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: Latest on the protest.
Speaker 3: We do expect yet another update from Karen Bass at
Speaker 3: some point this morning.
Speaker 2: I believe eleven o'clock is the is.
Speaker 3: The information I saw if I don't know what she
Speaker 3: has to say much today, because last night was relatively
Speaker 3: quiet in terms of rioting. The curfew went into effect
Speaker 3: at eight o'clock. There were several arrests last night, but
Speaker 3: nowhere near the amount of damage, violence, graffiti, looting that
Speaker 3: we had seen in a couple of previous nights.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks joins us he's been on top of the
Speaker 1: protesters protests, I should say, ever since they erupted over
Speaker 1: the weekend. And now we've got an Alla City council
Speaker 1: ad that has been put on unpaid leave following an
Speaker 1: arrest at one of these protests. And the story goes
Speaker 1: a little deeper than that. Michael, am I now sorry,
Speaker 1: I apologize, no worries. Yeah, this isn't a radio, It's fine.
Speaker 4: Well, this is Isabel Herado City council woman, newly elected
Speaker 4: at the end of last year, so she's serving very
Speaker 4: early in her first term. She unseated longtime politician Kevin
Speaker 4: daleon and you may recall during that campaign that towards
Speaker 4: the end she got caught up in sort of a
Speaker 4: mini controversy because she was recorded in front of a
Speaker 4: group of college students at calcet Ola saying f the police.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So that's just to set the scene for who we're
Speaker 4: talking about here. And so a staffer for Isabelle Herado
Speaker 4: Lose Aguilar, she has been placed on unpaid leave because
Speaker 4: she's been arrested suspicion of assaulting a police officer with
Speaker 4: a deadly weapon. Where when, Oh, on Sunday at the
Speaker 4: anti ice protest demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles. But that's
Speaker 4: not Lose Aguilar's only connection to local politics. Her dad
Speaker 4: is Rick Cole, who is a sitting member of the
Speaker 4: Pasadena City Council and is all also a high ranking
Speaker 4: figure in the office of La City Controller.
Speaker 2: Kenneth Maheah. Okay, Can she simply be fired? Why? Why? Why?
Speaker 3: Why administrative leave and not simply fire her attraction council
Speaker 3: woman Isabelle Herado herself. Okay, because this is uh it's
Speaker 3: going to make me mad.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm aware of what's happened to my staff member.
Speaker 5: They're on unpaid leave right now. I hold my staff
Speaker 5: to the highest standards.
Speaker 3: Just to point out, this is from last night's news
Speaker 3: conference with the.
Speaker 1: Or just real quick, what's happened to my staff member?
Speaker 1: Like this was something that happened to the staff.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good point.
Speaker 5: That is, Yes, I'm aware of what's happened to my
Speaker 5: staff member. They're on unpaid leave right now. I hold
Speaker 5: my staff to the highest standards. Well, I will. I
Speaker 5: wait to see due process and so we'll see the
Speaker 5: outcome of that. But I see that as separate and
Speaker 5: apart from a reaction to what our constituents want in
Speaker 5: this city and how this type of opportunism has escalated
Speaker 5: between yesterday and the day before. And you know, frankly,
Speaker 5: I admit my humility here in my beginnerness and that
Speaker 5: I'm new to downtown. But our downtown stakeholders have seen
Speaker 5: this multiple times over and had to basically develop their
Speaker 5: own strategies, and they saw the warning signs of how
Speaker 5: this could get worse.
Speaker 4: So she was alongside Mayor Bass during the press conference
Speaker 4: because all of this stuff has been happening in downtown
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. She happens to represent downtown. You heard her
Speaker 4: reference I'm new to downtown. That's because downtown is But
Speaker 4: we keep hearing the word sliver. This is a sliver
Speaker 4: of her district, which is mostly Northeast LA suburbs like
Speaker 4: Boyle Heights and then Downtown is kind of thrown in
Speaker 4: with all those and is usually a famous afterthought of
Speaker 4: whoever's representing that district.
Speaker 6: Okay, do you feel that I thought a little earthquake
Speaker 6: was a truck?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 1: Also, side note you mentioned or you heard in the
Speaker 1: council woman's line there they This does appear to be
Speaker 1: a they them person council member who was arrested with
Speaker 1: her twins, their twin.
Speaker 2: Sister, so it's two sisters.
