00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>There was an absolutely tragic, awful story out of Baldwin

5
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Park just this weekend. A young Baldwin Park police officer

6
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>was killed in a shooting late Saturday, also left a

7
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>civilian dead another officer injured. Sheriff Luna gave the basics

8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>of what we knew later that night in a very

9
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>late night news conference.

10
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Officers from the Baldwin Park Police Department responded to a

11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 3>calls for service of gunshots and a person down, and

12
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>as the chief said, for these officers, they didn't hesitate.

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 3>They get a dispatch, somebody may need help, their shots fired,

14
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.600
<v Speaker 3>they go right over there without hesitation. That's what these

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>men and women do every day.

16
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Sheriff thus said that other officers then came in to help.

17
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 4>After the shots were fired at the original.

18
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Other officers immediately went to their assistance. An officer involved

19
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>shooting did occur at that time. I can't tell you

20
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>how many officers fired at this time. That's still being investigated.

21
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.239
<v Speaker 3>How many shots were fired, that's all still being investigated.

22
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 3>But the suspect was struck with gunfire and he was

23
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

24
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>So again, Originally, when the call came in the nine

25
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>one one, callers said, it didn't appear that this guy

26
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>was shooting in any specific direction. He wasn't aiming at

27
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>anyone or anything in particular. He's just peeling off shots.

28
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>One of the neighbors across the street said he initially

29
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>thought he was here in firecrackers. We hear that pretty commonly,

30
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>but then saw this guy with a rifle still. The

31
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>neighbor across the street called the man's grandmother she was

32
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>apparently inside the house, and warned her to hide under

33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 2>a bed to not let her grandson back inside. The

34
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>neighbor said grandma told grandma before going inside. His own home,

35
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>he said he couldn't see any other part of what happened,

36
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>but was obviously shaken up. This happened right next to

37
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>his house. When the officers did show up, Officer Samuel

38
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Riveros and another officer, and they immediately traded shots with

39
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>this guy. There was another person who was apparently shot.

40
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>They just don't know the timeline of all of it.

41
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>That other person hasn't been identified. Who was shot and

42
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>dead on the street. In fact, this other neighbor said

43
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>she came out after the shooting and saw the body.

44
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 5>I came outside and then I saw a body playing

45
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 5>on the floor and he didn't move.

46
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Robert Lopez is the chief of police there in Baldwin Park.

47
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 6>It's extremely tragic. You have to deal with this. I

48
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 6>asked for your prayers. I asked for the community to

49
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 6>remember the officers and the deputies said go out there

50
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 6>every day pushing a black and white making it safe

51
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 6>for all of our families, our residents, and the community

52
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 6>as well.

53
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>So the tributes to Officer Riveros are pouring in. We've

54
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>been seeing law enforcement officers from different agencies around southern

55
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 2>California who have shown up to Baldwin Park Police headquarters

56
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>for what has become sort of a growing memorial there

57
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>for Samuel Riveros. In terms of the people who have

58
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 2>talked about him, they said that he loved the Dodgers.

59
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>They said he was an avid snowboarder. He became a

60
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement officer after he got a degree in criminology,

61
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Law and Society U c. Irvine, played lacrosse there. He

62
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>mentored youth in Orange County as part of the Criminology

63
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>outreach program, survived by a mother and a sister. Some

64
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 2>of the co workers and neighbors by the way talked

65
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 2>to a couple of different TV stations about this guy.

66
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 7>I remember always seeing him smile and just loving to

67
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 7>show up to work and just give it us all.

68
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 5>As soon as I heard that there was a police

69
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 5>officer that got shot at Walden Park, you know, me

70
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 5>and my like friends that worked with him or worked

71
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 5>together were like, Oh my gosh, I just I hope

72
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 5>it's not Sam.

73
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 4>I hope it's not Sam, because he was one of

74
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 4>our favorites.

75
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's just so sweet and just just a

76
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 5>great person.

77
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 7>To see one of our own, you know, hear.

78
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 4>The tragedy is just heartbreaking.

79
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>So at this point, they haven't said the specifics of

80
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>a memorial, although there were reports this morning that memorial

81
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>for Officer Riveros will probably be held some time late

82
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>this week Friday.

83
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of what they're looking for.

