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. Yes, it is ash Wednesday. What
Speaker 1: are you watching? It's also what you watch on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so let us know. I haven't seen much response at
Speaker 1: least on Twitter at Gary and Shannon, but if you
Speaker 1: want to let us know, you can use a talk
Speaker 1: back feature as well on the iHeartRadio app. I started
Speaker 1: Paradise because Amy King and Deborah Mark told me to,
Speaker 1: and it was, as advertised, very good, just two episodes in,
Speaker 1: but pretty darn good of course.
Speaker 2: Everyone.
Speaker 1: A lot of people watched or listened to the President's address,
Speaker 1: and coming up next we'll get into where we're standing
Speaker 1: on the tariffs. No opinions, not gonna give any opinions,
Speaker 1: just what happened today, because the tariffs went into effect
Speaker 1: yesterday at midnight. The President touched on them in his address,
Speaker 1: and then the Commerce Secretary came out this morning and
Speaker 1: said there may be some backpedaling when it comes to
Speaker 1: these tariffs because what they saw happened on Wall Street.
Speaker 1: So there have been some changes made today. There could
Speaker 1: be some more changes made today. So we'll have all
Speaker 1: of that broken down for you coming up next.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, what else is going on? Time for
Speaker 2: what's happening? Wow? Steps.
Speaker 1: We have two systems of rain that are here in
Speaker 1: the area. Well one is here, the next is on
Speaker 1: the way. They say there are potential thunderstorms and the
Speaker 1: danger for of course to brief flow in the burn areas.
Speaker 1: We're just getting light to moderate showers resulting in about
Speaker 1: a half inch or less in this first wave of
Speaker 1: rain today and into tomorrow. They say that it moved
Speaker 1: across the central coast and the pre dawn areas that
Speaker 1: arrived in Santa Barbara, Ventura, and we're going to get
Speaker 1: some pretty good rain tomorrow around noon, that's when they say,
Speaker 1: and then we are going to get another system, going
Speaker 1: to get some colder temperatures and some thunderstorms. So yes,
Speaker 1: Sierra Madre is one of the areas near the burn,
Speaker 1: near the Altadena Burn area. If you don't know that
Speaker 1: that section of La County Sierra Madres right next door,
Speaker 1: and they have issued an evacuation warning as well. Sierra Madre.
Speaker 1: What a beautiful community, a lot of little canyons in
Speaker 1: their tiny streets, not a lot of room for cars
Speaker 1: and fire engines or clean up crews or any of that.
Speaker 1: So that advisory became at six began at six a m. Today,
Speaker 1: will last until least six a m. On Friday. The
Speaker 1: areas there that are affected border the Angelus National Forests,
Speaker 1: so you can check out on the city website if
Speaker 1: that affects you. They did similar things before the storm
Speaker 1: in mid February, since they Eton fire burned a bunch
Speaker 1: of vegetation that backs up to Sierra Madre there. We
Speaker 1: told you about this news as it was breaking, and
Speaker 1: Lake County filing a lawsuit today against Southern California Edison,
Speaker 1: hoping to recover costs and damages by that eaten fire
Speaker 1: thanks to faulty equipment. We talked about PGNE and Paradise
Speaker 1: and how's it is a real hard thing to do
Speaker 1: for these utilities to keep up with aging infrastructure, and
Speaker 1: because of that, you're seeing them spark more problems as
Speaker 1: we move into either even more even more time of
Speaker 1: usage of these old things that they've got up there
Speaker 1: in our communities. The Eaten fire bringing more than fourteen
Speaker 1: thousand acres and seventeen people dying in that one, so
Speaker 1: quite the lawsuit. We knew that was coming, but like
Speaker 1: I said earlier, finally the paperwork filed on that. Karen
Speaker 1: Bass back in the news today. People who do not
Speaker 1: enjoy Karen Bass have formed a fundraising committee to pursue
Speaker 1: a recall campaign.
Speaker 2: That's going to be tough to.
Speaker 1: Do with a Democrat with roots in California politics like
Speaker 1: Karen Bass. There was quite the pr hit that she
Speaker 1: suffered this week. Yesterday when OUs did fire Chief Kristin
Speaker 1: Crowley made her plea before the city council saying, hey,
Speaker 1: Karen Bass straight up lied. Those were not her words,
Speaker 1: but that was the reading between the lines. Karen Bass
Speaker 1: straight up led about me and what I didn't do
Speaker 1: or what I did wrong when it came to the fires,
Speaker 1: and she took her shots at Karen Bass. Now it
Speaker 1: became of nothing in terms of her keeping her job
Speaker 1: Kristin Crowley, but a couple dings there on Karen Bass yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know if those will land or stick around,
Speaker 1: but she's taken some heat over the fact that she
Speaker 1: left town when the fires were burning and tried to
Speaker 1: blame other people when she came back again. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much blame lands on individuals. When you looked
Speaker 1: at that weather event, you can say that they should
Speaker 1: have prepared better. Sure, I'll give you that, but man,
Speaker 1: those were for fires of Lisa Palisades.
