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 Wednesday, October thirtieth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Are we going to do creepy stories every time? Sure?
Speaker 2: You want to hear what goes down in Kenya?
Speaker 3: Uh, they have creepy stories too, Yeah, Okay, We're doing
Speaker 3: global creepy stories today.
Speaker 1: Ah in Kenya a Massi folk tale about an ogre
Speaker 1: who used to raid villages for food. As told to
Speaker 1: the children, it goes like this, The ogre lived deep
Speaker 1: in the forest and would raid neighboring villages to kill cattle,
Speaker 1: which is the Masai community's symbol of wealth. Despite many
Speaker 1: warriors keeping guard, the ogre was able to kill the cattle.
Speaker 1: And then one day he fell in love with a
Speaker 1: beautiful Massi woman named sanaigan Yes, and he transformed into
Speaker 1: a messiah warrior to win her heart. When he revealed
Speaker 1: his real identity to Seyanyan as an ogre, she told
Speaker 1: the warriors, and the warriors used t Nanyan as bait,
Speaker 1: and when they did, they speared the ogre while he
Speaker 1: was meeting with her. Even after he transformed back into
Speaker 1: the ogre. He could not survive. He fell and died.
Speaker 1: His five fingers, it is said, formed the five peaks
Speaker 1: that are the present day Gong Hills in the outskirts
Speaker 1: of the capitol, Nairobi and a popular hiking destination.
Speaker 2: That's a good story.
Speaker 3: Here's the pitch swinging the ball's rilled left field Fernandez
Speaker 3: bad gone.
Speaker 2: Slam and pope over the left field wall.
Speaker 4: Dan Yaki Stadium explodes. It's five two.
Speaker 3: That was John Shamby on ESPN Radio talking about Volpi's
Speaker 3: big grand slam. I guess blew some life finally into
Speaker 3: the Yankees' bats and they were able to score an
Speaker 3: eleven to four win last night. Dodgers still lead the
Speaker 3: series three to one. In the World Series. The big play, though,
Speaker 3: was the foul ball into right field.
Speaker 2: Dodgers right fielder Mookie Bets goes to the wall.
Speaker 3: Basically not a whole lot of foul territory in that
Speaker 3: party Yankee Stadium. He goes to the wall, reaches over
Speaker 3: the wall and catches the ball, and then two fans
Speaker 3: actually grab Mooky Bets's One guy grabs his glove, the
Speaker 3: other guy next to him grabs mooky Bets's arm, the
Speaker 3: free arm that's not wearing the glove his right arm
Speaker 3: and is holding mooky Bets while his buddy is prying
Speaker 3: the baseball out of mooky Bets's glove.
Speaker 1: It looks like it could be an injury situation because
Speaker 1: he's not letting go of his wrist and Mookie's outstretched
Speaker 1: at the most outstretched. He could be I mean, I
Speaker 1: understand ding up or whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: as what they said they were doing, but that's taking
Speaker 1: it too far and they should be banned from the
Speaker 1: stadium the fact that they're let in. First of all,
Speaker 1: who if they won the lottery, they both won the
Speaker 1: lottery for two games in the World Series, that's that's
Speaker 1: unheard of. And otherwise you're gonna pay the kind of
Speaker 1: money it costs to go to the World Series twice
Speaker 1: two times.
Speaker 2: Like that's so pretty well off if that's the case.
Speaker 3: Austin Coppo Bianco is that Yankee season ticket holder who
Speaker 3: was the one wearing the gray Road jersey in the
Speaker 3: front row right down that right field line. He's the
Speaker 3: one that grabbed the glove as Mookie Bets made the catch,
Speaker 3: and his friend, a guy named John Peter grabbed Bets's
Speaker 3: right hand as Austin was prying the ball from the glove.
Speaker 3: They originally told ESPN last night that as they were
Speaker 3: escorted out of the stadium, you can't interfere with a
Speaker 3: play like that. It'd be different if one of them
Speaker 3: just reached up and caught the ball, yes, before Mookie
Speaker 3: Bets did. Right, that's not interfering, especially if it's in
Speaker 3: foul territory.
Speaker 1: Glove and prying the ball out is not something that
Speaker 1: is that you can do.
Speaker 2: Right, so they said.
Speaker 3: As they were being escorted out of the stadium, security
Speaker 3: told them they'd be allowed back in for Game five.
