Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: On Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1: The Secret Service at the center of the House's investigation
Speaker 1: into the first assassination tempt of former President Trump. That
Speaker 1: investigation now will be expanding to include a second where
Speaker 1: we kick off swamp watch.
Speaker 3: Swamp is horrible, The government doesn't work.
Speaker 4: Man, well, make us like a reality TV show, A
Speaker 4: bad noose, always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 5: Hey, Joey, A town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 5: swamp and in so many ways.
Speaker 3: Still a swamp. I have a watch of Malarkey. Boy said,
Speaker 3: drained the swamp.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, that's so hope keep you.
Speaker 4: Know the thing, well, uh, The head of the US
Speaker 4: Secret Service has suggested that the acting Director of the
Speaker 4: US Secret Service.
Speaker 3: Says that we need help.
Speaker 4: We need help from Congress to make sure that people
Speaker 4: don't get, you know, assassinated.
Speaker 6: Our folks are rising to this moment.
Speaker 3: Frame will require actually.
Speaker 6: All of us to be able to have good conversations
Speaker 6: and make sure that we're getting the Secret Service where
Speaker 6: it needs to be and I'm confident that we will
Speaker 6: achieve that.
Speaker 2: Well, this is the problem.
Speaker 1: There was no communication between the Secret Service and this
Speaker 1: spur of the moment decision for the former president to
Speaker 1: play a round of golf. They said that it wasn't
Speaker 1: on his official schedule, and stop short of saying we
Speaker 1: didn't have time to do a sweep of the golf course.
Speaker 2: But a golf course and doing a sweep of it
Speaker 2: should be something.
Speaker 1: That the Secret Service can get together right away, last minute,
Speaker 1: right and like you said earlier, if that means telling
Speaker 1: the former president, hey, you we're going to have to
Speaker 1: push back your tea time ninety minutes, then that's what
Speaker 1: they're going to have to do. There seems to be
Speaker 1: a lack of communication for whatever reason and why he
Speaker 1: was able to be there for twelve hours. We heard
Speaker 1: from the FBI that this guy started staking out golf
Speaker 1: course at about two am on Sunday. Twelve hours later, as
Speaker 1: Trump was golfing, a Secret Service agent walking the perimeter
Speaker 1: sees the semi automatic rifle poking.
Speaker 2: Through the shrubbery. He fires at him.
Speaker 1: This guy takes off and was later arrested by local
Speaker 1: law enforcement. Pretending just to be going about his day
Speaker 1: driving like anybody else on the road. But there's so
Speaker 1: many questions about this, like how did he know Trump
Speaker 1: would be there if he got And that plays into
Speaker 1: my conspiracy theory about this, not that Trump just needed attention,
Speaker 1: and that somebody in the inner channel back channeled and
Speaker 1: found this guy and kind of led him and manipulated
Speaker 1: him to get out there. Because it wasn't on an
Speaker 1: official schedule. The Secret Service didn't even know Trump was
Speaker 1: going to be there, So how did this guy know?
Speaker 1: And the only thing I can think of is if
Speaker 1: he got there at two am just because he's a
Speaker 1: crazy person and wanted to be close to something Trump
Speaker 1: and it happened to be his golf course and he
Speaker 1: could get access to and then he sees maybe much
Speaker 1: ado about, you know, he sees much of a presence,
Speaker 1: a sudden police presence there.
Speaker 2: Then he just stays there too.
Speaker 4: There's two things about it, and I'm not shooting holes
Speaker 4: in your theory at all. The knowledge that we have
Speaker 4: that he was there for twelve hours, to be technically correct,
Speaker 4: his phone was there for twelve hours. Now that could
Speaker 4: have meant that he even I mean doesn't again, it
Speaker 4: doesn't pull the rugout from your conspiracy theory.
Speaker 3: Maybe he just put his stuff there and was going
Speaker 3: to come back.
Speaker 4: The other thing is that, yes, the addition of around
Speaker 4: a golf was not on the calendar. Who was not
Speaker 4: on the schedule last minute decision or early morning decision
Speaker 4: whenever the president made that decision to go out and
Speaker 4: hit the links. But he plays golf regularly on Sundays.
