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. Well, when you are the mayor
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, you have to kind of do a
Speaker 1: cost benefit analysis when it comes to your schedule. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got this super cool trip planned, but oh, here's
Speaker 1: this forecast on your desk Monday morning that says fire
Speaker 1: danger is off the charts. It is going to be
Speaker 1: next level this week. There are several problem areas in
Speaker 1: your jurisdiction. What do you do? Do you roll the
Speaker 1: dice and go on your trip and hope all will
Speaker 1: be well. Well, that's exactly what Mayor Karen Bass did.
Speaker 1: And now the reviews are in and they are not good,
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, because not only did she not
Speaker 1: stay in a Los Angeles, she went on the trip,
Speaker 1: and then she did not cut the trip short. If
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, she.
Speaker 2: Didn't cut it short enough.
Speaker 1: This was a George w at the class when he
Speaker 1: got news about the towers. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: you got to show a sense of urgency. You got
Speaker 1: to get up and you've got to move your ass.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I don't want to. He didn't want
Speaker 3: to scare the kids.
Speaker 2: That was that. They've said that, Well.
Speaker 1: He didn't have to announce to the kids.
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing, which is why when they did
Speaker 3: a news conference kind of impromptu, he was nowhere near them,
Speaker 3: but he was still at that school. Now, in this case,
Speaker 3: the survey of La County residents by UCLA School of
Speaker 3: Public Affairs showed that her unfavorability ratings, Karen Bass's unfavorability
Speaker 3: ratings shot up by seventeen percentage points compared with a
Speaker 3: year ago. Because remember, it's not just it's not just
Speaker 3: the problem. It's one thing to be out of town
Speaker 3: despite being told that they were severe danger. It's another
Speaker 3: too when you get here not show the appropriate remorse
Speaker 3: for what you did.
Speaker 1: And instead just play cover your ass per week.
Speaker 3: The thing is, we see, we all see that when
Speaker 3: it happens, it's okay. It's human to make a mistake. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's political to try to cover it up. Yes, and
Speaker 3: there's a huge everybody can understand. I would assume everybody
Speaker 3: can understand she made the wrong calculus. Now it's surprising
Speaker 3: considering we said repeatedly not that she listens to us.
Speaker 3: We said repeatedly during that week, this is weird. We've
Speaker 3: never seen alerts like this from the National Weather Service.
Speaker 1: It was Monday and never said day right, it was Monday.
Speaker 1: We got the forecast and we're like, we need to
Speaker 1: stay on top of this is going to be huge.
Speaker 1: And then Tuesday is when s hit the fan, right,
Speaker 1: and we knew that it was good and she knew,
Speaker 1: and you're right, like, what if she came back and
Speaker 1: she's like, I screwed up. I screwed up. I'm ready
Speaker 1: to get to work. Please forgive me. I screwed up.
Speaker 1: I was super excited about this trip. I went thinking
Speaker 1: that things would be under control. They were not. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry how I mean her ratings would have gone through
Speaker 1: the roof if she had done that. I feel like
Speaker 1: politicians don't understand the value of being human and how
Speaker 1: much we love to see that. We don't want to
Speaker 1: see perfection. We want to see ourselves and the people
Speaker 1: that we elect. We want to see imperfections. That's the
Speaker 1: beauty of connection and that's what we all look for.
Speaker 1: And she and Gavin Newsome and I can go down
Speaker 1: the list of people who do not appear to have
Speaker 1: a human bone in their body.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know how you get to that level
Speaker 3: of politician, regardless of what party you are, just that job,
Speaker 3: that world of politics, without having that human connection, without
Speaker 3: having she.
Speaker 1: Had to have it at some point she did. They
Speaker 1: all do well, they don't. They're not born completely soulless.
Speaker 3: Use Anthony Wiener as an example, and this may be
Speaker 3: stretching it. I think we know who he is, right,
Speaker 3: But I mean, had he come out and set you know,
Speaker 3: when when it came out soon after we interviewed him,
Speaker 3: that he'd been sending a d pics to this Sydney
Speaker 3: Leathers or whatever her name was, and with his kid
Speaker 3: in the picture.
Speaker 1: Like I think by this time it was the college
Speaker 1: student that he was selling.
Speaker 2: I think that's who I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: But had he just come out and just said, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1: I like my penis.
Speaker 3: I was drinking, I was shooting my shot three thousand
Speaker 3: miles away. I was just it was a stupid Instead,
Speaker 3: he wanted to talk about, oh, my phone got hacked,
Speaker 3: not me. I didn't do that. It's just it's that frustrating,
Speaker 3: immediate knee jerk reaction of it's not me it was
Speaker 3: somebody else's.
