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. So Splash is a rescue order
Speaker 1: that is working in Arizona.
Speaker 2: Seems out of place, but go on.
Speaker 1: Splash is being trained to sniff out evidence and victims
Speaker 1: in underwater settings. The search and rescue people say, if
Speaker 1: a body gets into a canal or a river and
Speaker 1: an alligator gets to them before we do, the gator
Speaker 1: will take the remains and stuff it somewhere and it
Speaker 1: makes it very difficult to find. The search dogs can
Speaker 1: get us into the area, but they can't get us
Speaker 1: from the boat to the bottom. The otters get us
Speaker 1: from the boat to the bottom. The otters can smell underwater.
Speaker 1: They're the only mammals that can smell underwater. Did you
Speaker 1: know that?
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: You know that there's so much crap going on in
Speaker 3: the world that you look for a good otter story
Speaker 3: to kind of set the tone, like a good oyster cracker,
Speaker 3: if you will, to cleanse the palette.
Speaker 1: I am an oyster cracker. Here's the thing I was.
Speaker 1: I am in Charlotte, came out here with the Chargers,
Speaker 1: and I'm immersed in the worlds of football, so it
Speaker 1: was so crushing to me this morning after a great
Speaker 1: game played by the Chargers here in Carolina. Of course,
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with the Panthers
Speaker 1: being the worst team in the NFL. However, they played wonderfully.
Speaker 1: It was so nice to see this performance. And then
Speaker 1: going back to the hotel, just sitting there having NFL
Speaker 1: Red Zone on my tablet, the Chiefs game on the TV,
Speaker 1: and just watching hours and hours of football. And then
Speaker 1: this morning waking up and looking at Trump assassination attempts
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris putting down all of America with her
Speaker 1: lawn comment, Oh this is this.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to even describe how weird this is.
Speaker 2: I was yesterday. I could not imagine.
Speaker 3: I thought when the first alerts came out that there
Speaker 3: was a shooting, you're the president of something like they were.
Speaker 2: They're okay, you're exaggerating.
Speaker 3: It was somewhere in the state of Florida, there was
Speaker 3: a shooting, and yes, Trump happened to be No, no,
Speaker 3: this was a legit. It appears a legit attempt at
Speaker 3: the guy's life again, and it's it's bothersome looks bad
Speaker 3: for the Secret Service, or it looks good for the
Speaker 3: Secret Service.
Speaker 2: I haven't figured it out yet, But well, they caught.
Speaker 1: Him before he was able to get in the I
Speaker 1: mean he was in the vicinity, as they're saying.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and then the question is, how could you
Speaker 3: still even get into the vicinity. How could you get
Speaker 3: within a couple hundred yards of a former president with
Speaker 3: an AK forty seven style rifle.
Speaker 2: I don't think you a scope as well? Yeah, the scope.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this, but it sounds like
Speaker 1: a scope increases your ability to hit a faraway target.
Speaker 3: I don't believe there was a scope on the rifle itself.
Speaker 3: I think it was a spotting scope that you would
Speaker 3: hold in your hand to judge a distance. Think of
Speaker 3: but remember the kid in Butler Pence, Sylvania had a
Speaker 3: rangefinder similar. I mean just in terms of he if
Speaker 3: he's going to use it to dial in the rifle,
Speaker 3: judge the distance, and that sort of thing that's possible
Speaker 3: possibly what he had. They were able to get this
Speaker 3: guy because once the Secret Service saw a rifle barrel
Speaker 3: poking through the shrubs on the sixth hole, I believe
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 1: I love it when they're shrubbery involved in a story
Speaker 1: because it makes me think of Monty Python shrubbery.
Speaker 3: Right, you're the only you're the only woman I know
Speaker 3: who thinks of Monty Python. That's a very that's a
Speaker 3: very male thing to think. Yeah, but a Secret Service
Speaker 3: agent saw the rifle barrel and apparently peeled off a
Speaker 3: couple of shots. We don't think that, Ryan Wesley Routh,
Speaker 3: this fifty eight year old suspect was able to get
Speaker 3: any shots off, but he left his position. He got up,
Speaker 3: and he ran jumps into a Nissan pathfinder. I believe
Speaker 3: somebody sees him do that and thinks that's weird. I
Speaker 3: don't know why, but they think it's weird. They take
Speaker 3: a picture of not just the vehicle, but they happened
Speaker 3: to capture the license plate. License plate gets called into
Speaker 3: nine one. One gets fed into license plate readers around
Speaker 3: that area in Palm Beach County and Martin County. They
Speaker 3: catch him on I ninety five and then in the
Speaker 3: neighboring county and then Martin County. Sheriff explains they followed him.
