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. A couple headlines actually today that
Speaker 1: kind of covered what we just talked about, the three
Speaker 1: big stories that are going to be shaping this presidential races.
Speaker 2: We're now about a month out from election day.
Speaker 1: You've got the hurricane that blew through those states in
Speaker 1: the South. You've got the port strike. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that coming up in a couple of minutes. And this
Speaker 1: issue that's going on in the Middle East. It seems
Speaker 1: like the Middle East is always an issue obviously for
Speaker 1: presidential elections, but this one, this time, seems to be
Speaker 1: peaking right as we get down to elections, and even
Speaker 1: in some places where elections have already started voting I
Speaker 1: should say has already started. So the White House is
Speaker 1: said to be working to try to limit the response
Speaker 1: to the barrage of Iran's ballistic missiles that were fired
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, where one hundred and eighty plus missiles came in.
Speaker 1: What I saw is that maybe twelve of them actually
Speaker 1: made contact with the ground and caused some amount of damage.
Speaker 1: Still no word on any Israeli deaths, but a Palestinian
Speaker 1: guy did die in the West Bank after debris from
Speaker 1: a destroyed missile apparently fell on him. Several senior Administration
Speaker 1: officials have said that Israeli officials have told them privately
Speaker 1: they do not need feel the need to hit back
Speaker 1: against Iran yet, at least not in any immediate and
Speaker 1: massive way. But here in the United States and in Europe,
Speaker 1: there is some fear that Israel could specifically target economic
Speaker 1: targets in Iran that would prompt another escalatory reaction. And
Speaker 1: Tehran has long been saying stay away from our oil
Speaker 1: and gas industry, which if you really wanted to hurt Iran,
Speaker 1: that's the way you do it.
Speaker 2: That's how they're making their money.
Speaker 1: The other issue is would Israel potentially target nuclear sites
Speaker 1: in Iran, which they've done before, although they do it
Speaker 1: under the cover of darkness and they never actually admit
Speaker 1: that they have done that. Dan Hoffman is a former
Speaker 1: CIA Chief of Station, and he talked about the timing
Speaker 1: of this. Where we stand in terms of approaching the
Speaker 1: year anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel from October seventh,
Speaker 1: the current situation with hasblah in Lebanon, and how the
Speaker 1: Israeli military has been making its ground offensive into southern
Speaker 1: Lebanon with airstrikes and boots on the ground and tanks.
Speaker 1: With all of that going on, the nuclear option, should say,
Speaker 1: going after the nuke system there in Iran might be
Speaker 1: on the table.
Speaker 3: Well, Israel has taken the fight so effectively to Hamas
Speaker 3: and to his look at his bula, Israel has taken
Speaker 3: out roughly thirty his Bulo commanders, including their leader hasan As.
Speaker 3: They've destroyed his Balla's ability to communicate, targeted their foot
Speaker 3: soldiers and their rocket launch capabilities. And so Iran's proxies
Speaker 3: are now weaker arguably than ever before in terms of
Speaker 3: responding in some form or fashion to Israel. And that's
Speaker 3: how Iran creates strategic depth, it's through their proxies. And
Speaker 3: so now is the time Israelis would argue, including their
Speaker 3: former Prime minister enough Tally Bennett, who says, go now
Speaker 3: and destroy the nuclear program. Aron's a nuclear threshold state.