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball stepped in and asked the Yankees to
Speaker 3: disallow them from Game five. So Major League Baseball said, no, no,
Speaker 3: you're not coming back. Good now, they should kick them
Speaker 3: out a Yankee stadium forever forever. You cannot interfere with
Speaker 3: a game like that, because if you don't send a message,
Speaker 3: an absolute zero tolerance message like that, it's going to
Speaker 3: happen again.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely and player safety should be something that
Speaker 1: you keep in mind.
Speaker 3: And again this so if you remember back to the
Speaker 3: Dodgers Padres series in the League Championship Series, the Division Series.
Speaker 3: The home run that Mookie Bets kind of hit, I mean,
Speaker 3: he almost hit, and the left fielder for the Padres
Speaker 3: goes into the crowd and catches it and pulls it back.
Speaker 3: We were saying at the time, Hey, if you're that fan,
Speaker 3: you gotta grab that ball.
Speaker 2: Yeh. What I meant was, you got.
Speaker 3: To catch that ball right before he does, because if
Speaker 3: he's over the wall and you catch that ball, that's
Speaker 3: a home run.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: In this case, Mookie Bets catches the ball before the
Speaker 3: fan does and then they interfere.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you something that makes me sound like
Speaker 1: a bad fan but a good person.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you're okay, I'm living.
Speaker 1: I felt really bad for Volpi when he did not
Speaker 1: run the bases correctly, and it was like all the broadcast.
Speaker 2: Cabals about the hit to center field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he kind of just lingered at second yeah,
Speaker 1: and with no outs, right, And I felt really bad
Speaker 1: because what a freaking bonehead move.
Speaker 2: It's the World Series.
Speaker 1: I know you're young, but what the hell you should
Speaker 1: know that he should know what to do.
Speaker 2: He's young, but he's been playing the game for fishing. Sure,
Speaker 2: but his face.
Speaker 1: I felt so bad for him because he knew he
Speaker 1: was what a bonehead move? And is this going to
Speaker 1: cost us the series? Are we gonna lose this game
Speaker 1: and be swept the Yankees? I could hear everything going
Speaker 1: on inside his head, so that when he hit that
Speaker 1: grand slam, I felt so good for him, like I felt,
Speaker 1: I felt so happy that he was able to have
Speaker 1: a little.
Speaker 2: Bit of vindication. Yeah, I don't know what he saw.
Speaker 2: I don't know either.
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I didn't listen to any of
Speaker 1: the postgame stuff. All I did all I did as
Speaker 1: I saw the quote from him that said something to
Speaker 1: the effect of, you know, they're like, what's it like
Speaker 1: to hit a grand Slam in the World Series? And
Speaker 1: He's like, it's my dream, It's always my dream. But
Speaker 1: it was everyone's dream. It was my cousin's dream. Hell,
Speaker 1: it was probably my sister's dream.
Speaker 3: I loved that question, even though Freddy Freeman did it
Speaker 3: earlier in the series already. Yeah, but still, I mean,
Speaker 3: it's very rare. He, by the way, hit another home run.
Speaker 3: Did Freddy Freeman to mate to set the record? Now
Speaker 3: four games, four games, but six consecutive World Series games.
Speaker 2: Back when he was with Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, it's fun talking about how it's no question
Speaker 1: who the MVP of this will be. Oh yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna have to wear it on Arizona's voting.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna have to wait on Pennsylvania. It's going
Speaker 2: to come in pretty quick.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on
Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Hey, as We reported to You.
Speaker 1: According to Pew Research, sixty five percent of Americans say
Speaker 1: they always are often feel exhausted when they think about politics.
Speaker 1: Coming out up in about an hour, we are going
Speaker 1: to have a News Nation political contributor Denise Gitcham on.
Speaker 2: She wrote a.
Speaker 1: Book called Politics for People who Hate Politics, How to
Speaker 1: engage without losing your friends or selling your soul.
Speaker 3: And we know that going into next week is going
Speaker 3: to be pretty tense. A new set of CNN polls
Speaker 3: from battleground states show that Kamala Harris has a very
Speaker 3: thin lead in two of the blue Wall states. Donald
Speaker 3: Trump ties her in the third. In Michigan, Harris is
Speaker 3: up five. In Wisconsin, she's up six and in Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: they are tied at forty eight percent. The vast majority
Speaker 3: of those what are considered blue Wall state voters have
Speaker 3: locked in their choices. In fact, eight percent of likely
Speaker 3: voters in Pennsylvania, seven percent in Michigan, six percent in
Speaker 3: Wisconsin say they could change their minds before election day,
Speaker 3: so tiny percentages of people could change their minds.