Speaker 2: For a while.
Speaker 3: They got all their resources in place so that they
Speaker 3: could make an effective stop and that he was there
Speaker 3: a short time after the actual traffic stop, and he
Speaker 3: said the whole thing was perplexing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there right after the stop, and it
Speaker 4: was perplexing. You know, somebody who actually, at the time,
Speaker 4: we were positive that we had the suspect, we had
Speaker 4: the vehicle, we thought we had him, but his facial
Speaker 4: affect was so flat, his demeanor was relaxed. I honestly
Speaker 4: thought it looked like somebody that just left the church
Speaker 4: picnic and was on his way home. And I mean
Speaker 4: the Interstate was calling with law enforcement. We had, you know,
Speaker 4: our team had gotten out their rifles, helicopter five, shut down,
Speaker 4: a bomb dog, everything was there. He was as calm
Speaker 4: as as really is if he was going for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Just the guy's odd.
Speaker 3: His own son says, oh Dad, you know he's he's
Speaker 3: adamant about his feelings, but he's not one to do
Speaker 3: this bat ass crazy stuff.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I didn't know about the rider die Ukraine. People that
Speaker 1: feel so strongly about Ukraine that in helping Ukraine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that they've they've picked up taking up arms against Russia.
Speaker 1: I also think that we're wasting our time sometimes when
Speaker 1: we go on these retrospective Who are these people? What
Speaker 1: made them the way they are? What do we know
Speaker 1: about their life? Because they're just crazy people crazy.
Speaker 3: We want to ascribe some sort of logical progression to
Speaker 3: the guy's you know, downfall, or his his decision making
Speaker 3: where he's going to pick up a rifle and aim
Speaker 3: at a former president. It's almost as if, well, I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not like we're going to find somebody and go,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: That reminds me my neighbor Dave.
Speaker 3: I wonder if I should call somebody about my neighbor Dave,
Speaker 3: because he also feels like Russia is impinging upon Ukraine's sovereignty.
Speaker 1: Well, and also if you had a neighbor Dave who
Speaker 1: was crazy and always ranting about the Ukraine sovereignty, who
Speaker 1: would you call about that? And what would they do?
Speaker 1: And is there a mechanism to where you can raise
Speaker 1: the red flag to the crazy police and say this
Speaker 1: person seems to be close to losing it and he's
Speaker 1: got guns.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 3: There's nothing you can do because it potentially would depend
Speaker 3: on who he was threatening if it even got to
Speaker 3: that level, you know.
Speaker 2: But there's more on this.
Speaker 3: In fact, We have an interview that he did with
Speaker 3: Newsweek Romania where he describes why he's in Ukraine, why
Speaker 3: he's fighting.
Speaker 2: On behalf of the Ukrainians against the Russians.
Speaker 1: Our engineer is here with me in Charlotte, and I
Speaker 1: was explaining to one of my friends about the show
Speaker 1: and said, I don't really remember the context, but he said,
Speaker 1: Gary is a beautiful man, and uh, couples spoken a
Speaker 1: couple of things. I don't know if I've heard a
Speaker 1: man referred to as beautiful and not you either, not
Speaker 1: that you're not beautiful in your own way.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 1: God's creatures are all beautiful. But I don't I didn't
Speaker 1: know that Rich felt that way about you. You know,
Speaker 1: it was completely unsolicited. It came out of nowhere.
Speaker 3: That's going to make a very odd first interaction when
Speaker 3: we come back, when I see Rich in the hallway,
Speaker 3: I know, but there you go. Apparently we've made neighbor
Speaker 3: Dave mad already.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, neighbor day from I'm gonna be honest with you,
Speaker 5: I'm Dave, But I got a neighbor's he's got the
Speaker 5: Ukraine flag and the ground still and up in arms
Speaker 5: and probably voting for Kara, So we call it neighbor
Speaker 5: Steve instead of neighbor Dave.