Speaker 4: Lose Aguilar is the one who works in the office,
Speaker 4: but also her sister, twenty six year old obviously Antonia
Speaker 4: Aguilar Them. Okay, my apologies if I've missed jets. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's it's your beginnerness. It's showing it's my beginnerness. So
Speaker 4: I'm asking for some races. Yeah, she's a new council member,
Speaker 4: and she is a little. Her public speaking is a
Speaker 4: little clunky. She's and that's all I can say about that.
Speaker 4: But you know, obviously this is somebody who set a
Speaker 4: tone on the campaign trail about her feelings about policing.
Speaker 4: She is from the same school of local politics as
Speaker 4: Unisses Hernandez, Hugo Soto Martinez, who also serve on the
Speaker 4: city Council and have strong sentiments about LAPD funding, LAPD behavior.
Speaker 4: In fact, before for the mayor's press conference yesterday, the
Speaker 4: chief of police was hauled into the city council chamber.
Speaker 2: Answer question.
Speaker 3: We'll do that next segment, because that was also you'd
Speaker 3: want to talk about putting a guy like Jim McDonell
Speaker 3: in the absolute worst possible position and making an answer
Speaker 3: questions that are almost impossible for the chief of local
Speaker 3: police department to answer.
Speaker 2: We'll do that well.
Speaker 6: After they've totally fed him when it comes to the.
Speaker 3: Budget, right right, Gary Channon will continue. Michael Monks has
Speaker 3: joined us.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Judge not granting Governor Newsom's request for an immediate block
Speaker 3: of the deployment of troops to California but what is
Speaker 3: the schedule, the timeline, what's the next steps for that
Speaker 3: lawsuit against the president by the governor.
Speaker 1: Marines are joining the National Guard soldiers today. It's the
Speaker 1: first day the Marines will be on the streets. Approximately
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred members of the National guards seventy ninth Infantry
Speaker 1: Brigade Combat Team are in LA Team as part of
Speaker 1: the National Guard's twenty one hundred member Task Force fifty
Speaker 1: one on titled ten status in California. So they will,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, be there to assist in guarding federal properties.
Speaker 6: You know, it's a very.
Speaker 1: It's a very different conversation when it comes to Marines
Speaker 1: in the National Guard just there to guard federal properties
Speaker 1: as opposed to manning the streets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's important that an.
Speaker 1: Important distinction that could change at a moment's notice, couldn't.
Speaker 3: It if the President decides to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Speaker 3: And as we talked with Jessica Levinson yesterday from Loyola,
Speaker 3: she was explaining, the courts have given a lot of
Speaker 3: leeway to presidents to make decisions like that, So we
Speaker 3: don't know which way his wind is blowing right now,
Speaker 3: if in fact he wants to do that. Michael Monks
Speaker 3: has joined us, who's been covering a lot of different
Speaker 3: aspects of the stories this story over the last several days,
Speaker 3: and one of the new aspects of it is that
Speaker 3: the City Council in Los Angeles is now upset with
Speaker 3: the LAPD chief for.
Speaker 2: What well, you know this LAPD.
Speaker 4: They can't get a break right now because there's criticism
Speaker 4: coming from all angles. You're not doing enough, you're doing
Speaker 4: too much. All at the same time, I think the
Speaker 4: majority sentiment among the city councils that perhaps LAPD was
Speaker 4: doing too much, and there were also some accusations made
Speaker 4: about whether they're colluding with some of the federal agencies
Speaker 4: that have come in this. They hauled in Chief Jim
Speaker 4: McDonald to the City council meeting yesterday. This was a
Speaker 4: late agenda item that they always meet on Tuesdays, but
Speaker 4: this is obviously the first Tuesday to come along since
Speaker 4: everything broke loose on Friday. In fact, we got word
Speaker 4: of the raid during the city council meeting last Friday,
Speaker 4: the one taking place in the Garment district. So this
Speaker 4: is their first meeting since all of it, So they're
Speaker 4: chomping at the bit to ask some questions and they did,
Speaker 4: and council members like the one we referenced Isabelle Herado Unice,
Speaker 4: He's hernad As Hugosda Martinez.
Speaker 2: They have a lot of.
Speaker 4: Concerns about the behavior of LAPD officers against the protesters.
Speaker 4: That seem to be where their concerns are. I've got
Speaker 4: some sound from Hugo Soda Martinez and his line of questioning.
