Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, we're we're we're in
Speaker 1: a closet location today. We got this vague email in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night that our studio was broken.
Speaker 1: There was no timetable, there was no details. It was
Speaker 1: just you're going to be in a closet today. Good luck.
Speaker 1: There's nobody here. Uh, it's just us Elmer Keana, and
Speaker 1: we're in a closet. We have no clock in here, Peter.
Speaker 1: There's no clock. There's no television that functions, and there's
Speaker 1: no clock. There's no windows. There is a door barely.
Speaker 1: But you guys, we have we have literally a stopwatch
Speaker 1: that we can use to tell time. Yeah, which we
Speaker 1: have to remember what hour it is. But I mean
Speaker 1: when I got started in radio in market one ninety
Speaker 1: eight in Chico, California, which was great, I mean that
Speaker 1: was like the Fox Business Studios. Compared to where we're
Speaker 1: at right now, right in this closet, Like the walls
Speaker 1: aren't even really padded. It sounds probably a little echo. Wee. No,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're in a closet. Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 2: Yeah it sounds awful. No, it doesn't sound awful. It
Speaker 2: just sounds like you're in a little teeny tiny room.
Speaker 1: Like I feel.
Speaker 3: There's also blood spot KANU show the blood splatter, of
Speaker 3: the blood pattern there, of the there was there was
Speaker 3: a murder in this room at some point.
Speaker 1: Well, there's gonna be a lot more murders that happen
Speaker 1: if they don't get this all figured out. This is insane.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the engineers. They're great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're the ones who are running around, running around, they're sweating,
Speaker 1: they're doing stuff. But like how it works out where
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles the main studio for KFI is broken
Speaker 1: and then like nobody is just like it's just broken.
Speaker 4: Okay, cool, So we're in a closet, like what you
Speaker 4: guys should have been here when it broke. Tell me more, Well,
Speaker 4: it broke it about five five.
Speaker 1: Oh so it was Amy, it was Conway.
Speaker 5: No, I'm blaming it on Kno.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was about five oh five and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, everything just start stopped working. Everything was fine,
Speaker 2: we started wake up call, we did you know, Here's
Speaker 2: what's going on, Here's who we're talking to when we
Speaker 2: went to go to our first interview and we could
Speaker 2: hear him, but he couldn't hear us. And then Cono said, well,
Speaker 2: everything's broken, the boards down, the computers are down.
Speaker 1: Just keep talking, is it China? Might be? Might be? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I was my.
Speaker 3: First valiation that for for you know, kicking out the
Speaker 3: Chinese visa holder, say one more.
Speaker 1: S talking item go on. Of all the redundancy around
Speaker 1: this place, we don't have redundancy for the main board
Speaker 1: in the studio, like for all the TPS reports that
Speaker 1: are asked about on this floor repeated late, we don't
Speaker 1: have a backup thing for the for the studio.
Speaker 3: The good news is we have a backup hand sanitizer.
Speaker 1: There's there's seen different hand sanitizers. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: scene of the same email about something completely irrelevant, right,
Speaker 1: But we don't have a working studio in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Well this technically we do work still in Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: Are we Dick and Sandy? Are we in Milwaukee? No?
Speaker 3: No, Milwaukee has wake up. Milwaukee got their studios redone
Speaker 3: last summer.
Speaker 1: They did. You're right, you're right, they did. We actually
Speaker 1: know that for a fact.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so, because we were going to do our
Speaker 3: show from their studio. Its beautiful, and we were supposed
Speaker 3: to go to the Republican Convention last year.
Speaker 1: The taxes, aren't they It is so cold in here
Speaker 1: as well Milwaukee.
Speaker 3: In here, there is no there's no common air conditioning
Speaker 3: system in this entire Each room is its own.
Speaker 1: It's a BAC system. Yeah, it's thirty two degrees here.
Speaker 1: It's like foxless. So there's no crop, there's no TV,
Speaker 1: there's no windows. Uh, this is like Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 3: Right, Maybe they're maybe they're trying to get us to
Speaker 3: confess to something.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, is that for real? This may be? There
Speaker 1: is this our YouTube video.
Speaker 5: This is their attempt at breaking us.
Speaker 1: You know what, well, we're already broken.