Speaker 2: Would you like another ghost story? Okay?
Speaker 1: This one is from Hungary, The Marble Bride. Through the
Speaker 1: branches of stately trees on a leafy avenue in Hungary's capital,
Speaker 1: passerby and spot an unusual figure keeping solemn watch from above,
Speaker 1: the statue of a woman with a mournful expression peering
Speaker 1: from a stone balcony. The sculpture is known as the
Speaker 1: Marble Bride. It's unlike any of the other frescoes on
Speaker 1: surrounding buildings in Budapest, and the mystery of its presence
Speaker 1: has produced legends that go back nearly a century. In one,
Speaker 1: a young couple shared an apartment in the building. When
Speaker 1: the husband was called to fight in World War One,
Speaker 1: the wife waited patiently on the balcony each day for
Speaker 1: his return, and when a letter arrived with the news
Speaker 1: of his death on the front. The woman died right
Speaker 1: there of a broken heart, but the letter had been mistaken,
Speaker 1: and when the husband returned home and found his wife dead,
Speaker 1: he had a sculpture carved in her honor and placed
Speaker 1: where she had spent so many days faithfully waiting. Another
Speaker 1: legend says that the husband never returned from war. I
Speaker 1: knew it, and unable to accept the death, the woman
Speaker 1: stayed waiting on the balcony and eventually turned to stone.
Speaker 2: That's the one I believe. That's the one you believe. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that makes sense.
Speaker 3: We have a chance for you to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Here's how you pick it up.

Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Three suspects wanted for a series of violent robberies around
Speaker 3: southern california've finally been picked up. Nineteen twenty eight and
Speaker 3: thirty two year old guys couple from LA one from
Speaker 3: Free Know. They said these three were prolific robbery suspects
Speaker 3: responsible for many other robberies that involved many victims who
Speaker 3: have yet to be identified. They said one of these
Speaker 3: robberies took place in mid September September nineteenth, when the
Speaker 3: suspects confronted a male victim in a parking lot in
Speaker 3: Woodland Hills. He was punched and attacked as the impact
Speaker 3: knocked him to the ground. He was pinned on the
Speaker 3: ground as they removed his jewelry before they took off
Speaker 3: in a black BMW.
Speaker 1: These kind of sound like the assaults at Fashion Island
Speaker 1: and South Coast Plaza, where it seems like these people
Speaker 1: come from out of town. They go where they know
Speaker 1: people have money and they just wait and then just
Speaker 1: mug people in broad daylight.
Speaker 3: Sometimes on October twenty fourth, so a few days ago.
Speaker 3: Last week, two of them, one of them from LA
Speaker 3: one from Fresno, were arrested by the LAPD. They seized
Speaker 3: numerous items, including evidence, couple semi automatic pistols, and then
Speaker 3: the third guy, the nineteen year old, was arrested later
Speaker 3: that night in Long Beach. All of them charged with
Speaker 3: will be charged with arm robbery, being held on a
Speaker 3: million dollars bail each. So oh, by the way, while
Speaker 3: they were being the crimes were being committed, the nineteen
Speaker 3: year old was still wearing an ankle monitor from the
Speaker 3: La County Probation Pre Trial Services following his arrest in
Speaker 3: a couple of unrelated cases that occurred in July and August.
Speaker 1: PowerPoint presentations have now made their way from the office
Speaker 1: to the dating world.
Speaker 3: What would you would you put in a PowerPoint presentation
Speaker 3: about yourself?
Speaker 2: Well, it's about your friends.
Speaker 1: All hands on deck, they say, is a high energy
Speaker 1: matchmaking event where participants pitch their single friends to an
Speaker 1: audience of mostly singles with a slide deck presentation.
Speaker 2: Interesting, okay, so I will do your presentation? Oh you will? Yes.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: The campaign day has begun, former President Trump holding the
Speaker 3: rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, right.
Speaker 1: Now the bottom and then it became like an Elon
Speaker 1: Musk rocket ship.
