Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Did you like the text I sent you this morning? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Please don't ever do that. Please?
Speaker 3: Can we make a rule that if the text, if
Speaker 3: the text is going to take place before six am,
Speaker 3: did it not include words like anus and sperm?
Speaker 2: I thought I was welcoming you to your Friday. You're not.
Speaker 3: That was not a good way to wake up. It
Speaker 3: was not a good way. And and that it included
Speaker 3: a graphic. There was a there was a picture involved too.
Speaker 3: It's not the greatest, not the easiest way to wake up,
Speaker 3: you know, rubbing your eyes and oh look, because you
Speaker 3: if you text something before six am, I think, uh, oh,
Speaker 3: the kidney failures. Pat, she's not going to be at
Speaker 3: work today, which I would appreciate a heads out.
Speaker 2: But but that's that's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3: China has retaliated against the tariffs. President Trump's country specific
Speaker 3: tariffs amount to an effective one hundred and forty five
Speaker 3: percent tariff on goods coming into the United States from China.
Speaker 3: So China has retaliated and said that they will raise
Speaker 3: levies on US goods to one hundred and twenty five percent.
Speaker 3: The Chinese Finance Ministry says, quote, even if the US
Speaker 3: continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make
Speaker 3: economic sense and will become.
Speaker 2: A joke in the history of world economy.
Speaker 1: This is an expensive game of chicken for everybody who
Speaker 1: has the stomach for it. More, the Chinese economy is
Speaker 1: not in tip top shape. It should be known. The
Speaker 1: Chinese need us as much as we need them. It's
Speaker 1: a real ding dong when it comes to who needs
Speaker 1: who more. If you get down to the numbers in
Speaker 1: terms of goods, it is unfortunate for the Chinese that
Speaker 1: so far they're not willing.
Speaker 2: To negotiate at all. You've got to.
Speaker 1: Learn how to play the game with President Trump, and
Speaker 1: I've got to believe the best minds are figuring out
Speaker 1: how to do just that, because they are terrible offenders
Speaker 1: when it comes to the international trading system. They've been
Speaker 1: getting away with murder for a very long time. It
Speaker 1: is it should be notable. It should be noted that
Speaker 1: it is notable that this president is putting everything on
Speaker 1: the line right here. This is a huge I mean,
Speaker 1: this is something and you've heard it come from the President.
Speaker 1: And it's a truth that other presidents, Democrats included, have
Speaker 1: wanted to do. Who thought we should do is take
Speaker 1: these a trade agreements and just but there's no political
Speaker 1: stomach to do it, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean it is. It's a huge deal.
Speaker 1: I mean for somebody who gets a lot of heat
Speaker 1: for caring about how much people like him and only
Speaker 1: caring about number one.
Speaker 2: This is a massive, massive deal.
Speaker 3: Well, there there was a thing. Oh we didn't get
Speaker 3: to play yesterday. I see if I can pull it up.
Speaker 3: There was a soybean farmer. I mean, one of the
Speaker 3: things that we're going to see in the next couple
Speaker 3: of days and weeks is the first people to be
Speaker 3: impacted by the tariff war, right, And this guy, Caleb Ragland,
Speaker 3: is a soybean farmer who says that this is a
Speaker 3: bad time for exactly what's going on. And Trump has said, well,
Speaker 3: there's no great time for it. There's no great The
Speaker 3: best time to do this would have been forty years
Speaker 3: ago so that it didn't get out of hand. But
Speaker 3: if we're not going to do it, then we should
Speaker 3: do it today. This is what the soybean.
Speaker 4: Farmer said, the last couple of years, prices have declined.
Speaker 4: Soybeans are down forty percent from where they were three
Speaker 4: years ago. Cost a production are higher, interest rates are higher.
Speaker 4: The overall arm economy is struggling. And then we had
Speaker 4: a trade war with our biggest customer and it's going
Speaker 4: to result in lower prices, and quite frankly, there's not
Speaker 4: much room for error right now.
