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. It is Wednesday, March fifth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 1: If you miss any part of the show, make sure
Speaker 1: to hit us up on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Subscribe to it.
Speaker 1: That's the best way to always have it there whenever
Speaker 1: you want it. Go to wherever you get your podcasts
Speaker 1: and subscribe to Gary and Shannon and there you go.
Speaker 2: Right there. On the iHeartRadio app, we.
Speaker 1: Mentioned the medspas push to prey on people's insecurity over
Speaker 1: balding how that's kind of the latest playground that they
Speaker 1: are trying to.
Speaker 2: Steal your money in.
Speaker 1: There was an article in Blueberg Business Week about how
Speaker 1: medspas conquered America, the tactics, all of our insecurities, how
Speaker 1: they prey on us, how they pick their price points.
Speaker 1: Is it all worth it? Where the best ones are?
Speaker 1: We'll get into all that coming up in the eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. In the meantime, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says
Speaker 1: there may be carve outs coming to the tariffs placed
Speaker 1: on Canada and Mexico by President Trump. We've been talking
Speaker 1: about this all morning in the wake of the speech
Speaker 1: where the President said maybe a little bit of an
Speaker 1: adjustment time, we can handle it kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Well, the markets did not agree.
Speaker 1: The markets responded not well to those tariffs going into effects.
Speaker 1: So now the Commerce Secretary is saying, well, kind of
Speaker 1: backing away after it saw the stock market get hurt
Speaker 1: by this. Consumers are worried, according to polling, and a
Speaker 1: trade war not a good optic, is it. In an
Speaker 1: interview this morning with Bloomberg, Lutnick said that Trump would
Speaker 1: update his tariff plans with an afternoon announcement potentially today,
Speaker 1: possibly sparing sectors like autos from the import taxes. As
Speaker 1: we've talked about, the price of new cars is going
Speaker 1: to go up a dramatic if they don't back off
Speaker 1: of these to some extent. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Speaker 1: is called Trump's sweeping tariffs very dumb. These are his
Speaker 1: waning days in office, by the way, that should be said.
Speaker 1: He called out for Trump's appeasement of Vladimir Putin while
Speaker 1: launching this trade war against Canada. He said that Canada
Speaker 1: will plaster retaliatory trade tariffs on more than one hundred
Speaker 1: billion of American goods in response. So we'll stay on
Speaker 1: top of all of that news. Huntington Park. What the
Speaker 1: hell's going on in Huntington Park. This is a story
Speaker 1: we're staying on top of. Huntington Park doesn't get a
Speaker 1: lot of attention in La County. It's a small community
Speaker 1: east of the one ten right there, not far from
Speaker 1: Inglewood and Watts, ten miles away from Bell. The reason
Speaker 1: I bring that up is because what's going on in
Speaker 1: Huntington Park is very reminiscent of when the fiefs in
Speaker 1: Bell decided to pillage the town's coffers for their own benefit.
Speaker 1: And that seems to be what's going on just down
Speaker 1: the road in hunting Park. And like I say, I
Speaker 1: learned it from John and Ken. If you're not paying attention,
Speaker 1: they're going to screw you over and twice on Sundays.
Speaker 1: The people that you elected to look out for your cities,
Speaker 1: for your towns, for your states, for your countries, what
Speaker 1: have you. You've got to pay attention to where your
Speaker 1: tax dollars are going or they're going to use them
Speaker 1: to benefit themselves. Not everybody, but there are a lot
Speaker 1: of them. That get into the game for number one,
Speaker 1: Huntington Park. We've talked about it before. This is the
Speaker 1: area where they got it signed off on that fourteen
Speaker 1: million dollars would go to build this beautiful aquatic park
Speaker 1: for the community. It would have an Olympic sized pool.
Speaker 1: We're talking to thirty thousand square foot, two story, state.
Speaker 2: Of the art facility. And it sounded great.
Speaker 1: It sounded great for the beautiful park that is around
Speaker 1: this center, sounded great for the kids growing up in
Speaker 1: the community to have access to this.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful and it was signed off on years
Speaker 1: ago and fourteen million dollars have been collected for this.
Speaker 1: What has been built absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 1: There has been an investigation by the La County DA's
Speaker 1: office going back to the fall of twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: about this, and it was go time this past week
Speaker 1: when several homes and officers were raided in Huntington Park.
