Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: An event of the White House right now, President Trump
Speaker 2: is reversing the emission standards that were set by the
Speaker 2: state of California and is now speaking to a room
Speaker 2: full of people about all kinds of different forms of
Speaker 2: alternative energy. So we'll cover a little bit of that
Speaker 2: when he wraps up and we get into swamp Watch
Speaker 2: later on.
Speaker 1: When I first heard news of this plane crash from
Speaker 1: India to Britain to London, I thought, my mind immediately
Speaker 1: went to air traffic control? Is it air traffic control related?
Speaker 1: And then I saw the footage after I read that
Speaker 1: it was on takeoff and here is this Dreamliner never
Speaker 1: had a catastrophic crash or a crash at all, as
Speaker 1: I remember a Dreamliner coming out in twenty eleven for Boeing.
Speaker 1: It's taking off and then it descends and then the ballifier.
Speaker 2: This is an Air India jet caring about two hundred
Speaker 2: and forty two people, is what they've said. No survivors likely,
Speaker 2: there was a.
Speaker 3: British There is one survivor. You haven't heard this yet, well,
Speaker 3: I saw a headline.
Speaker 2: I saw a picture that they think that there was
Speaker 2: one guy who was able to walk away.
Speaker 1: We've interviewed him. So this is a British father seated
Speaker 1: in eleven A. Yeah, he walked away from the Air
Speaker 1: India disaster. Again to forty four on board. As the
Speaker 1: new estimate, they say he's forty years old. He did
Speaker 1: an interview from his hospital bed hours after this. The
Speaker 1: flane was headed to Gatwick and there is footage of
Speaker 1: him visible injuries, hobbling away from the scene of the crash.
Speaker 1: He sustained injuries to his chest, his eyes, his feet.
Speaker 1: Police found the passenger in eleven A jet comes down
Speaker 1: transferred him to a high hospital. He told local media this.
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud noise and
Speaker 1: then the plane crashed. It all happened so quickly. When
Speaker 1: I got up, there were bodies all around me. I
Speaker 1: was scared. I stood up and ran. There are pieces
Speaker 1: of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed a hold
Speaker 1: of me, put me in an ambulance and brought me
Speaker 1: to the hospital. This guy, one survivor of two forty four,
Speaker 1: lives in London with his wife and child. He was
Speaker 1: traveling home from seeing family in India when the plane crashed.
Speaker 2: Uh, At this point, all we have is that video
Speaker 2: that you mentioned where you can see the plane never
Speaker 2: really gaining altitude. Ken Christensen is a crash investigator and said,
Speaker 2: obviously it's going to take some time to figure out
Speaker 2: exactly what happened, but based on what he saw from
Speaker 2: that video.
Speaker 4: Something that I saw on one of the videos I
Speaker 4: was concerning was that the gear were down, but the
Speaker 4: flaps were not deployed. So when you take off, do
Speaker 4: you need flaps or additional lift and the plane will
Speaker 4: lift off the ground, but then shortly after that it
Speaker 4: will settle in if the flaps aren't configured. That because
Speaker 4: of a very modern airplane, the airplane would be talking
Speaker 4: to you and giving you warnings that your flaps were
Speaker 4: not configured. So I would have really imagined that a
Speaker 4: crew wouldn't depart with the flaps not configured.
Speaker 3: But maybe shortly after takeoff the.
Speaker 4: Flaps retracted, or the crews retracted to flaps prematurely, or
Speaker 4: there was a mechanical error. But it looks like whether
Speaker 4: the plane lot was losing power and or the flaps
Speaker 4: weren't deployed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, aviation experts have said so far that this Bowing
Speaker 1: seven eighty seven Dreamliner may have suddenly lost power at
Speaker 1: the most critical phase of the flight after takeoff. And
Speaker 1: one of my questions, as somebody who knows nothing about aviation,
Speaker 1: is when you think about a catastrophic crash like this,
Speaker 1: wiping out the whole plane and everybody on board save one,
Speaker 1: you think about it falling from thirty thousand feet. This
Speaker 1: looks to be at the at the level of elevation
Speaker 1: where I'm not too worried if I'm on a plane
Speaker 1: that I think if something goes wrong on takeoff, well
Speaker 1: you just kind of glide Down's that's what I have
Speaker 1: in my head when I'm thinking about the parts of
Speaker 1: the flight that terrify me the most because I have
Speaker 1: no control over the massive tin tube flying in the sky.