Speaker 5: We're not gonna let them win. Not in this case,
Speaker 5: We're not gonna let them win.
Speaker 1: Good luck.
Speaker 3: Oh so we have more hand sanitizer and bleach wipes
Speaker 3: in it. We have like what do they think happens
Speaker 3: in these places?
Speaker 1: Can they just give a shout out to Elmer who's
Speaker 1: running our board and doing it. Well, it's like it's
Speaker 1: like a lake of glass, Like there's no ripples, there's
Speaker 1: no stress. He does drama. I appreciate that. I like
Speaker 1: mess if I was Elmer, and it's not Elmer's fault
Speaker 1: at all. If anything goes wrong, it's still not Elmer's fault,
Speaker 1: but his his surree nature.
Speaker 3: I would say, even though this thing started, as Amy
Speaker 3: said soon after five o'clock, I would blame everybody who's
Speaker 3: not here exactly that there's gotta be.
Speaker 1: Something around with their heads on fire if our studio
Speaker 1: is cold. Put I made it.
Speaker 3: There was a comment one time when when we were
Speaker 3: in the original studios, this would have been five years ago,
Speaker 3: whatever it was, somebody had spilled coke or diet coke,
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to send it onto the on
Speaker 3: off button on the primary microphone in that studio. And
Speaker 3: this is back when there was another talk show host
Speaker 3: that that was on right before us, and he made
Speaker 3: a comment to me about, hey, just so you know,
Speaker 3: the the button is sticky, the on off button is
Speaker 3: sticky for the microphone, and I said, well, why haven't
Speaker 3: we gotten it fixed.
Speaker 5: It is literally the most important button.
Speaker 3: Not just in this room but in this building because
Speaker 3: this radio station and what it means and the responsibilit
Speaker 3: that we have as an emergency alert system and all that.
Speaker 3: I mean all of that stuff that goes on the
Speaker 3: law the one the one most important button in the
Speaker 3: entire building, and we allow people to get it gooey
Speaker 3: with spilled drinks and it's not fixed immediately. I blew
Speaker 3: my mind. That was years ago. That is never that
Speaker 3: has not been a problem in a long time. But
Speaker 3: it was one of those things where it was like, Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, if we run a little late today, it's because again,
Speaker 1: we have no clock in the closet.
Speaker 3: I would like to say we're running on a sun dial,
Speaker 3: but then we realize we have no access to the
Speaker 3: sun because there's no windows in here.
Speaker 1: So what do you say?
Speaker 5: How long you think it's been since we started?
Speaker 1: I don't. I have no idea, but I would like
Speaker 1: to say this guys. Elm Gary, you guys are good
Speaker 1: prison cellmates. Well, like I feel like a good vibe
Speaker 1: in here despite the hell surround hell is surroundings.
Speaker 5: Smash cut to smash, cut to about nine four five.
Speaker 1: I don't care. You're right we are in early start
Speaker 1: selling us for cigarettes. That sounds so good right now.
Speaker 1: You're an awful cell mate. I could go south really quick.
Speaker 3: Well, I think Elmer has the first turn in the yard.
Speaker 3: He's got a full hour out there for for R
Speaker 3: and R.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get I have to rims can drive me insane.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna go walk around the hallway fluorescent lighting.
Speaker 1: My skin is yellow. You have John.
Speaker 3: I think I am John because it is liver failure.
Speaker 3: My liver and kidneys are just shot.
Speaker 1: As a reservs. Very doesn't do well with lighting, not
Speaker 1: the sun, not fluorescent. But it's a very sensitive pigment
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with here.
Speaker 5: I mean, we could turn some of the lights off,
Speaker 5: can't we.
Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't It doesn't have to look like
Speaker 3: we're in a slaughterhouse in here.
Speaker 1: It's pretty awful. Yeah, that's nice. That's nice, that kind
Speaker 1: of mood light.
Speaker 5: Do we have some candles somewhere we could go?
Speaker 1: Don't we have some candles we can burn the effing
Speaker 1: building down with when we come back.
Speaker 3: Some actual stuff that's going on today, A couple of
Speaker 3: court that well, there's like three or four different court
Speaker 3: things that the Trump administration is involved with today.
Speaker 1: Does it even matter?