Speaker 1: The Mayor Karina Massias her home was searched as part
Speaker 1: of this corruption probe. A lot of people showed up
Speaker 1: at the city council meeting that was called for last Friday,
Speaker 1: and they were pissed off, as they should be, as
Speaker 1: they should be in place like Huntington Park.
Speaker 2: It's all about community.
Speaker 1: It's all about local community, community and what's available for
Speaker 1: the kids or what have you. And the fact that
Speaker 1: this was a town that tried to pretend like it
Speaker 1: was invested in that and then turned around and just
Speaker 1: pillaged the tax dollars. They should be very upset. The
Speaker 1: mayor is in her third four year term, very confident
Speaker 1: in how things work and probably how to rob the city.
Speaker 1: She says that the aquatic center in the pool project
Speaker 1: is not an illusion in the community and will soon
Speaker 1: become a reality.
Speaker 2: That is the latest today where she says, no, it's just.
Speaker 1: On hold, it's still going to happen, just not much
Speaker 1: has been done yet, well, not anything has been done yet.
Speaker 1: Longtime Huntington Park city attorney left. He said the current environment,
Speaker 1: lack of communication with my office has made my job
Speaker 1: unreasonably difficult. Basically, the attorney that is there to help
Speaker 1: city council members not run.
Speaker 2: A foul of the law says, I'm out.
Speaker 1: I am out. Y'all are crazy. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you think you're doing with your checkbooks over there with
Speaker 1: the city checkbooks, but I can't defend your asses and
Speaker 1: I certainly can't give you any legal representation, so I'm
Speaker 1: out now. I don't know if he said any of
Speaker 1: those things publicly, but that's essentially what that.
Speaker 2: Means when the city attorney kicks out like that.
Speaker 1: There are four former Huntington Park employees have sued the city.
Speaker 1: They say that they face discrimination and retaliation for raising
Speaker 1: their hand, for saying something's not right here, something's not
Speaker 1: right with this project, something's not right with the way
Speaker 1: the city is spending or is pretending to spend these
Speaker 1: tax dollars on this project. All four of these people
Speaker 1: were placed on leave. Three were fired for raising their
Speaker 1: hand and saying something is a foul here. Well, we're
Speaker 1: going to try and get their attorney on because those
Speaker 1: people know where the bodies are buried. And the fact
Speaker 1: that the fiefs that run the fiefdom that is Huntington
Speaker 1: Park dismissed these people, fired them. My god, they thought
Speaker 1: they could get away with everything, don't they. Around The
Speaker 1: Horn has been canceled, going off the air after more
Speaker 1: than twenty years on the network twenty three years on ESPN.
Speaker 1: They made the announcement yesterday saying a half hour version
Speaker 1: of Sports Center will air weekdays instead.
Speaker 2: The last episode of Around the Horn will be made
Speaker 2: at twenty third.
Speaker 1: Eight leaders or members of a Chinese hacking company have
Speaker 1: been charged alongside two Chinese law enforcement officers. This is
Speaker 1: a global cyber espionage campaign that has targeted dissonance that
Speaker 1: are here in the United States. Now we've known that
Speaker 1: the Chinese government has deputized some of their brightest minds.
Speaker 1: Think about Elon Musk and what he's doing with Doje.
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing in China. Essentially, with hackers. They're
Speaker 1: finding the best and the brightest, and they're using these
Speaker 1: brilliant kids to as weapons against the US and against dissidents.
Speaker 1: A set of criminal cases today adding new detail to
Speaker 1: what US officials say is this hacking for higher ecosystem
Speaker 1: in China. They are targeting victims of particular interest to Beijing. Well,
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of probation officers in trouble here
Speaker 1: in Ellie County. And sometimes when these stories surface, you wonder,
Speaker 1: how are this many people involved? That mob mentality that
Speaker 1: rears its head from time to time, and it could
Speaker 1: be the mentality of three people, or five people, or
Speaker 1: in this case thirty officers from the Probation Department have
Speaker 1: been indicted on criminal charges. This was an investigation into
Speaker 1: allegations that they allowed and encouraged fights between teenagers at
Speaker 1: juvenile halls here in La County. Now, juvenile halls have
Speaker 1: been in the news because they're a freaking mess. There's
Speaker 1: not the funding, there's not the staffing. You think La
Speaker 1: County jails are a mess, well, the juvenile halls make
Speaker 1: those look like tea parties. An indictment and seal unsealed
Speaker 1: this week shows seventy one counts of child abuse, conspiracy,
Speaker 1: and battery against thirty of these officers. These are fights
Speaker 1: in particular that took place from July to December in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Two officers are accused of telling other
Speaker 1: officers not to intervene, not to make report.