Speaker 2: The only problem, obviously is they don't They're not lined
Speaker 2: up with a runway or anything. They're not, you know,
Speaker 2: right crashed into what I believe has been described as
Speaker 2: a medical college campus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there was a number of I believe the
Speaker 1: death toll that I read most recently was two ninety
Speaker 1: so two forty four on board, which leaves a number
Speaker 1: of casualties there. So I'm looking at the configuration of
Speaker 1: the Dreamliner eleven A. So you have in the Dreamliner,
Speaker 1: you've got obviously the cockpit working from forward to back.
Speaker 1: Then you've got the bathrooms, and you've got the area
Speaker 1: where the flight attendants get the coffee or what have
Speaker 1: you read galley, and then you've you've got the first
Speaker 1: class seats there you've got three rows, so this is
Speaker 1: a two two two configuration, So two seats in the window,
Speaker 1: two seats in the center column, and two seats on
Speaker 1: the other side of the window. So two two two,
Speaker 1: and you've got three rows of that for first class
Speaker 1: or business class, what have you, whatever it is. And
Speaker 1: then it's a as you move into the back of
Speaker 1: the plane after first class, there's another area where you've
Speaker 1: got the galley for the flight gendants and then the
Speaker 1: rest of the plane, and that's a three three three
Speaker 1: configuration from rows eleven on down. He was the window
Speaker 1: seat of the first row of what would be economy,
Speaker 1: so right after first class and then the galley, he's
Speaker 1: in that window seat on the left side of the plane.
Speaker 3: Eleven A. If you're curious, if that turns out to
Speaker 3: be real. That's incredible. What do you mean of what
Speaker 3: turns out to me?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean just that it seems unbelievable that a person,
Speaker 2: that one person would be able to survive that crash.
Speaker 2: And I'm not just survive it, but able to walk
Speaker 2: away from walk away, run away from the crash site.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really incredible. It's you can't explain it, can you.
Speaker 2: Well, if if the Indian government or any sort of
Speaker 2: transport ministry or anything has more information, we will bring
Speaker 2: it to you. The vast majority of the people on
Speaker 2: board the plane where Indian nationals. There were at least
Speaker 2: fifty British nationals, a Canadian, a handful of Portuguese nationals
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: One of the local aviation experts there in India looked
Speaker 1: at the footage that's been circulating and he says that
Speaker 1: it looked like a case of a multiple bird hit
Speaker 1: wherein both the engines lost power. He said, the takeoff
Speaker 1: was perfect, and I just believe short of taking the
Speaker 1: gear up, the aircraft started descending, which can happen only
Speaker 1: in the case of the engine loses power the aircraft
Speaker 1: stops developing lift. This was only eleven year old plane,
Speaker 1: so unlikely to have underlying technical.
Speaker 2: Issues, and like you said at the beginning, the first
Speaker 2: time a seven eighty seven, the first time a Dreamliner
Speaker 2: has ever been involved in an incident like this, Right,
Speaker 2: all right, we come back to yet another day of protests,
Speaker 2: several arrests last night, of course, after curfew in downtown LA.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about these ice enforcement operations that are taking
Speaker 2: place throughout La County.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: The President just is currently signing this bill that would
Speaker 2: basically kill the EV mandate here in the state of California,
Speaker 2: who says passed by the Senate, had to go through
Speaker 2: that process, but he is signing that, and he says
Speaker 2: he's going to restore the auto and truck industry in
Speaker 2: the United States back to its glory.
Speaker 3: Big deal today, and.
Speaker 2: We'll explain a lot more, kind of a deep dive
Speaker 2: at ten o'clock about the court case that's going to
Speaker 2: be taking place between California and the administration over the
Speaker 2: President's deployment of troops in LA. After the demonstrators again
Speaker 2: took to the streets last night, not just here but
Speaker 2: in other cities as well. Seven hundred marines are expected
Speaker 2: to be on the streets of LA either by today
Speaker 2: or tomorrow. They haven't gotten specific to support the National
Speaker 2: Guard troops that are already here protecting federal property and
Speaker 2: federal agents. There is a hearing going on in Congress today.