Speaker 1: Thanks case, sorry, Dave's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, neighbor Dave's. I didn't realize that that was
Speaker 3: going to be quite was going to be the issue.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about the media strategy involving Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, you have heard. Which one? Are you talking
Speaker 2: about the Laura Lumer version of the media strategy?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I didn't know she
Speaker 1: was involved with this romance. But the alleged media plan
Speaker 1: says that they're going to break up on September twenty eighth. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's the strategy. But now they're threatening legal action against
Speaker 1: whoever made this up. Now, if somebody came out and
Speaker 1: said that you and your wife were going to get
Speaker 1: a divorce on September twenty eighth, you would be like, okay, buddy, okay, Dave, whatever, right.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't threaten the law. You wouldn't.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't call your lawyers because there's nothing there there.
Speaker 2: That is a great point.
Speaker 3: We could we could see some snow this week, still
Speaker 3: in summer, but they're talking about Yosemite National Park among
Speaker 3: other places in the Sierra Nevada could see snow this week.
Speaker 3: This trough of low pressure that's coming through, swinging through
Speaker 3: southeast and swinging southeast, I should say, through northern and
Speaker 3: central California. Cold air, snow level down around eight thousand feet,
Speaker 3: some measurable snow possible before.
Speaker 2: The end of this week at Yosemite.
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about this attempted assassination attempt, if
Speaker 1: that's what you want to call it, that's how it's
Speaker 1: being investigated. And I was thinking, Wow, strange times we
Speaker 1: are in that people feel like they can take shots
Speaker 1: at a former president who's running again. Strange times. But
Speaker 1: then you know, you stumble upon the story about Gerald Ford.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean that's before my time. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't privy to what happened with Gerald Ford, but
Speaker 1: he escaped two assassination attempts within like three weeks in California,
Speaker 1: one in Sacramento, the other in San Francisco. And it
Speaker 1: was both brought It was both women brought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, brought to you by ladies from the great state
Speaker 3: of California. And the first one it was September fifth,
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five, squeaky from a follower of Charles Manson.
Speaker 3: She points a gun at Ford, and originally I thought
Speaker 3: that it misfired. The report I saw today set a
Speaker 3: Secret Service agent actually grabbed the gun from her before
Speaker 3: she was able to get a shot off, and then
Speaker 3: she was taken into custody.
Speaker 1: And she was wearing a bright red dress. Who tries
Speaker 1: to take a shot at the president wearing a red dress?
Speaker 1: Usually when you put on a red dress, you feel good,
Speaker 1: you feel confident, you.
Speaker 2: Want all eyes on you.
Speaker 1: With there we do.
Speaker 3: And then seventeen days later, I think it was September
Speaker 3: twenty second. In that same year seventy five, Sarah Jane
Speaker 3: Moore tried to assassinate him. Ford had made an address
Speaker 3: to the World Affairs Council in San Francisco, and she
Speaker 3: was just a bad shot. She did fire a couple
Speaker 3: shots at the president with a thirty eight special.
Speaker 1: Was it taken as serious you lived back then?
Speaker 2: Was I remember that very well?
Speaker 1: Was it taken as seriously as everyone's taking this?
Speaker 4: Or is he was?
Speaker 1: The thought process? These are just two crazy broads.
Speaker 3: There's I think there's some I vaguely remember the attempt
Speaker 3: on Reagan's life very different circumstances, because obviously there was
Speaker 3: a point where there was some concern that the president
Speaker 3: was going to die. That has not been the case, thankfully,
Speaker 3: in these you know, these two attempts. But I mean,
Speaker 3: it was wall to wall coverage constantly with Reagan. And
Speaker 3: I remember, I think it was Newsweek magazine that my
Speaker 3: parents subscribed to, and I remember seeing an image on
Speaker 3: the inside one of the articles describing that where the
Speaker 3: path of the bullet in Reagan's body and how close
Speaker 3: he was to having his heart shredded by the bullet
Speaker 3: fragments that made its way into his chest cavity. That
Speaker 3: kind of that kind of imagery is will forever be
Speaker 3: in my head, whether it's because I was what eight
Speaker 3: years old at the time or whatever. But I don't
Speaker 3: think that those images last as long today in someone's
Speaker 3: head for a couple of different reasons. Number One, our
Speaker 3: news cycle turns so quickly that it can easily be
Speaker 3: replaced by a stupid story about a barbecued dog or
Speaker 3: an otter that can smell underwater.