Speaker 5: I feel like, I mean, for other people who are
Speaker 5: not in the closet.
Speaker 1: Feel like there's a good experiment to be had with
Speaker 1: with all of this today, Like you know, the argument
Speaker 1: when you put people in prison, like what do you
Speaker 1: expect them to do? You expect them to flourish? You
Speaker 1: expect them to just thrive. Do you expect them to
Speaker 1: talk about tariffs in the court system?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: No, they sit here and they do not flourish, and
Speaker 1: they don't want to talk about anything important because they're
Speaker 1: pissed off.
Speaker 5: No, I know why that guy tried to swim away
Speaker 5: from any where.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: It's a morbid story, but it's one that needs to
Speaker 1: be told and talked about. You've had kids, correct, You've
Speaker 1: had miners in your home under your roof where you
Speaker 1: make the rules. They were my kids. Yeah, but your friend,
Speaker 1: I know, would you say, would.
Speaker 5: I have miners in my home? It sounds like it's something.
Speaker 1: That your kids have had friends over. Okay, yes, and
Speaker 1: under your roof, your rules. Something were to happen to
Speaker 1: one of those kids where you kind of make the rules, you're.
Speaker 5: On the hook for that, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of what's going on with the
Speaker 1: City of La when it likes to rule based on feelings,
Speaker 1: and it's not nice to force homeless people into treatment
Speaker 1: or off the street. You're setting the rules for your house,
Speaker 1: and the rules are anything goes in our house. So
Speaker 1: when a woman dies in your house under your rules
Speaker 1: and her family finds her body being eaten by dogs,
Speaker 1: it's on you, La, And that's exactly what's happening. And
Speaker 1: not a lot of people are paying attention to this
Speaker 1: because this is a family that doesn't look like Lacy Peterson,
Speaker 1: so not a lot of people are paying attention to
Speaker 1: what's going on. But this family is saying, wait a
Speaker 1: minute here, you didn't clean up that encampment, and we
Speaker 1: found our mother dead and being eaten by docs. Right,
Speaker 1: what the hell? What's going on? And the city should
Speaker 1: be held accountable. We'll talk about it coming up in
Speaker 1: the next hour.
Speaker 3: A couple of rulings that have come down that have
Speaker 3: been pretty swift kicks to the Trump administration. One of
Speaker 3: them just came down as we were starting the show
Speaker 3: in the Closet today, a federal judge extended in order
Speaker 3: to block the Trump administration's attempt to bar Harvard from
Speaker 3: enrolling foreign students. So in this case, the district judge
Speaker 3: granted the Harvard's request for this preliminary injunction. This blocks
Speaker 3: the government's action until they can decide the case. It
Speaker 3: had already been paused since last week, when that same
Speaker 3: judge issued a temporary restraining order.
Speaker 1: Speaking of judges, I'm sure you've heard the news by
Speaker 1: now that a federal judge says that those global tariff
Speaker 1: policies are blowney Well, Trump's head of the National Economic
Speaker 1: Council has gone on Fox Business this morning and called
Speaker 1: the decision just a heacup in the whole tariff plan.
Speaker 1: Love the way you say that heacup.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know it sounds like you're saying a thing like, oh,
Speaker 3: he's only a he coup and from Peru.
Speaker 1: Say he always said he cup that was caused by
Speaker 1: activist judges. He said, in a month or two, you're
Speaker 1: going to look ahead and see that countries have opened
Speaker 1: their markets to American products, they've lowered their non tariff barriers,
Speaker 1: they've lowered their tariffs, and blah blah blah. Basically, you're
Speaker 1: going to see as time plays out, that the tariff
Speaker 1: Plan is working and that this judge is not in
Speaker 1: possession of the jurisdiction to make this all go away.
Speaker 3: This, by the way, this Court of International Trade. Very
Speaker 3: few people knew about the Court of International Trade until
Speaker 3: they took that case last week.
Speaker 1: So that was one.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one issue of all of this. The
Speaker 3: second is, you know, the White House's assertion that this
Speaker 3: is activist judges making foreign policy or trade policy. This
Speaker 3: is judges paying attention to the Constitution of the United
Speaker 3: States and the laws as they exist.
Speaker 5: And they're trying to.
