WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.080 These protests, but last night was only a one torch 5 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.240 car night as opposed to a five torch car. 6 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.839 Night from Sunday, So maybe it's getting better. 7 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.519 Although the number of arrests was up last night compared 8 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.079 to the night before, this is. 9 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.760 So small compared to other protests that we have covered. 10 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:26.519 In Los Angeles. 11 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:34.799 This is such pageantry for all of the nation to see, 12 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.759 and that is exactly what it is. More deployment of 13 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.799 National Guard members and Marines get a cost, by the way, 14 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.960 one hundred and thirty four million dollars the Defense Department 15 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.600 came out with today, one hundred and thirty four million dollars. 16 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.600 I think where that could go. Well, we could play 17 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.600 that game all day, couldn't we. But this is something 18 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.640 that the LAPD and the Sheriff's Department and the CHP 19 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.479 know how to handle, and it's nowhere near what they 20 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:00.679 have handled in the past. 21 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.799 There's what The one thing that I think is different 22 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.840 this time is that it's ongoing. 23 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.159 It's been four nights now they're looking for a fifth. 24 00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:11.879 It's but what's been ongoing a group of a couple 25 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.000 dozen people that come on. 26 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.239 What I don't understand is they're they're totally playing into 27 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.200 if if Trump says the l A p D can't 28 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.959 handle it or the Sheriff's Department of c HP they 29 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:25.319 can't handle it. So we're going to send in the 30 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.799 federal troops to to take care of the rioters and 31 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.120 the looters, and then people come out and riot and loot. 32 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.840 What is what's the end game for those people? But 33 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.760 what's the endgame for somebody who shows up not at 34 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.640 noon at Grand Park to uh. 35 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.319 I can't control the people. I can't control the agitators. 36 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.560 I can't control the people that that. I can't control anybody. 37 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.599 But I I don't want to worry about those people 38 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.680 because they're not the adults in the room. The adults 39 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.640 in the room should know better. I mean, this is 40 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.840 leave the leave the person personalities and the politics aside. 41 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.400 This is a big deal to send in the National 42 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.680 Guard without a governor's okay, leave aside, it's Gavin Newsom, 43 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.840 leave aside, it's Trump. Sixty years, this hasn't happened. It's 44 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.599 not normal. It is for the political pageantry of it 45 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.520 all on both sides. And the last time the National 46 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.439 Guard was called in and the Marines were called in 47 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.479 were the riots of nineteen ninety two. Widespread, wide spread 48 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.120 city on fire, sixty three people killed. 49 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.360 That assaults ourson. We don't need to relive that. 50 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.520 You've all seen the documentaries if you weren't here for it. 51 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.080 It was a city wide mess, and it wasn't just 52 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:46.439 two blocks downtown, it was everywhere. Now, there was another 53 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.120 occasion I read about this morning. In nineteen ninety two 54 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.360 LAPD officers and the Marines were called to respond to 55 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.159 a domestic disturbance at a local home. It's not just 56 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.840 the pageantry that I'm worried about. It's the fact that 57 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.919 these are two different entities, agencies trained differently, different protocols. 58 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.199 When you have multiple agencies together, problems happen. There's a 59 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.319 reason why there is a big dog and pony show 60 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.360 at every press conference where all the agencies congratulate each other. 61 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.599 When they actually work well together, it's rare. They weren't 62 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.120 even on the. 63 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.520 Same radio frequencies, and that was on display on nine 64 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.479 to eleven. So I just really quick what happened in 65 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.039 nineteen ninety two, when the LAPD officers and the Marines 66 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.919 were called to that disturbance at a local home. When 67 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.080 they arrived, a shotgun was fired out the front door, 68 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.439 and a police officer yelled cover me. To the police, 69 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.879 that means prepare to shoot if necessary, but to hold 70 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:48.080 your fire. For Marines mean cover me means open fire, 71 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.639 use firepower. The Marines shot more than two hundred bullets 72 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.360 instantly as a response to that command, and three children 73 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.520 were killed inside. And then they left and they haven't 74 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.240 been back since. 75 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.719 Chief McDonald did make a point about that last night 76 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.520 in the news conference of adding a federal layer to this, 77 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.879 on top of the LAPD and the Sheriff's department in 78 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.159 the HP only makes it more confused. 