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 --> 00:00:09.000 on the iHeartRadio app. That music is a sign that 4 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.679 Tony Sorrentino is on the board this morning. And in 5 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.759 Gary's chair is Leaila Mohammed. Laila, thank you for being here. 6 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:16.559 Good morning. 7 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.719 I have way more energy today. By the way, I 8 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.800 love Tony. We get stuck on the D list crew 9 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:23.960 sometimes on weekend mornings where there's no one here but 10 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.719 the two of us, and he's the best. 11 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.600 I love Tony too. He's been here for five thousand years. 12 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.559 I didn't know that about him. He told me that one. Yeah, 13 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.880 how many years has it been, Tony? He's like, so long, 14 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.240 I don't even want to talk to you. Put eight 15 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.200 since ninety seven? Why seven? Is that real? Yeah? The 16 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.280 first day on the board was Dave Princess Danda died. Wow, 17 00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.799 what a start, I know, right, my gosh, I'm. 18 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.600 Surprised they've kept you here that this long. Some people 19 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.439 will take pretty quickly. I'm surprised you haven't burned the building. 20 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.280 Down, I know, right, like I haven't planned what? 21 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:57.240 All? 22 00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.600 Right, Well, we've got tons to get to today. Of 23 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.880 course we'll start with the interview because I thought she 24 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.400 did a great job. I mean, I've been waiting for 25 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.359 this person to show up, Leila. I've gotten a lot 26 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.519 of heat over the years because I've been disappointed in 27 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.920 her appearances Kamala Harris of Courses, who were talking about 28 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.959 I've been disappointed in her off the cuff remarks. I've 29 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.239 heard bad things in terms of the coverage of her 30 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.599 being difficult to work with and the exodus of her staff, 31 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.599 and it's led me to believe that she is not 32 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.560 a likable person because of that, and last night I 33 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.719 think she hit it out of the park. 34 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.640 I got up this morning to fully watch the interview 35 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.040 because when it was on last night, I was unfortunately 36 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.519 in one of those evening classes that last past nine. 37 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.519 Won't talk about that, right, that's start, So I got 38 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.640 up early watched the whole thing. 39 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:47.400 I agree. 40 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.200 I think her composure, I think her ability to remain 41 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.079 clear and calm. She I love that she did not 42 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.040 address some foolishness. And the one thing that I love 43 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:58.719 that she did not address is the comment about whether 44 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.439 or not she's black that has been driving me crazy 45 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.480 for weeks. Now we can move on to something bigger 46 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:03.840 and better. 47 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.000 I love that she did not even touch it. Yeah, 48 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.759 we actually have that cut Tony is cut for. 49 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.319 I want to ask you about your opponent's Donald Trump. 50 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.319 I was a little bit surprised. People might be surprised 51 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.039 to hear that you have never interacted with him, met 52 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.000 him face to face. 53 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.360 That's going to change soon. 54 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.080 But what I want to ask you about is what 55 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.280 he said last month. He suggested that you happened to 56 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:33.560 turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core park 57 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.479 of your identity, any same old. 58 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.840 Tired playbook, next question, Please, that's it. That's it. I mean, 59 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.400 that was the way to do it. She's obviously a 60 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.960 black woman, and that's all she needs to do is 61 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.319 show up as a black woman. 62 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.599 In my opinion, well, at the end of the day, 63 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.280 we have to be honest about how we view people 64 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.280 in this country and around the world, because I feel 65 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.439 like in many cultures, not just America, many cultures, people 66 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.919 who look browner or darker skin are treated differently. 67 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.039 That's the bottom line. It is true. 68 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.080 People will tell you that in Hispanic culture, they'll tell 69 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.000 you that in Indian culture. At the end of the day, 70 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.960 when people see klm ly they see a black woman 71 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.840 before if we would have never told you that her 72 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.960 mother was Indian. You look at her and you see 73 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.080 that somewhere in the bloodline, somebody's black and it is 74 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.080 what it is. But for that to be a whole 75 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.360 campaign conversation, it's just ignorant. We have way more important 76 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.719 things to worry about. People can't afford to live in 77 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.080 their apartments, let alone by a house. You can't afford 78 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.960 to go to the gas station, the grocery store. There's 79 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.240 a lot going on. People are fighting for reproductive rights. 