Speaker 8: We have to be mindful of the tactics that are
Speaker 8: being used by some LAPD members that is adding to
Speaker 8: the escalation because that is taking away from the goal
Speaker 8: of keeping families together. Now, just like a few protesters
Speaker 8: can take away from the messaging, the same thing can
Speaker 8: be said by LAPD. It overshadows the response. So I
Speaker 8: just want people to remember that in this moment, everybody
Speaker 8: as a city has to live by our values and
Speaker 8: keep our eyes on the prize. We are fighting a
Speaker 8: white nationalist president that will like nothing better than to
Speaker 8: come into our city and deport our people.
Speaker 2: And wipen it up a little bit.
Speaker 3: Is that what he's going to suggest next is that
Speaker 3: what he thinks that this really is is that he's
Speaker 3: that the president is trying to whiten Southern California that.
Speaker 4: That statement is not far off from typical characterizations of
Speaker 4: the Trump administration from these folks. This is kind of
Speaker 4: what they said leading up to the adoption of a
Speaker 4: sanctuary city policy and in the weeks since with all
Speaker 4: of the chaos that has ensued. The chief of police
Speaker 4: was also grilled by city councilhen Emelda Padilla, who asked
Speaker 4: whether the LAPD could maybe alert city officials if federal
Speaker 4: law enforcement agencies were coming into town to do something,
Speaker 4: and the chief got kind of snippy with her and
Speaker 4: he said, you know, you're asking me to warn you
Speaker 4: about an enforcement action being taken by another agency before
Speaker 4: it happens.
Speaker 2: We can't do that. No, it's illegal, an obstruction of justice.
Speaker 4: But also Council President Marquise Harris Dawson is doesn't like
Speaker 4: referring to ICE as an other federal agencies as enforcement partner.
Speaker 1: McDonald the restraint that he must have to sit before
Speaker 1: these boobs who have been around for five minutes and
Speaker 1: think they know what his job is better than what
Speaker 1: he then he knows after being in Los Angeles for
Speaker 1: as long as he has, the patience and the restraint
Speaker 1: is freaking incredible.
Speaker 3: There's a point that has to be made as well
Speaker 3: about the city council, and even the mayor has kind
Speaker 3: of alluded to this that they don't know when these
Speaker 3: raids are coming.
Speaker 2: The bottom line is, we don't know, and that is
Speaker 2: consistent with ice raids. Of course, we never know when,
Speaker 2: we never know how long.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's consistent with all law enforcement who happen to
Speaker 3: have a very specific tactic of catching people off guard when.
Speaker 6: They're engaged in criminal behavior.
Speaker 3: They don't call people and say, hey, Josh, just so
Speaker 3: you know, you're wanted on a murder warrant out of Pacoima,
Speaker 3: can we come like just hang out at like four
Speaker 3: forty five maybe five o'clock if you're not busy. We'd
Speaker 3: love to be able to come in and put handcuffs
Speaker 3: on you.
Speaker 2: That's not the way law enforcement.
Speaker 6: Has ever worked, So why why is.
Speaker 3: There a surprise They just don't know? The federal government
Speaker 3: would would send up a telegram to someone and suggest.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're going to be at this place at this.
Speaker 3: Time so that you can send five hundred people to
Speaker 3: get in our way. Hey, we'll keep in mind put
Speaker 3: themselves at risk too, And that's that's valid and keep
Speaker 3: in mind though, that the chief is also getting it
Speaker 3: from the federal government, like the Department of Homeland Security
Speaker 3: is not happy with the Los Angeles Police Department either,
Speaker 3: for not showing up at a time that they thought
Speaker 3: was adequate to support the federal agencies who were on
Speaker 3: the ground executing these warrants. That was Friday, right, that
Speaker 3: that was that was related to Friday.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 6: But look, well there's also the ari.
Speaker 4: I mean, you can why it's the National Guard here?
Speaker 4: Why are the Marines here? I mean, that's a direct
Speaker 4: and that's a direct comment.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a couple of things. And you know, there
Speaker 1: was the comment about overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: He said, he did.
Speaker 1: Say that, and I think what his purpose of saying
Speaker 1: that was was you can't cut from the LAPD which
Speaker 1: is actively happening at city Hall if you want us
Speaker 1: to respond to things this large is what the basis
Speaker 1: of that comment was. But it can be construed as
Speaker 1: calling for help from the federal government now that the
Speaker 1: federal government has stepped in.