79 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.240 The introduction of a federal military personnel without direct coordination 80 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.079 creates logistical challenges and risks confusion during critical incidents. 81 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.879 Because I mean exactly to your point that this unit 82 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.480 of the Marine Corps that's supposedly on its way or 83 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.800 here in LA I haven't seen any images I have here, 84 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:29.360 but it. 85 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.040 Just crossed the wire. 86 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.240 A military convoy stopped on the ninety one at Weir 87 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.079 Canyon Road. Unclear if this is what the Marines might 88 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.439 be them. 89 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.600 So this second Battalion, seventh Marines are supposed to come 90 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.199 in and support the National Guard units that are already 91 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.000 here and have been placed under federal command, and their 92 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.680 job to protect federal personnel and buildings. They are not 93 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:57.360 unless something goes really wrong. They're not standing shoulder to 94 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:02.040 shoulder with LAPD on a a skirmish line, pushing people 95 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.120 back across Alameda Street or anything like that. They're there 96 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.959 to protect the federal buildings, whether it's over in Westwood 97 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.319 or right downtown at the roy Ball Building. 98 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.240 That's what their job is. 99 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:17.839 And there the Pentagon has to specifically spell out what 100 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.879 their orders are. And along those lines, the Marine Corps, 101 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.079 who is world renowned for killing bad guys and breaking stuff, 102 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.360 that's what they do. 103 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.680 Their job is to protect stuff right now, So. 104 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.079 There are literal cards that are going to be handed 105 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.199 out to these Marines that explains to them what their 106 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.319 orders are while they're here in Los Angeles. 107 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.480 I'm for I. 108 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.240 Said yesterday that I never thought it was going to 109 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.360 come to this, that I never thought we would see 110 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.639 US Marines boots on the ground in downtown line. 111 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.439 I don't think that President Trump understands the gravity of 112 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.759 what that means. I think he likes the idea. I 113 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.839 think he likes the pageantry. It goes back to his 114 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.639 military school days. It's ramping up to his birthday parade 115 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.279 for a seventy ninth birthday next week, where it's gonna 116 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.560 be the Kim Jong Un Show in Washington. I mean, 117 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.120 all of this is very much a show, and he 118 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.240 is a show min Unfortunately, because of the things we've 119 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.000 just laid out, there is the potential for this to 120 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.839 go very wrong. And I'm not talking about the protesters 121 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.639 acting up. I'm talking about there being communication problems between 122 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:35.839 all of these agencies, and the protocols and the way 123 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:36.759 to handle things. 124 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.639 And the precedent that this would set. 125 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.160 And well, yeah, I don't think that this would happen 126 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.160 with another president. 127 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:42.839 I don't. 128 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.279 I don't think they'd be like well Trump said in 129 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.120 the National Guard in the Marines back in twenty twenty five, 130 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:47.920 I don't. 131 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.199 Think it would, you know, I think it's very different. 132 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.399 I think that I don't think there's any precedents being 133 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:57.000 set with this administration in terms of charting new territory 134 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.560 that other people will follow suit on. 135 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.079 Well, there's this. There's a lot going on. We do 136 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.959 expect Mayor Bass to have a news conference. I believe 137 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.000 it about ten o'clock our time, and we're going to listen 138 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:07.959 in live to that. Michael Monks has been covering the 139 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.439 story for KFI News. He'll join us a little later 140 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:11.560 in the show as well. 141 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.279 There's something going on because everyone on Twitter and all 142 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.759 the social media, they're amplifying this. People who have no 143 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.519 idea about Los Angeles. LA is covered in protesters. Okay, 144 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.639 it's a couple dozen people downtown from time to time 145 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.399 in two square blocks whatever. 146 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.000 But there's this other. 147 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.439 Thing going on where everyone's getting all up in arms 148 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.959 about the Mexican flags. 149 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.680 Listen, this is a Los Angeles thing. 