Speaker 2: That's when fights happened. Just don't fill out that What
Speaker 2: are you doing over there, Bob, don't fill that out. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: We're going to pretend like this didn't happen.
Speaker 1: One of the officers told teenagers involved in the fights
Speaker 1: not to seek medical attention in order to cover up
Speaker 1: the fights. The Attorney General has referred to these as
Speaker 1: gladiator fights, which means more media attention. The indictments were
Speaker 1: the result of a Department of Justice investigation on a
Speaker 1: state level because there were some leaked security video.
Speaker 2: What is that video show?
Speaker 1: It shows eight probation officers standing idly by while a
Speaker 1: group of teenagers attacked a seventeen year old. This was
Speaker 1: inside the Los Padrino's juvenile hall there in Downey. This
Speaker 1: teenager suffered a broken nose and a TBI dramatic brain
Speaker 1: injury because of this. This was not a scuffed up elbow,
Speaker 1: rob Bonti said at the news conference.
Speaker 2: The officers look more like referees.
Speaker 1: Or audience members at a prize fight in this video,
Speaker 1: not the adults charged with the supervision of these people.
Speaker 1: The officers, they don't step in, they don't intervene, and
Speaker 1: they don't protect the kids.
Speaker 2: They reviewed all the videos.
Speaker 1: They found sixty nine fights that occurred among dozens of teenagers,
Speaker 1: and we're talking ages twelve to eighteen. And these are
Speaker 1: fights in particular there at Los Padrinos. This was the
Speaker 1: first six months after this hall opened. The thing about
Speaker 1: the other thing I mentioned the mob mentality of thirty
Speaker 1: officers being embroiled in this thirty people thought that that
Speaker 1: was okay enough to be brought up on charges, not
Speaker 1: just like somebody, I mean probably not just somebody walking
Speaker 1: by seeing what's going on and continue to walk by.
Speaker 1: Although maybe it's that easy that maybe the bars that
Speaker 1: load to get charged in this investigation. But thirty people
Speaker 1: thought this was okay, that they wouldn't get caught, that
Speaker 1: this was copacetic to have these kids fight each other
Speaker 1: for sport. If you're believing what the Attorney General says,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. That the probation officers were
Speaker 1: just using these kids as entertainment to fight each other.
Speaker 1: So there's that, and then the other problem I have.
Speaker 1: The other hurdle is that the officers knew that there's
Speaker 1: video running in these halls, and that somebody at some
Speaker 1: point would get their hands on videos that showed their
Speaker 1: role in all of this. That the fights were, they
Speaker 1: say in the charging papers, orchestrated. It wasn't even that
Speaker 1: these kids were just getting together and fighting maybe getting
Speaker 1: a cut of it. Got to believe the kids were
Speaker 1: getting a cut of it, that they were getting some
Speaker 1: some sort of kick back from the probation officers, that
Speaker 1: there was some sort of betting scheme going on.
Speaker 2: All a fight club, right.
Speaker 1: The Attorney General says, we believe these fights were planned,
Speaker 1: They were intended that they wanted them to happen. The
Speaker 1: officers did at the beginning of the day and at
Speaker 1: a certain time a certain place. My goodness, they were instructed.
Speaker 1: Rookie officers were instructed not to say anything, not to
Speaker 1: write anything down, and just to watch when the youth
Speaker 1: fight occurred. I wonder what would happen like that, Like
Speaker 1: in your workplace, it's pretty it's pretty quiet around here.
Speaker 2: It's pretty dull. Shanna, are you trying to spice them?
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it would make it more entertaining, but
Speaker 1: it would. It was like we could put money on
Speaker 1: different people and have them fight in what used to
Speaker 1: be the sales area. We are to have a basketball hoop,
Speaker 1: why not throw in a ring of some kind and
Speaker 1: put a couple of people in there. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: got people I would bet on. Who Jacob he's pissed off,
Speaker 1: you know, he'll hit somebody. Yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 1: Jacob would be my racehorse that I would bet on
Speaker 1: all day long. I know I picked a winner. You
Speaker 1: gotta go for the ones that are really angry. Okay, anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's right. It's awful. And we're
Speaker 1: talking about children, teenagers, not growing.