Speaker 3: There's no better time than now to do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to flesh out that comment from enough Tally Bennett,
Speaker 1: the former Israeli Prime minister, he said, we must act now,
Speaker 1: to destroy Iran's nuclear program, its central energy facilities, and
Speaker 1: to fatally cripple this terrorist regime. The octopus's tentacles are
Speaker 1: temporarily paralyzed. Now comes the head again. That was the
Speaker 1: former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett. President Biden has said he
Speaker 1: said it yesterday, as late as yesterday, he does not
Speaker 1: support an Israeli strike on nuclear sites. In response, a
Speaker 1: senior Administration official has said that Israeli officials haven't even
Speaker 1: discussed such a move, at least not in private conversations
Speaker 1: with the United States. But there's some things that have
Speaker 1: come out in the last say twenty four hours that
Speaker 1: we didn't know about before. For one thing, the United
Speaker 1: States State Department administration officials believed that they had a
Speaker 1: ceasefire proposal with Hesba Lah. They believed that Israel was
Speaker 1: about to sign off on it. But when the United
Speaker 1: States and some other countries, including France, announced it publicly,
Speaker 1: that's when Benjamin Natanyaho said absolutely not. Ian Bremer, a
Speaker 1: former State Department official now president and founder of Eurasia Group, says,
Speaker 1: what the Americans understand is that Iranians desperately don't want escalation,
Speaker 1: at least not the people, and that reality means both
Speaker 1: you're a little less concerned about escalation, but you're worried
Speaker 1: the Israelis might try to do more, and says that
Speaker 1: these Raeli's are on the front lines here, they are
Speaker 1: the ones who feel the existential threat, but they also
Speaker 1: certainly do not feel bound by American pressure, and that
Speaker 1: makes us look bad. That's his quote. He says, that
Speaker 1: makes Biden look bad. This Israel's in a very difficult place.
Speaker 1: It has been for a very long time. It's there's
Speaker 1: no new breath that's going to be breathed into this
Speaker 1: conflict that has not already been fought for several hundred,
Speaker 1: if not a couple thousand years. But the idea that
Speaker 1: Israel is now committing air strikes on Hamas in Gaza,
Speaker 1: They've been dropping bombs on Hesbelah in Lebanon, and now
Speaker 1: looking at the possibility of some sort of a retaliatory
Speaker 1: strike against Iran, they're fully capable of it. But if
Speaker 1: it is true that Israeli officials have been saying privately
Speaker 1: to American officials that they do not currently feel the
Speaker 1: need to hit back against Iran in any sort of
Speaker 1: immediate or massive way, maybe that's the sliver of daylight
Speaker 1: towards some sort of I don't know, a day new mall.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what that word means. I just remember
Speaker 1: that I learned it in high school, and it's something
Speaker 1: about the second half of the book. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: about this is the beginning of ramping down escalations that
Speaker 1: hopefully one hundred and eighty ballistic missile strike from Iran
Speaker 1: to Israel was the peak and it just slows down
Speaker 1: from there, hopefully. Hey, reminder, the Pacific Air Show is
Speaker 1: returning to Huntington Beach this weekend. It starts tomorrow, goes
Speaker 1: through Sunday, bringing more of those stunts and sand action
Speaker 1: than ever before. General admission tickets are only thirty dollars
Speaker 1: plus booking fees if you go to Pacificairshow dot com.
Speaker 1: The nation's largest air show by attendance, usually more than
Speaker 1: three million people up and down Huntington Beach to watch
Speaker 1: all of this and again, it starts tomorrow. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll be broadcasting live from south of the Pier tomorrow
Speaker 1: the regular Gary and Shannon Show, just the outdoor beach
Speaker 1: version of the Gary and Shannon Show. I was right,
Speaker 1: I think when I said dey new mall, Hi mall.
Speaker 4: There's a French word that means falling action. Yes, it's
Speaker 4: events that occur in a story after the climax of
Speaker 4: the story, that sort of wrap up the story. That's
Speaker 4: day new Mall.