Speaker 3: Okay, So that there there will be portions of the
Speaker 3: economy that will be affected, some of them very quickly,
Speaker 3: some of them not so quickly. If you're a used
Speaker 3: car salesman, right now is a great time for you
Speaker 3: because even though the inventory is low, you're going to
Speaker 3: be able to sell them for great prices. I mean,
Speaker 3: all of this stuff has to figure itself out. We're
Speaker 3: in that position. We the United States are now in
Speaker 3: a position of almost the free fall, where we don't
Speaker 3: know where the ground is. And for a lot of people,
Speaker 3: they see this going on, they see whatever the volatility
Speaker 3: is in the stock market, and it's uncomfortable. Like we've
Speaker 3: said multiple times, what runs our economy or what keeps
Speaker 3: our economy in check is consumer confidence, and that's all
Speaker 3: over the place right now. People don't know they have
Speaker 3: no idea. That's why gold is through the roof thirty
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars an ounce right now. It is just
Speaker 3: the weirdest place to be because we don't know how
Speaker 3: this ends, and it's a gamble.
Speaker 2: You have two cups of coffee. What do you mean?
Speaker 2: You have a lot of animation today. Again, it's probably
Speaker 2: better for us to be off this.
Speaker 1: Jumped right out of Japan. Did you say it's better
Speaker 1: for us to be off the streets?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Ye, streets What do you mean jumped out of Japan?
Speaker 2: Like animation? Animation?
Speaker 1: Animated Japan produces a lot of animated products.
Speaker 3: Ah, okay, am I gonna have to walk you through stuff.
Speaker 3: I feel like it today. Maybe all right, maybe.
Speaker 2: See how this goes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
Speaker 5: from KFI AM six forty out of DC.
Speaker 3: The big annual physical today for the president.
Speaker 2: That's that's fine. First check.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's done, is it? It just he
Speaker 1: writes what he wants the doctor to say. And then
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting on scales or anything like that.
Speaker 1: The doctor just comes in, he goes, you look great,
Speaker 1: You look like you're in the best shape of any
Speaker 1: man ever. And the President goes, thank you, write that up,
Speaker 1: I'll sign it, and then we're done.
Speaker 2: And the word doctors and quotes.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not talking about diabetes, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about obesity, we're not talking about any sort of organ I.
Speaker 3: Don't even know what the what the requirement is. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: But you don't get to be seventy eight, seventy nine
Speaker 1: years old and you're just in the best shape, you're
Speaker 1: healthy as a horse. That just doesn't happen for most people. No,
Speaker 1: that's just a fact of nature.
Speaker 3: But I don't know how it's released. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: become such an issue, and I'm kind of surprised we
Speaker 3: haven't seen more about it. Does Walter read than the
Speaker 3: medical center? Does it then give it to the White
Speaker 3: House Press Office for them to massage it and release it,
Speaker 3: or do they just release some of the highlights unfiltered.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure that thing's massaged a couple times. That's
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 3: So tragic story out of DC, I'm sorry, out of
Speaker 3: New York that Spanish executive has won and three young
Speaker 3: kids killed when it was a helicopter that was taking
Speaker 3: them on a sightseeing tour of New York City crashed
Speaker 3: into the Hudson yesterday.
Speaker 2: He heard about it late in our show.
Speaker 1: We got new details about that. Regarding the final moments,
Speaker 1: the pilot reportedly radioed about needing to refuel. Just minutes
Speaker 1: before the helicopter crashed into the Hudson. Pilot called in
Speaker 1: that he was landing and that he needed fuel and
Speaker 1: it should have taken him about three minutes to arrive,
Speaker 1: but twenty minutes later he did not arrive. All six
Speaker 1: people on board did not survive, including that Siemens executive.
Speaker 3: Augustine Escobar, chief executive of a Semen's division, was in
Speaker 3: the country with his wife. Apparently they were also celebrating
Speaker 3: the birthday of one of their kids. The kids four
Speaker 3: or five and eleven years old.
