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: Twenty four hours makes a pretty significant difference in the
Speaker 2: posture we find ourselves in.
Speaker 3: President Trump.
Speaker 2: Somehow was able to get a ceasefire deal, it appears,
Speaker 2: between Iran and Israel.
Speaker 1: He is fancying himself as the framer of this ceasefire,
Speaker 1: as the guy who went in and made the deal
Speaker 1: and got it done, and then he advertised it as such.
Speaker 1: To me, this is clearly someone in Iran is just
Speaker 1: pissed off and says, you know what, I am not
Speaker 1: giving up, I am not surrendering, and fires off whatever
Speaker 1: he has control over.
Speaker 3: One of the Yeah, last gas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, We've seen it before. We've seen it in conflicts before.
Speaker 2: So there was there was a very long drawn out
Speaker 2: description of what was going to happened with the two
Speaker 2: sides between Israel and Iran when that first deal came
Speaker 2: out yesterday afternoon our time, and it was a suggestion
Speaker 2: that one side was going to stop whatever it's doing,
Speaker 2: and then six hours later the other side was going
Speaker 2: to stop whatever it was doing, and then twelve hours
Speaker 2: after that both sides would be committed to a complete
Speaker 2: ceasefire for twenty four hours, after which a full listen.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of steps on there. It didn't
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. Something happened, someone fired off
Speaker 2: a missile or missiles it looks like towards northern Israel
Speaker 2: didn't cause any damage. Whether it was taken down or
Speaker 2: it fell into an area that was not populated also unclear.
Speaker 2: But there was then a phone call that took place
Speaker 2: between President Trump and Benjamin and Yahoo because Israelis were like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're not going to let that stand. You can't just
Speaker 2: break a ceasefire and not have us punch back. So
Speaker 2: the President this morning is on Air Force one and
Speaker 2: he's headed towards the Netherlands for the big NATO summit
Speaker 2: that's coming up this week, which by the way, also
Speaker 2: takes on a completely different tone, and he joint is pissed.
Speaker 4: He went after both Israel and Iran.
Speaker 5: You know, when I say, okay, now you have twelve hours,
Speaker 5: you don't go out in the first hour. It just
Speaker 5: drop everything you have on him. So I'm not happy
Speaker 5: with them. I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm
Speaker 5: really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because the
Speaker 5: one rocket that didn't land, that was shut perhaps by
Speaker 5: mistake that didn't land. I'm not happy about that. What
Speaker 5: we have, we basically have two countries that have been
Speaker 5: fighting so long and so hard that they don't know
Speaker 5: what the food they're doing. Do you understand that?
Speaker 2: And then he walked away and immediately boarded air Force.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Marine won.
Speaker 4: I asked you.
Speaker 1: I don't remember publicly hearing a president used the F
Speaker 1: word like that.
Speaker 4: Just shows how pissed off he just is.
Speaker 1: Considering. He put his name on this ceasefire. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: and he named the war. He did the twelve Day
Speaker 1: War call of the twelve Day War as it should
Speaker 1: be known from here on out, the Twelve Day War.
Speaker 1: Like he's writing the history books.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty good at marketing.
Speaker 4: This is a brand manager.
Speaker 2: Barackravid is a writer for Axios, and he talks about
Speaker 2: this phone call that allegedly took place. Well, we know
Speaker 2: it took place, but the tone of the call between
Speaker 2: President Trump and Benjamin NETANYAHUO, which apparently convinced the Israeli
Speaker 2: Prime minister to basically stop whatever retaliatory attack he was
Speaker 2: going to impose on Iran for that lone missile that
Speaker 2: was fired despite their being a ceasefire.
Speaker 6: One US official told me, Trump was very direct and
Speaker 6: firm with what he told Natani. He basically told nat
Speaker 6: aboard mission and Nataniau, according to Israeli officials, told the
Speaker 6: President look and to board mission. The Ranians violated the ceasefire,
Speaker 6: the fire the missile. I have to do something. So
Speaker 6: at the end, Atanyao told Trump that he's going to
Speaker 6: scale back this attack. And from a list of a
Speaker 6: dozen targets, many of them in the center of Tehran,
Speaker 6: at the end, the IDF struck one target, one radar
Speaker 6: outside of Tehran.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a couple things to keep in mind here.