Speaker 3: Parse out the specifics of what responsibilities, sorry, what capability
Speaker 3: the president has under that International Emergency Economic Powers Act
Speaker 3: of nineteen seventy seven to impose tariffs on other nations.
Speaker 1: So that is exactly what is in question, and that
Speaker 1: is exactly what the judge in this case was looking at.
Speaker 1: Trump based his decision on that nineteen seventy seven International
Speaker 1: Economic Emergency Powers Act. The grounds were that the large
Speaker 1: and persistent trade deficit represented a national emergency. So you
Speaker 1: have to believe that we're in a national emergency to
Speaker 1: say that the tariffs that were put in place are okay,
Speaker 1: what constitutes a national emergency. The Court of International Trade
Speaker 1: ruled that Trump overstepped his authority in imposing the tariffs.
Speaker 1: One of them, now, the guy who went on Fox Business. Sorry,
Speaker 1: just to put a bow on it. The guy that
Speaker 1: went on Fox Business and said in a month or
Speaker 1: two this is all going to play out activist judges
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He said, no, no, no, bentanyl Ventanyl's a
Speaker 1: national crisis. And that's why we heard that so often, right,
Speaker 1: what fentanyl the border of Canada and were like, Canada,
Speaker 1: there's been like four cases of fentanyl in the past
Speaker 1: eighteen months or something that acrossed the border. But that's
Speaker 1: exactly the that's what they're hanging their hat on, is
Speaker 1: a fentanyl crisis.
Speaker 3: It's got to be something like that because you can't
Speaker 3: you can't point to our trade deficit, for example, and
Speaker 3: say that that's become an emergency because we've run trade
Speaker 3: deficits for four plus decades that that part of it
Speaker 3: is not would not stand up to scrutiny under this case.
Speaker 3: The idea of it being fentanel being the main issue,
Speaker 3: that's going to be a harder issue for the INN.
Speaker 3: I mean this again, this is international Trade Court that
Speaker 3: we're talking about, So how are they going to be
Speaker 3: able to decide on that. This is one of those
Speaker 3: issues as well that goes back to very basic constitutional
Speaker 3: separation of powers, because the Constitution gives Congress most of
Speaker 3: the power when it comes to imposing tariffs for foreign trade,
Speaker 3: but over the course of one hundred years or so,
Speaker 3: the Congress has given the executive branch more and more
Speaker 3: power when it comes to imposing terriffs, which is why
Speaker 3: they're using that International Emergency Economic Powers Act of nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy seven as the filter through which they're looking at
Speaker 3: this case.
Speaker 1: It's not over.
Speaker 3: It seems to me, based on the way that they
Speaker 3: ruled this panel of federal judges, that the Supreme Court
Speaker 3: would agree with them based on the text that they used.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know
Speaker 3: the entire ruling, but this seems to be one of
Speaker 3: those things where if the president wants to impose tariffs
Speaker 3: individually for individual reasons on individual countries, that's one thing,
Speaker 3: But this mostly affects those blanket tariffs that he was
Speaker 3: imposing over the course of the last couple of months.
Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday and now it has happened.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is pulling out of the administration, and not
Speaker 1: just fracturing his relationship with Trump or severing it at
Speaker 1: least this phase of the friendship, but now going after
Speaker 1: Republicans as a whole. Very interesting. Be careful who you
Speaker 1: make bedfellows with bedfellows. I don't know if I've ever
Speaker 1: used that word.
Speaker 3: Yes, you have, have I sure it seems like something
Speaker 3: you'd say all the time.
Speaker 1: It really doesn't. Where did I pick that up from? Enemy?
Speaker 1: Where am I learning these things? I don't know the
Speaker 1: official term? Awful one are my eighty nine bedfellows? What's next?
Speaker 5: Various creams and lotions that you put on your skin.
Speaker 1: I'm already doing that. Oh, you need to get back
Speaker 1: into the beef on your face? Are you right? Do
Speaker 1: you have the jail cough?
Speaker 3: I've got Legionaire's disease from being in this place too long.
Speaker 1: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: The metal toilet sink combo in the corner hasn't been
Speaker 3: pulled away from the wall yet. Yeah, that's how we're
Speaker 3: getting out of here. We don't even have a toilet. Hey, guys,
Speaker 3: that's how we're getting out of here.