Speaker 2: This was planned long before the events of the last
Speaker 2: week or so. Republicans on the House Oversight and Government
Speaker 2: Reform Committee are asking questions of governors of declared sanctuary states.
Speaker 2: Governors Tim Walls of Minnesota, Kathy Hochel of New York,
Speaker 2: and JB. Pritzker of Illinois over their staff that is
Speaker 2: as sanctuary states for people. I mentioned the protests in
Speaker 2: other cities. Eight NYPD vehicles attacked in an arson attack
Speaker 2: very early this morning. I think eight of those vehicles,
Speaker 2: six of them marked to unmarked, but nobody was hurt.
Speaker 1: Dreamlinerer, a Boeing seven eighty seven, which is used all
Speaker 1: the time in this country, has crashed for the first
Speaker 1: time since it rolled out in twenty eleven. Air India
Speaker 1: passenger plane bound for London. More than two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty people on board, crashed into a medical college. People
Speaker 1: on the grounds to say that there are still bodies
Speaker 1: in the debris. This is, of course, one of India's
Speaker 1: worst airline disasters in decades, and miraculously, at least one
Speaker 1: person reportedly survived the crash. Speaking from his hospital bed,
Speaker 1: this guy, forty years old, married father of at least
Speaker 1: one saying that he was in seat eleven a, that
Speaker 1: he heard a loud bang thirty second in when he
Speaker 1: came to just bodies everywhere, and he took off running,
Speaker 1: obviously still in shock. Someone grabbed him, put in an
Speaker 1: ambulance and he is at the hospital there. But again,
Speaker 1: the death toll will rise with the number of people
Speaker 1: in that medical college still uncertain the medical college that
Speaker 1: the plane crashed into. It looks like a lost power
Speaker 1: on takeoff for whatever reason. So we'll stay on top
Speaker 1: of all the information coming out of that story.
Speaker 2: Well, the immigration enforcement actions continue in Los Angeles and
Speaker 2: around southern California over the.
Speaker 3: Last couple of days.
Speaker 1: So I asked yesterday if you know of any specific
Speaker 1: instances of somebody being rounded up by ice, and I'm
Speaker 1: talking about somebody who's not a criminal illegal alien the
Speaker 1: way that was described in the original warrant in the
Speaker 1: garment district in Los Angeles, a business that had been
Speaker 1: looking for mass money looking it looked at, i should say,
Speaker 1: for racketeering, trafficking, money laundering. A vast criminal enterprise is
Speaker 1: what the.
Speaker 3: Inception of this was. Really.
Speaker 1: That's how it all started on Friday, was this raid
Speaker 1: at this business in downtown LA in the garment district
Speaker 1: where federal law enforcement did have credible evidence that this
Speaker 1: was a business where there was a rampant criminal enterprise
Speaker 1: operating out of There have been reports that have spread
Speaker 1: fears and rumors on all the apps that alert people
Speaker 1: to ices whereabouts, and that was detailed in La Times
Speaker 1: article that was printed this morning. And the fears and
Speaker 1: the rumor mill is terrifying. And I understand that, and
Speaker 1: I know it's very easy for me to say, but
Speaker 1: it's just rumors and fears at this point. But that's
Speaker 1: exactly what the La Times laid out. There was no
Speaker 1: in that entire article. There was one instance of a
Speaker 1: fourth grader in Torrance whose parents were arrested for criminal activity,
Speaker 1: or at least father was arrested for criminal activity, and
Speaker 1: that kid was taken out of class because that's what
Speaker 1: you do when a child's parent is arrested and there's
Speaker 1: no other parental person on the forums to come get
Speaker 1: you right, And.
Speaker 2: That's the responsibility of a reporter who's putting a story
Speaker 2: like that together, especially when it comes to the point
Speaker 2: of the article is rumors can spread a lot faster
Speaker 2: than the truth can. And then tell that story, which
Speaker 2: is just that a fourth grader was transferred to an
Speaker 2: immigration facility in Texas. Federal officials have since deported the
Speaker 2: nine year old and his father to Honduras. Okay, But
Speaker 2: what they don't explain, and the question I would have
Speaker 2: is if this nine year old exists in the United
Speaker 2: States and is a citizen of the United I'm assuming,
Speaker 2: just assuming some of the details here, the nine year
Speaker 2: old is a citizen because they were born here. My
Speaker 2: postulate the father then has the option of allowing the
Speaker 2: kid to stay in the United States with family members.