Speaker 2: There have been seven four and ninety seven ceasefires in
Speaker 2: the Middle East in the last one hundred years.
Speaker 3: This is not.
Speaker 2: All kudos and all credit to the parties that are
Speaker 2: involved here for this being a ceasefire to ratchet down
Speaker 2: what we saw a week ago as the doorsteps to
Speaker 2: World War three. So that's good, but this does not
Speaker 2: mean this is over by any means. And in fact,
Speaker 2: we know that an Iraqi army spokesman has said that
Speaker 2: drones hit some military bases in Iraq, including some where
Speaker 2: American forces are stationed. That is very different than the
Speaker 2: missile barrage that we saw yesterday towards the American air
Speaker 2: base in Kaher. But this does not necessarily mean it
Speaker 2: is over all. Ceasefires in that part of the world
Speaker 2: are tenuous at best.
Speaker 1: Yes, but this one seems to be like it is
Speaker 1: going to be lasting in my opinion, Number one, because
Speaker 1: Iran has nothing, and what does Iran have Iran everyone's
Speaker 1: trying to pretend that they have won this or trying
Speaker 1: to frame this or spin this or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to say about that.
Speaker 4: How they have won. Whether it's United States coming.
Speaker 1: In and decimating Iran's nuclear program and then putting in
Speaker 1: place a ceasefire, whether it's Israel taking full advantage of
Speaker 1: the attacks from October seventh and going after Hesbalah and
Speaker 1: Hamas and now Iran and enlisting the United States to
Speaker 1: do its dirty work, or Aroan striking that air base
Speaker 1: and doing so stopping all further attacks from Israel and
Speaker 1: the United States so that they can rebuild their nuclear program.
Speaker 1: Everybody has a way to spin this so that they
Speaker 1: have won at this moment, and I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: wants to ruin that, all right? Coming up next, oil
Speaker 1: prices dropping further. We talked about this yesterday, stops pulling
Speaker 1: close to their all time high on hopes that this
Speaker 1: thing has died down.
Speaker 4: We'll get you the details when we come back.
Speaker 2: Also a chance for you don't want a thousand bucks.
Speaker 2: Right around the corner, you're.
Speaker 7: Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 7: six forty.
Speaker 1: I love the way the Associated Press writes this up
Speaker 1: of the Oklahoma City Thunder's victory parade for winning the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals is today, but listen to how the AP
Speaker 1: writes it up. Oklahoma City's unwavering fans finally get to
Speaker 1: celebrate a championship after several close calls and heartbreaking moments.
Speaker 4: The past two decades. Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 1: The Thunder has been in existence since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: Unwavering fans. Come on, Talk to the Bills fans.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Talk to a fan base that has been through it
Speaker 1: for more than two decades.
Speaker 4: How about you know the Bears.
Speaker 1: There's so many fan bases that look at that sentence
Speaker 1: and just chuckle to themselves.
Speaker 4: Right since two thousand and.
Speaker 2: Eight, somebody somewhere as an eighty seven year old. I
Speaker 2: don't know White Sox.
Speaker 1: Exactly who lived through the twenties. He lived through the
Speaker 1: Black Sox scandal.
Speaker 2: Today is expected to be the hottest day of the
Speaker 2: week back in the Northeast, and municipalities have simply been
Speaker 2: telling people to stay inside. Temperatures about fifteen to twenty
Speaker 2: five degrees above average today and some areas will see
Speaker 2: a heat index that feels like reading of around one
Speaker 2: hundred and ten degrees and again much more humid back there.
Speaker 2: Tropical Storm Andre is the first tropical storm of the
Speaker 2: season in the Atlantic, but it is in the middle
Speaker 2: of nowhere. It's not going to go and in fact,
Speaker 2: they're saying as quickly as it became a tropical storm,
Speaker 2: it will probably lose powers it makes its way farther
Speaker 2: north in the Atlantic.

Speaker 1: I feel like we do this every year around summer
Speaker 1: time for you to tell people how to how to
Speaker 1: be careful. Yeah, hi, high, drink water out of the sun.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how many people don't know to drink water.
Speaker 1: It seems like it would be one of those things
Speaker 1: that you would realize just common sense gets hotter, drink
Speaker 1: more water.
Speaker 4: That's not the case. A lot of people don't drink water.