Speaker 1: We don't even have a toilet. Well, PS, guess what,
Speaker 1: it's not just us. It's broken our Yeah, there is.
Speaker 1: There is a garbage can, or as they say, a toilet.
Speaker 1: It's for everything, it's for everything. It's a catch all.
Speaker 3: We're in a temporary studio today. We hope it's temporary.
Speaker 3: We hope it's temporary. Also, we don't know how long
Speaker 3: this is going to be, but they told us before
Speaker 3: that temporary studios only last a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1: Pump up the volume. The major motion picture starring Christian
Speaker 1: Slater had more advanced technology than what we're dealing with
Speaker 1: in our closet. Yeah all ps. The talkback feature also
Speaker 1: not working. I don't know why. So that's not working.
Speaker 1: A completely different system.
Speaker 3: The lights, the lights in that room over there. Everything
Speaker 3: we're flickering on lights like I was having a seizure yea,
Speaker 3: and I wasn't check.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, this could be the end, And the best
Speaker 1: part about it is nobody cares. Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. We've got work to do. If anyone's
Speaker 1: still listening, if this is still on, we will do
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Chinese visas guys, Marco Rubio has basic decided that we
Speaker 3: are going to revoke the visas of Chinese students, and
Speaker 3: it's in his purview to do so, we believe, and
Speaker 3: the Chinese students are now very anxious and angry after
Speaker 3: he is vowed to do this. Rubio said that the
Speaker 3: State Department was revising visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of
Speaker 3: all future applications from China, including Hong Kong. The statement
Speaker 3: that made the announcement yesterday didn't define actually what critical
Speaker 3: fields of study were, but anybody who might have ties
Speaker 3: to the Chinese Communist Party or who studies in those
Speaker 3: critical fields would be would have their visas revoked.
Speaker 1: This has been a major.
Speaker 3: Issue that feels like has never been addressed by any
Speaker 3: president over the course of the last twenty five thirty
Speaker 3: forty years.
Speaker 1: Well, how do you determine which students have ties to
Speaker 1: the Communist Party? I mean, I don't want to go
Speaker 1: back to Japanese war camps, but this is right.
Speaker 3: Just saying they're from China doesn't necessarily mean that they
Speaker 3: have ties to the Chinese Communist.
Speaker 1: Party, especially in twenty twenty five. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you determine that.
Speaker 5: But if you think about we get a lot.
Speaker 1: Of talent from China, obviously to international students pay full
Speaker 1: tuition as well.
Speaker 3: Now to mention that the long cultural history that Chinese
Speaker 3: Americans have embedded in part, especially along the West coast,
Speaker 3: in parts and cities along the West coast, but there
Speaker 3: has to be an acknowledgment that China is emerging as
Speaker 3: our number one potential enemy.
Speaker 5: I mean, the way they like to describe it now.
Speaker 1: Is that they're it's sailed, China is entrenched. The whole
Speaker 1: we go back to the balloon that was flying around
Speaker 1: for China. China's already feels like twenty years ago. In
Speaker 1: our phones and our computers and our homes. We need China.
Speaker 1: We're relying on China. That ship has sailed. This seems
Speaker 1: very nineteen fifty three to me. And I understand why
Speaker 1: the Trump administration has picked this fight with universities. I
Speaker 1: understand the fight between protecting our information protecting our country,
Speaker 1: and I get that. And I also understand just the
Speaker 1: distaste for the elite community that looks down upon Trump
Speaker 1: and all the people who voted for them. I know
Speaker 1: that that exists. But instead of picking this fight with
Speaker 1: Harvard and Columbia and all of the elite universities are
Speaker 1: never going to be on your side or the elite,
Speaker 1: the elites or that school of thought or the left
Speaker 1: coast school of thought. Why not, like Trump mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: pour your love into trade schools. Pour your love into
Speaker 1: the schools that you support and that support America. These
Speaker 1: university are going to do whatever the hell they want
Speaker 1: to do, and you can fight in the courts, it's
Speaker 1: just going to be wasted time and wasted money, and
Speaker 1: you're not going to change their ideology. Why not just
Speaker 1: support what you find love for.
