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: Well, that was a That was a weekend?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 3: That was a weekend?
Speaker 4: God?
Speaker 1: I saw Jim McDonnell up there behind the podium last
Speaker 1: night with his press conferences following the coverage all weekend long,
Speaker 1: and I just thought, Oh, what a mess for him,
Speaker 1: for the department, for the LAPD, because this is something
Speaker 1: that the LAPD has handled for a very long time.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a specialty of the LAPD. Certainly in
Speaker 1: the twenty years that I've been in Los Angeles, it
Speaker 1: has been something when you go back to the May
Speaker 1: Day protests of two thousand and six, what have you,
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. You know, this is something that
Speaker 1: they are built for. That they have adjusted, they've pivoted,
Speaker 1: they've tweaked all of it to make and constantly train constantly.
Speaker 1: So this is this is what they do. They know
Speaker 1: how to handle these things. So the fact that this
Speaker 1: became a national political conversation, what a headache for the LAPD,
Speaker 1: what a headache for the local CHP what have you?
Speaker 1: And the fact that it's devolved into this pissing match
Speaker 1: between Newsom and Holman and Trump.
Speaker 3: Is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Speaker 2: There's so much that goes into this.
Speaker 5: I saw the interview, the whole interview that Governor Newsom
Speaker 5: did with I believe it was at least it was
Speaker 5: aired on MSNBC. It was with an NBC reporter last night.
Speaker 5: He was standing in the County Office of Emergency Services.
Speaker 3: Is this the one where he says, come get me,
Speaker 3: tough guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I know that they want to flex each
Speaker 5: other's muscles and they want to rip their shirts off
Speaker 5: and talk about who's the tough guy is more? Is
Speaker 5: it more tough to be the most caring person in
Speaker 5: the room, or is it more tough to be the
Speaker 5: law enforcement officer in the room. This it's so tiresome,
Speaker 5: it's so ridiculous. And if you've got law enforcement officers
Speaker 5: who are at risk of being severely injured with these
Speaker 5: fireworks that are being thrown at them or the concrete
Speaker 5: blocks that are being thrown at them, they don't care.
Speaker 5: They don't give two rats asses about you, and you're
Speaker 5: flexing your muscles in some safe interview somewhere with somebody.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of what does this mean for me?
Speaker 3: How can I use this crisis for me?
Speaker 1: When it comes to both Trump and Holman and Newsom
Speaker 1: across the lines there, across all political lines. It was
Speaker 1: how can I use this to my advantage? And make
Speaker 1: no mistake about it. There was a conversation of can
Speaker 1: we make this bigger to prove whatever point further, whatever
Speaker 1: point we want to make to self serve.
Speaker 5: There's a potential, an ugly potential for it to benefit
Speaker 5: both sides by making this a bigger de ill. Yes,
Speaker 5: and that's so it all goes back to Friday. On Friday,
Speaker 5: there were immigration enforcement actions. You know, there's a lot
Speaker 5: that falls creates a big umbrella and a lot of
Speaker 5: things fall under that umbrella. But immigration enforcement actions that
Speaker 5: were taking place in the fashion district in Los Angeles
Speaker 5: on Saturday. Everybody was saying that they were running raids
Speaker 5: through a parking lot at a home depot, which is
Speaker 5: not true.
Speaker 2: That's not what happened on Saturday, but.
Speaker 5: It did get out of control because the lack of
Speaker 5: truth is what can spur these things out of control.
Speaker 5: There were events that took place on Friday night that
Speaker 5: prompted President Trump to say he was going to call
Speaker 5: in the National Guard and then prematurely credited the National
Speaker 5: Guard with putting things down, even though National Guard soldiers
Speaker 5: were not technically on the street until early yesterday morning.
Speaker 2: To me, that.
Speaker 1: Was a juvenile, semantic situation. When Gavin reposted Trump's thank
Speaker 1: you to the National Guard troops who had not descended
Speaker 1: yet on Los Angeles, but Knewsome pointing out that they
Speaker 1: weren't here yet, I don't know, it was kind of juvenile.