Speaker 4: That's kind of a that's a known thing for him.
Speaker 4: And I don't know if this guy did enough research
Speaker 4: to find that out and maybe just take a shot
Speaker 4: in the dark, pardon the pun, he was going to
Speaker 4: end up on the golf course.
Speaker 3: It's also very common.
Speaker 4: I don't know how common it is for Trump, but
Speaker 4: it was pretty common for Bush and Obama to start
Speaker 4: around to golf but not finished. They'd get out there
Speaker 4: and they'd do six holes or nine holes or whatever,
Speaker 4: but they wouldn't play all eighteen.
Speaker 3: Now, granted he was on, he was on the way out.
Speaker 4: He was still playing I think fifth hole, sixth hole
Speaker 4: somewhere in there when this happened. But there's still I mean,
Speaker 4: John Kennedy, the Senator out of Louisiana, had suggested we
Speaker 4: need more answers than the Secret Service needs money, Yes, exactly,
Speaker 4: And I think that's a great way to put it,
Speaker 4: because there's so much of this. If you look at
Speaker 4: the layout specifically of this golf course, it's surrounded on
Speaker 4: four sides basically by thoroughfares, by big five lane roads,
Speaker 4: and it's not that hard to get a couple of
Speaker 4: Secret Service SUVs or local law enforcement out there, just
Speaker 4: to slowly right along the perimeter of the golf course
Speaker 4: on the outside of the fence.
Speaker 1: And if he had come out and said, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're spread really thin. We've got a sitting president, we've
Speaker 1: got a sitting vice president running for president, and a
Speaker 1: former president running for president, and we don't have the manpower,
Speaker 1: so we need more money.
Speaker 2: That would be one thing. But he did not say that.
Speaker 1: He just came out and said it wasn't on the
Speaker 1: official schedule, sir.
Speaker 2: That is not an excuse.
Speaker 4: We know that the state of Florida is also looking
Speaker 4: at its own investigation. Ron DeSantis, the governor, made the
Speaker 4: announcement yesterday.
Speaker 7: I'm signing an executive order assigning the case involving the
Speaker 7: attempt at assassination a former President Donald Trump to the
Speaker 7: Office of statewide prosecutor under the supervision of Attorney General
Speaker 7: Ashley Moody. The suspect, Ryan routhe has believed of committed
Speaker 7: state law violations across multiple judicial circuits in the state.
Speaker 4: And DeSantis made a point I mentioned this earlier. He said,
Speaker 4: it's he is not comfortable with the FBI and the
Speaker 4: Department of Justice doing the investigation into these assassination attempts
Speaker 4: when they're also going after Trump in their own criminal.
Speaker 3: Investigations against him.
Speaker 4: So now, the guy who did this, the guy who
Speaker 4: was arrested for this, has an arrest record that goes
Speaker 4: back to the eighties and was a complete weirdo, a
Speaker 4: complete crazy person. That doesn't absolve the Secret Service of
Speaker 4: their responsibility to protect even from the crazies.
Speaker 3: I also have information.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know what it is. I know what it is.
Speaker 3: What is what is it?
Speaker 2: It's the news and Bruce, we have a news.
Speaker 4: And Bruise coming up next week. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 4: Bjay's restaurant in Brue House at one sixty sixty Beach
Speaker 4: Boulevard one six zero six zero Beach Boulevard, right there
Speaker 4: at Beach and Eden Jurch, just off the four h
Speaker 4: five Freeway once again. That is a really really fun
Speaker 4: place to do a News and Bruce in Huntington again Thursday.
Speaker 4: We're going to do it on Thursday. We have a
Speaker 4: special event coming a week after that also.
Speaker 2: So we're doing both of those things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, is it? Okay?
Speaker 2: No, that's great.
Speaker 1: The last I heard we were doing one or the other,
Speaker 1: and I like to know that we're doing both.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you we're doing next Thursday for sure, okay.
Speaker 4: And I believe we're also doing something special the week
Speaker 4: after that, but we will. We'll get into that a
Speaker 4: little bit later.