Speaker 1: Did you see the picture, So there's a picture of
Speaker 1: the five of them in this family taken in front
Speaker 1: of the helicopter.
Speaker 2: I saw one also.
Speaker 3: They're in helicopter, the headphones on and everything, with their
Speaker 3: thumbs up.
Speaker 1: That has got to be the one of the eeriest
Speaker 1: things in life is seeing the last picture before somebody perishes,
Speaker 1: especially in a tragic situation like this, minutes before, the
Speaker 1: moments before, five members, three little kids.
Speaker 2: My god.
Speaker 3: There was a couple of different images the videos of
Speaker 3: what happened yesterday that appear to show the rotor either
Speaker 3: clipping the rear boom, you know, the tail of the helicopter,
Speaker 3: if you want to call it that, and either cutting
Speaker 3: it off or damaging it to the point where it
Speaker 3: didn't work and the rear rotor doesn't work, and that
Speaker 3: the main rotor flies off. I mean, whatever happened was
Speaker 3: it was a devastating collapse of the helicopter itself. So
Speaker 3: it was just an awful thing. And I had made
Speaker 3: the mistake yesterday when we started getting more information when
Speaker 3: we saw it. Originally I thought it was a police
Speaker 3: helicopter that had gone down because it was credited to
Speaker 3: the NYPD and that they were the ones who were
Speaker 3: talking about it, and I assumed that it was a
Speaker 3: helic police helicopt.
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: I did not assume the worst. And part of that's
Speaker 1: because of the Hudson. Right, we saw the miracle on
Speaker 1: the Hudson altogether, and you think, you know, you see
Speaker 1: something like that, like a passenger plane landing on the Hudson,
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, that's doable. The way they do
Speaker 1: it happens, that's the Hudson. You just land on it.
Speaker 2: That's where they put their aircraft.
Speaker 1: Now, when we got that news that was breaking as
Speaker 1: we were ending the show, I did not think worst
Speaker 1: case scenario.
Speaker 2: For whatever reason. I thought it was.
Speaker 1: A training exercise that went wrong. It didn't even occur
Speaker 1: to me that there would be a fatality, let alone
Speaker 1: an entire family wiped out for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: And I guess in New York, those tourist helicopter sightseeing
Speaker 3: tours are constant, ubiquitous.
Speaker 2: They're everywhere, and there are all the trust constant.
Speaker 3: Yeah. A couple other stories we'll get to here in
Speaker 3: just a moment include the Space Force commander in Greenland
Speaker 3: who was fired fired she did not like the Vice
Speaker 3: President's visit.
Speaker 2: Will explain.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: Am six forty.
Speaker 1: We want to alert you to our Instagram page where
Speaker 1: we've just posted a video of Gary. There's been a
Speaker 1: bit of a controversy here at KFI this morning involving
Speaker 1: Gary's outfit, and I walked in on it. I didn't
Speaker 1: even know the controversy existed, and so I was kind
Speaker 1: of late to the to the drama. But apparently it
Speaker 1: is alive. And well, did the drama start when you
Speaker 1: walked in this morning? Or was that the first what
Speaker 1: I walked into? Was that the first time you've been
Speaker 1: questioned about your what you're wearing and what you what
Speaker 1: your ACCRUITTERMA is.
Speaker 3: Today Kono who is the go to when it comes
Speaker 3: to fashion advice?
Speaker 2: The board up on the morning show.
Speaker 3: I walked in today and I'm wearing a Baylor hat
Speaker 3: and a Baylor sweatshirt.
Speaker 2: These are my two new.
Speaker 3: Items of appair of items of apparel that were purchased
Speaker 3: last weekend when I was out there to see my daughter.
Speaker 2: And it's just the beat.
Speaker 3: They're green and yellow or green and gold I think
Speaker 3: is officially their colors.
Speaker 2: And you do look like a third base coach. He
Speaker 2: asked me.