Speaker 3: And that I think is one of the shortcomings that
Speaker 3: we've seen in the last couple of days is no
Speaker 3: one has asked the chief.
Speaker 2: I don't know how available he has been.
Speaker 3: We're not the reporters that are there in those news conferences,
Speaker 3: but somebody needs to ask him to revisit that comment
Speaker 3: because there are a lot of people are using that for
Speaker 3: him explaining, like you said, I mean, he could be
Speaker 3: taken a couple of different ways. What did he mean
Speaker 3: by that? Was it just the context of Friday night
Speaker 3: we were overwhelmed, or Saturday night we were overwhelmed, we
Speaker 3: didn't have enough flex cuffs for people, or is it
Speaker 3: legitimately we do not have enough men and women to
Speaker 3: put on the streets to keep this thing under control.
Speaker 1: It's a reflex when you're the head of an agency
Speaker 1: like this to say we need more all the time.
Speaker 1: It's one of their jobs, whether you're the fire chief,
Speaker 1: police chief, what have you, to make sure funding is
Speaker 1: not cut, make sure in fact that it is added
Speaker 1: to under your watch. That's one of the hallmarks of
Speaker 1: a strong chief is to make sure your funding is
Speaker 1: not cut and in fact, if you can bolster it
Speaker 1: even better. His funding has been cut, the LAPD's funding
Speaker 1: has been cut, so his number one goal is to
Speaker 1: stop that from happening. And when you're requiring the LAPED
Speaker 1: to show out and force like that on Friday night
Speaker 1: and they are reduced.
Speaker 6: They're at a reduced workforce.
Speaker 1: You're going to say things like that, and when this
Speaker 1: thing exploded, he didn't see it. This exploding Friday night
Speaker 1: into Saturday to a national story. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, that underwhelmed comment gets parlayed into oh, this
Speaker 1: is why Trump was able to send in all of
Speaker 1: his henchmen or whatever the form of the National Guard
Speaker 1: in the Marines. And so, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think that. I don't know why he hasn't been
Speaker 1: pressed on that. I guess it doesn't mean as much
Speaker 1: as it means.
Speaker 4: To he doesn't want to get Kristian crowleyed, I don't know,
Speaker 4: you know, speaking against the mayor like the fire chief did, and.
Speaker 2: Oh I already forgotten. Nay, quickly, we move on really quickly.
Speaker 4: I know you guys have to take a break, but
Speaker 4: I just want to say it's clear the LAPD's tactics
Speaker 4: have amplified and they've gotten the message that we need
Speaker 4: to do more. I'm anxious to see how today goes,
Speaker 4: if anything breaks out in the afternoon before the curfew,
Speaker 4: to see if that continues and two. The LAPD did
Speaker 4: lose out in this budget. They saw their recruitment opportunities
Speaker 4: caught in half. But for the past several years they
Speaker 4: were fully funded to bring more officers in and they
Speaker 4: have confessed themselves that they have been unable to fill
Speaker 4: their ranks for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 2: Curfews starts today. Yes, all right, thank you, Michael, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Stay out of downtown. Thanks.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Ambition is odd. I really love ambition. I admire it
Speaker 1: when someone has ambition, but sometimes it can go too far.
Speaker 1: But it's always fun to talk about, isn't it. Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom is the subject of an article in The Wall
Speaker 1: Street Journal about him leaning into this LA unrest to
Speaker 1: position himself as the head of the monster that is
Speaker 1: the opposition to Trump and what the administration represents, and
Speaker 1: he has seen I mean, it's an important moment, I
Speaker 1: said earlier.
Speaker 6: I think this is make or break for Newsom.
Speaker 1: If he wants to insinuate himself as the leader of
Speaker 1: the resistance, then he's gonna have to show the math.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to really be hard hitting and establish
Speaker 1: himself not as a pretty boy left California I like
Speaker 1: wine tasting and a six hundred dollars meal guy, but
Speaker 1: somebody who's palatable to the Democrats and the rest of
Speaker 1: the country. If you're going to go after Trump, you've
Speaker 1: got to go to Trump's arena and beat him there.
Speaker 6: And I just don't know if Newsom has it in him.