Speaker 2: I train for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, You're gonna have to drop some weight. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to drop some weight to get into your
Speaker 1: weight class.
Speaker 2: Jacob, Wow, got.
Speaker 1: To start wearing three pairs of sweatpants and stuff because
Speaker 1: the person I want you to fight is under your
Speaker 1: weight class.
Speaker 2: Do you have a spink cup?
Speaker 1: Some stories we're following for you today, trending right now.
Speaker 2: Firing squads.
Speaker 1: They've had a long and storied history in the US,
Speaker 1: served as punishment for mutiny and colonial times, way to
Speaker 1: discourage desertion during the Civil War, a dose of frontier
Speaker 1: justice in the Old West, right, But now they are
Speaker 1: considered by some to be a more humane alternative to
Speaker 1: lethal injection. South Carolina this week Friday is scheduled to
Speaker 1: conduct the first firing squad execution in the US in
Speaker 1: fifteen years.
Speaker 2: Who's Gonna Die?
Speaker 1: Guy by the name of Brad Sigmund, he was convicted
Speaker 1: of killing his ex girlfriend's parents in two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: has elected to the firing squad over what's available in
Speaker 1: South Carolina, which is the good old electric chair, as
Speaker 1: well as lethal injection. Minor updates maybe not some minor,
Speaker 1: depending on how you feel about this story. To the
Speaker 1: death of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, one discrepancy,
Speaker 1: I guess I should say has been cleared up. It
Speaker 1: involves one of their dogs. Authorities mistakenly identified the dog
Speaker 1: that was found dead. Remember in that closet near the
Speaker 1: body of the wife, Betsy. There was a mistake when
Speaker 1: they called this dog a German Shepherd. A dog care
Speaker 1: facility owner says that a German Shepherd named Bear survived
Speaker 1: from property, along with a second dog named Nikita. At
Speaker 1: the same time, he says, the couple's Kelpie mex kelpie mix.
Speaker 1: Excuse me if I'm screwing that up. Kelpie mix Zinna died,
Speaker 1: of course, still looking for answers after the bodies of
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa were discovered partially mummified yet
Speaker 1: last week in their home there in Santa Fe. All right,
Speaker 1: how is my kid doing in school? That is a
Speaker 1: perennial question, isn't it. That's why you've got state test scores,
Speaker 1: among other things. And today the state Board of Education
Speaker 1: is meeting, and a big topic on the table is
Speaker 1: should they change the way they describe student performance on
Speaker 1: standardized tests. I don't need to tell you that scores
Speaker 1: have been in the toilet for quite some time here
Speaker 1: in California. It's not just us, but let's just own
Speaker 1: the problem and say we're not doing great. When it
Speaker 1: comes to reading and math. Student scores have been ranked
Speaker 1: in one of four categories on these tests. The topics
Speaker 1: the subjects are math, reading, and science. And here are
Speaker 1: the categories standard, exceeded, standard met, standard nearly met, or
Speaker 1: standard not met. Now the consortium, now I'll talk about bureaucracy.
Speaker 2: Listen to this.
Speaker 1: The consortium that manages the standardized tests told officials in
Speaker 1: California in a presentation last September that there has been
Speaker 1: confusion about.
Speaker 2: What those levels mean.
Speaker 1: Again, standard exceeded, standard met, standard nearly met, or standard
Speaker 1: not met. Seems pretty self explanatory to me, right, seems
Speaker 1: pretty basic. They say, no, now that's confusing. They've suggested
Speaker 1: new labels here.
Speaker 2: They are.
Speaker 1: Advanced, proficient, foundational, and inconsistent. So if you're failing, you're inconsistent. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've gotten everything wrong, you're not wrong. You're inconsistent.
Speaker 1: Inconsistent means they've kind of gotten some stuff right.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If you fail the math problem, you've failed the math problem.
Speaker 1: There's nothing inconsistent about it. You're not going to go
Speaker 1: to work once you graduate. If you graduate senior year
Speaker 1: and fail to put in that pipe fitting correctly, your
Speaker 1: boss isn't going to tell you, you know what, that
Speaker 1: is inconsistent work. He's going to tell you, Hey, you've
Speaker 1: screwing up that pipe fitting. And I have no idea
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about right now. You know that, but
Speaker 1: you screwed up that pipe fitting. That's going to cost
Speaker 1: the company seven thousand dollars. That's coming out of your paycheck. Oops,
Speaker 1: you haven't worked here long enough. You're fired. That's the
Speaker 1: real world. It's not inconsistent. If you fail something, you fail,
Speaker 1: it sucks. It sucks for whatever reason, maybe your school
Speaker 1: or your tutors have failed you. But there it is failed,
Speaker 1: And what are you going to do about it? Then?