Speaker 4: It turns out, well, maybe it's done within the herd
Speaker 4: a little bit with dehydration.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're not smarter.
Speaker 4: Though, yeah, yeah, yeah, why not? Why not?
Speaker 3: I want you breeding.
Speaker 1: The Dow was up four forty seven, and like we
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, oil prices, while up four percent on Sunday,
Speaker 1: were down seven percent yesterday.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no, I'm affirming.
Speaker 2: I love that, and down another six percent already today.
Speaker 3: Yesterday's volatility was.
Speaker 2: Proven by the fact that oil for brint crude trading
Speaker 2: was about a twelve dollars swing, which was the widest
Speaker 2: range of volatility in the last several years. So to
Speaker 2: give you an idea, the concern was yesterday, at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the day we knew that Iran was going
Speaker 2: to retaliate.
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 2: There was discussion about shutting down the Straight of Horn Moose,
Speaker 2: which we've said multiple times now is basically a route
Speaker 2: that sees twenty percent of the world's daily oil production
Speaker 2: shipped through there, that if they were to shut down
Speaker 2: the Straight of Poor Moves, it was going to cause problems.
Speaker 2: We were going to see prices spiked to somewhere around
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty bucks a barrel.
Speaker 3: None of that has come true.
Speaker 2: Oil right now is down to six below sixty five
Speaker 2: dollars of barrels already down about four dollars today, and
Speaker 2: the expectation is now granted, there are people who have
Speaker 2: said here in California it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: It does matter.
Speaker 2: I mean granted, our gas prices obviously are going to
Speaker 2: be much higher than the and we know that, we
Speaker 2: know there's a new tax going in so that part
Speaker 2: of it is frustrating and anger inducing.
Speaker 1: I get it, yes, but it matters greatly for the
Speaker 1: bigger picture glow. If you zoom out, falling oil prices
Speaker 1: mean that the pressure is taken off inflation, which means
Speaker 1: that the FED will be more likely to cut interest rates.
Speaker 4: What happens If that happens, Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Gets excited because that means the economy gets a boost.
Speaker 1: It's cheaper for us and businesses to borrow money to
Speaker 1: buy a car, build a factory.
Speaker 4: Those could also give inflation more fuel.
Speaker 1: That's why the Fed has been kind of hesitant, very
Speaker 1: conservative when it comes to cutting rates. However, this might
Speaker 1: move them closer to doing so, which is huge for
Speaker 1: the big picture. Obviously, if you're buying a car, buying
Speaker 1: a home, all the things that are signs of a
Speaker 1: good economy.
Speaker 2: One of the things also is yesterday we're talking about
Speaker 2: the potential for American oil producers to increase production. One
Speaker 2: of the things that President Trump had suggested, in fact,
Speaker 2: on one of the truth Social put one of the
Speaker 2: many truth Social posts over the last seventy two hours
Speaker 2: was he's watching you oil producers, and he wants you
Speaker 2: to crank it up. Drill, baby, drill, and all these
Speaker 2: other things that he's encouraging oil companies to do but
Speaker 2: for a lot of time. For a lot of the
Speaker 2: companies that produce oil through fracking here in the United States,
Speaker 2: they're saying, we don't just do it because the President
Speaker 2: tells us to do it. The President may be a
Speaker 2: very loud voice, and he may have the ability to
Speaker 2: sway markets one way or the other, but the market
Speaker 2: is the biggest voice, and the market, the actual supply
Speaker 2: and demand, is what forces their hand when it comes
Speaker 2: to drilling or curbing production, et cetera.
Speaker 1: The reason he's saying I'm watching you is because oftentimes
Speaker 1: oil companies see any sort of strife in the Middle
Speaker 1: East and they think, oh, we'll earn some extra money here,
Speaker 1: we'll raise prices and that. In this way, we can say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's because of what's going on in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: which yet it has yet to have an impact on
Speaker 1: the oale companies, certainly not here at the same time
Speaker 1: things are going on in the Middle East. Takes some
Speaker 1: time for them to reach the oil companies and us
Speaker 1: at the pump, but they totally exploit anything that's going
Speaker 1: on in the Middle East for their own financial gain.
Speaker 4: So that's why saying I'm watching you.
Speaker 1: I know it's not hurting you yet or hurting you
Speaker 1: period maybe, but so if you raise rates, I'm going
Speaker 1: to see who's doing that, and I'm going to punish
Speaker 1: you through whatever means I can do.