Speaker 3: Right He's talking about charts that he's looking at. He's
Speaker 3: headed to Green Bay, Wisconsin. Later in the evening, Vice
Speaker 3: President Harris campaigning in Raleigh, North Carolina, before she moves
Speaker 3: on to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and then an event in Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: Two big endorsements we told you about today. Former Governor
Speaker 3: Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Kamala Harris and Buzz Aldrin endorsed Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I bowed up this.
Speaker 1: Morning and I was like, who's Arnold? The voting are
Speaker 1: of like, who's Buzz voting?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: NBC News has been tallying the number of early in
Speaker 3: person and mail in boat ballots that have been cast.
Speaker 3: Fifty four million people have all already voted. Fifty four million,
Speaker 3: ridiculously high.
Speaker 1: There's the story on a Good Day LA about people
Speaker 1: dying their pets, Dodger Blue Stop.
Speaker 2: It seems a little bit much. Your dog doesn't care. No.
Speaker 1: There was an article in the La Times about a
Speaker 1: new dating ritual going on. It's called all hands on Deck.
Speaker 1: It is not your typical singles mixer. This is where
Speaker 1: participants pitch their single friends to an audience of singles
Speaker 1: with a slide deck presentation like you would give to
Speaker 1: your team at a data report meeting. The example they
Speaker 1: use is a woman who is preparing to pitch her
Speaker 1: friend the audience of roughly two hundred. A few of
Speaker 1: their pals skip around the room holding up cardboard signs
Speaker 1: that' say team Jason to hype up the crowd. A
Speaker 1: live band is they're playing early two thousand's pop. The
Speaker 1: eleiger eligible bachelor I E. Jason makes his way to
Speaker 1: the stage, sits on a couch under a spotlight. The
Speaker 1: woman says into the microphone, who is Jason, before turning
Speaker 1: to the PowerPoint style presentation on two TV screens. The
Speaker 1: slide shows some of his baby photos, and the woman
Speaker 1: continues into the mic A boy looking for a gal
Speaker 1: in this sad, lonely la world. She starts listing reasons
Speaker 1: why her friend is a catch. He is artsy, he's
Speaker 1: financially stable, family oriented, goes to therapy over six feet
Speaker 1: and off tinder.
Speaker 3: Uh, this is probably a good idea if you're okay. So,
Speaker 3: if you're looking for a guy, you would want somebody
Speaker 3: who are very important. Yeah, endorsed by his friends. Does
Speaker 3: it matter that they're women or I mean, is it
Speaker 3: more important that they're women as opposed to a dude
Speaker 3: hyping up his buddy.
Speaker 1: It depends on what kind of duty is Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: if it's Gavin Newsome and a bunch of his rich
Speaker 1: no sock wearing I worry about my hair more than
Speaker 1: you do, friends, their validation.
Speaker 2: Is going to be nothing to me. Okay, they talk.
Speaker 3: It was an unnecessary shot, probably not just about the
Speaker 3: hair or the no socks thing, but that's okay. These
Speaker 3: people pitch their single friends to the audience of mostly
Speaker 3: singles with this slide deck presentation of PowerPoint stuff.
Speaker 2: And we've seen PowerPoint in all the play.
Speaker 3: My daughter put together a PowerPoint presentation to decide which
Speaker 3: college she wanted.
Speaker 2: To go to.
Speaker 1: One of my friends her daughter put together a PowerPoint
Speaker 1: presentation on why she should have snapchat on her phone.
Speaker 1: And when they're well done, they really do impress.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, they do. They hold this by the
Speaker 3: way at House of Boy. That's a word that I've
Speaker 3: never seen before.
Speaker 2: I don't know that word, and I don't want to
Speaker 2: say it wrong.
Speaker 3: Cook cot in the Arts District and the two people
Speaker 3: have put it on been dating for five years. They
Speaker 3: wanted this thing called All Hands on Deck to feel
Speaker 3: like a full on production. There's stage lights, there's a
Speaker 3: live ban, there's prizes.
Speaker 1: Cocotte is the French term for a Dutch oven.
Speaker 2: Well that makes me laugh. Well, not like that. You
Speaker 2: don't know that. And they say that silence is not golden.
Speaker 3: They encourage this to be a very loud and boisterous
Speaker 3: thing and encourage the crowd to get involved. So they said,
Speaker 3: they get about two hundred online submissions from participants. They
Speaker 3: select fifteen people based on which ones have the most
Speaker 3: intriguing and entertaining slide decks. The participants take turns presenting
Speaker 3: their slide decks limited to four minutes, images, videos, stories,
Speaker 3: and facts about the person that they're pitching.