Speaker 2: But could you like your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 4: Our News and Bruce coming up Thursday, BJ's Restaurant and
Speaker 4: brew House on Beach Boulevard in Huntington.
Speaker 1: Beach Double initial guys for six hundred dollars initial guys,
Speaker 1: JJ Star Trek Beyond producer.
Speaker 4: Uh oh, who's JJ abrams ding ding Ding?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good one, double double Okay. I like that.
Speaker 3: Bottom of the hour.
Speaker 4: We'll get into this story today about how scientists to
Speaker 4: figure out how many chemicals enter our bodies from food packaging.
Speaker 2: Oh, that sounds great, and West I.
Speaker 3: Think in the last I don't know.
Speaker 4: Month, I've thought more about food packaging than at any
Speaker 4: other time in my life.
Speaker 2: Why is that I have?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe they're finally affecting me. Maybe the microplastics are taking
Speaker 4: over my brain.
Speaker 2: Well, like, what do you mean?
Speaker 4: Well, the reason I think of it is we all
Speaker 4: grew up with tupperware, right, or some knockoff version of it.
Speaker 4: We always had this, you know, pressed plastic stuff that
Speaker 4: we kept our food in and then we'd heat it
Speaker 4: up in that stuff, in the microwave of it and
Speaker 4: all that, and never thought twice about whether or not
Speaker 4: any of the stuff from the plastic was getting into
Speaker 4: our food. It didn't make any sense, Like we we
Speaker 4: couldn't see it on a microscopic level. We thought, well,
Speaker 4: that's a hard surface, there's no way that it's going
Speaker 4: to leach anything into my food.
Speaker 3: And we go about eating our food.
Speaker 2: We ate so much plastic, we ate everything.
Speaker 4: And that's the thing is we now see these stories
Speaker 4: about microplastics showing up in food, in baby formula, in fish.
Speaker 3: How could it not be in our bodies?
Speaker 4: And it's in you know, those plastics exist in all
Speaker 4: kinds of different wrapping and packaging et cetera. Even if
Speaker 4: you go to the highest end markets, you know, you
Speaker 4: go to Arawan, or you go to Trader Joe's, or
Speaker 4: you go to Whole Foods or something Gelson's, there's plenty
Speaker 4: of plastic packaging that still exists in those places that
Speaker 4: could be part of the problem. Anyway, I don't know why,
Speaker 4: but I have thought about that more and we'll talk
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 1: Have you thought about that more? Or the Golden Bachelorette
Speaker 1: premiering tomorrow more? Has it been plastics or Golden Bachelorette premiere?
Speaker 4: I honestly didn't know that that. I thought that had
Speaker 4: already started.
Speaker 2: We're going to.
Speaker 1: Watch that together though, right like we're gonna I mean,
Speaker 1: not together in the same room.
Speaker 2: But you will keep on top of all of that.
Speaker 4: Probably will because I had such To be honest, I
Speaker 4: did have fun watching the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2: I know it's more fun when they're are age, it's
Speaker 2: more fun. And I did.
Speaker 1: Twenty something year old who don't know how to get
Speaker 1: they're just uninteresting.
Speaker 4: I did, And I did like the woman who has
Speaker 4: become the Golden Bachelor. She dropped out of the last
Speaker 4: last year's season early. What did you like about her.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just thought that she was She seemed normal, she
Speaker 4: seemed realistic compared to some of the other women. So
Speaker 4: we're in the middle of a swamp watch talking about
Speaker 4: what's going on in DC, specifically, of course, uh the
Speaker 4: ongoing discussions about the Secret Service and its responsibility.
Speaker 3: It's primary responsibility when it comes to.