Speaker 3: There's an interesting you mentioned, what was your article from
Speaker 3: Wall Street. There's another one in Politico as well today
Speaker 3: that uses the same the same kind of backbone that
Speaker 3: the idea that Gavin Newsom has re appeared on the
Speaker 3: national stage in terms of being the main face of
Speaker 3: opposition against Donald Trump. But they actually credit Trump with
Speaker 3: catapulting Newsom to that.
Speaker 1: So that was going to be my next thought, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they got to it, because my thought
Speaker 1: reading the Wall Street Journal article is this is only
Speaker 1: because Trump has enabled Newsom to rise to this level,
Speaker 1: And you've got to ask yourself why, And if Trump
Speaker 1: wants his legacy to endure past his administration and he's
Speaker 1: crowning Newsom as the king of resistance, Trump's got to
Speaker 1: believe that Newsom is just that an empty pillowcase well, no,
Speaker 1: they're there because, hey, if you want this guy to
Speaker 1: take on me and my buddy's over here, whether it
Speaker 1: be jd Vance or what whoever's waiting in the wings,
Speaker 1: the Trump family would have you go for it, right
Speaker 1: because we know we can demolish him. I mean, you
Speaker 1: do have to ask yourself that question. It is Newsome
Speaker 1: becoming a topic nationally because Trump's enabling him because he
Speaker 1: knows he can beat him.
Speaker 3: And what is the actual character of Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 2: What? And I don't mean that question.
Speaker 3: I don't mean you know, who is he as a person,
Speaker 3: although we've asked that question many times. I mean as
Speaker 3: a political character outside of California? Do people see him
Speaker 3: as the legitimate standard bearer for the Democratic Party fighting
Speaker 3: for immigrants in this country? Does he see him as
Speaker 3: a strict politician who is leveraging his position, his money,
Speaker 3: his uh face, his notoriety in his face, his hair
Speaker 3: into position where that will help, you know, make help
Speaker 3: the leap to the next step.
Speaker 1: Does he have the balls that matter in places like
Speaker 1: Ohio or Pennsylvania. Does he have the friendships in the
Speaker 1: power circles to get things done? Does he have the
Speaker 1: money outside of California. Three big questions and right now
Speaker 1: you're not getting a lot of yeses.
Speaker 2: Right yeah.
Speaker 6: And maybe after this he meets this.
Speaker 1: Moment, maybe more people will jump on the slow speed
Speaker 1: Gavin train with stops in places like Madera. But until then,
Speaker 1: until those questions are answered, you're just gonna have this
Speaker 1: like weak stream guide leading your resistance.
Speaker 3: Remember a year ago, there were discussions about whether Gavin
Speaker 3: Newsom was going to jump into the to the Democratic
Speaker 3: primaries right year ago, year and a half ago before
Speaker 3: they started, and he repeatedly said, listen, I don't I'm
Speaker 3: not planning on it, or whatever whatever the term he
Speaker 3: was using at the time, but he was begging in
Speaker 3: the back rooms, please push me into the limelight, force
Speaker 3: my hand, and I can be the reluctant hero that
Speaker 3: comes in and saves the Democratic Party from a faltering
Speaker 3: candidate in what was Joe Biden at the time. It
Speaker 3: almost feels like he got lucky again with this, that
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is going after Gavin Newsom in this instance
Speaker 3: and he is relishing the accidental hero. Listen, I don't
Speaker 3: want to have to be in this position. But if
Speaker 3: I'm going to stand up for the four year old.
Speaker 3: What if I'm going to stand up for the families
Speaker 3: that are being torn apart, then I will. I will
Speaker 3: wear that mantle proudly, although I didn't ask for it. Please,
Speaker 3: this is this is his this is his conference championship.
Speaker 1: In every industry, or he gets to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: in every occupation, sports or otherwise. There's a time when
Speaker 1: people are exposed. Yeah, and Kamala Harris. Unfortunately we all
Speaker 1: saw that in real time. Trump has brought this fight
Speaker 1: to Gavin Newsom. Gavin's been blustering about it four months,
Speaker 1: if not years. All Right, well, now it's game time.
Speaker 1: What the hell are you going to do? How are
Speaker 1: you going to fight?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 3: Is he the most powerful governor in the country, democratic governor?
Speaker 2: Is he the most powerful?