80 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.639 We have bigger issues than whether or not a candidate 81 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.479 is black. I don't know where, Honestly, I don't know 82 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.840 where Trump's family is from. I don't care to go 83 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.719 digging doesn't affect good lights. Who knows, I don't care. 84 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.000 I don't want to. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. Yeah, yeah, 85 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:45.759 I heard demeans. 86 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:46.319 She learned. 87 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.319 I think everyone learned from Hillary Clinton too, because Hillary 88 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.120 hit us over the head with the fact that she's 89 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.080 a woman, woman, woman, woman, and it drove me insane 90 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.479 how people would say, well, because you're a woman, you 91 00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.479 have to vote for her. It's like when Biden said 92 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.000 if if you don't vote for me, you wain't black? 93 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.319 Why why ignorant to right all of that? Like, I 94 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.599 just I get upset when people say, well, it's a woman, 95 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.520 you should vote for her because she's a woman, And 96 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.560 it's like, we don't all vote alike, we don't all 97 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:18.360 have the same ideas or policies or preferences. Just because 98 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.360 you're a woman doesn't mean you're that just like the 99 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.279 next woman. Just because you're a black person doesn't mean 100 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.399 you're like the next black person. So it bothers me 101 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.519 that that is a talking point as well. And I'm 102 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.000 glad that she put it to bed. And I think 103 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:30.000 she did put that to bed. 104 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.279 And Dana wasn't ready for that. I thought she was 105 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.480 ready for a longer answer because she had to shift 106 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.000 nervous in that moment, she had to shift quickly to 107 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:37.639 the next question. 108 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.240 I don't think she was. 109 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.720 I think she probably thought the vice president has been 110 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.839 a little bit longer addressing it. But why you know, 111 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.279 I'm sitting down with you. What was this a thirty 112 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:44.920 minute interview? 113 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.959 I was cringing a little bit. When she's like, and 114 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.879 that's it, I was like, yeah, I think that's it. 115 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.920 To your point she did talk about well, first of all, 116 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.079 before we get to the middle class. I thought it 117 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.920 was very clever of her that she made an issue 118 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.199 out of children. She said, I see you, JD. Vans, 119 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.800 and I raise you. You can talk about the childless 120 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.160 cat ladies, but I'm going to actually do something for 121 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.319 people that have children. Tony cutt one. 122 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.199 Prices in particular for groceries are still too high. The 123 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.759 American people know what I know it, which is why 124 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:21.800 my agenda includes what we need to do to bring 125 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.040 down the price of groceries, for example, dealing with an 126 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.600 issue like price gouging, what we need to do to 127 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.959 extend the child tax credit to help young families be 128 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.639 able to take care of their children in their most 129 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.199 formative years. What we need to do to bring down 130 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.480 the cost of housing. My proposal includes what would be 131 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.439 a tax credit of twenty five thousand dollars for first 132 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.879 time home buyers so they can just have enough to 133 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.560 put a down payment on a home, which is part 134 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.120 of the American dream and their aspiration, but do it 135 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.639 in a way that allows them to actually get on 136 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:57.399 the path to achieving that goal in that dream. 137 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.800 And that's what people care about. To your point, that's 138 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.079 what they care about. They care about grocery prices, they 139 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.519 care about being able to get into a home. And 140 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.199 she was very measured. She didn't appear to be condescending 141 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.839 or defensive in this interview the way that she's come off. 142 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:12.959 She came off that way with Lester Holt in twenty 143 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.800 twenty one when he pressed her on the border and 144 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.680 she just she had this look about her where she 145 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.639 was just kind of drilling into him with her eyes 146 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.079 like how dare you asked me this question? And it 147 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.079 came across on TV and she did not have that. 148 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.959 She was absent of that last night. 