Speaker 3: Because they believe that there is a potential violent aspect
Speaker 3: of this use violent, not that they are going to
Speaker 3: start something on campuses, but that you have a nefarious
Speaker 3: is a better term, that they believe that there is
Speaker 3: of the two hundred and what was the number, two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand Chinese two hundred and seventy five
Speaker 3: thousand Chinese students that exist within the United States.
Speaker 1: Now, why now what they're going to mobilize on behalf
Speaker 1: of the communist government of China and take the country down.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I don't know if that's a conspiracy theory
Speaker 3: or if that's a very well thought out plan, but
Speaker 3: China plays the long game.
Speaker 1: That's the way that they have done it.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put it past a nefarious government like China
Speaker 3: to impose those, let's say, some strong ideals into some
Speaker 3: of these students who do have ties to the Chinese
Speaker 3: Communist Party, or do have ties to the Chinese military
Speaker 3: or the spying apparatus that China has and says, hey, listen,
Speaker 3: you go do your thing, learn your thing.
Speaker 5: Have fun, go to all the UCLA games you want.
Speaker 3: But when we call upon you, you need to answer
Speaker 3: or your family and answer.
Speaker 1: What does that even mean? I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's also putting down America. I feel like we're talking
Speaker 1: about the red wave of like I said nineteen fifty three,
Speaker 1: and America is so much stronger than that. And I
Speaker 1: think that even if you come to this country with
Speaker 1: communist ideals, you kind of get Americanized, right, But they're not.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying is they're beholden to the Chinese
Speaker 3: government regardless of how much they love this country.
Speaker 1: I don't know the idea that they're just Chinese bots
Speaker 1: that can just be you can press a button on
Speaker 1: them and they'll suddenly mobilize for the government of China
Speaker 1: to do what. I don't know what more could do
Speaker 1: to infiltrate this country that they haven't done already. What
Speaker 1: more could they do? The thing is, they don't there's
Speaker 1: no y are. They don't love it.
Speaker 5: They want all of it.
Speaker 3: They want all of the intellectual property, they want all
Speaker 3: of the military secrets, they want all of the industrial seats.
Speaker 1: I think they have access to all of that at
Speaker 1: this point. So but then we just and we do too,
Speaker 1: and we do as well. No, we don't.
Speaker 3: We don't have American students in China to the anywhere
Speaker 3: near the numb but we.
Speaker 1: Have intelligence on what China is doing in terms of
Speaker 1: military and the like.
Speaker 5: But I want a bunch of everyone's.
Speaker 1: In everyone's business in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: I want to bund a bunch of boneheaded American college
Speaker 3: kids to take their medieval puppetry classes at the University
Speaker 3: of Beijing or University of Shanghai or University of Jesus.
Speaker 1: That's never going to happen, not because we have a
Speaker 1: new dream job in America and it's stay at home Sun.
Speaker 1: That's why that's and nobody wants to make babies with
Speaker 1: those guys.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's cut through this small talk Shally, or do
Speaker 3: you want to do the Elon Musk thing?
Speaker 5: You want to save that to the.
Speaker 1: Elon mussing the small talk thing. I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about when we could use the talkback feature. But since
Speaker 1: we now are in Bangladesh doing the show and have
Speaker 1: no access to technology or things at work, am I
Speaker 1: putting down Bangladesh? Probably?
Speaker 5: I have not listened to Bangladeshi radio.
Speaker 1: It might be spectacular. They might have all the bells
Speaker 1: and whistles, are just working studios.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but Elon Musk getting out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I did want to talk about the cutting
Speaker 1: through small talk with magical questions. But I want to
Speaker 1: do that when we have access to the talkbacks. I
Speaker 1: want to get people's I want to get their responses.
Speaker 1: So so that's part of the show we can't.
Speaker 3: Do all right, The Gary and Shannon Show from from
Speaker 3: Cell Block G.
Speaker 1: When we come back.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Live today in Cell Block G. To crack up a
Speaker 3: little bit, starting to feel funny? Huh Yeah, feels weird.
Speaker 3: I just told Keana I was going to go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom real quick, and she said pick a corner.
Speaker 1: Did she really?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's getting real in here.
Speaker 5: We're in this weird temporary little studio today.