Speaker 1: Well, we can hope, How's that we can hope that
Speaker 1: this week is the day New mall of this conflict
Speaker 1: in the Middle East. President Biden is going to be
Speaker 1: in Florida and Georgia today to survey more damage from
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene. The second full day the President's going to
Speaker 1: devote to the disaster. The report now is that at
Speaker 1: least two hundred people are known to have died as
Speaker 1: a result of that hurricane that since it made landfall
Speaker 1: Florida a week ago. More than half of the deaths
Speaker 1: have been in North Carolina, and in some places they
Speaker 1: said entire communities were destroyed by several feet of fast
Speaker 1: moving water. The hot temperatures, of course, will continue here
Speaker 1: in southern California. That means we're going to see increased
Speaker 1: fire danger. Heat warnings and advisories are up through about
Speaker 1: eight o'clock tonight. By the way, I follow up to
Speaker 1: a story and Shannon had actually mentioned this the other day,
Speaker 1: we were trying to find out what was going on
Speaker 1: with the Orange County Fire Authority hand crews that were
Speaker 1: involved in that rollover crash. Well, two of those firefighters
Speaker 1: have been moved to rehab centers this week as they
Speaker 1: continue their road to recovery. At least one of them
Speaker 1: has a pretty severe spinal injury. Two of the eight
Speaker 1: firefighters were released the night of the crash, two went
Speaker 1: home following day. The last four remained hospitalized for almost
Speaker 1: two weeks. Then you've got two that were removed to
Speaker 1: rehab centers yesterday, and still two others who are considered
Speaker 1: or should say, are in the hospital. So we're day
Speaker 1: three now of a dock worker port worker strike, if
Speaker 1: you want to call that, on the East Coast and
Speaker 1: the Gulf Coast, thirty six different ports, somewhere between twenty
Speaker 1: and forty thousand dock workers. I've seen different numbers as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. And Johnny Dixon is the president
Speaker 1: of the Fort Lauderdale chapter of the International Longshoreman's Association.
Speaker 1: He says that members top out at about thirty nine
Speaker 1: bucks an hour. They're looking for a seventy seven percent
Speaker 1: increase over the next seven years. And he says, when
Speaker 1: you look at the cost of inflation, that's more than reasonable.
Speaker 1: We of course had a dock worker strike here on
Speaker 1: the West Coast and represented by a different union, But
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why the East Coasters are
Speaker 1: now on strike, because the guys out here on the
Speaker 1: West Court West Coast make more, and in some cases
Speaker 1: significant more. Pay for a long shortman is based on
Speaker 1: the years of experience, and under the former contract, starting
Speaker 1: pay for dock workers was twenty bucks an hour. That
Speaker 1: rose to twenty four to seventy five after two years,
Speaker 1: thirty one ninety after three years. In fact, it would
Speaker 1: top out at thirty nine bucks, and that only took
Speaker 1: about six years worth of service. And as I said,
Speaker 1: they were looking for a seventy seven percent raise over
Speaker 1: the next six years. That would be the equivalent of
Speaker 1: about five dollars per hour increase for each year of
Speaker 1: the contract. So the top wage just paid base wages,
Speaker 1: would be about eighty one thousand dollars. But obviously you
Speaker 1: can make extra money taken on extra shifts. For example,
Speaker 1: the annual report from the Waterfront Commissioner in New York,
Speaker 1: Harver said about a third of local longshoremen taking on
Speaker 1: those extra shifts and overtime, et cetera, usually make about
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars a year. It's more typical that
Speaker 1: it's over one hundred thousand, but that there are some
Speaker 1: like I said, that can make the bigger amount just
Speaker 1: based on their willingness to work a lot. Here's a reporter,
Speaker 1: Brooke Taylor. Yeah, Brooke Taylor, who was talking to striking
Speaker 1: workers outside of a port near Houston.
Speaker 5: Experts say this is costing our economy up to four
Speaker 5: point five billion dollars a day. Thirty six major US
Speaker 5: ports stretching from Maine to Texas, like you mentioned, currently
Speaker 5: shut down because of this. Many of the cargo ships
Speaker 5: that usually deliver goods to East Coast and Gulf Coast
Speaker 5: ports that come in are stuck offshore. More than three
Speaker 5: hundred trade groups have joined together urging President Biden to intervene.
Speaker 2: He's made it clear he's not going to do that now.
Speaker 5: As a recap, these union workers are asking for two
Speaker 5: major things, higher wages and a ban on automation that
Speaker 5: would take jobs away from them.
Speaker 1: William la Ganessa, reporter, also was talking about the importance
Speaker 1: of having the West coast ports pick up the slack
Speaker 1: if it gets to that, if it's necessary in this thing,
Speaker 1: drive on for a couple of days or weeks. We
Speaker 1: will see an increase in capacity here at the West
Speaker 1: coast ports.
Speaker 6: Well, right now La Long Beach has about room for
Speaker 6: forty containerships a month extra. That's a lot, but it's
Speaker 6: not gonna be enough. And remember, once a ship leaves
Speaker 6: a port in Asi or Europe, it doesn't suddenly change course.