Speaker 4: Protection of dignitaries, and in this case, their biggest protection
Speaker 4: detail the president's presidents, multiple of the United States, and
Speaker 4: presidential candidates and former presidents, all of which combined to
Speaker 4: give you Donald Trump. And I discussed you know that
Speaker 4: this guy supposedly had a the potential gunman. I guess
Speaker 4: you could say, because he didn't actually get off a shot,
Speaker 4: that he was crazy by all intents and purposes. He
Speaker 4: had a massively long criminal history. He was trying to
Speaker 4: fight on behalf of Ukraine, which could be honorable in
Speaker 4: and of itself, but it's also one of those things
Speaker 4: where if you're going to actually do it, there takes
Speaker 4: a certain amount of crazy to actually get on a
Speaker 4: plane and go into a war zone like that. There
Speaker 4: is also neighbors who said that he would keep a
Speaker 4: horse in his house, that he was a hoarder that
Speaker 4: he would that he was just an odd duck to
Speaker 4: begin with, So which raises the question that I don't
Speaker 4: know the answer to. Somebody in the Secret Service might
Speaker 4: what is the bigger threat? Is the bigger threat that
Speaker 4: crazy loaner like this guy was, like that kid in Butler,
Speaker 4: Pennsylvania appeared to be or is it an organized kill
Speaker 4: team coming in from somewhere else where if they wanted
Speaker 4: to an Iranian backed group of mercenaries whatever wherever, wanted
Speaker 4: to target the president and simply had patience that golf
Speaker 4: course was the softest of targets.
Speaker 1: Well, we have talked about this before and the types
Speaker 1: of threats and the types of shooters and the you know,
Speaker 1: all the backgrounds that goes into that.
Speaker 2: The answer is both all of the above.
Speaker 1: There they're all threats, foreign backed people that are that
Speaker 1: are here already living here legally, the crazy guy in
Speaker 1: his basement with half purple hair.
Speaker 2: It's all a.
Speaker 1: Problem, which is why you need to have a robust
Speaker 1: secret service. And I do think it was a win
Speaker 1: for them that they were able to spot this this
Speaker 1: gun through the shrubbery, but the excuse of it wasn't
Speaker 1: on his official schedule to me is just something I
Speaker 1: cannot compute. If he decides at the last minute game
Speaker 1: time decision he's going to go play a game of golf,
Speaker 1: then the first call from whoever is with the president
Speaker 1: is to the The Secret Service should be in the car.
Speaker 1: The Secret Service should be there. They're all hands on
Speaker 1: deck right away.
Speaker 3: Step one, sweep the course.
Speaker 2: Step one, sweep the course exactly. That would be the
Speaker 2: first thing you did, What the hell are they doing?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 6: Want?
Speaker 1: I want like a play by play, detailed list of
Speaker 1: a time stamp of what happened following the knowledge that
Speaker 1: he was going to be out there.
Speaker 2: It's very convenient that we're not hearing that.
Speaker 4: Speaking of campaign stuff, Vice President Harris scheduled to appear
Speaker 4: today in Philadelphia, and in fact she's going to be
Speaker 4: interviewed by three members of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Speaker 4: If you remember, that was the sit down that former
Speaker 4: President Trump was in when he suggested that she had
Speaker 4: been black, but only for a few years, because before
Speaker 4: that she identified as Indian. He is holding. Former President
Speaker 4: Trump is holding a town hall event in Flint, Michigan.
Speaker 4: I saw earlier that Jadie Vance was also in Michigan.
Speaker 4: So that's what's going on on the camp paint trail.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next Tasty Tuesday, could it be
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about plastic and food packaging. If
Speaker 1: plastic doesn't taste good, you don't know that, you've probably
Speaker 1: had a lot of plastic.
Speaker 2: I bet you.
Speaker 1: I bet you encountered some tupperware cleaning out your parents'
Speaker 1: house that you remember as a youth, because my mom
Speaker 1: still has plastic bowls and things that I remember as
Speaker 1: a youth.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean.
Speaker 1: We we we just kind of made some headway. The
Speaker 1: last time I was up there cleaning out the spice drawer,
Speaker 1: the spy the spice rack had spices from the seventies,
Speaker 1: and I was like, we got to get we got
Speaker 1: to go through this. We're going to get this done.
Speaker 3: You hold on to it long enough and it's become
Speaker 3: it's going to become a treasure, like you know.