Speaker 3: In my opinion.
Speaker 1: A classier way to handle that was they hadn't gotten
Speaker 1: here yet. They're doing a great job, but our local
Speaker 1: law enforcement had things under control, something to that nature.
Speaker 5: Which would then, at least in that instance, give Gavin
Speaker 5: Newsom the ability to say, I'm respecting our local law
Speaker 5: enforcement by not making it about me or making it
Speaker 5: about some little, oh I beat.
Speaker 2: You on Twitter thing.
Speaker 5: It's the our men and women are doing just They're
Speaker 5: doing great with what they've been handled or what they've
Speaker 5: been given. Mayor Bass has already done interviews this morning.
Speaker 5: She has already gone and made the instant made the
Speaker 5: insistence that the LAPD is not overwhelmed, despite the word
Speaker 5: that Chief McDonald used last night in a news conference,
Speaker 5: there's a bunch of sound that goes into this.
Speaker 2: Bill A.
Speaker 5: Saley, the new US attorney for the Central District, was
Speaker 5: on with Conan Nolan over the weekend and explained specifically
Speaker 5: what the ice agents were doing, what was what went
Speaker 5: into the activities on Saturday, specifically in the city of Paramount,
Speaker 5: and it's it's ah, it's a frustrating, it's a it's
Speaker 5: a frustrating story to even talk about because so many
Speaker 5: people are so heated on both sides that nobody everybody's
Speaker 5: going to stick their fingers in their ears and walk
Speaker 5: around going blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I know what I saw, I know what I heard.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of ridiculous reports last night, but
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend too much time on it
Speaker 1: because I say ridiculous things all the time. When you're
Speaker 1: in a live situation talking about unfolding, breaking news, sometimes
Speaker 1: you say stupid s. But there was one that I
Speaker 1: just can't stop thinking about, just to add a little
Speaker 1: bit of levity. And I don't know what station it was,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what anchor it was or reporter,
Speaker 1: but I did hear it this morning and passing, and
Speaker 1: it was something to the effect of that protester has
Speaker 1: what appears to be a cheesecake. There was a local
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory in the area that was looted. We don't
Speaker 1: know how he got that cheesecakes A sound bites Oh.
Speaker 3: Okay, because I was just like I said in passing,
Speaker 3: I heard it, and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, gold, gold, that is gold. Like, wrap it
Speaker 1: up and give that to me every day. And the
Speaker 1: fact that it's old is exactly why it was replayed
Speaker 1: years ago. God, I had never heard that before. Why
Speaker 1: have we not made use of that? Like you said, God,
Speaker 1: it was gold.
Speaker 5: People trying to fill time with words can often God,
Speaker 5: it was good.
Speaker 2: Get into the world.
Speaker 3: Oh, I loved it.
Speaker 2: We do it every day.
Speaker 1: That's what I said. That's how I went into that
Speaker 1: whole thing. I was like, I do it all the time.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, there is a protest plan
Speaker 1: for noon today and we'll talk about it.
Speaker 3: We'll stay on top of this.
Speaker 1: There are make no doubt about it, protesters being flown in.
Speaker 1: And when I say protesters, maybe not the people with
Speaker 1: the intent of the protesters that were first out there
Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday, the thousands of people that were
Speaker 1: peaceful before the agitator stepped in. So we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that and what it could look like today because it
Speaker 1: has the potential for a lot more unrest this afternoon.
Speaker 2: Amy.
Speaker 5: More importantly, Yes, there is an eagle that has flown
Speaker 5: the nest.
Speaker 3: Yes, Gussy left the nest on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sorryja, is there a nickname? Now you know what.
Speaker 3: We had a break. We're going to come back and
Speaker 3: unpack that.
Speaker 4: Okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5: We are standing by. Apparently LAPD is expected to have
Speaker 5: a news conference sometime this morning, before we know. Another
Speaker 5: protest is planned at about noon today. Also mentioned that
Speaker 5: Karen Bass did give at least one interview already this morning.