Speaker 2: So here in Washington and Opak right now has increased
Speaker 2: output they did several weeks ago. So as of right now,
Speaker 2: there's more crude oil in the market than we actually need.
Speaker 2: That's why we're seeing these prices go down four dollars
Speaker 2: a barrel again. As of right now oil below sixty
Speaker 2: five dollars of barrel on the open market.
Speaker 7: Love.
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, Republicans do things for
Speaker 1: oil companies. Democratic presidents not so much. Company is probably
Speaker 1: more apt to raise the rates a little bit with
Speaker 1: a Democrat sitting in the office, because there's no way
Speaker 1: they can explain any sort of break to the whale
Speaker 1: companies to their constituency.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we're going to talk more about
Speaker 2: what the future is going to hold, whether it's the
Speaker 2: short term future of the next few days and weeks
Speaker 2: or a couple of years down the road. Benjamin rad
Speaker 2: a lecturer in law at UCLA School of Law, is
Speaker 2: an expert when it comes to foreign policies, specifically that
Speaker 2: part of the world.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We are continuing our coverage of what is going on
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, our involvement in it as well.
Speaker 1: Benjamin Rad is a lecture at UCLA Law School. He
Speaker 1: is an authority on government politics in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: in particular Iran as well as US foreign policy. And
Speaker 1: Benjamin Rad it seems like for those who have tracked
Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear ambition this moment what's going on was not
Speaker 1: a surprise. It was inevitable, certainly after October seventh.
Speaker 8: Indeed, we've known now for very long time about Iran's
Speaker 8: nuclear goals and it's been no secret. It's been documented
Speaker 8: and reported on by the International Atomic Energy Agency, And again,
Speaker 8: as you mentioned, after October seventh, for many, especially Israelis,
Speaker 8: it was felt that there was a risk that simply
Speaker 8: couldn't be tolerated anymore, that its attacks of that nature
Speaker 8: were capable, and Iran is a supporter of proxy groups
Speaker 8: like Commas, that it was incumbent upon Israelis and others
Speaker 8: and allies to prevent Iran from possibly acquiring this level
Speaker 8: of knowledge and weaponry and maybe handing it off to others.
Speaker 2: Take us over the course in your mind of the
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours, we were talking about Irani retaliation
Speaker 2: firing missiles at an air base in Qatar, and then
Speaker 2: several hours later President Trump announced saying on truth Social
Speaker 2: that there had been a ceasefire agreed to. Obviously that's
Speaker 2: been tested already, but to me, this is one of
Speaker 2: the more impactful twenty four hour periods that we've seen,
Speaker 2: probably in decades.
Speaker 8: What we observed following the US strikes on the Iranian
Speaker 8: nuclear facilities over the weekend at fourtoh At Matans and
Speaker 8: at Esfahan was the intrance of the United States into
Speaker 8: the conflict, demonstrated that Iran was now fighting a multi
Speaker 8: front war. It was barely capable of fighting a single
Speaker 8: front war against Israel, and it became very clear that
Speaker 8: it was not a war it was going to win.
Speaker 8: So the calculus really then becomes is is it worth
Speaker 8: continuing to fight at the risk of the regime toppling?
Speaker 8: And for the supreme leader, I's lahaminade I mean, he's
Speaker 8: been in power since nineteen eighty nine and he's done
Speaker 8: so not necessarily because he's a debt and then you know, politically,
Speaker 8: but he's shrewd in the sense of survive, and for him,
Speaker 8: maintaining the system, maintaining the deocratic system of government they have,
Speaker 8: was the paramount concern. And so when the risk to
Speaker 8: the system became evident and clear, that is when he,
Speaker 8: I believe, decided that it was no longer worth continuing
Speaker 8: the struggle, even if it meant an embarrassing loss. And
Speaker 8: that's really there's no other way to put it. That's
Speaker 8: what it was. This is a country that for years
Speaker 8: boasted of its ability to protect its nuclear program, protected
Speaker 8: its people, protect its proxy groups, and it's been able
Speaker 8: to do none of those. As the events of the
Speaker 8: last two weeks of demonstrated.
