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.840 after twenty years, yeah, you're gonna be recovered and there 31 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.760 will be that. We here in LA have to deal 32 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.159 with the pressure of World Cup, have to deal with 33 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.920 the pressure of oh, I don't know, the Olympics that 34 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.719 are coming up now. I'm not saying that we can't 35 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:46.319 do it. 36 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.159 But it's it's it's it's definitely a truncated amount of 37 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.879 time that we have to get ready for a large event. 38 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:55.920 But I think that they and I didn't read the 39 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.239 whole article because I thought the premise was ridiculous on 40 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.760 its face, so I just basically read that headline. But 41 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.280 I think that they weren't just talking about getting ready 42 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.879 for a big event. They're time out like the city 43 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.840 in general, which is different because Hurricane Katrina wiped out 44 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.159 the entire French Quarter, like their entire livelihood of New 45 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.039 Orleans was wiped out. This was not that La is 46 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.280 not comparable to New Orleans in any sort of way possible. 47 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.360 That is a good point. 48 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.439 I mean that as much as devastating as the fires. 49 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.560 Are, people aren't going to stop coming to La. 50 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.800 Well, and it's still I mean, percentage wise, it's a 51 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:40.400 tiny percentage of acreage, a tiny percentage of the number 52 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.080 of homes, and arguably a tiny percentage of the number 53 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.080 of people affected. That's not to say that we're not 54 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.080 all affected in some way, but those that were directly 55 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.639 impacted is a small number. 56 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.639 Katrina's killed generations of people, scores of people, wiped out 57 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.680 the heart of the city. Come on, why does it 58 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:02.560 say in the show run Down Louvila u via Okay? 59 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:02.919 Why? 60 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.039 Because that is Spanish for rain. 61 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.120 The rain's not here, you know, but it's til tomorrow. 62 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.520 It's been on the nine o'clock segment for the last 63 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.680 couple of weeks because it seems like we go a 64 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.840 couple of days without rain, and then we get some rain, 65 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.439 and then we get no rain. 66 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.520 In the Uvula? Is that right? Uvula? 67 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.039 Yes? 68 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.560 Isn't that the same name of the that's. 69 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.319 The thing that's hanging down in the back of your throat. 70 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.639 Why are they the same word? It's not, it's not. 71 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.439 It just sounds the same. U via u va is rain. 72 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.919 Is rain u va, U viola l l u v 73 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.800 I a right, u via u vah.

Yes, my wife and. 80 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.560 I had at the time still dating. We're at my 81 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.520 parents house for the very first time, I mean overnight, 82 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:07.879 spent the weekend and everything, and gathered around the kitchen 83 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.039 table first thing on Saturday morning, wearing sweats, a little 84 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:17.279 cup of coffee, just the old Saturday morning relaxed. My 85 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:22.120 wife lets out a yawn, and from across the table, 86 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.959 my dad says, I gets see your vulva. 87 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:29.800 It never gets old. 88 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.160 And I am sitting closest to him. 89 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.800 And could not figure out how to get out of that. 90 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.480 I said, Dad, I think you meant I think you 91 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:52.720 meant uvula. And he said, yeah, what did I say? 92 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.160 What did you say? 93 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.439 I didn't say anything. 94 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.279 I said, you did not say u vula. I didn't 95 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.160 want to repeat it. 96 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.600 And then what was your mom at the table too? 97 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.439 I don't know she's in she's in the kitchen. What 98 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.240 was your soon to be wife, Well, not soon enough, 99 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.079 since you drug your heels, But what was your girlfriend 100 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:11.439 at the time? 101 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:12.279 What was her reaction? 102 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.360 I vaguely remember her just freezing, but also giggling at 103 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.560 like in the moment, you can't, you. 104 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.279 Can't not because she thought, oh my gosh, did he right? 105 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.680 You gotta look down, like where what's going on? It's 106 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.439 happening down there. Oh, that's such a great story. 107 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.000 Fun and another I mean, there's so many reasons why 108 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.360 it's a great story. One of them is that uvula 109 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.040 is not a word to just throw out in breakfast conversation. 110 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.759 It's not not a lot of people. Even vulva certainly 111 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.319 not breakfast fodder. 112 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.480 But uvula is a word that most people. 113 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.639 Don't even know. It's not even most people's perview, So. 114 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.839 It's not like something that's just a common thing like oh, 115 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.319 I can see your tonsils, I can see your uvula. 116 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.639 I can see your vulva. 117 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.079 I would is so much preferred, he said, tonsils. It's 118 00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.800 hard to screw that. 119 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:00.600 One right. 120 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.160 Esophagus. 