Speaker 2: That's the way that the policies have been laid out before.
Speaker 2: There were stories a couple of weeks ago similar to this,
Speaker 2: a kid of the same age was deported to Honduras
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. And when you drill down on
Speaker 2: some of the details and the actual policies that are followed,
Speaker 2: it's because mom was the one who had several warrants
Speaker 2: for her arrest here in the United States outside of
Speaker 2: the fact that she was here illegally and chose to
Speaker 2: take her kid with her when she's deported back to Honduras. Now,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's great. I'm not saying that's good
Speaker 2: or a good policy or anything. I'm just saying we
Speaker 2: have to be able to have those full throated, completely
Speaker 2: truthful discussions about what's actually happening before we can even
Speaker 2: begin to try to tear down the rumor mill that
Speaker 2: exists out there.
Speaker 1: I like to believe that we deal in facts on
Speaker 1: this show. Sure, I like to believe that when COVID happened,
Speaker 1: we dealt in facts. There are fears, obviously around all
Speaker 1: of these stories, and I understand why they exist. And
Speaker 1: I understand that I have no understanding of not being
Speaker 1: brought up the way that I was brought up, and
Speaker 1: I don't have relatives who came to this country for
Speaker 1: a better life for me.
Speaker 3: I don't have any of that.
Speaker 1: But I also understand that these fears are being used
Speaker 1: by politicians on both sides. The fear works for the
Speaker 1: Democrats because the more people that are in fear, the
Speaker 1: more people join their cause to kill the Republicans in Washington.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean When I say kill, I
Speaker 1: don't really mean kill.
Speaker 3: It works.
Speaker 1: The fear works for the Republicans in Washington that want
Speaker 1: all the illegal immigrants out of this country. Make them nervous.
Speaker 1: That way more will stay where they are in their
Speaker 1: countries of origin. It works for both political parties. And
Speaker 1: I just want everyone to just think about that for
Speaker 1: a minute. Why do they want you in fear? Whatever side?
Speaker 1: Why do they want you in fear.
Speaker 3: It's to it's to you. You're moresing forward their political cause.
Speaker 2: You're more easily manipulated when you're afraid that to the
Speaker 2: other side.
Speaker 1: Yes, and for all the people who freaking send us
Speaker 1: death threats and hate us for whatever we say about
Speaker 1: whatever's going on, when we're trying to stick to just facts,
Speaker 1: give us the facts and we'll give you them right back.
Speaker 3: Does it feel good? Does it feel.
Speaker 1: Good to hate insert party or insert president or insert
Speaker 1: people here?
Speaker 3: Does that feel good?
Speaker 1: I don't think it feels good at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, So feel good to hate all the people
Speaker 1: who are here illegally, Probably not feel good to hate Trump.
Speaker 3: Just just feeling that.
Speaker 1: In your in your heart or your body probably doesn't
Speaker 1: feel good. So why are we doing that? Why are
Speaker 1: we so committed to that. I don't like that. If
Speaker 1: I have a problem with somebody, I like to go
Speaker 1: through it and deal with it in my head and
Speaker 1: make sense of it and just squash it, because it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good walking around being pissed off all the time.
Speaker 3: Just bile. It's just built up of bile.
Speaker 2: Now, one of the unintended consequences, at least I hope
Speaker 2: it's unintended, is that those businesses throughout downtown La I
Speaker 2: mean that core that's now under curfew from eight pm
Speaker 2: to six am, those businesses are getting kicked in the
Speaker 2: teeth by these protesters.
Speaker 3: We'll explain when we come back.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Rameshould be Swash Kamar is a name that you are
Speaker 1: going to hear more about because this is the loan
Speaker 1: survivor of that crash that has killed everyone on board
Speaker 1: that Boeing seven eight seven dreamliner headed from India to London.
Speaker 3: Ramesh V Swash Kamar was seated.