Speaker 2: There was no time to get out in front of
Speaker 2: that thing.
Speaker 1: But they're not perfect Karen Bass, Kristin Crowley, definitely imperfect politicians.
Speaker 1: So this filing was submitted. They are going to raise
Speaker 1: money to put the recall on the ballot again an
Speaker 1: uphill climb or a Democrat in a place like Los
Speaker 1: Angeles to recall a Democrat. Kristin Crowley, speaking of has
Speaker 1: a new job. She is arranging paper clips in the
Speaker 1: basement at the LA Fire Department.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 1: But apparently her new title is Assistant Chief of LA
Speaker 1: Fire Department's Operations Valley Bureau. That doesn't sound good. That
Speaker 1: sounds like she's looking for her red stapler somewhere and
Speaker 1: her desk keeps getting moved. You're not going to hear
Speaker 1: from Kristin Crowley. I don't think again. Pope Francis again
Speaker 1: the update we gave it to you. He has increased
Speaker 1: his physical therapy. He's onto the PT. He may turn
Speaker 1: the corner on this thing. They say his condition is stable.
Speaker 1: He's gotten ashes for lent. He called a parish priest
Speaker 1: in Gaza today. He's on the phone. He's receiving the
Speaker 1: high flow oxygen therapy during the day, he's getting the
Speaker 1: oxygen mask at night. Seems to be doing pretty good
Speaker 1: at the onset of onset of lent. And then also
Speaker 1: let's see here Coldplay working with FIFA to produce the
Speaker 1: first ever World Cup final halftime show for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: How long is the halftime when it comes to football,
Speaker 1: I don't even know, But anyway, Chris Martin working to
Speaker 1: create the first Super Bowl style halftime show. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: this hasn't been done. I mean, there are all more
Speaker 1: eyes on the World Cup globally right than there would
Speaker 1: be the Super Bowl. I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2: It's saying that it's a max of fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Okay, fifteen minute's about right. That would be the same
Speaker 1: as for a superl They extended a little bit a
Speaker 1: few minutes for that. But I'm surprised this hasn't been
Speaker 1: done yet. It seems like they've left a lot of
Speaker 1: money on the table not having a massive halftime show
Speaker 1: whatever you call halftime at a soccer match. Producer Michelle
Speaker 1: did the homework in terms of their other babies, Jackie
Speaker 1: and Shadow, who we've been watching, you guys. This live
Speaker 1: cam went up in twenty twelve, so we've had thousands
Speaker 1: of people watch this thing, some of them every day,
Speaker 1: Red Flag, but I do get it.
Speaker 2: It's very it's very therapeutic to watch the.
Speaker 1: Live cam of Jackie and Shadow and their beautiful nest,
Speaker 1: beautiful overlook there and Big Bear, and they have had
Speaker 1: several babies.
Speaker 2: They've had four, They've laid fourteen eggs.
Speaker 1: Michelle has her eagletancestry dot com business up and running.
Speaker 1: Jackie and Shadow have laid fourteen eggs. Five have hatched,
Speaker 1: three surviving into adulthood. In twenty nineteen, Simba and Cookie hatched.
Speaker 1: Cookie was killed in a snowstorm, but Simba survived. Listen,
Speaker 1: it's nature sometimes this happens, guys, all right. Twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: Stormy and BBB by the name of Big Bear Baby
Speaker 1: Stormy and BBB hatched. BBB unfortunately did not survive after
Speaker 1: a severe rainstorm, but Stormy did. Interesting right, Stormy survived
Speaker 1: the storm. Twenty twenty two, one egg hatched and survived.
Speaker 1: That egg is spirit. Spirit's been seen out and about.
Speaker 1: According to Amy King, last year not a good year,
Speaker 1: or twenty twenty three not a good year. Three eggs,
Speaker 1: none hatched, But today this week two have hatched again.
Speaker 1: We've got a baby storm coming in to give the
Speaker 1: babies a little dose of real life. But the people
Speaker 1: that watch Jackie in Shadow are more than confident.
Speaker 2: That they will be okay.