149 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.399 Do you find yourself because of what we do and 150 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.040 how you know, our job in interviewing people is also 151 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.319 we read boy language and eye contact and do you 152 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.319 find because we come from that perspective that we tend 153 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.040 to do that and we're watching. Yes, So it's like 154 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.439 with her, like you sit in the past, you may 155 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.480 have come off as condescending or you know whatever her 156 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.920 inner booth Lester Holt, I feel like maybe there's been 157 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.279 some work with her and her team. Oh yeah, but 158 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.079 the boot camp or yeah, there's some media coaching, some 159 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.680 boot camping happening. Where I noticed it the most in 160 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.120 watching was where she was talking about the nieces, the 161 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.839 bacon and all that stuff, and that shift to Biden. 162 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.600 It was like she was smiling. 163 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.680 Oh, I was in the kitchen making pancakes and the 164 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.160 maniece's wanted more bacon, and then Biden called and then 165 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.839 that tone shift and that softening. I was like, ooh, yeah, 166 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:14.800 someone's been studying. That was almost masterful. 167 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.680 We'll play that, Yes, we'll play that for you when 168 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.079 we come back. Also, why did CNN tease us with 169 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.519 word salads? She had like two word salad moments that 170 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.680 she's had in the past where she just says things 171 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.759 without saying anything, And there were a couple moments of that, 172 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.040 but that wasn't the takeaway. But those were the clips 173 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.600 that they released initially, So we'll talk about that as well. 174 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.079 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI 175 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.160 AM six forty. 176 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.839 Coming up in the next hour, we will get to 177 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.360 the story of the missing elderly couple from the Olive 178 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.480 Dell nudist ranch. This is near Redlands. They now say 179 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.439 that there has been an arrest in the case. A 180 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.800 neighbor of this couple Dan and Stephanie. They believe that 181 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.800 the bodies are in his home. They're going to bring 182 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.000 in canines and search crews today to go through his 183 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.800 home or compound or whatever. The fact that they believe 184 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.920 the bodies are in his home but not have not 185 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.879 found them yet leads me to believe that it's a 186 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.920 sprawling property. So we'll get the latest on that. Leila 187 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.439 Mohammed is in today and we were talking about Kamala 188 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.240 Harrison the interview and you said something, Leila before the break, 189 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.920 you said, do you think that we look for body 190 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.799 language and we're hyper focused to see how people are 191 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.720 coming off because of what we do. And I think 192 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.559 that the reason that I do that, especially when a 193 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.080 politician is being interviewed, is because we don't know who 194 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.399 these people are. Yeah, you never will fully know, No, 195 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.000 you don't. So you have to read the cues because 196 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.120 they're saying whatever is advantageous to them in their career, right, 197 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:53.320 or what they want you to think that they believe. 198 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.440 So you have to kind of pick up on those 199 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.559 nonverbal cues to get a sense of who they are. 200 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.879 You also, before the break that she talked about the 201 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.320 Biden phone call. This was the phone call when he 202 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.960 told Kamala Harris that he was leaving the ticket. 203 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.639 When he called you and said he was pulling out 204 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:12.799 of the race, what was that like And. 205 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.120 Did he offer to endorse you right away or did 206 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:15.720 you ask for it? 207 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.960 Was it was a Sunday, So here, I'll give you 208 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.080 a little too much information. 209 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:23.720 Go for it. 210 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.960 There's no such thing as a vice president. 211 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:32.320 My family was staying with us and including my baby nieces, 212 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.879 and we had just had pancakes and you know, Auntie, 213 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:39.879 can I have more bacon? 214 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.279 Yes, I'll make you more bacon. 