Speaker 1: You know what, It's so cute the way you say temporary,
Speaker 1: because remember when Okay, so, I was just listening to
Speaker 1: Handle talk about being humiliated, and I thought, hasn't he
Speaker 1: been humiliated for several years? Like what more humiliation could
Speaker 1: he possibly feel after all this time? Like what question
Speaker 1: could lead to more humiliation? And I was just hearkening
Speaker 1: back to, you know, seeing Jodie Becker yesterday and how
Speaker 1: we all started here twenty years ago, and when we
Speaker 1: first when we first moved into this building and how
Speaker 1: beautiful that studio was, you know, and I remember, you know,
Speaker 1: filling in for you on the Handle Show and so cool.
Speaker 1: And that was before Handle was humiliated to the point
Speaker 1: of where he is at now. And then we moved
Speaker 1: into the temporary studio which is down the hall, which
Speaker 1: is where we are, and they said it's just temporary.
Speaker 5: Six months, I think was the and we've been.
Speaker 1: In there for years. Yeah, and now you're calling our
Speaker 1: closet temporary, which is cute to me because I think
Speaker 1: maybe this is the plan that like we just keep
Speaker 1: getting scaled down and scaled down and scaled down, and
Speaker 1: now we're here in this so what's.
Speaker 5: The next Wait, what's the next thing?
Speaker 1: Then I think it's all over. I think it ends,
Speaker 1: and then you and I it ends. We use the
Speaker 1: skills that we have that are not radio to go
Speaker 1: find gainful employment. What are you going to do.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go make announcements at my local Low's home
Speaker 3: improvement store.
Speaker 1: I don't think they do those announcements anymore.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll find something. Maybe I'll just scare
Speaker 3: the birds out from the warehouse store.
Speaker 1: How quickly do you think you'll have a job? Like
Speaker 1: if we get an email.
Speaker 3: If I didn't have a job, would be I would
Speaker 3: go nuts and I would cause my wife to go.
Speaker 1: Nuts, right Like I would have a job tomorrow, Like
Speaker 1: if we got the email tonight. It depends on how
Speaker 1: what what's your definition of job?
Speaker 3: Because I could get something by tonight, I get I
Speaker 3: could get here's something that I could get work right tonight?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly, No, I'm not gonna have a career
Speaker 1: are you kidding? I don't have any skills, but I
Speaker 1: will have a job. I will have a job tomorrow
Speaker 1: by clothes of business. Because of what you said, I
Speaker 1: would go crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's safer for everyone for you to be employed,
Speaker 3: for you to have things to do.
Speaker 1: And the good thing about radio is it something that's
Speaker 1: always in my head, like because this could just people
Speaker 1: get fired from this job all the time and you
Speaker 1: have no notice. It just happens. So it's been something
Speaker 1: I've thought about for many, many, all of the years
Speaker 1: I've been in radio.
Speaker 5: You think this is the process of them slow funning.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just I'm laying it all out for you.
Speaker 1: Bro the white smoke, it's happening. The story we told
Speaker 1: you about yesterday was that Elon Musk seemed to be
Speaker 1: really pissed off about Trump's big beautiful bill. I didn't
Speaker 1: see his exit happening this soon. Well it was. It's
Speaker 1: always been this, right, It's always been a short term situation.
Speaker 1: But it seems like this was the straw that broke
Speaker 1: the camel's back. Well, I think that's a matter of
Speaker 1: doing sorry, disappoint me play that.
Speaker 3: Well, this is him in this CBS interview that he did,
Speaker 3: saying he was disappointed about the President's big bill that
Speaker 3: is still trying to make its way through coming.
Speaker 6: Was disappointed to see the massive spending Volle frankly, which
Speaker 6: increases the budge deeps if not doesn't decrease it, and
Speaker 6: that reminds the work that PDCH team is doing.
Speaker 3: So I mean being a special government employee, that's what
Speaker 3: he was designated. That means that he can only work
Speaker 3: a federal job for one hundred and thirty days each
Speaker 3: year that comes up. I mean we're already at the
Speaker 3: twenty ninth of May. We knew that this was coming
Speaker 3: if you start on January twentieth, which is what he did.