Speaker 1: All right, we wanted to break down the big news
Speaker 1: of the day for you right now with all of
Speaker 1: the tariffs going on the tariff news, it's been forty
Speaker 1: eight hours a little bit more than since the tariffs
Speaker 1: on all goods from Canada and Mexico were put into
Speaker 1: place by the President and the Trump administration. Today, the
Speaker 1: big news is that Trump has agreed to a one
Speaker 1: month reprieve for autos, so automobile imports a qualify for
Speaker 1: duty free treatment under the North American Trade Agreement that
Speaker 1: was no negotiated during US first term, So one month,
Speaker 1: no tariffs. This followed a telephone conversation with executives from
Speaker 1: what they call the Big Three, this is GM Ford
Speaker 1: and Stilantis, and they got on the horn to say, hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta do something here. And you know how important
Speaker 1: the auto industry is to this country. That needs no
Speaker 1: more detail of the automakers, over the past several decades
Speaker 1: has have developed should say, complex supply chains that crossed
Speaker 1: North American borders multiple times.
Speaker 2: So your car may be made.
Speaker 1: In America, but parts of it may be made in
Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico. I believe that's the case with my
Speaker 1: GMC truck, my canyon. I believe that it was made
Speaker 1: in Missouri something of that nature, but there are parts
Speaker 1: made in Mexico. I know my first GMC truck five
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, the S fifteen, that was made in Mexico,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But anyway, there's different parts, there's different
Speaker 1: It's cheaper to make certain things in different areas.
Speaker 2: We know this.
Speaker 1: And so for these car companies, they're saying that we
Speaker 1: cross the border all the time with the parts and
Speaker 1: the cars, and this is just not tenable for us.
Speaker 1: So the President listened and he does not want to
Speaker 1: disrupt those supply lines. And then there's this The tariffs
Speaker 1: would have increased the cost of the typical new car
Speaker 1: by more than ten thousand dollars. It's the first time
Speaker 1: I've seen a figure. You knew it was going to
Speaker 1: be a lot. You knew it wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: fifty cents per avocado. The weather they're talking about with
Speaker 1: the produce, that's not great either, but ten thousand dollars
Speaker 1: more for a new car. Ford CEO Jim Farley last
Speaker 1: month warned that these tariffs, left untouched, would blow a
Speaker 1: hole in the US industry and give Asian and European
Speaker 1: producers a distinct competitive advantage. You just go to the
Speaker 1: table with Trump with that knowledge, and he's going to
Speaker 1: play ball with you. The fact that that Asia and
Speaker 1: Europe would get a competitive advantage over American car makers,
Speaker 1: that will not stand. So the White House Press Secretary said,
Speaker 1: we spoke with the Big three. We're going to do
Speaker 1: this one month exemption. We don't know how long this
Speaker 1: stay of execution will last. Trump did vow last night
Speaker 1: in his address to move ahead on April second with
Speaker 1: a new plan for reciprocal tariffs. This means it's going
Speaker 1: to be a sharp increase when it comes to US
Speaker 1: border levies. The Dow did rise on this announcement today.
Speaker 1: It was up let's see lesson about one percent in
Speaker 1: early afternoon trading. It got a little bit of a
Speaker 1: bump earlier in the day when Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick
Speaker 1: went on Fox Business and said, we may be backpedaling
Speaker 1: some of these tariffs. There may be an announcement as
Speaker 1: soon as today. We know jd Vance has a trip
Speaker 1: to go to the US Mexico border. We don't know
Speaker 1: if more will be announced then, although I doubt that
Speaker 1: Trump would give jd Vance that kind of announcement power.
Speaker 1: Maybe who knows, but we'll see what goes on. Lutnix
Speaker 1: seemed to kind of be vague when it came to
Speaker 1: the tariffs. He said today on Bloomberg TV, the President
Speaker 1: is listening to offers from Mexico and Canada and that
Speaker 1: he's thinking about trying to do something in the middle,
Speaker 1: So that to me means negotiations are open. Lutnik also
Speaker 1: said that the terriffs would probably not cover not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent of all products, but also not none. There'll
Speaker 1: be some sort of tariffs, but it's not going to
Speaker 1: be everything we get from Canada and everything from Mexico.
Speaker 1: Retailers say us if you're not buying a new car,
Speaker 1: if you're going to the grocery store, like we're all
Speaker 1: want to do that. We're going to notice higher prices
Speaker 1: in the produce aisle, probably first, probably this week. Strawberries, bananas,
Speaker 1: avocados and other produce from Mexico are going to get
Speaker 1: expensive this week.