150 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.800 It doesn't mean we don't love America. A lot of us, 151 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.199 a lot of people here came from Mexico. That's just 152 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.439 the way it is. And a lot of people here 153 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.800 love Mexico and love the United States, and we have 154 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.040 all made peace with it. It's all copasetic here. But 155 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.839 suddenly on Twitter it's look at these people in their 156 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.839 Mexican flags, and as somebody who is white as the 157 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.439 day is long and did not grow up in last angels, 158 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.959 but it's been here for a couple decades. I take 159 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.040 umbrage to that. It pisses me off. 160 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.920 Well, it's also, I think, to your point, it's not 161 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.480 new exactly, La. It's not new. Welcome to La. This 162 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.560 is what we've done. We show the people saying, oh, the. 163 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.399 Democrats are doing no good. 164 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.600 They're not doing themselves any favors flying the Mexican flags. 165 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.600 Getto come on, you know what else isn't doing any good. Honestly, 166 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.279 when I listened to the John Cobell interview yesterday with 167 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:30.439 Tom Homan, when John says and hands him the freaking 168 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.840 melon sized softball over the plate, Hey, you're not coming 169 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.120 in and resting people's nannies, right, that's not what this 170 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.120 is about.

They're shields over your face. And they 198 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.480 say that I remember what the bionic shield, bionic shield. 199 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:03.840 Thank you. 200 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.399 Therefore, autobody shops, if you're working for metals and sparks 201 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.919 and things like that, that's to protect your face. The 202 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.120 very simple question is who the f is doing that? 203 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.840 Well, their law enforcement shield. Law enforcement wears those from 204 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:17.519 time to time. 205 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.960 Yes, but there are different ballistic and higher end these 206 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.639 were like twenty five thirty five. 207 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.600 Gets set together, two hands that stuff out. 208 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:27.360 Listen. 209 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.000 There's plenty of coverage, there's plenty of opportunity for them 210 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.320 to find who did that, and that I'm not I'm 211 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.919 not sure what law they would break, but I'm sure 212 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.320 there's plenty of them that they could get them for. 213 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.759 And they are stupid enough to drive into a crowd 214 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.480 like that, into a I think it was a Tacoma Toyota, 215 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.120 Tacoma pickup truck and pass that stuff out with their 216 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.159 license plate showing. So you can imagine that they will 217 00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.200 be able to pick up some of those people. 218 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.679 The DA's office Nathan Hawkman says that he and other 219 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.960 prosecutors are going to be going through social media video 220 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.879 to find violent protesters to bring them to justice. There's 221 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.080 been a lot of call for people not to wear 222 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:11.399 masks protesting that it's illegal, and we saw a lot 223 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.960 of that even before COVID. Think about the May Day 224 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.360 protests of years prior, where people use bandanas as masks 225 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:20.240 and things like that. I would totally put a mask 226 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.519 on if I was protesting because of the effective tear 227 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.679 gas or anything else they're going to shoot out, Like 228 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.080 I can understand it's frustrating, but I can understand why 229 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.759 you would want to have a mask in the event 230 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.000 if something like that happened. 231 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.000 But outside of a gas mask, a little surgical mask 232 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.080 or a little bandana is not going to prevent the symptom, not. 233 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:43.519 Going to invent. 234 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.080 It's a psychosomatic thing. 235 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.320 If I'm not breathing it in, I think that it's 236 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:49.320 I'm faring better. 237 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.879 Last night, multiple people arrested after break ins at several 238 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.480 stores downtown, the Adida Store, there was an Apple store 239 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.639 that was looted, the Shoe Palace, a CVS. 240 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.039 And a marijuana to just Rea Pharmacy jewelry store. 241 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:04.879 It just like politicians will let no crisis, not that 242 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:09.159 this is a crisis, but will let no issue go unused. 243 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.840 Criminals will let no crisis go unused as well. Where 244 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.279 there's going to be protesters, always going to be looting, 245 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.519 and the looters have nothing to do with the messaging. 246 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:25.120 Usually usually, but we've seen it in every protest, especially 247 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.360 up in Portland and during the George Floyd protests. Remember 248 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:34.960 that that looting was extensive, and I listen. 249 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:35.879 I said it yesterday. 250 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.960 This is one of the things that Trump campaigned on 251 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.919 was He's not going to allow our cities to turn 252 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.399 into what Portland became in the summer of twenty twenty, 253 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.080 which was consistent night after night, it went on for 254 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.440 weeks in a couple of months, the ongoing clashes between 255 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.200 at the time there were you know, they're protecting the 256 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:57.480 federal building in Portland. 