Speaker 1: In eleven A A doctor who has examined him from
Speaker 1: the hospital said that Ramesh was disoriented with multiple injuries
Speaker 1: all over his body, but he seems to be out
Speaker 1: of danger.
Speaker 3: What have you seen the image of his plane ticket?
Speaker 2: No, I assume it was on his body at the time,
Speaker 2: but it's got his name on it. It's got the
Speaker 2: seat eleven A, the date, time of departure, all of
Speaker 2: that stuff, and then a stamp from the immigration the
Speaker 2: immigration office there.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine going through all of that once. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say any sort of thing that could
Speaker 1: be construed as insensitive, but settling once everything is settled,
Speaker 1: you know, weeks, months, years from now, knowing that you're
Speaker 1: the lone survivor or something like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, there are books written about stuff like this.
Speaker 2: Sure because it does.
Speaker 3: Sure because there was a streaming TV show about it,
Speaker 3: except it was a child kid.
Speaker 1: Yes that's right. Wait what was that show? Evan Evan
Speaker 1: Dear Yeah, yeah, yeah right. I mean, just the weight
Speaker 1: immediately on your shoulders for that kind of survival is incredible.
Speaker 1: I read that he had a brother on board that
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anywhere else confirmed that adds to it
Speaker 1: as well. But just the idea that everyone two and
Speaker 1: forty people at least on this plane. And you survived
Speaker 1: the crash and you're walking away from it.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And we get more information about rumsh this
Speaker 2: swash Kumar, swash Kamar, bring it to you. We've been
Speaker 2: telling you obviously. The curfew still in effect. Mayor Bass
Speaker 2: has said that the curfew for downtown La will remain
Speaker 2: in effect. Yesterday, she said it will remain in effect
Speaker 2: until there are no arrests overnight for people who choose
Speaker 2: to break curfew. There is a problem though. The downtown
Speaker 2: core is about one point four percent of our geographic
Speaker 2: area for the city, but it is twenty one percent
Speaker 2: of the jobs in La City are downtown, twenty nine
Speaker 2: percent of wages. This is all according to the DTLA Alliance,
Speaker 2: the coalition and property owners down there. And if you
Speaker 2: think of the smaller businesses that exist outside of the
Speaker 2: Apple Store and stuff like that, maybe the flower shop
Speaker 2: that's owned by Johnny Wong, who has since nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: his Vietnamese American family has owned that flower shop.
Speaker 3: His sales are down eighty percent.
Speaker 2: There are restaurants that have to close at eight o'clock
Speaker 2: when eight o'clock would have been prime time any other
Speaker 2: day for them to be making money to try to
Speaker 2: keep their doors open.
Speaker 3: What about the.
Speaker 2: Music and performance venues that exist in that downtown curfew
Speaker 2: area that have had to shutter shows because of the
Speaker 2: protests and then the rioters that come in afterwards. There
Speaker 2: is a very wrong immigrant community of business owners in
Speaker 2: downtown LA that are now being crushed because of the
Speaker 2: ongoing protests. In all of this Swedish immigrant immigrant A
Speaker 2: guy named Michael Backlinder says the windows of his coffee
Speaker 2: shop had to be boarded up by members of the
Speaker 2: Carpenters Union as part of a free service to some
Speaker 2: of the downtown businesses. Think of I just want to
Speaker 2: I want to rephrase that, because this is something that
Speaker 2: I think if you're not in downtown you kind of forget.
Speaker 2: There are people who will come to your business and
Speaker 2: for free board up your windows for you because they
Speaker 2: know that this is going to get out of hand
Speaker 2: and the chances are that your business is going to
Speaker 2: either be looted and or destroyed by some of these
Speaker 2: people that come in. Blair Beston, is executive director of
Speaker 2: the Historic Core Business Improvement District, said, a bunch of
Speaker 2: these protests and the violence have occurred in the area,
Speaker 2: that the FI graffiti or a cab or whatever, all
Speaker 2: this graffiti isn't being cleaned up quickly enough off of
Speaker 2: the historic buildings, and that they could be somewhat permanent
Speaker 2: and become long lasting ice sores. For all of this,
Speaker 2: she also said that the people who came in and
Speaker 2: looted the Apple store, for example, were very well organized.
Speaker 3: They had radios, they had.