Speaker 1: Where do you go from there? Where are you going
Speaker 1: to grow from there? You need to get better at
Speaker 1: that math problem. You're going to get better at that
Speaker 1: pipe fitting. Again, no idea what I'm talking about with
Speaker 1: pipes so they're going to talk about this. They have
Speaker 1: not gotten any public input, which they've gotten heat for.
Speaker 1: Although whoever shows up at that meeting, wow, don't come
Speaker 1: to any parties I throw. They say that the terms
Speaker 1: are just they've always been kind of vague, but everyone
Speaker 1: can agree that we need to do better. The pre
Speaker 1: pandemic levels of twenty nineteen were not great to begin with,
Speaker 1: and math and English test scores have declined nationwide between
Speaker 1: fourth and eighth graders. They're about the same in LA
Speaker 1: and California as well. They're just we haven't bounced back
Speaker 1: from that. Attendance is one raison. The reliance on screens
Speaker 1: probably another reason.
Speaker 2: Like that, by the way that the I thought this was.
Speaker 1: Interesting, the standardized tests are computer based. If I didn't
Speaker 1: know this part. If students are doing well, the program
Speaker 1: sends the student harder questions. If the student is faring poorly,
Speaker 1: the program sends easier questions. They say the goal is
Speaker 1: to get a more precise reading of a student's skills,
Speaker 1: but the test represents only a snapshot of a student's performance.
Speaker 2: Of course, the rest is.
Speaker 1: Whether their teachers say what their you know, engagement is
Speaker 1: in class extracurriculu, all those things.
Speaker 2: You know that, so it's just a bar.
Speaker 1: But I did not know that the test the questions
Speaker 1: were adjusted for how they're doing on specific tests. That's
Speaker 1: interesting to me. It makes sense. I guess it makes
Speaker 1: sense to know exactly where they're at. You got to
Speaker 1: constantly recalibrate the test to that particular student.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: President Trump granting a one month exemption on his stiff
Speaker 1: new tariffs on imports from mexic in Canada for US automakers.
Speaker 1: They are worried that this trade war is going to
Speaker 1: harm the auto industry, which it would have. We heard
Speaker 1: from leaders of the industry that said that new car
Speaker 1: prices were going to be astronomical. Essentially, the announcement comes
Speaker 1: after Trump spoke today with the leaders of the Big Three,
Speaker 1: so that's Ford, GM and Stalantis. Trump said in a
Speaker 1: statement read by a spokesperson, we spoke with the Big
Speaker 1: three auto dealers, were going to give a one month
Speaker 1: exemption on any autos coming through US MCA, which is
Speaker 1: the North American Free Trade Agreement that HU renegotiated in
Speaker 1: his first term. So that may be the compromise we've
Speaker 1: been waiting for of course, Howard Lutnik, the Commerce Secretary,
Speaker 1: went on Fox Business today said there may be carve
Speaker 1: outs coming to those twenty five percent tariffs placed on
Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico today. A softening really of position that
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday. Because the stock market reacted. It
Speaker 1: was not good and nobody likes a trade war. You
Speaker 1: want to pay your fair share, but the idea of
Speaker 1: a trade war doesn't play well in the financial markets.
Speaker 1: So at least now we have this one month exemption. Again,
Speaker 1: we're not really sure what the bargaining goal is here,
Speaker 1: what exactly he wants from Canada and Mexico, but one
Speaker 1: month exemption on the stiff new tariffs on imports there,
Speaker 1: so we will stay on top of that. We know
Speaker 1: that Jade Vance has a trip to the border this afternoon,
Speaker 1: so he will probably have more details that he announces
Speaker 1: and we'll take you there live if it happens. All right, So,
Speaker 1: there was a story about a woman in Hollywood. She
Speaker 1: was convicted yesterday for running uber but for drugs. They
Speaker 1: called this a lucrative drug delivery business out of her
Speaker 1: apartment and the criminality, well it comes with the drugs,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. But they were dirty drugs. This was woman
Speaker 1: was essentially killing people. Jerry found her responsible for supplying
Speaker 1: fentanyl that caused multiple overdoses. These go back to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty one. Remember everything was delivery in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty one. You weren't going anywhere. Everything
Speaker 1: was delivered to your door. It was the height of delivery.