Speaker 1: And I did kind of feel bad throwing some of
Speaker 1: that stuff out like this, this spice has been in
Speaker 1: this home longer than I've been alive.
Speaker 3: That's always That's always very sly.
Speaker 2: From a company that went fumed in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4: Again, I don't know if I can trace this to
Speaker 4: anything specific, if it was a story I read, a
Speaker 4: conversation I had. But I've been much more aware of
Speaker 4: the kinds of packaging that our food comes in, and
Speaker 4: especially things like you know, heating up leftovers and stuff
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 3: And there's a new study that came out.
Speaker 4: This was researchers in Switzerland, Switzerland and other countries, but
Speaker 4: based there in Switzerland, discovered that about of the fourteen
Speaker 4: thousand known chemicals that go into food packaging. Of the
Speaker 4: fourteen thousand, about thirty six hundred of them, almost a
Speaker 4: quarter of them have been found in our bodies blood samples,
Speaker 4: hair samples, breast, milk, et cetera that I hear packaging.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's just how much from goldfish?
Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
Speaker 4: Metals, volatile organic compounds PERR, and polychloro accals.
Speaker 3: I don't know how to say that substances.
Speaker 2: I think you nailed that.
Speaker 4: Valleys many others known to disrupt our indocrine system cause
Speaker 4: cancer and other diseases.
Speaker 2: So we should just eat from the ground like Deborah does.
Speaker 4: Well, there is something to be said about that, isn't there.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a sure even if you're going to
Speaker 4: something like a farmer's market. You would regularly have a
Speaker 4: farmer's market, or you have a produce place that you
Speaker 4: go to, or you trust the local grocery store and
Speaker 4: the produce that they have. There's something to be said
Speaker 4: about simply getting your food and either taking it out
Speaker 4: of the plastic that it comes in, or never putting
Speaker 4: it in the plastic. We've grown accustomed to everything comes
Speaker 4: in plastic, and that keeps it safe and clean or
Speaker 4: dry or whatever you need to keep the elements away
Speaker 4: from it, but that those elements may be the things
Speaker 4: that are end up giving us, you know, gallbladder cancer
Speaker 4: or whatever.
Speaker 1: So have you changed your behaviors when it comes to
Speaker 1: packaged food since you've been putting more thought?
Speaker 4: I do think that I do pay attention to the
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've changed my behavior a lot,
Speaker 4: but there are things that i will do intentionally now
Speaker 4: going forward, which is, if I'm going to reheat something,
Speaker 4: I'll take it out of the plastic that even if
Speaker 4: I store it in plastic. I got those little snap
Speaker 4: where things whatever everybody else has, but I'll take it
Speaker 4: out of that before I put it in the microwave.
Speaker 4: Because they also say that high temperatures can cause some
Speaker 4: of these chemicals to leach more quickly into the food,
Speaker 4: which is why they tell you avoid putting microwave or
Speaker 4: avoid microwaving stuff in the takeout container, especially if it's
Speaker 4: that pressed foam stuff, and put it into a glass
Speaker 4: bowl or a ceramic bowl or something and do it
Speaker 4: that way, because remember, you don't remember there was a
Speaker 4: time when we didn't have microwaves.
Speaker 2: And I don't remember.
Speaker 4: The idea of reheating food was you took it out
Speaker 4: of whatever container it was stuck in the stove, put
Speaker 4: it on the stove, or put it back in the
Speaker 4: oven or something like that, and that has kind of
Speaker 4: gone by the wayside. I don't think microwaves themselves are dangerous.
Speaker 4: I'm not that guy. But the idea of putting something
Speaker 4: in a micro food in something and then in a microwave, might,
Speaker 4: you know, cause some question.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit shocked by your take on this,
Speaker 1: cause you're kind of like, I eat dog food, I'll
Speaker 1: eat something off the floor.
Speaker 2: My stomach is made of steel.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that can hurt my immune system kind of guy.
Speaker 4: Well, I have said that I do have the gut
Speaker 4: biome of a Haitian street dog, which takes on a
Speaker 4: different connotation in the current event. But I have said, listen,
Speaker 4: I don't often I have been in situations where other
Speaker 4: people get sick eating food that I don't get sick,
Speaker 4: and we eat the same thing.