257 00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.279 Well, and that's the conversation to have, right It's like, 258 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.480 on one hand, it is this is overkill. There's no 259 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.639 way we need the National Guard, let alone the Marines 260 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:08.080 coming in. 261 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:08.919 We've got this. 262 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.600 But on the other hand, if you're going to have 263 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.399 the whole conversation, it's, well, he doesn't want it to 264 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.240 get to the level where you do need the National Guard. 265 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.080 You see a smaller issue, you want to squash it 266 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.399 right away so it doesn't become a bigger issue. I 267 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.159 understand that if you want to have a zero tolerance 268 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:32.120 policy for any sort of protesting in America, that's another part. 269 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.159 Of the conversation to have. 270 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.240 If you have a zero tolerance policy for anybody in 271 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.519 the streets, even when things go a little bit awry in. 272 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:41.399 The scope of things. 273 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.759 Things went awry, but it was only a little bit 274 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.399 in the grand scheme of protests in Los Angeles. 275 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.000 Yeah, and we were talking yesterday about there's got to 276 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:52.519 be a hard line. One thing happens, whatever that is, 277 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.919 a car has torched, a window is broken, a water 278 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.759 bottle is lobbed at the police officer or something that 279 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:00.679 one line is. 280 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.080 Crossed, but everybody gets cleared off the street. Thing is 281 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.480 is we're built on doing that kind of stuff. The 282 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.679 whole country's built on that. On what what do you 283 00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.360 mean I'm protesting. 284 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.080 Yeah, but not not assaulting officers. That's what I'm saying. 285 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.840 Is that's a line. 286 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.200 That's a line, right, that's a broken window, setting a fire. 287 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.759 Go back to the freaking tea party, you know what 288 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.840 I mean? Like all of this with you start assaulting officers. Yes, 289 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.759 it gets violent, even between officers and protesters, Yes, but 290 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.879 the line cannot be something that comes with a protest 291 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:36.600 when it comes to a broken window. 292 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.919 Well, that's where I think this has to be established 293 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.360 clearly from the beginning. 294 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:43.720 There should be an acknowledgment. 295 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.480 Everybody should know that if you do the thing, whatever 296 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.759 that thing is, it's over and everybody's going to be 297 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.759 cleared off the streets of LA. There are questions about, 298 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.759 by the way, what the Marine Corps is going to do, 299 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.759 how it what it can do. 300 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.320 We'll talk that. 301 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.320 Pete Heggsuff was actually on Capitol Hill today answering questions 302 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.559 from Congress about some of this. 303 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:06.919 So that's coming up. 304 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:11.519 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 305 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.679 AM six forty. 306 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.840 A lot going on on this Tuesday, June tenth. President 307 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.159 Trump is actually speaking from the Oval Office right now. 308 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.759 He was there with some Cabinet members and they were 309 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.080 discussing wildfires as we get into the warmer season around 310 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.600 the country. Of course, there were questions about the authorization 311 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.960 of the more National Guard and the Marines that are 312 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:36.240 coming to California are coming to Los Angeles specifically. 313 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.799 When I see people the kind of people that I 314 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.279 saw on your network doing danger to the police and 315 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.639 to the military and to the National Guard. Now it's okay, 316 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.320 you know, you running out of people when you have 317 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.600 two thousand people. From this National Guard standpoint, we have 318 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.200 a very big military, but the National Guard they needed 319 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.600 a little extra help, and we said to them, and 320 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.960 we did a great job. Last night. 321 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.080 We had well a lot of. 322 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.440 Cars go up in smoke and plant and a lot 323 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.960 of bad scenes, but it was pretty minor by comparison. 324 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.440 This morning, it's very calm. 325 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.720 We'll see what happens later, but they know if they 326 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.440 go there, they're not going to get anywhere because we 327 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:19.399 have the national that we backed it up with a 328 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.399 number of Marinesia. 329 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:25.879 The one thing about the oversaturation of amateur citizen reporters 330 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.240 and things is nothing goes unnoticed. There used to be 331 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.039 protests or really anything that reached national news where you 332 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.840 didn't really get the whole story.