Speaker 6: That cargo is already or will be stuck off New York, Baltimore, Houston.
Speaker 6: But going forward, we are likely to see a shift
Speaker 6: in bookings next week.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I also wanted to point out because I think
Speaker 1: this is I don't know if it's important to the
Speaker 1: story of these guys demanding this money that they want
Speaker 1: to see more money on top of the regular thirty
Speaker 1: nine dollars that they can top out at. They want
Speaker 1: to see this seventy seven percent increase and see that
Speaker 1: go up. So, like I said, the typical longshoreman salary
Speaker 1: is over one hundred thousand dollars when you calculate in overtime,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But Harold Daggett is the international president of
Speaker 1: the International Longshoreman's Association. Harold Daggett makes seven hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty eight thousand dollars as the president of the ISLA
Speaker 1: seven hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars and on top
Speaker 1: of that another one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars
Speaker 1: as the president emeritus of the Mechanics Local Chapter at
Speaker 1: the Port Newark and New Jersey.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good job.
Speaker 1: His son, his son heads the New Jersey local that
Speaker 1: his father once led, and is now also the international
Speaker 1: Executive vice President for the International Longshoreman's Association.
Speaker 2: He has a.
Speaker 1: Total income also over seven hundred thousand dollars. Now, again,
Speaker 1: their labor their union officials, so part of their pay
Speaker 1: is coming from union stuff as opposed to them just
Speaker 1: humping cargo containers on a dock somewhere. But the head
Speaker 1: of the union making close to a million dollars a year,
Speaker 1: and his son, who took over again the local chapter,
Speaker 1: making about seven hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot. Now, what can the president do?
Speaker 1: The president has the ability under the nineteen forty seven
Speaker 1: Taft Hartleac to get a court order to send the
Speaker 1: doc workers back to work for an eighty day cooling
Speaker 1: off period in an attempt to make sure that the
Speaker 1: economy doesn't continue to take it right in the shorts.
Speaker 1: We shall see, But right now he has said President
Speaker 1: Biden that he does not want to do that. He
Speaker 1: said he wants to get these guys back into talks.
Speaker 1: He wants to make sure that there's something on the
Speaker 1: schedule that they've dealt with this before, for example the
Speaker 1: West Coast. Look, dude, this is a John talk.
Speaker 5: Because we Rember, we negotiated several more strike on the
Speaker 5: West Coast people and they work it out.
Speaker 2: It's time. They won't even talk, so let's get that done.
Speaker 1: There are no new negotiations scheduled between the International Longshoreman's
Speaker 1: Association and the employers, but the port owners, under pressure
Speaker 1: from the White House to hike their pay and offer
Speaker 1: a land deal, signed on on Wednesday that said that
Speaker 1: they were open to some new talks.
Speaker 2: So at least.
Speaker 1: Forty five container vessels now unable to load or unload.
Speaker 1: They're anchored up outside the East Coast and Gulf ports.
Speaker 1: This is going to look like, at least very soon
Speaker 1: similar to what we saw during the supply chain disruptions
Speaker 1: that hit us so hard during COVID, and it is
Speaker 1: likely that if this thing goes on for any amount
Speaker 1: of time, you're going to see inflation once again. Pick
Speaker 1: back up whose fault is? It depends? I guess which side.
Speaker 1: If you like labor, you don't like labor, that's who
Speaker 1: you're going to decide or how you're going to decide
Speaker 1: who you think is at fault for this. A couple
Speaker 1: headlines that we are following right now, just saw footage
Speaker 1: of President Biden getting update on damage and recovery efforts
Speaker 1: after Hurricane Helene made its way through Florida. He's in
Speaker 1: Florida now, also travel to George at a survey some
Speaker 1: of the damage. Mentioned that as of right now, the
Speaker 1: death sol is over two hundred people have died as
Speaker 1: a result of the carnage and the destruction. Federal prosecutors
Speaker 1: have laid out their most extensive case to date against
Speaker 1: former President Trump for his effort to overturn the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election. One hundred and sixty five page document offers
Speaker 1: some a little new detail about some of the Special
Speaker 1: Council investigation into the former president's efforts to lean on
Speaker 1: state officials to paint a narrative of fraud. Prosecutors said
Speaker 1: that Trump knew was untrue. We'll talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about it in swamp Watch about why in fact
Speaker 1: this document was even put together, and then why the
Speaker 1: judge decided to unseal it so that everybody could see it,
Speaker 1: even if it is just before the election.