Speaker 1: Barbecued dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just talking about all those stories about eating
Speaker 3: the animals. Oh yeah, I mean that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: There are some iconic images from the assassination.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're barbecuing the cats and dogs and
Speaker 1: the ducks.
Speaker 2: Well, how else are they gonna eat them.
Speaker 1: I think they're just grabbing them and just cheating them. Raw.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the latest version.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are iconic images of that Butler pa attempt,
Speaker 3: you know what, the president former president was in the
Speaker 3: air and the flag in the background, surrounded by the
Speaker 3: Secret Service agent. Some of those images will live on,
Speaker 3: but I mean it was almost like a shoulder shrug yesterday.
Speaker 3: I think for some people that somebody tried to assassinate
Speaker 3: a a former president, be a major presidential candidate, and
Speaker 3: there's no one.
Speaker 2: I mean President Biden. He still is the president.
Speaker 3: By the way, he came out and said that, I
Speaker 3: think we need more personnel. I mean, I want someone's
Speaker 3: head to be on fire about this. Regardless of whether
Speaker 3: or not you like the guy or don't. This is
Speaker 3: not a path that is good for anyone to go down.
Speaker 3: And if politicians and pundits and talking heads and people
Speaker 3: on both sides, if they don't start taking responsibility for
Speaker 3: the words that come out of their mouth and the
Speaker 3: just absolute constant stoking of the fires, and the other
Speaker 3: side is bad and they're evil and they are plotting
Speaker 3: the destruction of the country or whatever.
Speaker 2: This it's gonna get. It's gonna get worse.
Speaker 3: Two assassination attempts in two months is going to seem
Speaker 3: like ice cream Sunday. I saw the sheriff in Palm
Speaker 3: Beach County yesterday when he was doing his news conference,
Speaker 3: and he suggested that because Donald Trump is a former president,
Speaker 3: the level of security around him is smaller than if
Speaker 3: he were the sitting president. Obviously, but there are certain
Speaker 3: and I don't I don't know the exact size or
Speaker 3: what the concentric circles would be. A sitting president obviously
Speaker 3: would have the highest level of security. Vice president would
Speaker 3: probably have the exact same, and then from there you've got,
Speaker 3: you know, the heads of the major candidates. And that's
Speaker 3: obviously one of the reasons why Trump has the protection,
Speaker 3: but also because he is a former president and he
Speaker 3: has a Secret Service protection for the rest of his life.
Speaker 1: I have a conspiracy theory that this was done because
Speaker 1: Trump needs attention. I think somebody in his orbit did
Speaker 1: this to revive what happened in Pennsylvania. Put that back
Speaker 1: on our radar, get some attention, win a news cycle.
Speaker 1: He hasn't won a news cycle. He's been struggling ever
Speaker 1: since the debate.
Speaker 2: But how does that happen?
Speaker 3: And I'm not how how does somebody cook up this idea,
Speaker 3: find this guy who's crazy enough to be convinced to
Speaker 3: do this and throw away the rest of his life?
Speaker 2: For what I mean? I what was? How how do
Speaker 2: you do it?
Speaker 1: Well? You find you do just that. You find someone
Speaker 1: crazy enough, somebody who's ranting online or on you know,
Speaker 1: Reddit or Discord or what have you about Ukraine, and
Speaker 1: that feels strongly and you use your back channels to
Speaker 1: get them to remember that girl who convinced that guy
Speaker 1: to kill him? Be a text message. I mean, when
Speaker 1: somebody's crazy, it's easy to manipulate them to do what
Speaker 1: you want them to do. And I think that it's
Speaker 1: a plausible plot. And the other thing is I'm not
Speaker 1: convinced Trump doesn't have some sort of knowledge about this.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who's spent his life
Speaker 1: getting ratings. It's a guy who loves the teas, a
Speaker 1: guy who knows how to put on a show a production,
Speaker 1: and he would be the ultimate showrunner in.
Speaker 3: This situation, Well, there is a couple of weird There's
Speaker 3: a weird thing that has come out that I just
Speaker 3: saw the report on. Amy mentioned it a few minutes
Speaker 3: ago that allegedly this guy, Ryan Routh had spent twelve
Speaker 3: hours at the Trump National golf course before Secret Service
Speaker 3: spotted him there.
