WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.360 A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:10.039 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Swamp Watch starts in California today. 4 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:16.600 Swamp is horrible, government man, make us like a reality 5 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.239 TV show, A bad noos. 6 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.559 Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe, 7 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:24.600 he's a town. 8 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.079 Hall too, clearly built on a swamp and in so 9 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:28.160 many ways. 10 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:28.559 Still a swamp. 11 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.000 I have a watch of Malarkey. Boy said, drained the swamp. 12 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.880 I said, Oh, that's so he keep you know the thing. 13 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.920 From the New York Times, Governor Gavin Newsom ordered California 14 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:46.079 officials today to begin dismantling thousands of homeless encampments. This 15 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.359 is the response, the biggest response to a recent Supreme 16 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.920 Court ruling that gave governments greater authority to move these 17 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.159 homeless encampments from the streets. And then Sean Hubler, reporting 18 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.880 from Sacramento, writes in The New York Times, homeless encampments 19 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.599 have vexed California, where housing costs are among the nation's highest, 20 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:08.920 more than any other state. 21 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:10.120 Homeless those home. 22 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.959 Prices two different issues. 23 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:17.120 Home prices but it's home prices. It's not home prices, 24 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.959 it's drugs. So my lack of treating people. 25 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.239 Let me push back on this. 26 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.159 Yesterday when I was over here at the Burbank Nature 27 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.920 Park and there was a guy washing himself in the 28 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.439 in the tan bark out there bathing, it was warm. 29 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.799 He I said to him. 30 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.239 Sir, if only you could afford a down payment, and 31 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.959 he said, he said, pirates stole my pancakes. 32 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.000 And I thought, sir, I know exact. 33 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.599 I feel your pain because there's got to be something 34 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.560 more to it. Is there is there any program, any 35 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.439 state program, or anything that might might help you put 36 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.760 a down payment on a house. And he said, green screens, 37 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.680 slouder an orange. 38 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:05.319 I said, I get it. 39 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.000 Why are we leaning continuing, continuing to lean on that 40 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.599 narrative that it's home prices. 41 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:13.400 It makes no sense. 42 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.360 There is such a far divide between people who want 43 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.560 to get into a home and the people who are 44 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:23.439 screaming about pirates in the human bathing public tube. 45 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.560 And get ups. 46 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.719 I mean, this is a guy who clearly has some 47 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.159 amount of skill. It's just that no one's offering him 48 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.960 a job. He had three perfectly taxidermied squirrels hanging around 49 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.759 his neck, and I thought to myself, there's got to 50 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.800 be a market for that. So why can't this guy just, 51 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.520 you know, make just a decent living and get just 52 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.199 the tiniest leg up. 53 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.039 And then he pulled a leg out of his. 54 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.199 Bag, and I thought, well, there's your leg up, buddy. 55 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.039 That's all you need to get past this speed bump 56 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.199 at his home price is in California, if we. 57 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.879 Cared about that man in the park, we would put 58 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.560 him into a center and clean him up and detox 59 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.599 him and get him the medication that he. 60 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.719 Needs, give him a truth for him. 61 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:08.319 Quirrels. 62 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.479 Yes, ignoring him is the perfect examples. 63 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.759 Not exactly, it's. 64 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:19.080 Not compassion. 65 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.560 When the Ninth Circuit limited the ability of cities to 66 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.680 take down homeless encampments, because remember this was the case 67 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.639 out of a boise that suggested that were said, you 68 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:41.039 can't arrest somebody, you can't criminalize sidewalk sleeping unless they 69 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.039 or I should say, until you have shelter beds for 70 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.520 those people. Well, we have one hundred and eighty thousand 71 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:53.680 people in California rough estimate living on the streets. We 72 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.280 don't have one hundred and eighty thousand shelter beds. 73 00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.800 Sorry, I just had a visual of the guy pulling 74 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.719 a leg out of his bag, just like a severed leg, 75 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.919 and then the squirrels painted a very good picture. 76 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:10.800 Were you really in the nature park? 77 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.960 Well, he was sad. You know that park that's right 78 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.680 across the street. 79 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:13.919 There. 80 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.080 You were there yesterday? 81 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.560 Well, I drive by it every day. 82 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.399 Oh okay, twice you weren't in the park. 83 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.279 I would never set foot in that park. 84 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.800 There's not just weird after show walks you do in 85 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.319 nature that I don't know about. 86 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.120 Part of it is that I have to rewarm my 87 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.040 body like I'm a snake, and I have to get 88 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.720 out from the cold, and I have to sit in 89 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:33.360 the sun. 90 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.839 Yes, spread eagle like this. I have to splute in 91 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.120 the Burbank Nature Park just to warm up. 92 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.720 I spleute the whole way home without the air conditioning. 93 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.920 What do you mean, Well, just because it's. 94 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.439 So cold in here, I don't even turn the air 95 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.720 conditioning in my car on on the way home. 96 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.399 Oh yeah, I don't even I can just defrost and 97 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.160 it's one hundred and three by the time I get home. Yeah, 98 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.920 sitting in a car for twenty five minutes and then 99 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.240 it's one hundred and three inside the car. But then 100 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.079 that's when it starts to just barely feel warm again. 