Speaker 1: Do you think that story would have the legs that
Speaker 1: it had had it come out now, Like when you
Speaker 1: think he was one of the first people sent in
Speaker 1: is junk. It was like Brett Favre and then Anthony Wiener,
Speaker 1: And it was a big deal because it was kind
Speaker 1: of new, Right, you didn't hear about people sending penis
Speaker 1: pictures all the time. It wasn't like a Tuesday like
Speaker 1: it is now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it depends on the proximity to people important.
Speaker 3: I mean Anthony Wiener today definitely not it's just some
Speaker 3: dirt bag living in the Bronx like whatever.
Speaker 2: But because he was so.
Speaker 3: Close through Huma Abidin, so close to Hillary Clinton, right,
Speaker 3: It's like that was what made it just Yeah, even
Speaker 3: if by the time we got to the convention in
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, even if by that time he'd kind of
Speaker 3: been persona non grata, like not everybody is really hip
Speaker 3: on this guy. Remember he was walking around that convention
Speaker 3: center in Philadelphia by himself.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to talk to that guy. He was not
Speaker 1: a likable being, which is.
Speaker 3: Why when we interviewed him, he was such an a hole.
Speaker 1: He was awful, just boop, just an a hole awful.
Speaker 1: It was so awful.
Speaker 2: Now listen.
Speaker 3: That's not to say that Karen Bass has to go
Speaker 3: down that path that Anthony Wiener did, but it's an
Speaker 3: example of messing up. Is human doing something wrong. We've
Speaker 3: all done it. It's how you handle it from that
Speaker 3: point on, right, do you try to cover your butt?
Speaker 3: Do you try to blame somebody else for your problems?
Speaker 1: Honest?
Speaker 2: Just be honest and listen.
Speaker 3: The little peepe match that she got into with the
Speaker 3: chief of the fire department was another example of this.
Speaker 3: They could have easily both said, hey, well she was
Speaker 3: We both had we both had shortcomings.
Speaker 2: We need to continue to work together.
Speaker 3: We're going to do it on behalf of the people
Speaker 3: that we let down, right or or I would.
Speaker 1: Man, I would have loved to sit in on those meetings.
Speaker 1: That would have been fun between the mayor and the
Speaker 1: first Yeah, no love loss there. I bet you've been
Speaker 1: frust We are on top of what's going down in
Speaker 1: Tallahassee again. Details are scanned coming in slowly active shooter
Speaker 1: at FSU Florida State University.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: The reports from local people on the scene are that
Speaker 1: four hospitalized people. As we reported. Initially four people have
Speaker 1: been taken to the hospital. There is a shelter in
Speaker 1: place order. As you can imagine, the campus is blocked off.
Speaker 1: There is quite the police presence there at FSU. We
Speaker 1: have heard reports on Twitter from people that have been
Speaker 1: sheltering in place in various buildings on campus. So we
Speaker 1: will stay on top of that. But when we come
Speaker 1: back the latest on the Menendez brother's quest for freedom.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: The Menendez brothers premeditatedly shot and killed their parents back
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine. They were given the Netflix Ryan
Speaker 1: Murphy treatment, which spawned a new popularity for the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 1: A lot of people focused on the narrative that were
Speaker 1: they molested by the father and that's why they they
Speaker 1: shot and killed both the father and the mother, and
Speaker 1: they should be free. In what's going on in George Gascone,
Speaker 1: hanging by a thread at the DA's office, decided to
Speaker 1: use this as a hail Mary pass to keep his seat.
Speaker 1: He was un sixsful, but the legal ball got rolling
Speaker 1: and a judge decided that possibly these two could be resentenced.
Speaker 1: Looks like that was the way things were headed. PS
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom wanted in on the circus and decided to
Speaker 1: ask the State Parole Board, Hey, take a look at
Speaker 1: these two and get together a report about risk assessment. Well,
Speaker 1: that report came back. The Day's office happens to have
Speaker 1: that report. Mark Garrigis wants this resentencing hearing to go on,
Speaker 1: which it is as we speak. But the DA's office says,
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes till the judge sees this report,
Speaker 1: which leads me to believe there's something in this parole
Speaker 1: report that is not good for the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2: We shall see.
Speaker 3: Michael Monks has been out there all morning and has
Speaker 3: been covering all of this. Michael, what's going on? Hey,
Speaker 3: good morning.