Speaker 5: Be playing parts of that for you as well as
Speaker 5: we get through whatever was going on over the course
Speaker 5: of this last few days, we'll see it looks like
Speaker 5: it could continue for the next few days. But, like
Speaker 5: you said, the coverage that made its way around the
Speaker 5: world over the course of the last seventy two hours,
Speaker 5: For example, in Australia.
Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 1: We begin with developing news out of Los Angeles, where
Speaker 1: tensions have reached boiling point, tear gas and and rubber
Speaker 1: bullets fired as protesters clashed with police.
Speaker 3: Are the immigration ride striper?
Speaker 2: She goes on and talks to it.
Speaker 5: But there will be people who come here specifically for
Speaker 5: this weird cosplay LARPing of what they think is standing
Speaker 5: up to the man or something.
Speaker 2: Whatever they do.
Speaker 1: Trump overstepping and throwing in the National Guard when everybody
Speaker 1: had things handled, and there will be people like, well
Speaker 1: it wasn't handled.
Speaker 3: There were cars burning.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we have handled cars burning when the Lakers
Speaker 1: have won the national championship in Los Angeles without the
Speaker 1: National Guard. But I will say this, giving Trump the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt, this is quite possibly the first
Speaker 1: time Trump has paid attention to any sort of unrest
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. He has been in New York, He's
Speaker 1: been in the business world. He does not remember the
Speaker 1: May Day rallies that I remember covering here in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles in the past twenty years. He's been busy with
Speaker 1: his life and other things. So he sees Los Angeles
Speaker 1: having immigration protests and it's like, I got to send
Speaker 1: in the National Guard. There is a world in which
Speaker 1: that is true that he was not playing politics. That
Speaker 1: this is the first time Al was like, Oh, these
Speaker 1: are immigration protests, this is my immigration policy.
Speaker 3: I need to respond by sending in the National Guard.
Speaker 2: That can be true. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 5: I think one of the things that he campaigned on
Speaker 5: this second time around also was he's not going to
Speaker 5: let it happen again. It being a as an example,
Speaker 5: a summer of protests that completely gutted the city of
Speaker 5: Portland or the occupied territory or whatever BS line it
Speaker 5: was that happened in the city of Seattle. He said
Speaker 5: repeatedly he would not allow that to happen, matter what
Speaker 5: the issue.
Speaker 1: Was.
Speaker 5: And this is right now the largest, most specific example
Speaker 5: of that where he's been able to do that and
Speaker 5: exercise that that campaign promise.
Speaker 1: It's not even a large when it comes to protests
Speaker 1: over immigration in Los Angeles, which is.
Speaker 2: Which is also interesting.
Speaker 5: Mayor Bass talked about this this morning on CNN. She
Speaker 5: referred to this as just kind of a Hey, just
Speaker 5: so everybody realizes, and you and I know this because
Speaker 5: we've been where these protests have taken place.
Speaker 2: It's not a large area.
Speaker 5: It's not we're not even talking about the I don't
Speaker 5: know tens of thousands of people that have taken part
Speaker 5: in other May Day.
Speaker 3: Protests, hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is an isolated kind of event.
Speaker 6: This is isolated to a few streets. This is not
Speaker 6: citywide civil unrest taking place in Los Angeles. In the
Speaker 6: streets downtown.
Speaker 2: It looks horrible.
Speaker 6: People committed crimes. It is absolutely unacceptable, and those people
Speaker 6: that set cars on fire or did other forms of
Speaker 6: vandalism will be sought to be arrested and prosecuted.
Speaker 1: She did a good job of keeping a cool head,
Speaker 1: and I know that she has to for a variety
Speaker 1: of reasons, but it's exactly right. Sometimes when they and
Speaker 1: the same thing happened with the fires's per perspective, When
Speaker 1: Los Angeles hits international news and they say Los Angeles
Speaker 1: is burning or Los Angeles is mired in protests, nobody
Speaker 1: has any sort of idea of what that means.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody thinks Disneyland is about to burn.