Speaker 3: Did I bring in this water bottle that I've had
Speaker 3: for years? Did I buy this water bottle to match
Speaker 3: the color of the yellow in the in the logo?
Speaker 3: And I said, this water bottle is not yellow, it's orange,
Speaker 3: and he said, no, it's it's pretty yellow. And then
Speaker 3: I go, come on, you are you're being an idiot,
Speaker 3: And then I asked everybody else in the room, and
Speaker 3: they all agreed with him that it matches. And I'm
Speaker 3: crazy your hat. But I don't think i'm crazy because
Speaker 3: I don't think i'm colorblind.
Speaker 2: But these are very different.
Speaker 1: Did you take off your hat and put the color
Speaker 1: on your hat? Because the yellow on your sweatshirt is
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a canary as opposed to
Speaker 1: the yellow on your hat. Did you take off your
Speaker 1: hat and then put that next to your water bottle?
Speaker 1: And see how close those are? Those are prett close.
Speaker 1: You see what we're talking about. Now, No, it's okay,
Speaker 1: Matchie Matchie is super in right now.
Speaker 2: I'm just like jelly shoes. Okay, I am not Matchie Matchie,
Speaker 2: and I'm not wearing jelly shoes. Just so everybody knows.
Speaker 3: You do not know the name Colonel Susanna Myers, but
Speaker 3: she was the commander of the United States United States
Speaker 3: Space Force Base at Patrific, Greenland.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't need, I don't mean to be all
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory far left here. I think this is maybe
Speaker 1: the first time I've gone to the algorithm on that side.
Speaker 1: But this could be seen as a sign of say
Speaker 1: nothing bad about the government, or you are done at
Speaker 1: your job, because this is a woman in charge of
Speaker 1: that base where JD. Van went and said Denmark isn't
Speaker 1: doing enough when it comes to securing Greenland. He said
Speaker 1: that from one of our bases there, which is kind
Speaker 1: of an f and you, like, I can see where
Speaker 1: it would be taken that way if your job was
Speaker 1: to run security or to just run that base on
Speaker 1: Greenland for the United States. How the vice president coming
Speaker 1: to that base and saying, eh, security is not good here,
Speaker 1: that would piss me off too, And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: So she turned around, she's in charge there and wrote
Speaker 1: an email to her whole staff saying, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the politics are, but in terms of what the
Speaker 1: Vice president said.
Speaker 2: We're good.
Speaker 1: We do a great job here, we are secure, we
Speaker 1: are tip top when it comes to security. And she
Speaker 1: got fired because of it because it was seen as
Speaker 1: negative words against the government, which if you're in that algorithm,
Speaker 1: you're looking at that saying this is a case in
Speaker 1: point of this is an administration that will tolerate nobody's
Speaker 1: saying anything bad about them. Very Vladimir Putin of this administration.
Speaker 1: I mean, short of poisoning and killing somebody, but to
Speaker 1: just rihdth them of their job, a very high, highly
Speaker 1: placed job, by the way, because of any sort of dissension,
Speaker 1: any little hint of dissension about the administrations as a
Speaker 1: member of the military, and you're out.
Speaker 3: This is what she wrote in the email quote. I
Speaker 3: do not presume to understand current politics. But what I
Speaker 3: do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed
Speaker 3: by Vice President of Vance on Friday are not reflective
Speaker 3: of patific space space. The spokesperson for the Pentagon said,
Speaker 3: actions to undermine the chain of command or subvert President
Speaker 3: Trump's agenda will not be tolerated by the Department of Defense.
Speaker 3: They don't have to even they don't even have to
Speaker 3: name call Trump here. You just say, in the military,
Speaker 3: there is a chain of command, and you don't go
Speaker 3: out of the chain of command. There's no reason for
Speaker 3: her to write that email in the first place. Now,
Speaker 3: I don't think she should have been removed, as she's
Speaker 3: a command.
Speaker 2: The chain of command there at that base.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, why I mean the first line, I do
Speaker 3: not presume to understand current politics, period.