84
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll definitely bring you details about that, because this is,

85
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, a thirty five year old officer was still

86
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>way too young. Any officers too young to be killed

87
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>in the line of duty like that. This suspect. By

88
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the way we did Mention was shot and is recovering.

89
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Suffered some min wounds after being shot by officers before

90
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>they were able to take him into custody. There is

91
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 2>a brand new computer program that should make you bang

92
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>your head against a wall.

93
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 4>Summers around the corner.

94
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 2>The California Department of Office of Emergency Services has put

95
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 2>out a new map. I will tell you how much

96
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>money this map costs, and it will make you bang

97
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 2>your head against the wall even more. Why we need

98
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a new heat ranking tool for our warm summers in California.

99
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

100
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty.

101
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 7>So this comment is to you, Jerry, I don't hear you.

102
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, did he say, Jerry.

103
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 7>Well, this comment is to you, Jerry, I don't hear

104
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 7>you condemning Ukraine on attacking Russia and taking things to

105
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 7>new levels now and continuing the war, extending it further

106
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 7>and further. But I guess we know now where you stand.

107
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 4>Oh, got me? I guess Jerry?

108
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Why I don't understand that mentality that Ukraine doesn't have

109
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to defend itself. That's something I don't quite

110
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>understand about that whole argument, But anyway, Gavin Newsom made

111
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a big announcement on Friday. Gavin Newsom has announced the

112
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>launch of col Heat Score. The Office of Emergency Services

113
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>says that this is a cutting edge tool to forecast

114
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and rank heat severity risks in the state of California. Yes,

115
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 2>a couple couple of weeks before summer actually officially starts

116
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>here in California and everywhere, But this breathless announcement doesn't

117
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 2>make a whole lot of sense to make just.

118
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.240
<v Speaker 8>Launched a new ranking system, first in the nation, to

119
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 8>deal with extreme heat, similar to what we do in

120
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 8>categories with hurricanes and tropical storms. California's new Heat Score

121
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 8>will be a six code level heat map to prepare

122
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 8>to deal with the impacts of extreme heat, to provide

123
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 8>resources and have a resourceful mindset to keep people safe.

124
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 8>The number one cause of weather related death is extreme heat.

125
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 8>So please take it serious and please take a look

126
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 8>at the Heat score website.

127
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's a website, it's not necessarily an app, but

128
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>it is used in the same way. And they say

129
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>that this cal Heat Score identifies groups most susceptible to

130
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>extreme heat. Do you know who that is, Well, yeah,

131
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>it's the oldest people and the youngest people, and who

132
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 2>are the least likely to go onto a website to

133
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>check how warm it's going to be exactly the oldest

134
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 2>people and the youngest people. All so, it says the tool,

135
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>and I hate the way that people write this. There's

136
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>got to be a complete retooling of press release writing quote.

137
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>The tool additionally integrates other important data sets like locations

138
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 2>for the nearest cooling centers. We make fun we hear

139
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.439
<v Speaker 2>on the show, and I think a lot of people

140
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 2>make fun of local television listen.

141
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 4>I will say there are radio stations who do it too.

142
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>When the heat is going to be triple digits, well,

143
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>guess what. In the twenty years that I've lived here

144
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>in southern California, the valley always hits triple digits in

145
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the summer, always, and we always do stories about stay

146
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>in the shade, make sure you wear light clothing. Maybe

147
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you'd take a time to go see a movie in

148
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 2>the heat of the day, go to a pool, stay hydrated, check.

149
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 4>On your older neighbors.

150
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Those are the it's lazy, lazy reporting when people do that.

151
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>If you need to tell people that it's going to

152
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 2>be triple digit temperatures. Tell people it's going to be

153
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>triple digit temperatures. Don't give them, in this case, this

154
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 2>cow heat score thing. Don't give them a one to

155
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>four scale of how hot it's going to be, because

156
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to change anybody's behavior. How much, oh

157
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.519
<v Speaker 2>how much is what you're at? How much did it cost?

158
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 2>That's a great question. Approximately thirty million dollars. Now there

159
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>are discrepancies. I've seen one that it was twenty three

160
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>million just for the col Heat Score, but the Office

161
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>of Emergency Services release also says that there was an

162
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 2>additional thirty two point four million dollars to support several

163
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>different California communities in life saving extreme heat mitigation efforts.