Speaker 1: That the whole city is on fire. And this was
Speaker 1: just outside of city Hall. To give a little perspective
Speaker 1: the May Day protest I'm referencing from two thousand and six, more.
Speaker 3: Than a million people were protesting.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was a send in the National Guard situation,
Speaker 1: and you saw it in other cities too, Chicago, you know,
Speaker 1: but you know this is a Tuesday. I'm not watering
Speaker 1: down the reason they're protesting, or the fact that they're
Speaker 1: burning cars, and that is not the way you protest
Speaker 1: in this country.
Speaker 3: It is not legal.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not making excuses for anybody, and I'm
Speaker 1: not watering down the argument. I'm just saying, let's just
Speaker 1: objectively look at this and realize that we've got this
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: There is a frustrating I think the most frustrating aspect
Speaker 5: of this from somebody who's not involved in those protests
Speaker 5: is the three different groups of people that you've got.
Speaker 5: You have people who are legitimately concerned about what they
Speaker 5: see as federal overreach when it comes to immigration enforcement.
Speaker 5: You want to have that argument, that's fine, and they
Speaker 5: want to protest peacefully. They want to carry the signs,
Speaker 5: they want to be out there. They want to even
Speaker 5: even this, which I completely think is degrading and awful
Speaker 5: way to treat humanity. They want to get up in
Speaker 5: the face of an officer and yell at them. They
Speaker 5: have the right to do that in this country. That's
Speaker 5: one group of people. You have another group of people
Speaker 5: who are simply there to stoke the fires literally in
Speaker 5: some cases, to call those Waymo taxis along the street
Speaker 5: there and then torch them, to try to burn those
Speaker 5: CHP cruisers that were on the one to one freeway
Speaker 5: down below with whateverat you know, burning traffic cones. That's
Speaker 5: the second group of people. They're the ones who want
Speaker 5: to stoke this thing till it gets violent. And then
Speaker 5: you've got this other third group of people that are involved,
Speaker 5: and they're the looky loose. They're the people who are
Speaker 5: walking around with their phones out like it like they're
Speaker 5: at the grove. I mean, they're just doing this as
Speaker 5: sort of a I want to be involved in this,
Speaker 5: but not so much that I want to possibly get
Speaker 5: hit with rubber bullets or tear gas or something. But
Speaker 5: I'm gonna still be there. I'm gonna go down and
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna look at everything.
Speaker 1: There is a whole community of people on social media
Speaker 1: that are citizen reporters.
Speaker 2: Whether it's TikTok, could you hear me roll my eyes
Speaker 2: harder than.
Speaker 3: That, it is what it is, and sometimes it's very helpful.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we look at all of those accounts when we're
Speaker 1: covering breaking news to see people that are at whatever event.
Speaker 3: We'll look at that footage.
Speaker 2: You call it me.
Speaker 1: I will say that this Kilmar Abrigo Garcia hill is
Speaker 1: not one to die on.
Speaker 5: This is another one of those things where again the
Speaker 5: description of what actually happened, for example, on Saturday, is
Speaker 5: so much less than everybody expected. It would be Bill
Speaker 5: a Sale, the new US Attorney for the Central District
Speaker 5: District of California, described what exactly was going on and
Speaker 5: who started what on Saturday. Well, we'll play some of that.
Speaker 5: We'll talk about this Kilmar Abrego Garcia guy as well.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: In San Diego yesterday playing carrying six people crash in
Speaker 1: the Pacific right there. Coastguards still investigating that one happened
Speaker 1: yesterday midday.
Speaker 5: I did see the coast Guard believes they did find
Speaker 5: a debris field, but they have not confirmed that in fact,
Speaker 5: it was the crashed.
Speaker 2: Plane that was responsible for.
Speaker 5: In I'm not even quite sure if there was a question,
Speaker 5: but Alberto Cavallo, the superintendent of La Unified has the
Speaker 5: answer to a question that may not have actually been asked,
Speaker 5: and he's just he's holding a news conference right now.