Speaker 2: A U haul the craps, and they said that it
Speaker 2: all happened within five minutes. So the idea that these
Speaker 2: are that you're only hurting, for example, the even if
Speaker 2: you're your goal is to hurt law enforcement, you're doing
Speaker 2: a whole lot more than that.
Speaker 3: You're heard in the community. You're hurting the community, and
Speaker 3: you're immigrant.
Speaker 1: Community, and like we talked with Michael Monks, you're hurting
Speaker 1: the future community. When you know Nike and Apple that
Speaker 1: that didn't want to come to LA but did and
Speaker 1: set up shop there, and now we'll you have big
Speaker 1: companies come and make things nice downtown LA. Well, you've
Speaker 1: got a big reason of why not. You've got a
Speaker 1: big reason of why they'll go somewhere else like Carmel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: money or Monterey, somewhere like that, just really anywhere.
Speaker 2: While all this domestic issue continues to bubble up. There
Speaker 2: is a very serious threat of Israel bombing Iran sometime
Speaker 2: in the next couple.
Speaker 1: Of stop threatening us with such good times.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We will get into it coming up after the news
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. But Defense Secretary Pete
Speaker 1: haig Seth has refused to say whether he would follow
Speaker 1: the courts if they ruled Trump's deployment of marines to
Speaker 1: La was, I don't know against its rule. He repeatedly
Speaker 1: deflected when asked today at a hearing whether he would
Speaker 1: respect a federal district or even Supreme Court decision on
Speaker 1: the issue. So we will get into all the legal
Speaker 1: wranglings that could happen, especially if that happens, coming up
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: The President just wrapped up a deal at the White
Speaker 2: House today where he was talking about the EV mandate.
Speaker 2: He has signed a bill that basically destroys California's EV mandate,
Speaker 2: And he was also asked about the plane crash in Ammadabad, India.
Speaker 2: At least two hundred and forty people killed in this
Speaker 2: Air India flight that crashed just after takeoff. Apparently the
Speaker 2: dead include medical students in a college hostel where the
Speaker 2: plane hit that building. A doctor to a local hospital
Speaker 2: said there is a loan survivor that somebody onboard that
Speaker 2: plane survived the crash and was literally able to run
Speaker 2: away from it. Don't know what caused the crash of
Speaker 2: this Boeing seven eighty seven Dreamliner, but it is the
Speaker 2: first time a seven eighty seven has ever been involved
Speaker 2: in an incident like this.
Speaker 1: You heard in Amy's News. There's been some weird fighting
Speaker 1: going on at the Harvey Weinstein sex crimes the retrial.
Speaker 1: Today a judge there in New York declared a mistrial
Speaker 1: on this remaining rape charge because the jury four person
Speaker 1: was a no show.
Speaker 3: The drama.
Speaker 1: We can do that, yeah, exactly my question. The drama
Speaker 1: went down Thursday. The four person said hell no to
Speaker 1: returning to the jury room after claiming the other jurors
Speaker 1: threatened him over what we don't know yet, which was
Speaker 1: my question, what is there to fight about it? The
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstring Weinstein's sex crimes trial, the guy's an awful
Speaker 1: excuse for a human What are you fighting? Over All,
Speaker 1: twelve jurors did convict Weinstein yesterday a first degree criminal
Speaker 1: sexual act for the two thousand and six case of
Speaker 1: an ex production assistant who accused this guy forcibly performing
Speaker 1: oral sex on her and is a home in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: But today things just went to hell there and the
Speaker 1: judge had to disclare declare a mistrial on that remaining
Speaker 1: charge that they were deadlocked on.
Speaker 2: Well, internationally, there's something going on between the United States, Israel,
Speaker 2: Iran and our personnel in the Middle East. Israel, according
Speaker 2: to The New York Times and several other outlets, appears
Speaker 2: to be launching preparing to launch an attack on Iran
Speaker 2: very soon. A concern about this and the prospect of
Speaker 2: retaliation led the United States to withdraw a bunch of
Speaker 2: diplomats from places throughout the Middle East, specifically Iraq. They
Speaker 2: authorized the voluntary departure of US military family members from
Speaker 2: other areas around the Middle East.
Speaker 3: This was not a punishment.
Speaker 2: We're not We're not punishing Iraq or other you know,
Speaker 2: countries in the Middle East by pulling our diplomats out.