164
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 2>There is a program called the Extreme Heat and Community

165
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Resilience Program to combat dangerous heat exposure by building long

166
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>lasting infrastructure solutions. I can't get through this. I just

167
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 2>can't read through this. And they refer to this as

168
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>a first in the nation heat ranking tool. Well, since

169
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I started in the business of news twenty five thirty

170
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>years ago, I've constantly kept up on weather.

171
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>For some reason.

172
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>That's what everybody wants to ask about they think I

173
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>know the answer to it.

174
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm flattered that you think I know.

175
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>And I do make a habit of keeping an eye

176
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 2>on what the weather's going to be like, but more

177
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>out of curiosity than anything.

178
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:35.960
<v Speaker 4>And you know how I do that.

179
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>One of three different weather apps I have on my phone,

180
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 2>or a couple of different websites that you can go

181
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>to very quickly, or the television station or the actual

182
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>thermometer that's outside your house. You can do all of

183
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 2>those things. You don't need a thirty two million dollar

184
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 2>program to tell you that it's going to be hot

185
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>in California. The Director of the Office of Emergency Services says,

186
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 2>this helps increase our readiness for heat events and protect

187
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>those at greatest risk. Or it was a way to

188
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>spend thirty two million dollars that wasn't your money.

189
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 4>There's also that.

190
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 2>It's one of those things where, yes, we talk about

191
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>government waste, and we talk about fraud, and we talk

192
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.679
<v Speaker 2>about abuse, but we also talk about things that the

193
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 2>government is not great at. The government is now replicating

194
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>something that has existed in the private sector for decades,

195
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.519
<v Speaker 2>and that is weather forecasting.

196
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know, there are huge the.

197
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Backbone of weather forecasting is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

198
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Association and the National Weather Service. Yes they're required, Yes

199
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>they're important. But the idea that somehow California is going

200
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>to shed some light on how hot it's going to

201
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>be in July and that they believe that that thirty

202
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.159
<v Speaker 2>two million dollars is going to save someone's life is

203
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a stretch to me, to put it easily, to put

204
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it lightly, it's a stretch. We've talked about Kamala Harris

205
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>and this decision upcoming whether or not she's going to

206
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 2>run for governor. Spoiler alert, She's totally going to run

207
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.559
<v Speaker 2>for governor, but there are people who say, yeah, do that,

208
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>run for governor. Stay out of the national spotlight. We'll

209
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.879
<v Speaker 2>explain sort of this ongoing discussion about her future in

210
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party coming up next.

211
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.279
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

212
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty.

213
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Sad Death as well. Emmy winning composer whose music was

214
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>absolutely essential for the TV show The Simpsons for twenty

215
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 2>seven years, has died. Alf Clawson if you remember the

216
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>name from the credits, of course, he died after a

217
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>pretty lengthy deal with Parkinson's.

218
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 4>He was eighty four years old.

219
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>He also scored a bunch of different TV series Moonlighting

220
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 2>alf he used to say no relation. He was nominated

221
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>for thirty Emmy Awards. One of those nominations came while

222
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>he was working for The Simpsons h and he won.

223
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>He won two Emmys during his lifetime.

224
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 9>Hey, Jerry and Sharon, it's crazy to me that that

225
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 9>one guy called up almost defending the illegal guy from Egypt,

226
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.639
<v Speaker 9>and then the other guy that just took the view

227
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 9>that Ukraine doesn't have a right to defend himself. It's amazing, amazing.

228
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.159
<v Speaker 4>It's a crazy Monday. Perhaps that's Gary.

229
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 8>For some reason.

230
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 4>Today it seems like the idiots are out in force

231
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 4>and they're all calling your station, your show. Hopefully I'm

232
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 4>not one of them. Well, have a good rest to

233
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 4>your show.

234
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Bye.

235
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.399
<v Speaker 4>Thank you appreciate that, Gary, I mean Gary, I mean Gary,

236
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 4>I really enjoyed the show.

237
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Crack.

238
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 7>You know, because he's not the only one that has

239
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:50.919
<v Speaker 7>called you Jerry.

240
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 4>Don't you remember when you had Robert Kennedy jr Arry too.