Speaker 1: Well, it's always a question about what they're going to
Speaker 1: do with the kids in the schools, because the kids
Speaker 1: in the schools always end up joining these protests. So
Speaker 1: LA Unified is always a question of what are they
Speaker 1: going to do, how are they going to handle this?
Speaker 1: Our class is canceled, all of that.
Speaker 5: Well, that he's talking specifically about fortressing buttressing. Yeah, LA
Speaker 5: Unified school campuses against immigration raids, right, which again I
Speaker 5: don't the.
Speaker 1: Old trope right of their going into the schools. They're
Speaker 1: going into the churches. That's what we heard, but with
Speaker 1: no real evidence of that.
Speaker 2: You want to listen to it for sure.
Speaker 5: Alberto Cavallo again, LA Unified School District Superta and let's.
Speaker 7: Bring that arm down and extinguish that flame, for we're
Speaker 7: no longer the light for the world.
Speaker 3: I am proud someone's running for office.
Speaker 7: Sounds like I am proud to call this city my city.
Speaker 7: I am proud of the fact that this board stands
Speaker 7: united and unified alongside community partners and elected officials in saying.
Speaker 2: Not on our watch Not on our watch.
Speaker 7: Shall people trample over children's rights?
Speaker 2: Not on our watch. Shall people be intimidated? Not on
Speaker 2: our watch.
Speaker 7: Shall we succumb to unreasonable pressures first to do that
Speaker 7: which is not human.
Speaker 2: Or humane or humanitarian. I'm one who.
Speaker 7: Believes that as an educator of many decades, we know
Speaker 7: and understand that public education democracy are two sides of
Speaker 7: the same American coin. Undermine one, the other will suffer.
Speaker 7: That is what's at stake. We will not waiver from
Speaker 7: our responsibility of protecting kids. Let me take a quick
Speaker 7: break to let you know who's with us today.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we'll stay on top of that. We have
Speaker 1: seen that in the past. This protest is supposed to
Speaker 1: get underway at noon. We have seen and I would
Speaker 1: put money on it that we'll see it again today.
Speaker 1: Exodus of kids walking out of classes prior to noon
Speaker 1: or what have you. It just it always works its
Speaker 1: way into the schools. Maybe I'm wrong, No, I.
Speaker 5: Think you're right. I mean I'm curious to see what,
Speaker 5: like you said, which office Carvallo is interested in attaining next?
Speaker 3: But yeah, what is the launch pad superintendent to what?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 1: Is he an attorney ag that might not be a
Speaker 1: bad Let's let's find out about his background.
Speaker 5: One of the things that is going on today is
Speaker 5: Governor Newsom has said that the state will be suing
Speaker 5: President Trump, saying that the President illegally acted in order
Speaker 5: to federalize National Guard during these protests. At this point,
Speaker 5: we don't know if the lawsuit had been filed. All
Speaker 5: he said last night at an interview was that the
Speaker 5: lawyers are working on the briefs. Of course, the a
Speaker 5: c LU we keep referring to this rally that's scheduled
Speaker 5: for noon today. The ACO you called for a peaceful
Speaker 5: rally at noon today in a downtown park to demand
Speaker 5: the release of a union leader who was arrested Friday
Speaker 5: during a protest at a federal detention center. David Guerta
Speaker 5: is the president of Service Employees International Union California. He
Speaker 5: is scheduled to make a court appearance today. They say
Speaker 5: that rallies are also going to take place in more
Speaker 5: than a dozen cities throughout the country, Atlanta, New York, Pittsburgh,
Speaker 5: San Francisco, Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: According to SCIU.
Speaker 5: We were not the only ones in Los Angeles that
Speaker 5: had protests of some amount yesterday. In San Francisco police
Speaker 5: up there arrested about sixty people, including juveniles, in a
Speaker 5: protest in the Financial District in San Francisco. Two officers
Speaker 5: were injured, and they said that there was a very
Speaker 5: significant property damage throughout the Financial District.