Speaker 2: Basically.
Speaker 3: Some people even threw in extra theatrics and party favors.
Speaker 3: One woman passed out chocolate bars with a handmade label.
Speaker 1: This would be perfect for you because it incorporates creativity.
Speaker 1: You know you would you would make a very good
Speaker 1: PowerPoint presentation. I believe you would accept the full male theater.
Speaker 3: But the first slide would be you saying the reason
Speaker 3: he's single, is because his wife left him?
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't say that. How would you?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 2: I would ignore that, I would say you were I
Speaker 2: would lie, I would say you were a widower. Okay,
Speaker 2: if you lead with his wife left him, yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a red flag.
Speaker 3: So if you are in the audience and you see
Speaker 3: somebody up there that you like, you can virtually raise
Speaker 3: your hand, is what they say. You push a button
Speaker 3: on the website or on your phone.
Speaker 1: What I meant to say was you'd be very good
Speaker 1: at doing this for one of your friends. The power point,
Speaker 1: the acting, the hyping of the crowd, all of that.
Speaker 2: I don't have any friends that need to date.
Speaker 1: I'm it's a hypothetical, got it? Okay, right, you're too
Speaker 1: old for this.
Speaker 3: And then if you click that pick me button, then
Speaker 3: it's up to this the bestie, the single, the single's bestie,
Speaker 3: the presenter to decide who their person is going to
Speaker 3: go out.
Speaker 1: Now, to that end, would you trust your friends picking
Speaker 1: somebody for you?
Speaker 3: I would have to hand select my friends that were
Speaker 3: involved in the selection process.
Speaker 2: Really, you wouldn't trust well.
Speaker 3: I'd be to be honest, I might let's say I
Speaker 3: have to come up with a team of three to
Speaker 3: choose whoever I would date. I would pick probably one
Speaker 3: of my sisters. A h well, she would I would
Speaker 3: pick one of my sisters because she would have the
Speaker 3: female perspective, but also the knowledge of my family perspective,
Speaker 3: like is this person going to fit in with my family?
Speaker 2: And then a couple of dudes. Okay, yeah, because.
Speaker 1: If your wife left you hypothetical Okay, I'd want to
Speaker 1: be one of your pickers. Okay, because I think that
Speaker 1: I would be the picker that like, pick someone, you know,
Speaker 1: a little shady, somebody on you know, somebody a little edgy.
Speaker 2: Some mother would push me off my.
Speaker 1: Balance, Yeah, just to see what would happen.
Speaker 2: So you would be the agent of chaos in that hole.
Speaker 1: I'd probably have to go back and reread that choose
Speaker 1: your adventure book because I probably chose the wrong one,
Speaker 1: But it would be fun while you were in it.
Speaker 2: You make one choice.
Speaker 3: You turned to page forty seven and it's like one
Speaker 3: paragraph hell, and then you.
Speaker 2: Died, and then dateline called you to know what he
Speaker 2: was like, Keith Morrison is on the other end of
Speaker 2: the line. Did you pick this one? Oh man? Okay?
Speaker 1: Coming up next early voter LA turnout is slow so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but do you know what that means. That means
Speaker 2: November fifth is going to be very busy.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: And I'm a polling place voter too. Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: I love it. It makes me feel like an American.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about what's going on, because.
Speaker 1: As Abraham Lincoln said, a house divided cannot stand. He
Speaker 1: took that from Mark, verse three from the Bible. The
Speaker 1: new part. Thank you for the clarification that Mark was
Speaker 1: in the Bible. Yeah, as opposed to just the book
Speaker 1: called Mark, the one written by I don't know, Tom
Speaker 1: Clancy or something like that.
Speaker 2: Chapter three.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Got a message from Ernest. He says, good morning, Shannon.
Speaker 1: I am a retired parole agent. I started my own
Speaker 1: security company. On my current contract, I patrol the Costco
Speaker 1: parking lot. My job is to keep the transient population
Speaker 1: out of the parking lot.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: There's a large number of crows that are always in
Speaker 1: the parking lot, flying around looking for food. Since I
Speaker 1: listened to the story about them being really smart, I've
Speaker 1: been feeding them leftover pizza that people leave behind in
Speaker 1: the hopes we can become friends and that they can
Speaker 1: help me patrol the property and keep the Costco members safe.