Speaker 6: Hey are you doing Gary?
Speaker 2: This is Rocky out in Los Angeles? Up Rocky? Hey,
Speaker 2: we can hear Shannon bro. I think the Microsoft turn
Speaker 2: it on.
Speaker 4: Bro, Come on, we miss her doing a great job, brother,
Speaker 4: keep it up.
Speaker 2: Jacob, do you have her micro off?
Speaker 4: Is that? What?
Speaker 2: Do go Google? That's why we can't turn her microphone on.
Speaker 2: That's fascinating. Yeah, I think tomorrow we'll have it.
Speaker 1: That is a big bird, fascinating.
Speaker 2: We'll turn it on.
Speaker 1: Hello. A reminder, also, in a couple of minutes, we're
Speaker 1: going to be talking about tracking your partner, the dark
Speaker 1: side of tracking your partner's mobile phone.
Speaker 2: Do you do it?
Speaker 1: Does it get you in trouble? Or how about this question?
Speaker 1: Do you track them and they don't know you track them?
Speaker 1: You can leave us a talk back on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1: All you do is hit that little microphone button while
Speaker 1: you're listening on the app, and you can leave us
Speaker 1: a quick thirty second message or show or so. It
Speaker 1: seems as if the La Times has finally realized who
Speaker 1: is sitting in the DA's office and it's George Gascon.
Speaker 1: There is an article that came out regarding George Gascon's
Speaker 1: policies giving a teenage killer a second chance, and guess
Speaker 1: what she's charged with now killing again. In this case,
Speaker 1: it's Shenise Dyer. She was a member of the Cryps
Speaker 1: Street gang. She wanted to retaliate for killings by a
Speaker 1: rival gang in August of twenty nineteen, and the target
Speaker 1: was Alfredo Carrera and a close friend of his, who
Speaker 1: happened to be an aspiring astrophysicist and uc Irvine Vasquez
Speaker 1: was visiting his buddy Carrera to drop off a baby gift. Well,
Speaker 1: the two of them are standing there. Car pulls up
Speaker 1: Shenise Dyer's on the inside. There's an argument Shenise and
Speaker 1: a couple other people. Alicia volley of gunfire. Both men
Speaker 1: are killed and a complete innocent bystander third man down
Speaker 1: the street hid in the back with a bullet as
Speaker 1: he loaded his one year old daughter into a car seat.
Speaker 1: She eventually sent text messages taking responsibility for the shooting,
Speaker 1: said she in fact, was satisfied her word that this
Speaker 1: thing was getting the news attention that it was. She
Speaker 1: was tried as a juvenile, as a juvenile because she
Speaker 1: was seventeen. She admitted to the murder charges a couple
Speaker 1: of years later, and she was released in February.
Speaker 2: Guess what happened.
Speaker 1: It took her all of six months to get popped
Speaker 1: once again, this time for a murder in Pomona. And again,
Speaker 1: this is one of those issues where you it defies
Speaker 1: any explanation using logic, because when George Gascon came in,
Speaker 1: one of the things that he did was he said,
Speaker 1: we got to keep kids out of adult prisons in California.
Speaker 1: And one of his blanket policies when he came in
Speaker 1: was We're not going to try any juvenile as an adult,
Speaker 1: no matter how egregious the crime or even how close
Speaker 1: they are to being an adult. And again, she was
Speaker 1: seventeen when this thing happened. The juvenile policy does his
Speaker 1: does fall in line with a broader policy around the
Speaker 1: state of California, which again is to keep kids out
Speaker 1: of adult prisons, but only a dozen teenagers were tried
Speaker 1: in adult court last year. She would have could have
Speaker 1: faced life in prison for the double murder if she
Speaker 1: was tried in adult court, but she was again kept
Speaker 1: in the juvenile courts and let out in February. Six
Speaker 1: months later, she was involved with aa of Joshua Streeter,
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old guy. She lured him allegedly
Speaker 1: to a Pomona strip mall, where he was eventually shot.