Speaker 5: That was the big news this morning that I don't
Speaker 5: think any of us expected to hear. When DA Nathan
Speaker 5: Hoffman came over to talk to the media before he
Speaker 5: went into the courthouse here in Van Nye, he says, look,
Speaker 5: my office has received that risk assessment report from the
Speaker 5: State Parole Board. We didn't ask for it. We haven't
Speaker 5: been working with the Parole Board at all. It showed
Speaker 5: up a couple days ago. That's why we asked the
Speaker 5: courthouse today the judge to say, why don't we take
Speaker 5: a little break, take a review of this, and then
Speaker 5: decide how to proceed. Mark garre Goes, the defense attorney
Speaker 5: does not expect that to happen. He says, he expects
Speaker 5: this resentencing hearing to go forward today. It could be
Speaker 5: all day today. It could go into tomorrow as well,
Speaker 5: and even after tomorrow. If it goes that far, we
Speaker 5: might not know what the judge has to say. You
Speaker 5: can make a ruling on the bench. You can decide
Speaker 5: to take his time and issue a ruling and writing.
Speaker 5: So we're in a waiting mode right now to see
Speaker 5: what type of timeframe we're looking at and what role
Speaker 5: this risk assessment might play in.
Speaker 2: The whole thing.
Speaker 3: Michael, because we're jammed for time, can you hang on.
Speaker 3: We'll come back when you have another segment with you.
Speaker 3: It would be my pleasure. Excellent, Michael monks again, they're
Speaker 3: live in Van Eys later right on the Menendez Michael
Speaker 3: Brother's hearing that's going on. He's motivational in a very
Speaker 3: calming way.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful.
Speaker 2: It's nice to have a friend who's just solid solid.
Speaker 1: I keep not slow rolling, the opposite of slow rolling,
Speaker 1: making Michael Monks be my best friend, pushing a little
Speaker 1: I'm pushing a little bit too hard.
Speaker 2: He did say something about that.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Michael Monks is covering this Menendez hearing for us, and
Speaker 1: where we last left off, we were talking about how
Speaker 1: this hearing is continuing despite the DA's office request yesterday
Speaker 1: to delay it because they got their hands on a
Speaker 1: report from the Parole Board that took a look at
Speaker 1: what the Menandez brothers have been up to and was
Speaker 1: going to assess the risk of these guys being let out.
Speaker 1: This was all at the request of the governor. But
Speaker 1: the hearing continues, Michael exactly, and.
Speaker 5: The judge in this case might take a look at
Speaker 5: that risk assessment report and decide, yeah, we maybe do
Speaker 5: need pump the brakes a little bit and revisit this
Speaker 5: another day. That was what La County District Attorney Nathan
Speaker 5: Hawkman said as he talked to the media before he
Speaker 5: went into the courthouse. He even said, look, we got
Speaker 5: this two days ago. We didn't even ask for it.
Speaker 5: We're not collaborating or colluding with the Parole Board. It
Speaker 5: just was delivered to us. We've taken a look. We
Speaker 5: thought the judge might like to see it. He didn't
Speaker 5: tell us what's in it. He didn't give us any
Speaker 5: hint of what it says. So whether it reflects well
Speaker 5: on the Menindez brothers or reflects poorly upon them, we
Speaker 5: don't know yet. But for whatever reason, he thinks it's
Speaker 5: worth taking some time so that the judge can take
Speaker 5: a look at this review and then decide how to
Speaker 5: move forward. We have to keep in mind and remind
Speaker 5: the audience that there are multiple paths to freedom for
Speaker 5: the Menindez brothers. This resentencing hearing is one of them.
Speaker 5: That risk assessment comes from the other one, which is
Speaker 5: the state system, the clemency system, which could be granted
Speaker 5: by Governor Newsom. He's the one who asked for this
Speaker 5: risk assessment from the Parole Board and now does apparently out.
Speaker 5: There was a bit of a surprise to learn that
Speaker 5: this morning.
Speaker 3: Who do we expect to hear from in terms of testify,
Speaker 3: assuming that the hearing goes forward?
Speaker 5: Not clear on that either. Neither party delivered any and
Speaker 5: they didn't show their hand. Basically, Mark gere Goes, the
Speaker 5: defense attorney for the Menindez brothers. He was asked outright
Speaker 5: whether the Menindez brothers would testify.
Speaker 2: He didn't say.
Speaker 5: Nathan Hakman did not want to predict whether the brothers
Speaker 5: would testify. They are appearing in court again via video
Speaker 5: from the prison closer to San Diego, so we're not sure.