Speaker 1: He says, also, avocado mayonnaise is delicious. See former he's
Speaker 1: a fellow Chico State alumni. Really as well, class of
Speaker 1: two thousand. We were there at the same time.
Speaker 2: That wasn't They still had classes after I left.
Speaker 1: Well after that they had what they had to do
Speaker 1: is they had a silkwood scrub that entire campus.
Speaker 2: Really because of me, Yeah, because of me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The Menendez brothers are now asking specifically Gavin Newsom to
Speaker 3: release them from prison before Thanksgiving. Mark Geragis, according to TMZ,
Speaker 3: is filing documents today to ask Governor Newsom for clemency
Speaker 3: for his clients. A couple a few dozen people actually
Speaker 3: have been killed in catastrophic flooding in Spain. The Prime
Speaker 3: minister there in Spain is deploying soldiers to some of
Speaker 3: these regions in warning residents that there could be more
Speaker 3: flooding and more danger. Rescuers are trying to find survivors
Speaker 3: and bodies in the mud in areas like Malaga and Valencia, Spain.
Speaker 1: Fewer La County voters are turning in early ballots compared
Speaker 1: to the last presidential race. The officials here say that
Speaker 1: they are stepping up security members to prevent voter tampering
Speaker 1: or intimidation. It says there have been no credible threats
Speaker 1: here in La County to polling locations or workers. Of course,
Speaker 1: those ballot boxes were burned in Portland, Ogre, Oregon, in Vancouver, Washington,
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, I could see I could profile
Speaker 1: them perfectly as far left progressive people there. And it
Speaker 1: turns out that they left notes saying free Gaza, free Palestine.
Speaker 2: All that stuff, and the twenty year old Volvo right.
Speaker 1: That was a sign, a telltale sign.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: So as of yesterday, about nine hundred thousand early ballots
Speaker 3: had been cast in La County. The assistant Registrar, Monica Flores,
Speaker 3: said that that rate is about thirty to forty percent
Speaker 3: of the previous presidential election. Now, remember four years ago
Speaker 3: we were dealing with COVID, so a lot of people
Speaker 3: voted early through mail in simply because they didn't want
Speaker 3: to stand in line with a bunch of people for
Speaker 3: fear that they were going to die. And it turns out,
Speaker 3: she says, it could be low turnout in general. I
Speaker 3: don't know why she thinks that she said. It could
Speaker 3: be that more people will be voting in person, or
Speaker 3: it could be that folks are just waiting to vote
Speaker 3: later on in the election period, waiting to vote on
Speaker 3: election day. One hundred and twenty two early voting centers
Speaker 3: around La County have been opened since Saturday, and as
Speaker 3: of Monday night, about forty seven thousand people had done
Speaker 3: the early in person voting. But all of this comes
Speaker 3: down to what happens on Tuesday night, and whether it's
Speaker 3: in La County or Maricopa County, Arizona, or wherever. Everybody's
Speaker 3: got their own procedures on how to do this. That's
Speaker 3: why the federal government leaves it up to the states
Speaker 3: to run these elections. And that's why each state does
Speaker 3: it differently. It's why some places actually do it hand counting,
Speaker 3: some places do it simply through machine counting, and some people.
Speaker 3: Some places allow early counting of the votes without having
Speaker 3: the tally released. Some say you can't count one ballot
Speaker 3: until the polls close on Tuesday night. And that's why
Speaker 3: we get all of the discrepancies in terms of which
Speaker 3: states report, when they report, and how complete. Their reporting
Speaker 3: is in La County specifically, they've already prepared this big
Speaker 3: counting era that they're going to be. The tally will
Speaker 3: begin on election day about eight hundred workers at this
Speaker 3: vote center in the city of Industry, where sheriff's deputies
Speaker 3: will be dropping off the collected ballots to this one place.
Speaker 3: They've already been these eight hundred workers logging the mail
Speaker 3: in ballots, verifying signatures. Rows of workers will inspect the
Speaker 3: envelopes for any damage or any oddities hanging chads before
Speaker 3: they wind their way down this process that includes account
Speaker 3: of the ballots, not checking, simply counting them so that
Speaker 3: they compare that count to the final vote count. Signature check.