Speaker 1: All right, again, we will stay on top of this
Speaker 1: all of the news coming out of any of the
Speaker 1: protests and as they developed this after noon. But Amy
Speaker 1: King's Gizzy. Is that a nickname for the eagle that
Speaker 1: flew the nest along with her sister Sonny this weekend?
Speaker 1: Is that a name you came up with, or is
Speaker 1: that the entire community that is named Gizmo Gizzy.
Speaker 8: I've heard Gizzy, and I guess I'm saying because I've
Speaker 8: just never been crazy about Gizmo.
Speaker 3: I still like Rocky. Yeah, but yeah, So it's Gizmo.
Speaker 3: It's Gizmo.
Speaker 8: She flew for the first time on Saturday, so she
Speaker 8: was in the nest. Sonny of course left a few
Speaker 8: days earlier and then has come back and left a
Speaker 8: couple of times. And Gizmo was practicing. So she did
Speaker 8: that thing where she flaps her wings real hard and
Speaker 8: kind of hovers for a little bit and then kind
Speaker 8: of runs and hops across the nest and stuff, and
Speaker 8: it looks like she was in the process of doing
Speaker 8: that and kind of missed the edge of the nest
Speaker 8: and out she went. But the good thing was she
Speaker 8: flew like a champ over to a tree next door
Speaker 8: and had an expert landing and hung out there for
Speaker 8: a couple of days.
Speaker 3: Next That is excellent news.
Speaker 1: I'm glad all is going well and the milestones are
Speaker 1: being met out of the nest in Big Bear. The
Speaker 1: President is taking questions as he returns to the White House.
Speaker 1: We will bring you that. It's happening right now as
Speaker 1: we speak. We're rolling on it and we'll play it
Speaker 1: for you when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 5: A lot going on throughout the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: A few days worth of protests that had turned violent
Speaker 5: in some instances. A lot of damage, a lot of
Speaker 5: damage in and around the downtown core area around City Hall,
Speaker 5: including those five Waymo taxis that were all burned to
Speaker 5: just a ashy hulk.
Speaker 3: And those are electric vehicles, are they not?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I say, they just continue to burn and burn. If
Speaker 1: I was going to say something on fire. That would
Speaker 1: be the first thing I said on fire, just as.
Speaker 5: You know, to show my distribution maximum.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean they're stupid. I don't like driverless cars.
Speaker 1: It takes away jobs and I think they're stupid, and
Speaker 1: I would set that on fire.
Speaker 5: Well, they're stupid enough to have been called into the
Speaker 5: middle of the heat and you know, not realize that
Speaker 5: they were in danger.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's good. Maybe we don't want those cars thinking
Speaker 2: for themselves.
Speaker 4: We do not.
Speaker 3: That's why I want to set them on fire as well.
Speaker 5: We are waiting to hear from LAPD. We expect that
Speaker 5: the chief will be holding a news conference. He did
Speaker 5: last night. He actually used the word overwhelmed, which I
Speaker 5: don't Nobody really pressed him on the word that he
Speaker 5: was referring to LAPD being overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: At certain points, that is not a word that goes
Speaker 1: over well with any law enforcement agency.
Speaker 3: And there's a reason why you're basically.
Speaker 1: Saying if you're saying an agency is overwhelmed. And I
Speaker 1: have firsthand knowledge of this when I was a reporter
Speaker 1: and I was covering the worst shooting in Orange County
Speaker 1: history at Salon Maritage and Seal Beach and I went
Speaker 1: on the air with John and Ken and I said
Speaker 1: that the Seal Beach Police.
Speaker 3: Department seemed overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: And I had a very stern conversation with one of
Speaker 1: the leaders of the Seal Beach Department who said to me,
Speaker 1: you don't say that, and here's why. And the reason was,
Speaker 1: I wasn't saying that the department, and we had a
Speaker 1: good conversation about it, that the department was overwhelmed. That's
Speaker 1: so what I meant. I meant that Seal Beach Police
Speaker 1: is so intertwentwined in the community that it would be
Speaker 1: impossible to work that scene. There's no way it is
Speaker 1: impersonal to any of those officers. There's no way you
Speaker 1: can separate what you do from your life in that
Speaker 1: kind of a situation.