Speaker 2: We're protecting our diplomats. This is not a you know,
Speaker 2: we're not upset with them. I'm not angry with you.
Speaker 2: I just recognize you. And in this case, they have allowed,
Speaker 2: like I said, the voluntary departure of military family members
Speaker 2: out of the Middle East. The question we have now
Speaker 2: is what exactly is Israel planning and when would it
Speaker 2: take place? Because there are talks that are supposed to
Speaker 2: happen between the US and Iran this weekend.
Speaker 1: Trump says that the military action against Iran could be
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. At the White House today,
Speaker 1: he said it could happen very well soon.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't want to say eminent, but it looks
Speaker 6: like it's something that could very well happen. Look, it's
Speaker 6: very simple, not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 6: Other than that, I want them to be successful. I
Speaker 6: want them to be trum will help them be successful.
Speaker 6: We'll trade with them, We'll do whatever is necessary.
Speaker 2: He used his example of the conflict between India and
Speaker 2: Pakistan as a way to move forward, and he said
Speaker 2: that he used the threat of withholding trade from India
Speaker 2: and Pakistan as a way for those two countries to
Speaker 2: kind of pull back from the brink after a conflict,
Speaker 2: yet another conflict between those two nuclear armed countries.
Speaker 3: So I don't know what his expectation is.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's more carrot than stick in terms
Speaker 2: of trying to convince Iran to come to the table,
Speaker 2: give up their ambitions for a nuclear weapon, and basically
Speaker 2: open themselves up to trading, specifically their oil on the
Speaker 2: open market, which would bring in a metric butt ton
Speaker 2: of money into that country.
Speaker 1: We'll stay on top of all the news coming out
Speaker 1: of Washington and remember big parade event set for Saturday
Speaker 1: to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the
Speaker 1: US Army, also falling on the President's seventy ninth birthday.
Speaker 1: Some headlines swirling around that event. There was a Craigslist ad.
Speaker 1: Craigslist is still a thing, Huh?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's where I get my ke ketamine from.
Speaker 2: But I didn't know that people use it for anything other.
Speaker 1: Than that, right, Well, you get your ketamine from so
Speaker 1: many different places, so it's all hard to raze.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 1: That's kind of a it's an outlier, really, but Craigs
Speaker 1: and then Michael Monks brought up eBay the other day.
Speaker 1: But I do know somebody who buys clothes off eBay.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I thought all of this had gone by
Speaker 1: the wayside.
Speaker 3: But here we are.
Speaker 1: Craigslist ad asking for seat fillers for the military parade
Speaker 1: in Washington is being called a fake. The ad was
Speaker 1: put out asking for bodies to fill up the stands
Speaker 1: for space maximization and attendance perception that they would receive
Speaker 1: crypto money for showing up and filling a seat.
Speaker 2: I mentioned the big three networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS
Speaker 2: aren't planning on covering it live over their major networks,
Speaker 2: my ass. But they are gonna they are doing on
Speaker 2: their streaming services. They're doing walled wall coverage of the
Speaker 2: thing because it's there.
Speaker 3: They have you have, you can't not pay attention to that.
Speaker 3: They're just not going to do.
Speaker 2: They're not going to cut into whatever programming they have
Speaker 2: on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 3: What is it? Golf is a golf, It might be
Speaker 3: golf is basketball. I mean they're playing these all pull
Speaker 3: great ratings. Yeah, but how can you not. I'm not
Speaker 3: saying they're not going to send it, I know, but.
Speaker 1: Like that alone is kind of like the media f
Speaker 1: and you to Trump like, well, we're not going to
Speaker 1: go to your birthday party.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so juvenile. I totally agree. I want to.
Speaker 3: I want to see part of it. I listen. I'm
Speaker 3: curious ethically.
Speaker 2: I think it's the wrong way for us to celebrate
Speaker 2: our military.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: It just brings up too many images of other countries
Speaker 2: that do it the wrong way. We don't have to
Speaker 2: put our d on the table to show how powerful
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 3: Our d is speaks for itself.

Speaker 2: There is a huge court case being heard up in
Speaker 2: San Francisco today, Gavin Newsom v. Donald Trump, and Newsom