215 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.799 And then we were gonna sit We were sitting down 216 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:49.639 to do a puzzle and the phone rang and it 217 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.440 was Joe Biden and he told me what he had 218 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.919 decided to do. And I asked him, are you sure? 219 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:04.879 And he said, yeah, yes, And that's how I learned 220 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:05.320 about it. 221 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.960 And what about the endorsement? Did you ask for it? 222 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.720 And he was very clear that he was gonna support men. 223 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.559 Again, this is all very much by design. Kamala Harris 224 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.200 did not get to where she is by not being 225 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.879 super focused and strategic when it comes to things that 226 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.879 she says, or things or her positions or. 227 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.320 What have you. 228 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.399 Yeah, She has had issues in the past with misstepping 229 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:32.440 and word salads, but the whole anti Can I have 230 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.200 more bacon? I mean Trump made a big thing out 231 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.440 of bacon at one of his rallies recently. You can't 232 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.559 even buy bacon, like he's ever shopped for bacon. That 233 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.919 was by design. She's sitting there going, look, look, I'm 234 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.279 a childless woman, but I'm an antie and I make 235 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.519 bacon and I buy and I do puzzles. My grandmother 236 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.960 still loves a good puzzle. I do too. 237 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:53.679 Yeah, it's been a long time. But when she said 238 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:55.480 that was like, I should probably play a puzzle. 239 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.759 Advertising, I was like, I should probably eat some more 240 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.240 bac But that was all by design, and it was 241 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.799 it was just very strategic. Yes, And the way that 242 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:11.799 she softened when she mentioned the Biden phone call also 243 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.440 by design. But I bought it. It worked. She also 244 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.960 is appealing to Republicans. When she talked about wanting a 245 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.639 Republican member of her cabinet, had a lot. 246 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.480 Of Republican speakers at the convention. Will you appoint the 247 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:25.679 Republican to your cabinet? 248 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.960 Yes, I would, no one in particular mine. I we 249 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.120 got sixty eight days to go with this election. So 250 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.480 I'm not putting the car before the horse, but I would. 251 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.240 I think I think it's really important. I have spent 252 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:45.720 my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it's important 253 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.480 to have people at the table and when some of 254 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:51.919 the most important decisions are being made that have different views, 255 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.639 different experiences. And I think it would be to the 256 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.519 benefit of the American public to have a member of 257 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.120 my cabinet who was a Republican. 258 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.480 Freshing. 259 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:04.200 Yeah, listen, if you're speaking about how you want to 260 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.440 bring people together and that we need to all be 261 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.200 on the same page for the betterment of our country. 262 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.360 You know, politicians always give this speech somewhere along the 263 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.000 way paraphrasing here, you got to put the action into play. 264 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.960 So if you believe that, then put a Republican in 265 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:17.559 the cabinet. 266 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.120 I don't think that we're going to hear Donald Trump 267 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.080 say that he'll put a Democrat in his cabinet. 268 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.879 That's just not going to happen. No, And I mean 269 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.600 that's what a lot of people have been talking about 270 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.559 with the Project twenty twenty five situation of the organizers 271 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.960 of that, the writers of that, and and Trump said, 272 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.639 I have have nothing to do with it, but there's 273 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.000 this shadow narrative that those are going to be his 274 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.320 cabinet members, the people that put forth that agenda. Some 275 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.159 of the conservative people are hitting hard on Tim Walls 276 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.399 this morning. Tim Walls, by the way, he looked like 277 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:52.080 Captain Phillips. What was he even doing there? I don't like, 278 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.440 he didn't even he topic seven words and he was 279 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.080 just sat there like a prisoner. 280 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.879 Maybe that was strategic to just just show them as 281 00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.879 a united front, you know, yeah, But it just feel 282 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.720 like sometimes he softens, maybe her in the areas that 283 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.519 people don't really feel like. Maybe she's relatable in certain points. 284 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.559 He's like the coach, the guy that we all know 285 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.000 that kind of like the coach next door. 286 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:09.519 I don't know. 287 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.080 This is just my take on it. Looking at it, 288 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.039 like maybe his whole point was just to show a 289 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.440 unit at front. He did not say much, but when 290 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.480 he spoke about family, we can tell deeply that he 291 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.240 loves his family and cares about his family. 