121 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.839 Really anything other than you vula slash vulva anyway? 122 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:16.480 Oh sorry, moving on? Uh so, maybe we should. 123 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.480 Just start writing rain at the top of the show 124 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.360 instead of what I considered to be I just think 125 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:21.879 it's funny. 126 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.000 It's been there for two weeks and you noticed it today. 127 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.160 I've seen it before, but I thought that we just 128 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.600 got busy and skipped over it. So and it was 129 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.720 a story that was new, like dear to your Heart, 130 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.680 So you kept putting it on there so that we'd 131 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.560 eventually get to it. 132 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.519 No, and I don't know, how do you spell uvula 133 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.279 is uvu la? 134 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.959 That looks right? Okay, yeah, a looks right. I'll just 135 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.160 continue to put hellos and chit chat. That's a great idea. 136 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.279 Let's not bring up volvas anymore. 137 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.000 Elon Musk, right, start guys. Elon Musk says he has 138 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.480 found good people in the federal government. And this is 139 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.399 one of those stories that people will ignore the pearl 140 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.879 clutchers or or the people that are just worried about 141 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.319 their jobs. And I understand that, but they are listening 142 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.839 to people in the federal government. They are identifying the 143 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.480 people that are doing a good job. And they're identifying 144 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.079 the people who know where the fat should be cut. 145 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.360 So that's good news. We'll get into it when we 146 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:20.800 come back. 147 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.360 Hey, Gary Shannon is pronounced to uvia. 148 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:29.120 That's what I said, u via yuvia, uvia. 149 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.399 What did you say?

That 157 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.759 thing was cooking for a while. You know why because 158 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.839 when it came out, guess how much it weighed? 159 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:56.360 Four hundred pounds. 160 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.360 Two hundred pounds. Oh, don't be ridiculous. 161 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.720 It was a female, but staff are giving the pair 162 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.600 time to bond before conducting a first checkup to confirm 163 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.759 its weight and sex.

How do you know that? 194 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:18.559 Because they're mammals? 195 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.360 Oh, all mammals have the thing. 196 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:24.720 I'm going to go I'm gonna go out on a 197 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.919 lem and say yes to stop doing that with your hands. Lakers, 198 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.240 Luka Donca got off to a good start with fourteen 199 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.080 points twenty four minutes on their way to a one 200 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.559 thirty two, one to thirteen win over the Jazz. So 201 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.200 the Lakers have now won six in six in a row. 202 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.480 That's the longest wind streak so far of the season. 203 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.279 Super Bowl average one hundred and twenty six million viewers 204 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:49.480 across all platforms. If that number holds, it will be 205 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.200 the second straight year that the Super Bowl has set 206 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.039 an all time viewing record in the United States. 207 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.519 So whoever says the Super. 208 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.200 Bowl is dying, I don't know who is saying that, 209 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.480 but two years in that they broke their own record. 210 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.440 Coming up in True Crime Tuesday, a thirteen year old 211 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:10.519 girl was walking along an empty road in rural Oregon. 212 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:15.240 She was kidnapped and her body was found shortly after. 213 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.080 Soon after, more teenagers started going missing. This is the 214 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.759 story of the Ghosts of Highway twenty and we will 215 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.639 bring it to you. 216 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.080 Coming up in the noon hour. 217 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.679 Carrion shedded, I love Body Part Tuesday. 218 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:29.559 Okay, we're not doing body there. 219 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.840 Carl sounded like Carl, Hey, Well, I was a body 220 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.919 part Tuesday, because. 221 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.320 We're talking about the uvlas and other parts. Elon Musk 222 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.360 says he's been impressed by some of the workers that 223 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.360 he's encountered in his quest to cut the federal government. 224 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.759 And this was one of my questions. Are they going 225 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.320 in and just cutting willy nilly or are they digging 226 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.000 into the different government agencies and finding out who does what? 227 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:56.440 Till I've made the reference before the office space reference, 228 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.320 do they bring in the bobs and have the conversations 229 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.600 of what is it you do here? And it seems 230 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.600 like they are having those conversations. Yes, it's probably terrifying 231 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.480 if you are for the federal government and you don't 232 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.240 know if your job is going to be cut and 233 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.600 what you're going to do, and it's terrifying, I would imagine. 