Speaker 2: Why well, because.
Speaker 1: In the winter, we rely on Mexico for these things
Speaker 1: because they can grow them in the winter where we cannot,
Speaker 1: and there are short supply chains for fruits and edges.
Speaker 1: So that is what we're gonna see. Also, just already,
Speaker 1: food prices have been ticking up in recent months. Grocery
Speaker 1: prices are up twenty eight percent since twenty twenty, and
Speaker 1: they just jumped to half percent over the past couple months,
Speaker 1: which is the biggest increase in two years. And I
Speaker 1: know I hate numbers on the radio, but I mean
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent since twenty twenty at the grocery store.
Speaker 1: If you grocery shop, if you're the person who grocery
Speaker 1: shops in your family, you've seen this.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't even want to look at what something
Speaker 1: costs because, oh my goodness, I mean the eggs alone
Speaker 1: while we were going through that's the bird flu and
Speaker 1: all that. But just everything seems so much more expensive.
Speaker 1: It's time for what you watch on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: The following program is brought to you in living colors,
Speaker 2: but you watch it in there. Americans love television. They
Speaker 2: wean their kids.
Speaker 1: On its USA television. Much bet that you've been watching
Speaker 1: too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 2: Good term.
Speaker 1: Oh, we have a trio of trailers up on our
Speaker 1: web page at Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty
Speaker 1: dot com. You can check them out. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: going to do coming up in the break. Mobland is
Speaker 1: up there. Good American Family, as well as the name
Speaker 1: of something that I wrote down and I can't read
Speaker 1: my own writing pulling it up, the assessment, excuse me,
Speaker 1: the assessment. So we've got the trailers for Mobland from Paramount,
Speaker 1: plus Good American Family from Hulu and the Assessment as well.
Speaker 1: So I'll check those out with you during the break.
Speaker 1: But what are you watching? I am in the midst
Speaker 1: of Paradise. I'm loving this. I don't know who was
Speaker 1: behind this, but all I know is everybody was telling
Speaker 1: me to watch this. And when I say everybody, I
Speaker 1: just mean Deborah Mark and Amy King, the two people
Speaker 1: I'm exposed to the most. Dan Foegelman is the person
Speaker 1: that is behind this. They call it a political theory,
Speaker 1: a thriller, post apocalyptic science fiction, which is why I
Speaker 1: did not pick it up when it first came out.
Speaker 1: Those are things that I would not have signed up
Speaker 1: for in my spare time. Political thriller, post apocalyptic science fiction.
Speaker 1: Check no, check no, check no. However, it is really good.
Speaker 1: It's about a secret service agent investigating the murder of
Speaker 1: a former president in this seemingly peaceful community, and it
Speaker 1: is so well acted. I mean a lot of big
Speaker 1: names in here. You've got Sterling K. Brown, who I
Speaker 1: can watch all day. I just want to call him Kevin.
Speaker 2: I do too. I mean, I was just gonna say Devor.
Speaker 1: Part of it is because of my love for this
Speaker 1: is us and the emotional bond, absolutely seriously, and so
Speaker 1: it's like he can do no wrong to me in anything,
Speaker 1: like if they ever try to cast him as a
Speaker 1: bad guy or and he could be a bad guy
Speaker 1: in this, I don't know. I'm only two episodes in,
Speaker 1: but I won't buy it. And that's not being a
Speaker 1: type cast. It's just like it's an emotional bond that
Speaker 1: should be respected between the people that watch This is
Speaker 1: Us and Hollywood. James Marsnan's in it, Julian Nicholson.
Speaker 2: She gets me so angry her character.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I only have one episode left, so I'm
Speaker 1: not going I'm not so she's spent through some things,
Speaker 1: you know, So I mean that's where I'm at. I
Speaker 1: met Oh my goodness, Okay, just just you wait Shannon.
Speaker 1: So this guy was also this guy who did it
Speaker 1: the screenwriter, the director, or the producer. He is also
Speaker 1: behind This is Us as well. He did His screenplays
Speaker 1: include Cars, Tangled, and one of my all time favorites,
Speaker 1: Crazy Stupid Love. That's why this this is speaking to me.
Speaker 1: He also did only Murders in the Building. So this
Speaker 1: is it. It's one of those shows I always get
Speaker 1: so frustrated when someone goes, oh, this is a great show.
Speaker 1: You just got to get four episodes in and then
Speaker 1: you'll get into it. It's like saying, you know, try cigarettes,
Speaker 1: you'll love them. You never liked the first one or
Speaker 1: the second one, but by the fourth you're kind of hooked.