241
00:13:59.080 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 8>A good day?

242
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 4>Yes, thank you.

243
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

244
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>We did have RFK Junior on during the campaign and

245
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>he called me Jerry. That's a you know, I guess

246
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a badge of honor, if you will. So this

247
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:20.559
<v Speaker 2>weekend in Anaheim, Democrats got together for their state convention,

248
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 2>and about a half a dozen different candidates for governor,

249
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>at least the ones who have announced, kind of went

250
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>from room to room, glad handing, talking with each other,

251
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>talking with the potential supporters. We're talking Katie Porter, the congresswoman,

252
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 2>former congresswoman, former mayor Via Ragosa, former Health and Human

253
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Services secretary, but Sarah a handful of others of Lady

254
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Cunelacis and Tony Atkins and Betty Yee, all of them

255
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.919
<v Speaker 2>out there kind of shaking hands, kissing babies, that sort

256
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 2>of thing, getting ready for what will be a pretty contentious,

257
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 2>especially on the Democrat side, a pretty contentious campaign for

258
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 2>governor next year. The one person missing, I mean, she

259
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.519
<v Speaker 2>did make an appearance in a video, but the one

260
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>person missing from that whole team was Kamala Harris. The

261
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 2>people who are closest to her continue to say that

262
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 2>she'll decide if she's going to run for governor by

263
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>late summer, and I keep telling you the spoiler alert

264
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 2>is she is going to run.

265
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 4>For governor, because what else is she going to do.

266
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>She has been very low key though, and some Democrats

267
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>are happy about that, some are not happy about that.

268
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>And if you Washington posted series of did a series

269
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 2>of interviews with people that were at the party convention

270
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 2>this weekend in Anaheim and asked specifically about sort of

271
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.879
<v Speaker 2>the elephant that wasn't in the room. Pardon the bad pun,

272
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>because I know the elephant. The donkey doesn't matter, but

273
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 2>she wasn't there. She did, in a video message on

274
00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Saturday encourage people to keep fighting Republicans, fight their efforts

275
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to cut healthcare, fight to cut education or all of

276
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. And a lot of people cheered, but that

277
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>doesn't necessarily mean that they support whatever she's got going on. Next,

278
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 2>to make that point, there was a woman who canvassed

279
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 2>for Kamala Harris in Reno and Las Vegas during the

280
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.039
<v Speaker 2>campaign and says in the answer to the question of

281
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>whether she would be a good governor, this woman said,

282
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I think she'd be fine. That's not a rousing endorsement

283
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>by anyway. I think she'd be fine, and then asks

284
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>she's already been a state leader, right, well, yeah, because

285
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.440
<v Speaker 2>she was an attorney general. She said, it's just that

286
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>she lost the presidential race, and she's been almost gone.

287
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 4>We don't hear from her, we don't see her.

288
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 2>And this woman describes herself as a sixty three year

289
00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>old professor, and again she canvassed for Kamala Harris, she said,

290
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and she wants to see a more quote unapologetically progressive

291
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>nominee for governor in the state of California, which is

292
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>crazy considering how progressive each of these candidates is going

293
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to claim to be in order to get to the

294
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>top of the primary. This sixty three year old professor says,

295
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>if Kamala Harris runs, she hopes she's gonna get some

296
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 2>fire outside the trappings of a presidential campaign, because she

297
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>really just needs to be herself. There are different people

298
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>who had suggested that even if she wasn't the perfect

299
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 2>presidential candidate. There was another one who said that obviously

300
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.960
<v Speaker 2>she expects to see some fresh scrutiny on a. Kamala

301
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Harris's record as attorney general. She did say coming back

302
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 2>to California as a whole other story. She has history here,

303
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.880
<v Speaker 2>and the expectation, at least spot from that voter potential

304
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 2>supporter is she would blow the other six or so

305
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Democrats out of the water. Now that's the California version.

306
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:06.920
<v Speaker 2>There was something else that was going on in South

307
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Carolina this weekend as well, because the South Carolina Party

308
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:16.119
<v Speaker 2>convention was this weekend and she also played a role

309
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.480
<v Speaker 2>in that one. We'll explain what happened in South Carolina

310
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.200
<v Speaker 2>when we come back.

311
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.680
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

312
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.799
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty.