234 00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:18.159 But it does seem like they are talking to rank 235 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.960 and file employees well. 236 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.799 And the painting of the picture where it's Elon Musk 237 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.879 and a bunch of computer nerds or go in and 238 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.759 just hit delete on everything is not true because the 239 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.879 Department of Government Efficiency, at least specifically when it comes 240 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.200 to the Department of Treasury, has gone in and sat 241 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.240 down with and asked questions of people who work in 242 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.759 the Department of the Treasury, who specifically know the inner 243 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.639 workings of how treasury works, how bills are paid, how 244 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.240 we do the business of the Department of Treasury, and 245 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.679 ask them where do you see the biggest problems? What 246 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.360 are you thinking are areas that can be tightened up 247 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.879 or cut or just fixed so that they're not a 248 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:03.080 waste of money. 249 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.159 I feel like no greater victory nor defeat is had 250 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.000 in the management level of any sort of office. You 251 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.399 have great managers, it's fantastic. You have bad managers, it's hell. 252 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.919 They found that in some cases that there were a 253 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.080 lot of these rank and file employees who knew what 254 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.000 to do, wanted to be more efficient, knew the way 255 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.799 things should go, but were prevented doing so by prior 256 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:33.840 bad middle management types, people that only like to cover 257 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.240 their own ass and not worry about how things would 258 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:37.840 work better. 259 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:38.240 Right. 260 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:44.200 Yeah, I'm again, I'm cautiously optimistic about whatever Elon Musk 261 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.919 is doing. I do say and I do advocate for 262 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.240 there being a bit more public accountability on this. I mean, 263 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.840 I know that he's busy, but I would like to 264 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.879 know more specifically the things that he is going for 265 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.720 right now, and there can be updates from the Department 266 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.480 of Government Efficiency every single day. Here's what we did today, 267 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.639 or here's what we're looking at today, or here's the 268 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:12.960 system that we think can be fixed, trimmed, spruced up, 269 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.639 whatever it is. 270 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.120 And there may be corporate like incentives for people that 271 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.360 have never experienced that in the government worker world. He wrote, 272 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.080 Musket did that we want to empower these people to 273 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.519 make the sensible decisions they've always wanted to make in 274 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.240 reduction of fraud and waste, and that would be massive, 275 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.159 but they've been stopped from doing this from those middle managers. 276 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.919 He said, we should reward those in government who do 277 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:42.639 the right thing. That might be something new instead of 278 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.879 just well they can't fire me, and I'm just going 279 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.799 to earn the same paycheck no matter what. That's just 280 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.120 such a dangerous way of going through life of just 281 00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.000 this guaranteed employment and don't make waves and don't go 282 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.639 above and beyond and just do the minimum and you're 283 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.480 not going to get fired and you're not going to 284 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.600 get more money. Who's going to strive in that kind 285 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.360 of environment. Who's gonna thrive? I guess I should say. 286 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.320 Yeah, you're not. I mean, but it becomes inertia. Inertia 287 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.399 becomes the issue there where you start doing it after 288 00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:17.440 a while and you realize, oh, there is very little 289 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.360 expectation of me. 290 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.759 I don't have to get the hell out. 291 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.240 I just have to do this thing, and I'm guaranteed 292 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.840 a certain amount of income slash lifestyle and. 293 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.759 Some of its personal pride that you know you've got 294 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.000 to have that you've got to. 295 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.879 Bring to a job like that. 296 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.279 And there are people like that who work with immense 297 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.639 amounts of personal pride and it doesn't matter that they 298 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.559 can't be fired and they'll make the same They'll still 299 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.200 want to knock it out of the park every day. 300 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.679 That's a good that's character. Yes, I mean, that's someone 301 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.919 with incredible character. K IF I am six forty live 302 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.279 everywhere on the iHeartRadio. 303 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.679 App speaking of old. 304 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.120 The fiftieth anniversary celebration of SNL is so big it's 305 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.919 not even on Saturday. It's gonna air Sunday. It's going 306 00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:59.840 to be three hours live SNL fifty The Inn of 307 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.519 Our Street celebration will assemble a dream team of stars 308 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.159 alumni like Tina Fey, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Steve Martin, 309 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.039 four of the surviving original cast members surviving. That sounds 310 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:16.399 so dire, like they were in a wreck. Musical guests 311 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.159 of Who's Who essentially Paul McCartney, Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus, 312 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.480 Sabrina Carpenter. This will be Sunday at eight pm Eastern 313 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.360 on NBC. 314 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.559 Did you ever watch that movie about Saturday Night? 315 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:29.960 I did not. 316 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:34.200 Well, I feel like my parents never watched it, so 317 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.600 I never watched it growing up in the eighties and nineties, 318 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.639 and then I kind of got into it periodically from 319 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.600 time to time, but I was never a regular watcher 320 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.399 of it, which I feel like is a I should 321 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.799 get into it because it was bad when I had 322 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.440 the when I had become old enough to have appreciation 323 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.559 for it and humor and things like that. It was 324 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.960 when it was going through its bad times, like it's 325 00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:59.159 not funny times. 