Speaker 3: It's the timing of his vocal disappointment with that bill,
Speaker 3: combined with the expiration date that we already knew was coming,
Speaker 3: that I think has begun. That is added to this
Speaker 3: story of Elon Musk is pissed off at the President,
Speaker 3: and I don't know if that's entirely true. They can
Speaker 3: have disagreements like that. Ted Cruz came out and just
Speaker 3: laid it out with Elon Musk and said he did
Speaker 3: a great job at what he came to do there, right.
Speaker 8: He came and spent four months working for the American
Speaker 8: people free of charge, didn't collect a salary, made nothing.
Speaker 8: He rooted out massive waste, fraud, and abuse, and he
Speaker 8: did so at enormous cost to himself. You look at
Speaker 8: his stockholdings as stockholdings dropped tens of billions of dollars.
Speaker 8: It was a personal sacrifice, and the death threats that
Speaker 8: were directed against him were massive.
Speaker 3: And he's going to go back and work. He's got
Speaker 3: plenty of stuff to keep him busy. He's upset probably
Speaker 3: that he didn't that some of these cuts that he
Speaker 3: wanted to enact through the Department of Government Efficiency are
Speaker 3: being completely rewritten by this big, beautiful bill that's supposed
Speaker 3: to be making its way through the Senate.
Speaker 1: It guts clean energy tax credits, and he says, abruptly
Speaker 1: ending the energy tax credits with threatened America's energy independence
Speaker 1: and the reliability of our grid. It would terminate those
Speaker 1: credits for electric vehicles at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: just qualifying Tesla's from a seventy five hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: incentive at a time when the company is already in trouble.
Speaker 1: This comes around the same time that a new poll
Speaker 1: shows that Democrats have fallen out of love on electric
Speaker 1: vehicles because of Elon Musk. So stupid, hah. I mean
Speaker 1: we didn't need this poll. We've been talking about. This
Speaker 1: has been my bugaboo with the Democrats in the hypocrisy
Speaker 1: of it all for many years, that you will hit
Speaker 1: us over the head with needing electric vehicles in California
Speaker 1: getting us into electric vehicles. Tesla came around and was
Speaker 1: not the leaf and was beautiful and we all want one,
Speaker 1: and people got them, and then all of a sudden, no,
Speaker 1: they're bad because of Elon Musk. Well, what is it?
Speaker 1: You want to save the environment or you want to
Speaker 1: pick a pissing match with this guy over his friendship
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. I mean, aren't we Aren't we working
Speaker 1: towards saving the planet. Isn't that what you want to do? Democrats?
Speaker 1: I never understood that it was the most ladies. It
Speaker 1: was the most blatant show of hypocrisy I've seen politically
Speaker 1: in a long time. And I know both sides are
Speaker 1: guilty of it. Republicans can be just as hypocritical, but
Speaker 1: on this issue, it is so transparent and so gross,
Speaker 1: and you need to get over it. Because the Tesla
Speaker 1: is a beautiful car. You miss any part of this
Speaker 1: fail although sometimes of people that drive those things, I
Speaker 1: just want to plow in them with my truck. Well,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. They think they're better than everybody. They really do.
Speaker 1: It's annoying.
Speaker 3: If you miss any part of this great show, the
Speaker 3: jail House edition, you can go back and check out
Speaker 3: the podcast.
Speaker 1: Also, I kind of keep my distance from them on
Speaker 1: the road because I feel like they're flammable. They're more flammable.
Speaker 1: They're more flammable. I don't know, like if I run
Speaker 1: outside of.
Speaker 3: The eighteen gallon tank of extremely flammable gasoline you carry
Speaker 3: your Undercarria.
Speaker 1: Aren't the trunk trucks heavier than the average vehicle the
Speaker 1: cyber truck?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: Probably very The regular Teslas are also heavier than other
Speaker 3: sized vehicles, I mean vehicles of the same size because
Speaker 3: of the battery.
Speaker 1: I don't need.
Speaker 3: That makes it safe for somebody to be in a Tesla? Yeah,
Speaker 3: you don't need a heavy vehicle.
Speaker 5: Have you seen that thing? You got to carry that
Speaker 5: thing around? It's a baby truck. That's not what I
Speaker 5: was talking about.