Speaker 1: She did not pull the trigger, but was still charged
Speaker 1: with murder. She's doing court next month. Her attorney, of course,
Speaker 1: declined to comment. But think about think about that policy
Speaker 1: that a seventeen year old so willing to shoot somebody,
Speaker 1: that they killed two people and wound a third, and
Speaker 1: then you try them as a juvenile so that they
Speaker 1: can get out of jail in a couple of years
Speaker 1: and do the whole thing again. One of the spokespeople
Speaker 1: for George Gascon, Tiffany Blackmail, said it's unlikely that her
Speaker 1: initial case would have even met the standard to go
Speaker 1: to adult court even if George Gascon had not put
Speaker 1: his policy in place, She said, because at the time
Speaker 1: Shenise Dyer didn't have a criminal history, and that there
Speaker 1: was no sorry, that there was evidence to indicate she
Speaker 1: was told to do that by somebody in the gang.
Speaker 1: Oh in that case, ugh, I was just following orders, apparently,
Speaker 1: is the new argument.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 1: Another teen suspect involved in the killings was also tried
Speaker 1: as a juvenile and is actually doing well on probation.
Speaker 1: And then an adult suspect in those killings is still
Speaker 1: not gone to trial. It's very it's very hard now
Speaker 1: to get a teenager transferred to an adult court, in
Speaker 1: part because of a new bill. George Gascon, of course,
Speaker 1: had his hands all over. It would require prosecutors prove
Speaker 1: by clear and convincing evidence that a youth can't be
Speaker 1: rehabilitated in juvenile custody before a judge can approve a transfer.
Speaker 1: And again, that's just us sitting and waiting for the
Speaker 1: next bad thing to happen.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: She proved when she was seventeen she's incapable of making
Speaker 1: decisions about life and death, specifically the lives and deaths
Speaker 1: of other people. But we'll just give her a chance.
Speaker 1: A couple of years later, that makes perfect sense. Prosecutors
Speaker 1: have said this new standard is almost impossible to get
Speaker 1: a teenager tried in adult court.
Speaker 2: For example, there was a case in Englewood.
Speaker 1: A judge decided that a teenager who was accused of
Speaker 1: shooting his girlfriend and her sister in Westchester before setting
Speaker 1: the crime scene on fire still did not meet the
Speaker 1: standard for adult court.
Speaker 2: This is part of the reason.
Speaker 1: Again, the reason I'm even discussing this is because it's
Speaker 1: amazing that the La Times writes this in such a
Speaker 1: way that it's almost a pearl clutchy breathless, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that maybe George Gascone's policies might have
Speaker 1: added to violence and murder and death in this county.
Speaker 1: What's the reason Nathan Hakman appears to be winning. The
Speaker 1: latest polls showed that he's running against George Gascone and
Speaker 1: he's stomping him like a narke at a biker rally.
Speaker 1: Hawkmann's statement, which was included in this La Times article,
Speaker 1: said he Gascone imposed a blanket policy refusing to transfer
Speaker 1: any juveniles to criminal court under any circumstances. He rejected
Speaker 1: the recommendation of his senior prosecutors, who warned him that
Speaker 1: if he were if she if Shinise Dyer were kept
Speaker 1: in juvenile custody and released a few years, she would
Speaker 1: very likely kill again. When he was asked what he
Speaker 1: would do if he was elected DA to try to
Speaker 1: overcome the burden of law, the state law when it
Speaker 1: comes to transferring juveniles to adult courts, he said, I
Speaker 1: would never shy away from a fight.
Speaker 2: But he didn't really get into the specifics.
Speaker 1: So as a reminder, Yes, we've heard those George Gascone
Speaker 1: things that play on the air here that was not us,
Speaker 1: and it's weird. That's what I'll say, because I think
Speaker 1: that's what I can say. It's weird and we didn't
Speaker 1: do it. But Jacob can't pull him because he's contractually
Speaker 1: obligated to do the things that they tell him to do.
Speaker 1: I just play the spot. You just play the spot.