Speaker 3: And I obviously it's because we have a huge economy,
Speaker 3: we have a huge state, we have huge population. You
Speaker 3: can make the argument he is the most powerful democratic
Speaker 3: governor in the country. This is the war that both
Speaker 3: of them want. Donald Trump wants to be able to
Speaker 3: show I can take on the biggest guy on your team,
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom, and impose my will on the bluest state,
Speaker 3: one of the bluest states in the nation, and Gavin
Speaker 3: Newsom wont to be able to say, I David struck
Speaker 3: down your goliath.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's it's go time for Gavin Newsom. It's
Speaker 1: time to show that you're what you're made of.
Speaker 2: Sure, but it's perfect for him.
Speaker 1: Yes, But it's also decision time for the Democratic powers
Speaker 1: that be. Are we going to rally against this guy?
Speaker 1: Is this going to be our guy heading into the
Speaker 1: next big election? Are we going to throw our weight
Speaker 1: behind him? Or do we keep our hands off this battlefield?
Speaker 1: And the Democrats really have to have this, like this
Speaker 1: conscience battle of where are you're going to go from here?
Speaker 1: You have not been able to rally around one person.
Speaker 1: Will they rally around Gavin Newsom? I mean, it's been
Speaker 1: the conversation, but I don't I mean, it's been the
Speaker 1: conversation in California, I guess.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the conversation is nationwide. I don't
Speaker 1: read the other local papers.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and that is that I think is probably
Speaker 3: the next big thing to figure out is if you're
Speaker 3: in Buffalo, New York, if you're in Charlotte, North Carolina,
Speaker 3: or Denver, what is your opinion of this guy? Do
Speaker 3: you see him as a champion for the Party of Democrats, or.
Speaker 1: All you're thinking about is Josh Allen going to come
Speaker 1: through in the playoffs? We get a quarterback for Carolina.
Speaker 1: Where was the other place?
Speaker 2: Denver?
Speaker 6: Denver? I mean, there's a lot of.
Speaker 3: Questions pick three football, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Starting to I'm starting to feel the fields I went to.
Speaker 6: I went to the grocery store and I saw somebody
Speaker 6: at an.
Speaker 1: Eagles hat and I was like, Oh, keep it, keep
Speaker 1: it to yourself. Close to engaging with a complete stranger,
Speaker 1: like for what it's an Eagles fan, Like what you're
Speaker 1: like this?
Speaker 3: You're like people once they learn a language, they'll start
Speaker 3: dreaming in that from if You're starting to dream in football?
Speaker 6: Part about me? I really do.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: One of the stories that's a sidelight to all of
Speaker 3: the protests and riots and looting and everything that's been
Speaker 3: going on is that Gavin Newsom requested a temporary restraining
Speaker 3: order to block the administration's deployment of National Guard troops
Speaker 3: and marines here in southern California. The judge yesterday in
Speaker 3: this case, District Judge Charles Bryer did set a hearing
Speaker 3: for tomorrow, but did not grant that request for the
Speaker 3: temporary restraining order, tomorrow being Thursday. The governor has said
Speaker 3: this request for the temporary restraining order says that the
Speaker 3: Trump administration's use of troops creates imminent harm to state sovereignty,
Speaker 3: deprives the state of vital resources, escalates tensions, promotes rather
Speaker 3: than quell civil unrest, and seeks to prevent federal troops
Speaker 3: from enforcing laws in a civilian city, which is again
Speaker 3: at this point, not what the National Guard and Marine
Speaker 3: Corps has been tasked with doing. The Governor's office said,
Speaker 3: the mission orders soldiers to engage in unlawful civilian law
Speaker 3: enforcement activities, which it does in communities across the region,
Speaker 3: beyond just guarding federal buildings. So again at this case,
Speaker 3: at this point, no temporary restraining order. The judge did
Speaker 3: set tomorrow the hearing to go through some.
Speaker 2: Of all of this.
Speaker 3: The judge, by the way, Charles Bryer, happens to be
Speaker 3: the younger brother of former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer.
Speaker 2: If you're keeping score at home, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Coming up next, we'll dive into swamp watch tons
Speaker 1: to get to do we have a deal with China
Speaker 1: with the tariffs that would be a huge deal. Guantanamo
Speaker 1: Bay a place for Trump to put people who are
Speaker 1: here illegally. That conversation is picking up steam as well.
Speaker 1: We'll have all the latest for you coming up next.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show, you
Speaker 3: can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
Speaker 3: nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
Speaker 3: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