Speaker 1: Some people have not rebounded from that. She's just thirty
Speaker 1: six years old. Marilla is her name, Marilla Tota Rova
Speaker 1: and three overdose survivors testified at her trial in the
Speaker 1: past week. Two of them warned this woman. They told
Speaker 1: the jury that repeatedly they told her throughout the time
Speaker 1: there twenty twenty twenty twenty one that she was selling
Speaker 1: dirty drugs, but time and again she ignored their concerns
Speaker 1: to keep profits up. Her former delivery driver testified during
Speaker 1: the trial, saying, it's not something I signed up for.
Speaker 1: People were getting sick, people were getting hurt. A delivery
Speaker 1: driver making more than the average delivery person because he
Speaker 1: was delivering drugs, but he didn't know he was delivering
Speaker 1: dirty drugs.
Speaker 2: I guess she was.
Speaker 1: Found guilty of selling meth, cocaine, and ecstasy. Her sentencings
Speaker 1: not until September when they arrested her. In March twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. They were able to track her down during
Speaker 1: cell phone data. DEA agents found several stockpiles of plastic
Speaker 1: bowls of containing color for colorful pills and powders. It
Speaker 1: was like it was like the Willie Walk and the
Speaker 1: chocolate factory inside there, but for drugs, packing materials, kitchen scales,
Speaker 1: ziplock bags everywhere, cash, drugs tucked into drawers, strown about
Speaker 1: the floor. They seized a lot of different drugs, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine, mushrooms, pills, oxy,
Speaker 1: all of it. They said that her phone stored a
Speaker 1: daily journal of a drug owner operating a drug business
Speaker 1: that she sent regularly updated drug menus to her drivers
Speaker 1: and clients. She instructed the delivery driver how to cook
Speaker 1: drugs in her apartment and demanded efficiency from her other
Speaker 1: delivery drivers to maximize her profits. This is very breaking bad,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I always survived through one series of breaking bad,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like this is. But I don't think
Speaker 1: she was trying to beat cancer. That's the caveat That's
Speaker 1: what makes you feel okay about breaking bad right, trying
Speaker 1: to beat the cancer, trying to do what's right for
Speaker 1: his family. We don't know what her motive was, but
Speaker 1: her personal phone was linked via iCloud to several work
Speaker 1: phones used by her employees, and prosecutors maintained that she
Speaker 1: kept this watchful eye on her business like a mob boss.
Speaker 1: She would routinely travel between the United States and Mexico.
Speaker 1: Why because that is where her pet lived, her pet
Speaker 1: jaguar named Princess.
Speaker 2: Now, had she not been selling.
Speaker 1: Dirty drugs, I would say that's pretty badass to orchestrate
Speaker 1: this kind of ring and at the same time have
Speaker 1: a pet jaguar named Princess.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: She took the stand in her own defense this week.
Speaker 1: She said that it wasn't me. It was my ex boyfriend.
Speaker 1: That's why he ran. The whole thing was I was
Speaker 1: just the little lady. But anyway, they said she was young, attractive,
Speaker 1: and intelligent and easy to believe and easy to do
Speaker 1: things for and all the time she was running this
Speaker 1: dirty drug ring. That is also probably a plot for
Speaker 1: maybe not a major motion picture, but maybe straight to
Speaker 1: Netflix type of a movie on that one. All right,
Speaker 1: We've got swamp watched plenty to get to, including the
Speaker 1: breaking news that Trump is granting this one month exemption
Speaker 1: on the new import the new tariffs for imports from
Speaker 1: Mexico and Canada. When it comes to cars, that's a
Speaker 1: big one. Will there be more movement on the terraff front?
Speaker 1: At least that's what the Commerce Secretary has told media
Speaker 1: outlets today, That the administration has noticed that Wall Street
Speaker 1: has not responded very well. It's not a very healthy
Speaker 1: situation for the markets, and that doesn't play well in
Speaker 1: Washington with this administration. So we may see throughout the
Speaker 1: day some more recalibrating, so to speak, when it comes
Speaker 1: to these tariffs.
Speaker 2: So we'll have all that for you when we come
Speaker 2: back to Gary and Shannon. You've been listening to the
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1: You can always hear us live on KFIAM six forty
Speaker 1: nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
Speaker 1: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