Speaker 1: You're just the button monkey, You're not the circus leader.
Speaker 2: But we appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Hi, Gary, this is Larry and I'm calling from Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4: I was listening to the issues with George Gascone and
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of wondering after he's voted out of
Speaker 4: the office. He had direct violations of the law and
Speaker 4: is ignoring of other laws and making his own law,
Speaker 4: and I'm wondering if George Gascone could be prosecuted for
Speaker 4: his malfeasons in office.
Speaker 1: Could he be prosecuted, Well, it would be up to
Speaker 1: the state attorney general, who loves George Gascon. Rob Bonta
Speaker 1: is not about to prosecute George Gascon. I don't think
Speaker 1: that would be quite a change, quite a political surprise
Speaker 1: if in fact that was the case. Hey, you track
Speaker 1: your partner, your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: It's this is different than tracking your kids.
Speaker 1: Think about this, if say, fifteen years ago, you could
Speaker 1: you said that you have an app that you can
Speaker 1: track people where they are in real time. Probably be
Speaker 1: a little bit weird, a little dystopian, if you will.
Speaker 1: But now everybody's got it. Everybody's got the ability to
Speaker 1: download these apps and track people. I track people on
Speaker 1: my phone, but I am related to all of them.
Speaker 1: I track my my wife, trying to remember my wife
Speaker 1: and my two kids. I did have my mom and
Speaker 1: dad on the on my find my iPhone, but for
Speaker 1: one thing, they're dead, and for the other thing, the
Speaker 1: phone is disconnected. So I don't follow that. There was
Speaker 1: one last final location and then that was it.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: But there is a question that's going around about the
Speaker 1: health of tracking your intimate partners using your mobile phone,
Speaker 1: and the basic conclusion is, it appears it depends on
Speaker 1: the health of your relationship whether it's a healthy thing.
Speaker 1: For example, a thirty year old Millie says, my partner
Speaker 1: and I recently started sharing our locations and can say
Speaker 1: for certain we use it for convenience, so if one
Speaker 1: of us is checking what we're checking, if one of
Speaker 1: us is home from work or back from a night out,
Speaker 1: I personally like knowing that he has my location for
Speaker 1: safety reasons or for trying to meet one another out somewhere.
Speaker 2: It's an easy way to gauge timing somebody.
Speaker 1: Grace, a thirty year old, lives in Los Angeles and
Speaker 1: says this is important because we use it to surprise
Speaker 1: each other the positive aspect. For example, if I'm planning
Speaker 1: a surprise romantic dinner, I want to know how close
Speaker 1: to he is so I know when to put dinner
Speaker 1: on the table. Another one says, I'm keenly aware of
Speaker 1: potential weather hazards where we live and potential crime, and
Speaker 1: we also deal with heavy traffic. Sometimes I start to
Speaker 1: wonder if my husband's okay on his drive back from
Speaker 1: work and I can see that he is simply stuck
Speaker 1: in traffic, and not to worry. There are others who
Speaker 1: say that this has literally been a life saver. Meg
Speaker 1: she got a call from her boyfriend at about two
Speaker 1: in the morning one time, and he said he was
Speaker 1: in a car accident, but his phone was dying and
Speaker 1: he couldn't figure out where he was because he was
Speaker 1: sitting in his overturned car. She said she was able
Speaker 1: to find him on Life three point sixty, one of
Speaker 1: those location apps, and was able to find his car
Speaker 1: flipped over in a ditch and saved his life. Of course,
Speaker 1: monitoring your every move of your partner could reveal things
Speaker 1: you don't want to. For example, Strava is a running
Speaker 1: app where you can map out your workouts. A woman
Speaker 1: says that she was tracking her army boyfriend and realized
Speaker 1: that he ran past, paused around, or ended at an
Speaker 1: address where a female army unit partner lived, and she
Speaker 1: caught him having an affair with this other person.
Speaker 2: So that's just the question.
Speaker 1: We'll revisit this here in a little bit, But do
Speaker 1: you track your intimate partner and have you found out
Speaker 1: anything that you shouldn't have found out when you did, though, Hey,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit later. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do swamp Watch when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 1: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
Speaker 1: can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
Speaker 1: nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