Speaker 1: Don't send the email because if I'm in charge of secure,
Speaker 1: I'm in charge of a base, and my job is
Speaker 1: to make that base secure, to make that area secure.
Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure that everyone knows that it's secure.
Speaker 1: And if somebody comes and says under the guys in
Speaker 1: the banner a vice president of America that this isn't
Speaker 1: a secure place at the top of the channel of command,
Speaker 1: I'm going to let them know we're good.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: But he was talking specifically about under securing Greenland in general.
Speaker 2: It's not just the base exactly.
Speaker 3: So why they're not there to secure Greenland, they're not
Speaker 3: there as the police force or so. What I don't
Speaker 3: get is where in her mind did she think it
Speaker 3: was just going to go She's going to write this
Speaker 3: email and there would be no repercussions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no idea what she meant. I also
Speaker 1: believe that you don't have to show your strength with words,
Speaker 1: that you just show it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that doth protest too much a little bit.
Speaker 1: I believe that if you are a strong person, or
Speaker 1: you're doing well at your job, or you have run
Speaker 1: a strong base, it speaks for itself.
Speaker 2: You don't have to tell people about it and great.
Speaker 3: What's been great about the military, the American military specifically,
Speaker 3: is it doesn't effing matter who the president is.
Speaker 2: They do their job absolutely. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: But I don't think you lose your job because of it.
Speaker 1: But I guess that's the military. But yeah, so there
Speaker 1: is that part of it, like what what are you
Speaker 1: even thinking? Why would you write that email?
Speaker 2: What were you thinking? But is it to the cost
Speaker 2: of losing your job? Right, that's the part.
Speaker 1: I don't know, And I don't know. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't come from that line of work. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's like. I mean, I I all my knowledge
Speaker 1: comes from you know, a few good men and Netflix
Speaker 1: and Netflix after that exactly.
Speaker 2: There is a weird story that goes around. It comes up.
Speaker 3: It feels like every couple every several months, stories about
Speaker 3: people who do not sleep together. A married couple don't
Speaker 3: even have to be married. You're a couple, but you
Speaker 3: don't sleep in the same room.
Speaker 2: Does it matter if you're banging? What do you mean? Well,
Speaker 2: who cares? I mean, you're sleeping right, so.
Speaker 3: Well, there's I mean, you don't need to be together
Speaker 3: to go to sleep, right, No, but there's something about it.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing though, Oh boy, here comes, well, don't
Speaker 2: when we come back the snory, Oh.
Speaker 1: Boy, here it comes sounds like you're loaded for bear too.
Speaker 3: There, okay, let us know sleeping in separate rooms? Is
Speaker 3: it a deal breaker for you? Is it great for you?
Speaker 3: Does it work out for you? Do you know people
Speaker 3: who do it? I mean sleeping in the separate rooms?
Speaker 3: Then I think everybody does all the time. I'm what
Speaker 3: do you mean everybody does what? I think everybody knows.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows somebody.
Speaker 3: Yes, I thought you're going to say that I'm now
Speaker 3: another weirdo, that I'm color blind and I sleep with
Speaker 3: my wife.
Speaker 2: I didn't say you were color blind.
Speaker 3: You clearly are insinuating that my eyes do not want
Speaker 3: that's not okay, And going back to me as five
Speaker 3: year old having to wear glasses, you're dredging up.
Speaker 1: So wow, So I didn't mean to peel that scab.
Speaker 1: You guys have to see Gary's video at Gary and
Speaker 1: Shannon on Instagram. The seriousness with which he addresses this
Speaker 1: whole hat the color water bottler, Let's go color is hilarious.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: am six forty.
Speaker 6: Okay, Gary. Two things with regard to the water bottle,
Speaker 6: Hold it up to the kf I sign behind you,
Speaker 6: which is orange and see the difference. Second, I'm curious
Speaker 6: what is the significance of the ring you're wearing on
Speaker 6: your right hand?