Speaker 1: This theocracy seems to be precarious at best. I know
Speaker 1: enough to know I know nothing about Iran and what
Speaker 1: is going on, but I know that from what I've read,
Speaker 1: it seems like the first time since the nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: nine revolution that the United States could have a seat
Speaker 1: at the table in determining what happens with the future,
Speaker 1: specifically with security in Iran.
Speaker 4: Is that accurate.
Speaker 8: Well, We're still a ways off from that and at
Speaker 8: this point, you know, it's all this talk of regime
Speaker 8: change and the change in the system. Regime change is
Speaker 8: easy to impose from without, but it can only be
Speaker 8: endured from within it, meaning it requires a home grown,
Speaker 8: home led coordination and efforts and a buy in from
Speaker 8: the public. And that's what's missing at this moment, not
Speaker 8: because the desire for that isn't there, but because there
Speaker 8: is no central leadership. There's no figurehead, there's no one
Speaker 8: distinct movement to lead the people and their dissatisfaction towards
Speaker 8: a new system. So until that happens, there's really nobody
Speaker 8: for the Runnians to engage excuse me, the Americans to
Speaker 8: engage with directly there. And we still have to see
Speaker 8: now what cracks appear in the system from within. That's
Speaker 8: what we have to look up for.
Speaker 4: I was sorry to interrupt.
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask about the last us Backshaw,
Speaker 1: his son, I guess, who's been living in exile for
Speaker 1: four decades, kind of had a message to the people
Speaker 1: of Iran.
Speaker 4: Does he have.
Speaker 1: Any political standing there or does he have anybody who
Speaker 1: who what is his if any is his standing there?
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a great that's a great question. There are
Speaker 8: a lot of Iranians living in the diaspora who have
Speaker 8: tremendous affection for Razapahalavi, the Lake Sha son, and also
Speaker 8: really for the monarchy that existed before. It was seen
Speaker 8: as sort of the healthy on days of Iranian civilization
Speaker 8: in the modern era, and so the desire to get
Speaker 8: back to something like that is amass But that doesn't
Speaker 8: mean that the people. These people are clamoring for a monarchy.
Speaker 8: More so, they're clamoring for the prestige in the life
Speaker 8: that they enjoyed and that the country enjoyed before the
Speaker 8: Islamic Revolution. Rezapala does have his admirers and followers, but
Speaker 8: within Iran it's complicated to know exactly what that is.
Speaker 8: He hasn't been in that country in almost forty six years.
Speaker 8: He spent almost all of his life, you know, in
Speaker 8: the United States, and prior to that, even when he
Speaker 8: was there he was nineteen when the revolution happened, he
Speaker 8: spent a lot of time educated in France. So he
Speaker 8: doesn't have the direct connection to the people. He is
Speaker 8: disconnected from the politics and the day to day livest
Speaker 8: The ordinary Iranians who've been living under this repressive regime
Speaker 8: have endured. So the concern is that he doesn't have
Speaker 8: that credibility that he would need with the rank and file,
Speaker 8: if you will, with the working class, with the social movements,
Speaker 8: with the labor movements, with ordinary Iranians who are needed
Speaker 8: to bring about something like this. Now, that doesn't discount
Speaker 8: his potential. There's no one else on the scene right
Speaker 8: now that has his name, recognition or the bona fides
Speaker 8: in that sense. But that doesn't mean he's the best option.
Speaker 8: He's just right now the one that is in front
Speaker 8: of us.
Speaker 2: How do we get information about the actual on the
Speaker 2: ground conditions in Iran? Are we relying on Iranians communicating
Speaker 2: with their families outside of the country. The government of
Speaker 2: Iran has every reason to kind of make up stuff
Speaker 2: about the conditions. How do you get information about what's
Speaker 2: actually going on there?
Speaker 8: That's a fantastic question as well, And we do rely
Speaker 8: very much on social media, on Iranian social media, Iranians
Speaker 8: using American social media communicating with the outside world. They
Speaker 8: know the Internet's been shut down there recently. The government
Speaker 8: censors in general, so getting a direct feedback and sentiments
Speaker 8: is very difficult, even under the best of circumstances, and
Speaker 8: it's not like we can send Western journalists in there
Speaker 8: to gauge public sentiment and assess the mood of the public.
Speaker 8: So we do rely on the link between Iranians living
Speaker 8: there and their families and friends in the diaspora to
Speaker 8: provide us with inside and that's that's what I like
Speaker 8: to rely on as well.