Speaker 3: And that's what I meant.
Speaker 1: I wass saying that they were overwhelmed in a duty sense,
Speaker 1: because that is a very big slight to use, a
Speaker 1: gross underestimation of what that is when you say that
Speaker 1: to a department, that's not what that is.
Speaker 3: The LAPD was not overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: They've dealt, as we pointed out this hour, they've dealt
Speaker 1: with much bigger problems than what they faced over the weekend.
Speaker 5: One of the things that's sort of adding fuel to
Speaker 5: this fire from both sides is the President's insistence that
Speaker 5: the National Guard be activated without going through the governor's office.
Speaker 5: That happened on Saturday, and a few hundred National Guards
Speaker 5: troops are.
Speaker 2: On the ground here in La. Now.
Speaker 5: The option is to go for as much as I
Speaker 5: think it's six hundred is the number now, but that
Speaker 5: they could call in two thousand, and that they could
Speaker 5: be asked to stay on duty basically for sixty days.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to happen. That would be
Speaker 5: the maximum, but I don't think that's going to happen now.
Speaker 5: This prompted Governor Newsom to be upset, and he says
Speaker 5: he's going to file suit against the federal government and
Speaker 5: Donald Trump specifically for doing that. Tom Holman, the White
Speaker 5: House advisor that's in charge of enforcement for ICE, had
Speaker 5: said that if Gavin Newsom and or LA Mayor Karen
Speaker 5: baskets in the way, that they could be arrested.
Speaker 2: So today, President Trump.
Speaker 5: On his way back into the White House, was just
Speaker 5: on the lawn of the White House and was shouted
Speaker 5: questions at by the reporters that had gathered can't hear
Speaker 5: the very first part of it. One reporter refers to
Speaker 5: Tom Holman suggesting that he would arrest Gavin Newsom if
Speaker 5: he did something to interfere with the federal agents.
Speaker 2: Should he do so?
Speaker 5: And the President said I would if I were him.
Speaker 5: Gets a little bit easier to listen to, or a
Speaker 5: little bit easier to hear when he says that Gavin
Speaker 5: Newsom is a good guy, when it says, oh, let
Speaker 5: me push that button, not button.
Speaker 4: Because I like the avenues and he's a nice guy.
Speaker 4: But he's grossly incoonfidence. Everybody knows. All you have to
Speaker 4: do is look at the little railroad he's building. It's
Speaker 4: about a hundred times over budget. We're putting a flag
Speaker 4: fall over there under budget. I always do under budget.
Speaker 2: Here, what if you're intel?
Speaker 3: Tell you about the people causing all the problem?
Speaker 4: You know, they are the people I just trying to deport.
Speaker 5: Are they professional adjucate.
Speaker 4: People that are causing the problem?
Speaker 6: Are professional agitators, They're insurrectionists.
Speaker 1: They're bad people.
Speaker 4: They should be in jail.
Speaker 5: And then he goes on it's important to point out
Speaker 5: he used the term insurrectionists if he calls the military,
Speaker 5: specifically the Marines that are supposedly staging and standing by
Speaker 5: down at Camp Pendleton. The only way he can do
Speaker 5: that legally, or one of the slivers of ways that
Speaker 5: he could do that legally, is if he invokes the
Speaker 5: Insurrection Act and if he refers to them as insurrectionists. Yes,
Speaker 5: that is a step closer to doing that. I don't
Speaker 5: think we'll ever see marines on the streets of LA
Speaker 5: in a law enforcement capacity like that.
Speaker 2: That brings.
Speaker 5: That brings a whole new level of hell to the
Speaker 5: legal fight and to what it means for this country.
Speaker 5: So I don't think the Marines are coming. I do
Speaker 5: think it is a saber rattling move on the part
Speaker 5: of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: Thank you're right.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks was out there all weekend, all day yesterday,
Speaker 1: and we'll join us about what he saw first Ham
Speaker 1: when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 5: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 5: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