Speaker 1: But then you're stuck with this habit that you didn't
Speaker 1: really want in the first place. I want to show
Speaker 1: to grab me right away and also not kill me.
Speaker 1: But that was a bad analogy with the cigarettes, and
Speaker 1: I apologize. But if I've got to wait four episodes,
Speaker 1: that's too much time for me. I don't want it
Speaker 1: to be four hours till something grabs hold. And this
Speaker 1: show Paradise grabs hold right away. I mean within the
Speaker 1: first few minutes. I was hooked to it. And probably
Speaker 1: it's because of sterling Kate Brown. Oh yeah, but like
Speaker 1: I said, just you wait, because every episode you're gonna
Speaker 1: get very invested. Oh my god, I'm pissed. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: This is how pathetic I am. My husband has plans
Speaker 1: tonight's going out with a friend and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's great.
Speaker 2: Tell me. I say, hi, I enjoy your and the
Speaker 2: same way. And then I'm like, I'll be watching there.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: User, I'm such a loser. Same, same, same, same. Oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 1: All right, we will check out the trailers in the
Speaker 1: break you do as well, Mobland, good American family and
Speaker 1: the one who's writing I can, I'll pull it up here.
Speaker 2: It's the assessment, all right.
Speaker 1: What you watch on Wednesday continues the trailers up at
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty dot com. Gary and Channa page
Speaker 1: are good American family show coming out on Hulu. It
Speaker 1: stars Meredith Gray. I will always know her as Meredith Gray,
Speaker 1: and she is the mother in this dramatization of the
Speaker 1: whole Natalia Grace saga. This was the adopted girl slash woman,
Speaker 1: depending on who you want to believe, adopted to an
Speaker 1: American family. I think sent back at one point to
Speaker 1: whatever country she came from. I want to say it's Romania,
Speaker 1: could be Russia, I'm not sure. And then another family
Speaker 1: adopts her, and then the story or the script's flips
Speaker 1: to where she's not a child, she's actually a grown
Speaker 1: woman but severely disabled.
Speaker 2: I actually thought that.
Speaker 1: The documentary that I dove into on Hulu about the
Speaker 1: YouTube vlogger Mom Grace or Ruby Frankie, I conflated the
Speaker 1: two stories I thought that was going to be about.
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, is this about that adopted daughter
Speaker 1: who may not be a little girl and maybe a
Speaker 1: grown woman. I don't know if I want to watch that.
Speaker 1: And when I started watching it, quickly realized it wasn't
Speaker 1: about that. I just kind of don't want anything to
Speaker 1: do with a swindler handicapped want to be child grown woman?
Speaker 1: If that is the narrative, and I don't I haven't
Speaker 1: done all the research and connected all the dots there,
Speaker 1: but I just feel like, if you need attention that badly,
Speaker 1: I don't want to play in your mental illness for
Speaker 1: my own entertainment. The other trailer up there is a
Speaker 1: guarant you're gonna love it if you're a dude show.
Speaker 2: It's called Mobland.
Speaker 1: It's a Guy Richie production and it stars Pierce Brosnan,
Speaker 1: Tom Hardy, and Helen Mirren. It looks like it takes
Speaker 1: place in Ireland.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It comes with a badass fixer type character and Tom Hardy.
Speaker 2: It looks really good.
Speaker 1: A lot of action, a lot of guns, a lot
Speaker 1: of criminal enterprise. Mobland is the name of it, and
Speaker 1: I do believe that's on Paramount Plus.
Speaker 2: So check that out if you are a dude or
Speaker 2: if you like dude stuff.
Speaker 1: I like dude stuff from time to time. That one
Speaker 1: looks like it is going to be a win. And
Speaker 1: then assessment assessment is I forget where that is playing,
Speaker 1: but you can probably find it on Apple somewhere. It
Speaker 1: involves one of the not Mary, Kate or Ashley, but
Speaker 1: the other one, Elizabeth Olsen doing real good and identifying
Speaker 1: people and things. Listen, it's the end of the show.
Speaker 1: But anyway, it looks very well acted. It looks like
Speaker 1: one of the things that Debra and I were talking
Speaker 1: about that we don't really watch. Very sci fi, very
Speaker 1: maybe post apocalyptic vibes going on there, but again, looks
Speaker 1: very well acted. If you're into that kind of situation
Speaker 1: where a stranger comes to the door and assesses your
Speaker 1: family and makes decisions for your family moving forward, sounds
Speaker 1: very post apocalyptic to me.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 1: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 1: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