Speaker 2: Now, the other what makes that unusual is.
Speaker 3: This golf outing was supposedly a last minute decision that
Speaker 3: nobody knew about it except Trump, the guy that he
Speaker 3: was playing with, and a couple of his people around him.
Speaker 1: And how would this guy know where to find him?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: And I mean not, I think that kind of maybe
Speaker 3: lends a little accidental credence to what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: How does it How does a guy who out of nowhere.
Speaker 3: Either hates the president or whatever his motivation is, how
Speaker 3: does he know that Trump was going to be there?
Speaker 2: And I mean, from that point, it does.
Speaker 1: That's my conspiracy theory.
Speaker 4: M h.
Speaker 3: From that point, it doesn't take a lot of math
Speaker 3: to go, Okay, if I'm gonna if I'm gonna target
Speaker 3: somebody on a golf course, the only guaranteed place that
Speaker 3: a golf player is going to be is on the
Speaker 3: t box and depending if you're playing with me or
Speaker 3: not on the green now, And apparently he was set up,
Speaker 3: I think it was close to the sixth green if
Speaker 3: the diagram that I saw was anywhere close to true.
Speaker 2: But but that would make sense.
Speaker 3: And in fact, I know that they said that he
Speaker 3: was about four hundred yards or whatever, the length of
Speaker 3: distance between where he was set up and where the
Speaker 3: president actually was when this went down.
Speaker 2: But he was getting closer. I mean, as Trump made
Speaker 2: his way around that.
Speaker 3: Golf course from the fifth hole to the sixth hole,
Speaker 3: he was eventually going to be very, very close to
Speaker 3: this guy. And again there is a question, yes, and
Speaker 3: I want to play a quick talkback, but there is
Speaker 3: a question of from different law enforcement agents, or I
Speaker 3: should say, from news anchors to law enforcement agents, both
Speaker 3: former and current, could anything else have been done? Was
Speaker 3: this technically a success? Were there enough Secret Service agents there?
Speaker 6: That's always going to be a question that you have
Speaker 6: to take a look at in the aftermath of something
Speaker 6: like this. But I also think that according to their plan,
Speaker 6: it worked as it was supposed to work. The other
Speaker 6: only option that you have is to close off the
Speaker 6: entire area, and I don't know if you can do.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a big public area, there's a lot
Speaker 6: of activity, there's businesses that are working. I mean, if
Speaker 6: he wants to play golf, he can play golf. But
Speaker 6: there is going to be that inherent risk. Again, you
Speaker 6: put your resources out there in the manner that you do,
Speaker 6: and you're able to subvert the threat the way.
Speaker 4: That they did.
Speaker 3: That's Frank Montoya, former FBI Secrets Sorry, special agent.
Speaker 1: So we've got special agents calling in on the talkback.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. This was the guy from the
Speaker 2: talk back, Garry Shannon. You know, I've been listening and
Speaker 2: I don't understand this narrative of was this a secret
Speaker 2: service success or is this a Secret service failure? They
Speaker 2: stopped the guy. It's Florida.
Speaker 7: Florida is nothing but bushes and trees. If anyone has
Speaker 7: been there, you can see just quarter mile distances between
Speaker 7: even meager houses, which is nothing but like just tree
Speaker 7: lines and things you can hide. In the fact that
Speaker 7: the secret Service agent saw a barrel pointing out of
Speaker 7: the bushes and took a shot at the guy and
Speaker 7: stopped him before it even started, that sounds like a
Speaker 7: success to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, but there is still a question,
Speaker 3: how does a guy get that close to a former
Speaker 3: president with a rifle like that?
Speaker 1: Was this woman on your radar? This Laura Lumer Maga
Speaker 1: shorder activist.
Speaker 2: I actually saw a bit of her stuff.
Speaker 3: I had to be after the first assassination at Tip
Speaker 3: it started coming up on in Twitter and on my
Speaker 3: feed in that she was responding to stories that were
Speaker 3: just high profile and she had a certain amount of
Speaker 3: I don't want to say credibility, but she had a
Speaker 3: certain amount of information that made it seem like she
Speaker 3: was getting some sort of inside scoop from somewhere. A
Speaker 3: lot of it turned out to just be, you know,
Speaker 3: empty promises of I'm going to have a document dump
Speaker 3: that's going to prove that the shooter in Butler, PA
Speaker 3: was funded by Democrats or whatever.