Speaker 5: And one thing that we do know that won't be
Speaker 5: in the courtroom this time are any gruesome images from
Speaker 5: the crime scene. LA County District Attorney Nathan Hawkman his
Speaker 5: team showed some pretty graphic images from the crime scene
Speaker 5: last week when they were first trying to withdraw their
Speaker 5: motion for this resentencing hearing. That was made by George
Speaker 5: Gascon and that really upset the family.
Speaker 2: There was no warning, not.
Speaker 1: Like it was breaking news. These pictures have been publicized
Speaker 1: for thirty five years.
Speaker 5: That's kind of how Hawkman qualified his apology. He did say,
Speaker 5: he apologized me. He's like, look, we've been describing the
Speaker 5: crime scene for a long time. And also the crime
Speaker 5: scene was pretty well documented in some of those the
Speaker 5: shows that drew a lot of new or renewed interest
Speaker 5: in this case.
Speaker 2: But he's did say, if we do.
Speaker 5: Move in the direction of showing those At any point again,
Speaker 5: we will issue a warning so that folks could leave.
Speaker 5: Of course, some family members of the Nindezes who are
Speaker 5: in support of their release say one of their older
Speaker 5: family members had to go to the hospital after which
Speaker 5: she was so traumatized by it.
Speaker 1: Well, they should good, because that's why those boys, that's
Speaker 1: why those men are locked up, because of that crime scene,
Speaker 1: because of what they did.
Speaker 2: That's what Nathan Hochman said again today. You know, Mark Garrigos, the.
Speaker 5: Defense attorney, says that Nathan Hockman in his office, they're
Speaker 5: not giving enough credit to the rehabilitation of the Minnetz brothers.
Speaker 5: They've been model prisoners, they've grown and they deserve a
Speaker 5: chance at freedom. But Hawkman says, look, the facts haven't
Speaker 5: changed from the nineties. This was premeditated. It was Bruce,
Speaker 5: and they lied about it. They tried to make it
Speaker 5: look like a mafia hit. And then they had other
Speaker 5: evolving stories since then, and even now as they inch
Speaker 5: close to freedom, they have yet to take full responsibility
Speaker 5: or offer an apology or any remorse that is sufficient
Speaker 5: to a level that Nathan Hawkman could agree.
Speaker 1: With that would ruin the book tour, Michael, that would
Speaker 1: ruin the appearance tour that they're going to do and
Speaker 1: earn all that money that was snatched away from them
Speaker 1: all those years ago by their evil parents. This way
Speaker 1: they could get out and maintain their innocence and rack
Speaker 1: up all the money in all those appearances, and they'll
Speaker 1: be superstars and they'll be on TikTok. It'll be great.
Speaker 1: Think of all the money and the cars and the
Speaker 1: rolexes they can buy. It's the same moo that it
Speaker 1: was in nineteen eighty nine. They're looking out for number one. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: if they really wanted to get out and just own
Speaker 1: up to it and be on your way.
Speaker 5: It's as if you're speaking through Nathan Hoffman himself. Those
Speaker 5: are the that's the exact same sentiment, exactly that.
Speaker 2: Chance says she wants.
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about Navian Hawkman speaking through me?
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about that? Michael?
Speaker 3: I will now unfortunately now just kidding, Michael, just to
Speaker 3: quick aside, do you think she's pushing too hard to
Speaker 3: be your friend? I'm open to friendship, but I.
Speaker 5: That I'm just not fun, Like I'm not that guy.
Speaker 4: I'm not fun.
Speaker 1: I'm not fun either. Yes, so we could go.
Speaker 2: I've invited you.
Speaker 5: I've said, let's get let's try this in about six
Speaker 5: months when the Down Abbey movie comes out. That way,
Speaker 5: I have enough time to mentally prepare, you have enough
Speaker 5: time to reconsider and UH.
Speaker 3: And you know on the connecter come up between now
Speaker 3: and then. Perfect. All right, Michael, thank you. If anything happens,
Speaker 3: you let us know. I sure will thank Michael. Monks
Speaker 3: there out at the Vani's courthouse again covering the story
Speaker 3: of the UH, the hearing, the latest hearing for Menanda's brothers.
Speaker 3: Promise this, We'll do this when we come back. The
Speaker 3: motivation Monday on a Thursday. It's a good one. It's pertinent,
Speaker 3: it's topical. It's somebody that we've talked about many, many
Speaker 3: times in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty Florida State University. We do now know that the
Speaker 1: suspect has been taken into police custody. Multiple victims reported
Speaker 1: in this shooting there at FSU.