292 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.200 I think was a misstep and he's getting a lot 293 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:27.519 of heat for it. Today. When he addressed the campaign 294 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.399 materials that was talking about video that talking about guns 295 00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.279 and keeping guns out of schools and so you know, 296 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.720 there's fewer school shootings and things like that. And he 297 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.720 said that the weapons of war, the weapons I carried, 298 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.559 should stay at war, and which he did not. He 299 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.720 did not carry weapons of war, and Dana Bash pushed 300 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.840 him on it. Cut seven, Tony. 301 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.519 I want to ask you a question about how you've 302 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.799 described your service in the National Guard. You said that 303 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.440 you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed 304 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:03.080 actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that 305 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.360 you misspoke, did you well? 306 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.039 First of all, I'm incredibly proud I've done twenty four 307 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.080 years of wearing the uniform of this country. Equally proud 308 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.320 of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's 309 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.480 Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but 310 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.399 I think people are coming to it to know me. 311 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.440 I speak like they do, I speak candidly, I wear 312 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.519 my emotions on my sleeves, and I speak especially passionately 313 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.799 about our children being shot in schools and around guns. 314 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.159 So I think people know me, they know who I am, 315 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.679 they know where my heart is. And again, my record 316 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.120 has been out there for over forty years to speak 317 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.039 for itself. 318 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.759 And the idea that you said that you were in war. 319 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.080 Did you miss speak? As the campaign has said. 320 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.080 I said we were talking about in this case, this 321 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.840 was after school shooting the ideas of carrying these weapons 322 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.440 of war and my wife the English could turn. My 323 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.320 grammar's not always correct. But again, if it's not this, 324 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.000 it's an attack on my children for showing love for me, 325 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.080 or it's an attack on my dog, I'm not going 326 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.559 to do that. And the one thing I'll never do 327 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.799 is I'll never demean another member's service in any way. 328 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.600 I never have, uh and I never will. 329 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.440 I thought that was kind of dodgy of him, and 330 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.960 then using the children and the dog and those I mean, 331 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.000 come on, well he redirected again, That's that's part of 332 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.840 the training. I just say, you screwed up. Just say 333 00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.519 I I I A said he misspoke, right, Yeah, that's 334 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.840 not grammar. Grammar is not factual, heirs. 335 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:26.200 Grammar is not that you are one per correct, and 336 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.519 he misspoke. He should have just owned that and kept 337 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:28.919 it moving. 338 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.279 Did he did? He serve? Yes? 339 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.200 And that's commendable, right it is. I mean, I'm you 340 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.320 know how I feel about the military. 341 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.240 I'm absolutely child. 342 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.559 My dad also served twenty four years, so he served. 343 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.519 It is what it is. He misspoke. He should own 344 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.919 up to that. We're also splitting hairs of whether or 345 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.240 not his wife had IVF or some other form of treatment. 346 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.879 Personally, I don't care. I don't. I don't. It's just 347 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.720 we have other bigger fish to frag Get the grocery 348 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.360 prices down. 349 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.320 Yeah, we have a We have a lot of everyday 350 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.240 things we need to worry about. 351 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.360 Coming up next, speaking of the military, Arlington Gate continues. Now, 352 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.519 we're hearing from a gold Star family that is not 353 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.919 pleased with Trump's outing there and the altercation from one 354 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.879 of the campaign's staff members and a cemetery employee. Will 355 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.279 get into that when we return. Gary and Channon will continue. 356 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.159 Leila is here and. 357 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.720 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 358 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.840 Am six forty. 359 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:19.240 Did you hear this horrible story out of New Jersey? 360 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:24.320 Oh my goodness. Columbus Blue Jackets hockey star Johnny Goodrow 361 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.399 was killed in a bicycle accident last night in New Jersey, 362 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:32.320 around his hometown.