326 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.639 Yeah, well, you know they've had waves. 327 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:02.440 Rod's been a roller. 328 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.039 This morning, there was a pretty bad crash wrong way 329 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.080 driver on the southbound lanes of the four H five 330 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.399 in Sherman Oaks heading into the Sumpalita Pass Line. Incident 331 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.960 reported just after four o'clock a wrong way driver spotted 332 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:21.240 going northbound in the southbound lanes on the side of 333 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.960 the freeway. At least one person was killed. There was 334 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.519 also a person killed in an airplane crash yesterday. This again, 335 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.320 this has nothing to do with FAA. It's not Trump's fault, 336 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.240 it's not There was a plane whose landing gear failed. 337 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.720 That plane happened to be owned by Vince Neil from 338 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.840 Motley Crue. According to the filing by the Wyoming Secretary 339 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.159 of State, he was not on board. It's believed that 340 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.720 the pilot of that plane was killed, and apparently Vince 341 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.080 Neil's girlfriend. 342 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:51.600 May have been on board. 343 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.399 But again, that was at a plane in Scottsdale. Accident 344 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:01.120 in Scottsdale. Well. President Trump is going to be hosting 345 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.119 King Abdullah the Second of Jordan at the White House today. 346 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.559 Obviously the topic of Gaza refugees will be at the 347 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.119 top of the list. If you remember, President Trump a 348 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.720 short time ago, just a couple of days ago, had said. 349 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.039 I think we should have hostages out by noon. As 350 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:16.519 far as. 351 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.519 I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by 352 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.759 Saturday at twelve o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time 353 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.119 I would say, cancel it and all bets are off 354 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.200 and let hell break out. 355 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.720 Okay, I just want to say he's not the one 356 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:39.400 who dictates policy for Israel, but the BBC just in 357 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.599 the last few minutes reported about Benjamin Nett Yahoo, the 358 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.759 Prime Minister of Israel, and his full statement on this, 359 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.000 He says, I just concluded an in depth four hour 360 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.599 discussion in the Political Security Cabinet. We expressed outrage at 361 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.640 the shocking situation of our three hostages who were released 362 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:59.039 last Saturday. Listen, They've been treated like hell for sixteen 363 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.200 months and then raided in front of a bunch of 364 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.039 Gaza militants. 365 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.400 He said. 366 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.400 We also welcomed President Trump's demand for the release of 367 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.920 our hostages by Saturday noon, and we will also we 368 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.799 all also welcome to the President's revolutionary vision for the 369 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.720 vision for the future of Gasa. 370 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:23.000 It's a very precarious situation, this alleged truce that is 371 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:28.400 in place, the ceasefire is set to elapse. This is 372 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.799 going to be in March unless Hamas and Israel negotiate 373 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.000 an extension.

He 375 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.599 says it's likely that they will reach a compromise before Saturday, 376 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.079 but this crisis is a prelude for that much bigger 377 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.640 crisis that is coming when the ceasefire is set to 378 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.000 elapse in early March. 379 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.920 Yeah, it ain't going to get that long. 380 00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.119 The statement from net Yahoo makes it very clear that 381 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.119 unless all of the remaining hostage I think there are 382 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.680 seventeen Israeli hostages still held in Gaza that they believe, 383 00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:14.200 and eight of those are already dead. And the statement 384 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:22.480 had said that if there is no hostage released, I'm 385 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.440 sorry if for some reason Gaza does Hamas does not 386 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:31.400 release the hostages from Gaza, that Israel will follow basically 387 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.480 what President Trump said, and all hell is going to 388 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.400 break loose. And already today we know that Israeli defense 389 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:42.720 forces have amassed inside and around Gaza, I mean currently ongoing, 390 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.759 and that the placement of those troops, he says, will 391 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.319 be complete within the next few hours, ready to go 392 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.359 in if necessary. 393 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.079 So this meeting is going to be a big deal 394 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.559 at the White House with the King of Jordan, because 395 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.319 prior to that, let hell all break loose, news breaking 396 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:05.960 as Trump saying that we should send the Palestinians away 397 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:11.039 from Gozen into places like Jordan. That is going to 398 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:16.440 be met with extreme resistance from King Abdullah. Now Trump 399 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:20.599 is doubling down, threatened, threatening to withhold aid to places 400 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:23.079 like Jordan if they don't go along with his plan. 401 00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:29.200