313
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned that this weekend there were two separate state

314
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Democrat conventions, one in Anaheim for California Democrats and one

315
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>in Columbia, South Carolina for Democrats in that state. And

316
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>one of the big names that was not present at

317
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>either one of them, but was talked about plenty was

318
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris and what she's going to be doing going forward.

319
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people, a lot of money, I think

320
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 2>is probably the more important way to put it. A

321
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of money is on the sidelines right now in

322
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the California governor's race, because you've got a handful of

323
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.279
<v Speaker 2>people on the Demo's side who have announced that they

324
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>are going to be running for governor. A couple of them,

325
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 2>think Javier Bursera Antonio vir Ragosa have said they will

326
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 2>not get out if Kamala Harris jumps in, even though

327
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty likely that she would. But the fundraisers, the

328
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 2>money behind those campaigns, they have been keeping pretty quiet.

329
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>They're not making big splashes with giant donations to anyone

330
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 2>yet because I think they are all waiting for an

331
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 2>official announcement from Kamala Harris.

332
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Now.

333
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 2>One person who was at both of those conventions because

334
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of a very long travel day, was Kamala Harris's running mate,

335
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Governor Tim Walls, and he tries to be this guy

336
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 2>who pulls no punches when it comes to explaining what's

337
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>wrong with the Democratic Party.

338
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>We for some reason are like super cautious that we

339
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.680
<v Speaker 1>might say something that offends somebody. We might say something

340
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 1>that offends the Republicans.

341
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 3>Because of the way they're acting. You can't appease dictators.

342
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.319
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people, at least in California, as

343
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned in the last segment, who are kind of

344
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 2>on the fence about Kamala Harris. And I thought the

345
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 2>one point I didn't make in the first one segment

346
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 2>was some people believe that if she does run for governor,

347
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.599
<v Speaker 2>she's then immediately going to turn around and run for president.

348
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.039
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty eight get back up on that ticket,

349
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>despite the fact that she did historically underperform against Donald

350
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Trump in California. I think she listen, she beat him.

351
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 2>She beat Trump in California, that's obvious. But she only

352
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 2>beat him by twenty points. Joe Biden beat him by

353
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.720
<v Speaker 2>thirty points.

354
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker 7>Though.

355
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Was it her candidacy, was it the Biden presidency? What

356
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.200
<v Speaker 2>was it that caused that to happen? And is she

357
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.279
<v Speaker 2>able to recover from that and get back on the

358
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>top of the ticket. Not everybody believes that that's the case.

359
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>In South Carolina, there was an interesting attitude of you

360
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 2>did your job as vice president, you took over the

361
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Democratic ticket when Biden's step down, and you lost, so

362
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 2>you had your shot. And again, this is what some

363
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:12.640
<v Speaker 2>people in South Carolina are saying. They want her to

364
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:16.400
<v Speaker 2>run for governor in South Carolina. I mean they want

365
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>her in South Carolina to run for governor in California because,

366
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.960
<v Speaker 2>and this is the way one Democratic strategist put it,

367
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I think she should run for governor and be the

368
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 2>best governor California has ever had, because they wanted to

369
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>be a graceful exit from the national stage that there

370
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>are some Democrats who are willing to come out and

371
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>publicly say thank you for your service. It's someone else's

372
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:47.039
<v Speaker 2>turn that you historically underperformed, even what Joe Biden perhaps

373
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.400
<v Speaker 2>might have had if you were to have stayed in

374
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the race. I don't know if that's the case. You

375
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 2>can never you know, you can't prove a negative like that.

376
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 2>You can't prove something that's super unknown. But I thought

377
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 2>that was interesting that in the different states, South Carolina

378
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and California, there are similar attitudes about what they're going

379
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 2>to do going forward with Kamala Harris, what do you

380
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.799
<v Speaker 2>do with a problem like Kamala? All right, coming up,

381
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>swamp Watch, we'll talk about some stuff going on in

382
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 2>DC and a reminder, leave us a talkback.

383
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Tell us what's wrong with youth sports today.

384
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Are you in the midst of travel ball season right now,

385
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 2>wrapping it up, getting into the regional playoffs and things

386
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:25.319
<v Speaker 2>like that.

387
00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 4>Let us know what's going on.