Speaker 1: And now you're worried about the plastics though, So that's
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. Jacob I think warms up his lunch
Speaker 1: in the tupperware that he brings.
Speaker 2: Is that accurate?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Jacob is yours is glass glass. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a plastic lid though. Oh, you got to get rid
Speaker 3: of that plastic lid.
Speaker 4: Well, what if it's bills, Put a paper towel over
Speaker 4: the top of that.
Speaker 2: That plastic lid is going to kill you. Nice knowing you.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I hope that chicken and rice is good
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: What about that goldfish you just had?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm eating like a child because I hit up
Speaker 1: the meal room before I get here. Is free you
Speaker 1: just have like yeah, they have like snackshout like meat,
Speaker 1: jerky and goldfish.
Speaker 4: You hear that, guys, They have free stuff in other
Speaker 4: iHeart offices.
Speaker 2: No, No, this is the Chargers meal room.
Speaker 4: The Chargers meal room. What do you think so this
Speaker 4: is days old now?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, the teams at the hotel, the meal rooms open.
Speaker 3: Oh, I see what you're saying, got.
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours, so they've just got like snacks laying
Speaker 1: around there. However, to your point, they do have free
Speaker 1: snacks at Charlotte iHeart, just like they.
Speaker 2: Did in Chicago. But we do too.
Speaker 1: We have a snack drawer. Michelle manages our snack drawer
Speaker 1: at work in Burbank.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's some Michelle, that's not the company. So
Speaker 4: she does it out of the goodness of her heart.
Speaker 4: She doesn't because she's a good person. Why do you
Speaker 4: give her some money? I do give her money.
Speaker 2: Okay, good.
Speaker 3: That poor bag never stood a chance.
Speaker 4: No, it did not sound a surprise. It sounds like
Speaker 4: you're just eating the bag.
Speaker 3: Im hi hi ye.
Speaker 8: This is Heather from Oxnard. Oh my gosh, Annon, I
Speaker 8: literally laughed out loud in my car when you were
Speaker 8: talking about the spice rack and the spices being like alive, older,
Speaker 8: like longer than you were. My mom same thing right
Speaker 8: above the stove, and I would tell her about it,
Speaker 8: and she say it's still good as long as it's
Speaker 8: not moldy. Yeah, thank you guys are awesome.
Speaker 1: By I mean, when do you think those spices lost
Speaker 1: any sort of spice flavoring, because they do turn bad.
Speaker 1: I mean not bad or they're going to hurt you,
Speaker 1: but they're just not going to add any spice to
Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to say.
Speaker 3: Fights up, They're just going to taste like sawdust at
Speaker 3: some point.
Speaker 9: Gary, you're talking about the plastics and the food right now.
Speaker 9: You've got to check out the podcast A Tucker interview
Speaker 9: with Casey Means. She had a book too, called Good Energy.
Speaker 3: She's a doctor.
Speaker 9: She talks about how the processed food we're eating is
Speaker 9: just basically poisoning and poisoning us all the plastics in
Speaker 9: the packaging, in the environment.
Speaker 3: It's really good, really good.
Speaker 9: Listen, and I'm about halfway through the book and it's
Speaker 9: pretty eye opening.
Speaker 4: I haven't read the book, but I did hear that
Speaker 4: podcast that may be what to Flip the Switch and
Speaker 4: me Casey means her brother Calli means, we're both.
Speaker 3: On that podcast with Tucker Carlson. Listen. You know it's
Speaker 3: not the Tucker part that was important.
Speaker 4: It was the part that it was Casey and Calli means,
Speaker 4: but it's really good.
Speaker 6: One more, that's interesting listening to you guys talking about
Speaker 6: the attempted assassination on Trump. Gary keeps saying a crazy guy.