101 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.759 We got to get to we gotta get. 102 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.160 I decided the best way forward is the past, the 103 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.040 torch for a new generation. That's the best waiting anine 104 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.680 our nation. You know, there is a time and a 105 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.959 place for long years of experience in public life. So 106 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.120 there's also a time and a place for new voices, 107 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.680 fresh voices, yes, younger voices, and that time of. 108 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:31.600 Place is now. 109 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.120 That was President Biden in his speech last night from 110 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:35.879 the over Law Office. 111 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.519 Not one person is talking about him lasting till January. 112 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.160 After that. 113 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:42.680 Yes, he just had COVID. 114 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.879 I understand that. Yes, he's eighty one years old. I 115 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.480 understand that. Yes he has a stutter, and he grew 116 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.879 up with it and he still has it. I understand that. 117 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.959 But and I'm not saying Joe Biden's a bad guy. 118 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.839 I'm saying that that is not somebody fit to be 119 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.920 president of the United States till January. 120 00:05:59.079 --> 00:05:59.639 It's just not. 121 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.279 My eyes in my ears do not lie to me. 122 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.720 And no one's talking about that. If that was a 123 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.399 Republican president. The media would be all over it. 124 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.120 I just it strikes me that there is now still 125 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.319 coming from the White House this drum beat of there's 126 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.360 nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong. 127 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:25.680 You're making it up, there's nothing wrong. 128 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.800 I have nothing to do with his health. In his letter, 129 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.079 he talked about the country, he talked about the party, 130 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.680 he talked about the moment that we're in right now. 131 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.600 It is not about his health. I can say, no, 132 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.279 that's not the reason there's been no cover up. I 133 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.720 want to be very clear about that. 134 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:40.199 That was Karine. 135 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.240 John Pierre Rayne's previous was once there are NC chairman. 136 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.279 So I mean he's coming from the Republican side of 137 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.040 it also, But he says, where was any discussion in 138 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:50.480 that speech about his health? 139 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.560 Clearly this was a political decision, and it's very bizarre 140 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.160 to me that he didn't address the elephant in the room, 141 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.560 which is his health. And if he's not healthy to run, 142 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.759 is he healthy to be president. I'm not making an accusation. 143 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.800 I'm just saying he should have addressed that issue. 144 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.600 Republicans, they say, increasingly see Josh Sapiro, Pennsylvania governor, as 145 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.639 somebody who's going to make their lives more difficult. They 146 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.040 say that Josh Shapiro is the one that will offer 147 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.720 Kamala Harris a boost, make their efforts trickier, that he's 148 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.040 someone who could broaden her appeal with independent voters and 149 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.399 traditional Democrats who are drifting away from the party and 150 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.439 help win over that massive electoral boon that would be. 151 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:38.600 That would be. 152 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.240 Pennsylvania, I think at seventeen is it seventeen electoral. 153 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.680 Votes seventeen or nineteen nineteen. 154 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.759 The important point about that also is that that's a 155 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.680 geographic consideration, Pennsylvania being his state, that would be a 156 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.720 geographic consideration. One of the other names that has come up, 157 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.319 of course, and has in the last say tex twenty 158 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:02.279 four hours been at the top of the list was 159 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.000 Arizona's Senator Mark Kelly. 160 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.959 And we mentioned earlier the New. 161 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.720 York Post article that said that Obama didn't believe that 162 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.160 Kamala Harris could win and that's why he hasn't endorsed 163 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.680 her publicly, which was then countered by articles in CNN 164 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:21.560 and NBC that said he was imminent, that endorsement was imminent, 165 00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.680 But that New York Post, going back to it, the 166 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.600 New York Post article quotes friends of the Biden family 167 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:32.919 who said Obama's thinking was Mark Kelly would have been 168 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.559 the best option for Democrats, given his military service, given 169 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:42.600 his history, given his likability ratings and things like that, 170 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.480 more so than Kamala Harris. So anyway, that's neither here 171 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.559 nor there, because she's going to be the nominee. Former 172 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.120 President Trump did not like the speech last night that 173 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.879 Biden gaates it. 174 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.159 It was terrible. It was like a terrible speech and 175 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.600 terrible delivery. He looked like he was having problems. And 176 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.759 yet you watch the other networks and you would think 177 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.759 he was Ronald Reagan in his prime, Winston Churchill in 178 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:12.440 his prime. 179 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:17.200 Now that's this morning. Last night, former President Trump was 180 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:22.600 out campaigning for the first time since since Biden stepped down, 181 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.399 and he actually decided, were they the speech writers, let's 182 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.559 take shots of Kamala Harris. So this is just an 183 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.000 idea of what we know the campaign is going to 184 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.399 look like from the Trump side, I was. 185 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.600 Supposed to be nice. 186 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.120 If you don't mind, I'm not going to be nice. 187 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.200 Kamala Harris wants to be the president for savage criminals, 188 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:44.679 illegal aliens. She's committed crimes I'm the prosecutor and he's 189 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.799 the convicted fellow. 190 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.440 She couldn't pass a bar exam. 191 00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.480 She's totally against the Jewish people. She is a radical 192 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.960 left lunatic who will destroy our country. Kamala, you've done 193 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.840 a terrible job. You've been terrible at everything you've done. 194 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.080 You're ultra liberal, and we don't want you here. 195 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:02.639 We don't want you any where.