Speaker 3: The Governor of Florida, Ronde Santis, the President President Trump
Speaker 3: both have been briefed on this. There are some reports
Speaker 3: that there have been fatalities. Action News of Fox affiliate
Speaker 3: out of Jacksonville is reporting that there are five fatalities
Speaker 3: in this I'm not quite sure if that number has
Speaker 3: been corroborated by others. Another TV station, WCTV has suggested
Speaker 3: that there were six put in the hospital, but no
Speaker 3: known conditions on those, but that they do have one
Speaker 3: person in custody, and of course we have to go
Speaker 3: with the Always it seems like there's always a point
Speaker 3: where someone says, but.
Speaker 2: There may be others.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very rarely is that the case, but it is
Speaker 3: something that they are looking on.
Speaker 1: Ryan Cedar Grin is a twenty one year old communication student.
Speaker 1: He says he and about thirty others hid in a
Speaker 1: bowling alley in the lower level of the student union
Speaker 1: after seeing students run from a nearby bar. He said,
Speaker 1: in that moment, it was survival. About fifteen minutes of hiding,
Speaker 1: university police escorting the students out of the union. This
Speaker 1: guy says, you saw somebody getting emergency treatment on the lawn.
Speaker 3: One of the other stations does say that the lockdown continues.
Speaker 3: According to Florida State, they're asking for everybody who is
Speaker 3: still on campus to remain in their shelter in place
Speaker 3: mode at this point. Although the images that we've seen
Speaker 3: it doesn't look very tense. I mean, whatever has happened
Speaker 3: appears to have happened. I haven't even seen images of officers.
Speaker 2: Going room to room to try to sweep for anybody.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that belief is that there
Speaker 3: is somebody else or if they're just doing that out
Speaker 3: of an abundance of caution. Of course, all Florida State
Speaker 3: in for events, athletics, everything, they've been canceled for the day,
Speaker 3: and they're telling you if you're not on that Florida
Speaker 3: State campus already, to not go there for the rest
Speaker 3: of the day. Again, we know that the governor and
Speaker 3: that the President have both been briefed on whatever's going
Speaker 3: on at Florida State, and if we do get information,
Speaker 3: then we will bring it to you as well.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we've skipped on motivational Monday this past Monday,
Speaker 1: so let's just get right to it on this Thursday.
Speaker 3: So this was actually a late addition to the potential
Speaker 3: motivational moments, and it comes from not from the show
Speaker 3: Love on the Spectrum, but from one of the part
Speaker 3: anticipants in the show Love on the Spectrum. Tanner is
Speaker 3: a guy who lives in I believe he's in South Carolina,
Speaker 3: and he's always got a smile on his face.
Speaker 2: He's always happy.
Speaker 3: We talked about him yesterday in that his mom had
Speaker 3: said she was upset that one of the dates that
Speaker 3: he had on this show didn't turn out to be
Speaker 3: what he thought it was going to be, and she
Speaker 3: was uncomfortable because he wants somebody who's outgoing, and they
Speaker 3: matched him up with somebody who was really quiet and reserved.
Speaker 3: But this is a guy, so he delivers a cameo
Speaker 3: to someone and cameo. As you go on the website
Speaker 3: and you celebrity of some kind, you have them record
Speaker 3: a message a happy birthday, or you had one from
Speaker 3: William hung from American Idol talking about space wars, and
Speaker 3: you pay however however much it is, and they'll record
Speaker 3: something for you. My wife was watching this today all
Speaker 3: right last night, and I had her send it to
Speaker 3: me today and this is again from cameo Tanner delivering
Speaker 3: a message to someone I think her name is jam
Speaker 3: and from somebody named Gary.
Speaker 6: Garrett told me that you need some daily motivation well here,
Speaker 6: I have to give it to you. This is your
Speaker 6: reminder that you're brilliant and beautiful, indulgent and indeligent and capable,
Speaker 6: and you have really good energy. You're a bright light
Speaker 6: to be around, and you are amazing friends and white,
Speaker 6: and you smoke it. You look good, and you're soft
Speaker 6: and your fears and you're capable of doing hard things
Speaker 6: through cushing it every day, and you're blessed and your
Speaker 6: love of a great laugh and a great spoul.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful. Will you send me that so I can
Speaker 1: listen to it every morning where I get out of bed.
Speaker 3: Maybe you should listen to it as you're driving out
Speaker 3: of the parking lot at so Far Stadium.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would have the right effect.
Speaker 1: All right, we've got tons to get to and swamp watch.
Speaker 1: We're on top of what's going on in Florida, and
Speaker 1: we've got eyes and ears in the courtroom for the
Speaker 1: Menanda's brothers hearing and keep it right here.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 3: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday
Speaker 3: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