Speaker 1: And yes, she's one of those they're eating animals in Springfield,
Speaker 1: Ohio people. From what I see that she writes, she's
Speaker 1: just incendiary for the sake of being in cyndiary, it seems,
Speaker 1: but maybe a true believer also, she's not going to
Speaker 1: get him anywhere when it comes to swing voters in
Speaker 1: or swing state voters. It's just it's another thing that
Speaker 1: he's doing that's only going to help him with his
Speaker 1: base where he doesn't need help.
Speaker 3: Well, And even that, I don't, I don't, I don't,
Speaker 3: that's not a guarantee. I mean, the Tom Tillis's, the
Speaker 3: the Lindsay Grahams, even like you said, the Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 3: Greens in the Republican Party have said that this woman
Speaker 3: should be kept at arm's length, that she should not well.
Speaker 3: According to a couple of different reports, he wanted to
Speaker 3: hire her last year as part of the campaign, and
Speaker 3: his senior advisors were like, absolutely not. You do not
Speaker 3: want to get she is nuclear do you do not
Speaker 3: want her in your circle.
Speaker 1: So this is what she wrote on social media this
Speaker 1: week about Kamala Harris. The White House will smell like
Speaker 1: curry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a
Speaker 1: call center. Now, that wasn't a off color joke that
Speaker 1: she made to a friend, a dumb joke, but she
Speaker 1: published that. She put her name behind that and publicized it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Trump was asked about his relationship with her
Speaker 3: at that news conference that he did down in our
Speaker 3: RPV last week, and all he basically said was, I
Speaker 3: know her, I know she's a big fan of the
Speaker 3: campaign and then said I don't know what she said,
Speaker 3: which is listen, I don't know if he does, if
Speaker 3: he knew or not what she wrote, which was completely stupid.
Speaker 3: But see, you can't and this is I think this
Speaker 3: is an example her. She is an example of what's
Speaker 3: wrong with both sides at this point, because you can't.
Speaker 3: Republicans don't hold the higher ground when it comes to
Speaker 3: throwing out stupid, baseless claims that do nothing to further
Speaker 3: the political discourse. That was a stupid thing. And the
Speaker 3: fact that she's as high profile as she is, having
Speaker 3: traveled with the former president in the day's previous that
Speaker 3: that's a complete distraction. It's an obvious mistake that you
Speaker 3: could have avoided by not having her that close to
Speaker 3: the to the candidate.
Speaker 1: That gets you nowhere in Georgia, that gets you nowhere
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, two key states.
Speaker 3: Right, there's no independent, there's no one who's like, I
Speaker 3: don't know who I'm going to vote for. Who then
Speaker 3: sees that and is like, oh, that's what. I don't
Speaker 3: want Curry in my white House.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to let that sit there, you know, thanks,
Speaker 1: I want I want Curry in my White House. I
Speaker 1: actually saw there's a Thai restaurant, not thaie Indian restaurant.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. I did see a Thai restaurant as well.
Speaker 2: But they probably got some curry too.
Speaker 1: I saw an Indian restaurant the other day right around
Speaker 1: the corner from the hotel, and I've been tasting chicken
Speaker 1: Tika masala ever since. I may go there.
Speaker 3: Boy, what a great sit down interview Kamala Harris did
Speaker 3: with awful a Channel six Action News out of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: I cannot get over the condescension. And she hasn't done
Speaker 1: this for a long time, and there it is. It
Speaker 1: reared its ugly head, just the condescension over her saying
Speaker 1: she grew up with people who cared about their lawns.
Speaker 1: Oh like oh, the little people who only just cared
Speaker 1: about only have pride in their lawn.
Speaker 3: But it's just like what was And that's the thing
Speaker 3: is was that a message to supporters of hers that
Speaker 3: they would know exactly what she meant by that.
Speaker 2: Here's here's her answer.
Speaker 8: I try to explain to some people who may not
Speaker 8: have had the same experience, you know, if but a
Speaker 8: lot of people will relate to this, you know, I
Speaker 8: grew up in a neighborhood of folks who are very proud.
Speaker 1: Of their lawn, you know, And.
Speaker 8: I was raised to believe and to know that all
Speaker 8: people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a