Speaker 1: And then a final question, Benjamin, if you can, Iran
Speaker 1: seems to be in a very weak position in terms
Speaker 1: of defending itself or certainly going on any sort of offensive.
Speaker 4: Do you believe the ceasefire will hold.
Speaker 8: Iran has no choice but to hope the ceasefire holds
Speaker 8: if it did not, if it were not to hold,
Speaker 8: if it were to continue as we've seen in the
Speaker 8: last few days, it simply doesn't have the missile stockpiles
Speaker 8: to continue the conflict. It's not like it can be
Speaker 8: re armed easily. Unlike Israel, which could be supplied with
Speaker 8: the United States and let's say other allies. Uran doesn't
Speaker 8: enjoy that privilege, and so it needs it to hold
Speaker 8: because also we've seen now the top ranks of its
Speaker 8: military leadership decimated. We've seen it's nuclear program compromise completely
Speaker 8: and its air defenses vanquished altogether. So it's like I said,
Speaker 8: regime survival was predicated on the fight income to an end.
Speaker 8: So they will do their best to make sure that
Speaker 8: it stays quiet. And if they need to do the
Speaker 8: occasional symbolic performative retaliation like we saw with their strike
Speaker 8: on the American base in a Patar, that's what we'll see.
Speaker 8: But it should not go beyond that because they said,
Speaker 8: we can't endure any more than that.
Speaker 2: Benjamin, Absolutely fascinating stuff. Thank you for your time. Thank
Speaker 2: you you, bet Benjamin rad Again, Senior Fellow at the
Speaker 2: UCLA Berkele Center specializing in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next two has nuclear weapons. Let's
Speaker 1: do a quick little drawdown of where.
Speaker 4: Are the world's nukes all over the place?
Speaker 8: All?
Speaker 1: Do you have one? You have one, don't you? Is
Speaker 1: it underground? Is it under the pool? It's under the pool?
Speaker 1: Is that why you're redoing the pool? Are you redoing
Speaker 1: the pool?
Speaker 4: Is that a lie? Are you just trying to get
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Yesterday the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump
Speaker 2: administration to deport people to countries where they have no
Speaker 2: previous ties. They call this the third country deportation. They
Speaker 2: lifted an order from a federal judge up in Boston
Speaker 2: who placed restrictions on the deportations. The judge had issued
Speaker 2: a nationwide injunction that required the administration give immigrants what
Speaker 2: he referred to as meaningful advanced notice and a chance
Speaker 2: to raise objections. The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's
Speaker 2: emergency request to put the injunction on hold.
Speaker 3: It's also primary day.
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, voters hitting the polls
Speaker 1: for primary day. I was just googling really quickly because
Speaker 1: I heard there was a communist making some noise, no
Speaker 1: idea the guys.
Speaker 2: He is a member, I think specifically, is the Democratic
Speaker 2: Socialist of America Party.
Speaker 4: This is Zoran Mam Donnie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So nine Democrats are in the NYC mayoral race.
Speaker 1: It's a tight contest between former Governor Andrew Cuomo and
Speaker 1: this communist Zoran Man. Danny, Now, what do you know
Speaker 1: about Donnie?
Speaker 8: Mom?
Speaker 4: Donnie?
Speaker 2: So, I was listening to a couple different podcasts about
Speaker 2: this guy because he's a little fascinating very in terms
Speaker 2: of the field of Democrats, very little experience. I think
Speaker 2: he's a member of the State House I believe, they
Speaker 2: call it the House of Representatives in New York State
Speaker 2: and he's only been there for one term, I believe,
Speaker 2: and basically came to power on the heels of this
Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist of America party think AOC Bernie Sanders, people
Speaker 2: like that, and somehow has generated.
Speaker 9: This this ground ground swell of support and money. Which
Speaker 9: is important that that a couple of weeks ago Cuomo
Speaker 9: had more than a twenty five point lead on this
Speaker 9: guy on the field and now they're basically neck and
Speaker 9: neck going.
Speaker 4: Into the primary weeks ago, weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That is fascinating that they could move that quickly to
Speaker 1: get that get that kind of money and support.
Speaker 4: And imagine if.

Speaker 1: Am I getting my Cuomo's mixed up or my New
Speaker 1: York politicians.