Speaker 6: He's a lunatic, he's crazy. Yeah, of course, Gary, that's
Speaker 6: because your party, the Republican Party, has made it possible
Speaker 6: for crazy people to go into a store and buy
Speaker 6: all the guns, all the AMMO they want. You can
Speaker 6: thank the Republican Party for this. They're the ones who
Speaker 6: want terrorists and criminals and mental patients to have AR fifteen.
Speaker 3: All right, First of all, not my party.
Speaker 4: Second of all, you cannot go into any gun store
Speaker 4: in California and just buy as much as you want.
Speaker 4: Third thing, the guy broke every law designed to keep
Speaker 4: guns away. So you're going to make a law that
Speaker 4: keeps crazy people away from guns. That's a good thing.
Speaker 4: The crazy people are not going to follow the law.
Speaker 4: That's by definition what makes them crazy to begin with.
Speaker 4: But well, let's make another law just in case, so
Speaker 4: that maybe the crazy people stop.
Speaker 3: I'm done.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about kids that have no friends.
Speaker 3: Good idea.
Speaker 5: Hey, Gary and Shannon, this is Shannon for Mission Dieho.
Speaker 5: I have three kids, one who's almost nineteen in college.
Speaker 5: And he can't make friends because apparently in college friendships
Speaker 5: are not like snapchat. You can't just talk to somebody
Speaker 5: for five seconds and then not talk to them again.
Speaker 5: So he can't figure out how to make friends. And
Speaker 5: then my other two kids, who are nine and four,
Speaker 5: I have no friends now these days. Who will even
Speaker 5: let any kids.
Speaker 3: Have a sleepover.
Speaker 9: It's just non existence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that, And what's the deal with that?
Speaker 1: I mean, those were some of the best nights of
Speaker 1: my life, laughing till my stomach hurt, eating junk food,
Speaker 1: watching horror movies and you know, just talking all night
Speaker 1: like that was some of the best times.
Speaker 4: I think it's just the ubiquity of bad stuff that's
Speaker 4: available to kids today. What do you mean without porn,
Speaker 4: horror movies, whatever thing you don't want your kid to
Speaker 4: do too early is available.
Speaker 1: Why don't you just take your kids phones or whatever,
Speaker 1: put them in a box ups, throw the kids in
Speaker 1: another room, and just give them an old fashioned television
Speaker 1: do you have to?
Speaker 3: Which is fine?
Speaker 4: I agree, but but you've got to coordinate that with
Speaker 4: where your kids are going with the parents. Are they
Speaker 4: on the same page with you like that? Because you
Speaker 4: could take your kid's phone, but there's seven other phones
Speaker 4: in that, you know, in that party.
Speaker 2: Something I can see where that would be very difficult.
Speaker 8: Good afternoon, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9: I can relate this topic concerning kids not having friends.
Speaker 8: I have a eleven year old daughter that.
Speaker 4: Pre COVID was a social butterfly.
Speaker 5: And then after.
Speaker 4: Almost two years you didn't go to school, came back
Speaker 4: and just could not.
Speaker 3: Make friends.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting point because we talk about the learning
Speaker 4: loss of COVID closures, right, what that did to kids
Speaker 4: in terms of being behind for math, science, writing, re
Speaker 4: that sort of.
Speaker 2: Thing, but socializing especially.
Speaker 4: I mean there's there's some key times in their team,
Speaker 4: key times fourteen that we interrupted because well.
Speaker 2: We didn't well and I didn't.
Speaker 10: I was a little bit worried about my son because
Speaker 10: they closed the schools halfway through his fifth grade year
Speaker 10: around here. That's the last year of elementary and then
Speaker 10: his first year of junior high school was spent at home,
Speaker 10: so it was a little bit rough through seventh and
Speaker 10: eighth grade. And my son's kind of nerdy, and he
Speaker 10: has friends, you know, even the nerdy guys. You find
Speaker 10: your people. You always find your people.
Speaker 4: I agree, find your people and that's important. So when
Speaker 4: we come back, we're gonna do all of our trending stories.
Speaker 4: We've got some information, more information about these pagers that
Speaker 4: were exploding in the Middle East across Lebanon.
Speaker 3: That and some true crime coming up on a Tuesday afternoon,
Speaker 3: you've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