Speaker 2: Perhaps?
Speaker 6: Was it your dad's just curious noticed it in the instagram?
Speaker 3: No, the ring on my right hand. Somebody noticed it
Speaker 3: and wanted to know what it was. It's just, oh,
Speaker 3: that's your sex dungeon, right, No, sorry, it unlocks. Isn't
Speaker 3: that the one that hooks up to the chain?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Is Hey, I was just on the hall by the
Speaker 1: way because I heard that Michael Monks, you know, he
Speaker 1: makes homemade ice cream.
Speaker 2: I don't think you were here. That's what Keana said,
Speaker 2: You guys, keeping secrets from me is not fun, especially
Speaker 2: about ice cream. Right. Yeah, it's basically slapping.
Speaker 1: It's like slapping your baby in the face.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the last time he came in and he
Speaker 1: made us there, he had us taste his homemade ice cream.
Speaker 2: It was incredible.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so Keana came in here and mentioned that he
Speaker 1: had retooled his ice cream and that he brought some in,
Speaker 1: so I went down to procure you a taste of
Speaker 1: his ice cream, and that's why I was missing.
Speaker 2: No strawberry. Keanu mentioned a coconut.
Speaker 1: He said that that he's in, he's like super pump
Speaker 1: pumped about what went on with the strawberry. But the
Speaker 1: coconut came out a little bit crumbly good.
Speaker 3: I don't like it.
Speaker 2: There is a story. He said that he.
Speaker 1: Hadn't come in yet because of the mood that you've
Speaker 1: been in today, A little bit good. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit off putting to some people. They don't know how
Speaker 1: you're going to.
Speaker 2: Be in front of other people. I'm a wild card.
Speaker 2: I'm the wild card. Did you see the video?
Speaker 1: You're you get a little uh persnickety, I guess would
Speaker 1: be the word about the whole.
Speaker 3: It's more color slow and reluctant realization that I may
Speaker 3: be color blind.
Speaker 1: There was okay, nobody wants to admit that because there
Speaker 1: was nothing slow and reluctant about that video. It was
Speaker 1: very demonstrative, very serious, like you were. It's funny, want
Speaker 1: to go into the home. This is why it's very funny.
Speaker 1: Can I have your driver's license? What this is why
Speaker 1: it's really funny because it's all about your bailor outfit.
Speaker 1: And your daughter is a biokem grad student at Baylor,
Speaker 1: basically setting the biokem world on fire. And you in
Speaker 1: this video, it's almost like you're trying to do a
Speaker 1: science experiment like for It's like science for dummies, like this.
Speaker 2: Is one color yellow, this is another? Are they?
Speaker 1: And you're so serious with the way that you deliver
Speaker 1: this this question, it's very It reminds me of when
Speaker 1: I was in the science fair and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you would propose a question and the question would I
Speaker 1: remember one science Fair project and it was is your
Speaker 1: balance better with your eyes open or closed?
Speaker 2: So sited balance or unsided balance?
Speaker 1: And I had people stand on one leg with their
Speaker 1: eyes open and closed and then took pictures of them
Speaker 1: and put it on the poster board on the whole bit.
Speaker 1: I was nine, and it reminded me of your experiment
Speaker 1: over there.
Speaker 2: Today because I was so serious about it.
Speaker 1: You're so serious, and it's there's something so cute and
Speaker 1: cool about being so serious about such a small science project.
Speaker 2: Are you in a sleep divorce? Let's do this when
Speaker 2: we come back, talk about that we come back.
Speaker 3: I am calling.
Speaker 2: Regarding the separate bedrooms, I left a relationship of thirteen
Speaker 2: years because we started sleeping in separate bedrooms. Definitely a
Speaker 2: deal breaker. Well see, I don't think she was getting
Speaker 2: it still. That's you Gotta Get In There album. You
Speaker 2: Gotta Get In There. You've been listening to The Gary
Speaker 2: and Shannon Show.
