Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Sean Diddy Combe's federal case out of Manhattan and the
Speaker 2: defense is now cross examining the star witness in this case,
Speaker 2: Cassie Ventura, one of the ex girlfriends, the one who
Speaker 2: was said that she in a relationship with ten years
Speaker 2: with this guy and was.
Speaker 3: Subjected to.
Speaker 2: Sex parties they called him freak offs, that she didn't
Speaker 2: want it to be involved with, but she was afraid
Speaker 2: that if she didn't, that Sean Combs would then not
Speaker 2: just tort her career.
Speaker 3: But that he was physically abusive as well.
Speaker 1: Aubry O'Dea is set to testify as well from Danity Kine.
Speaker 3: Remember that group did he founded?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: Twenty plus years ago? Man?
Speaker 1: That was a fun reality show. I like Danity Kane.
Speaker 1: A couple of hits, A couple hits. I still like
Speaker 1: just a couple of But anyway, big day at the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court for Trump's executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.
Speaker 3: The justices have essentially been like.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but he may get a victory when
Speaker 1: it comes to lower courts challenging his other executive orders.
Speaker 3: It's where we kick off swamp watch. Surprise. I'm a politician,
Speaker 3: which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when
Speaker 3: I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 5: are done.
Speaker 3: The other side never quits.
Speaker 2: So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 3: So that now you drain the swat, I can imagine
Speaker 3: what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 6: You know, Americans have always been gone at president, but
Speaker 6: they're not stupid.
Speaker 2: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Why have that people voted for you? With not swamp Watch,
Speaker 3: They're all.
Speaker 1: Candidled the way that political wrote it up. They said
Speaker 1: that his executive order to end birthright citizenship citizenship found
Speaker 1: no traction at the Supreme Court, but that the justices
Speaker 1: and these oral arguments do sound inclined rain in the
Speaker 1: legal remedy that judges have used to stop many of
Speaker 1: Trump's other executive orders. His early policy moves from restricting
Speaker 1: immigration to cutting federal spending to ending anti diversity initiatives.
Speaker 1: Three district judges have deployed that tool legally, it's known
Speaker 1: as a nationwide injunction to block Trump from implementing his
Speaker 1: birthright citizenship order. There were more than two hours of
Speaker 1: oral arguments. None of the justices spoke in defense of
Speaker 1: that order's legality. Several suggested that the order is almost
Speaker 1: surely unconstitutional. We're talking about the birthright Citizenship Order now
Speaker 1: very frigid reception from the Supreme Court when it comes
Speaker 1: to Trump's executive order, saying no more.
Speaker 2: I'd be curious how the Trump administration would paint this
Speaker 2: because it would clearly be a loss for them on
Speaker 2: the birthright citizens.
Speaker 3: You thought it was going to be a loss.
Speaker 2: But they would counter to win because they would be
Speaker 2: able to at least count the victory in limiting where
Speaker 2: these federal judges can institute their injunctions exactly.
Speaker 1: This is what the justices do seem inclined to do.
Speaker 1: Devise a way to prevent or limit district judges from
Speaker 1: issuing nationwide injunctions. And that was kind of the crux
Speaker 1: of the question before the Supreme Court. Do these district
Speaker 1: judges have jurisdiction when it comes to nationwide injunctions? And
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's like, absolutely not. That's our job, y'all.
Speaker 3: So that is exactly what they're probably going to do.
Speaker 1: Limit the scope of what district judges can say poop
Speaker 1: or can pooh pooh when it comes to federal policies.
Speaker 3: You don't get to have that fight.
Speaker 2: There's ninety four districts, there are thirteen appeals districts in
Speaker 2: the United States, and they're saying that the judges that
Speaker 2: are below both of those. As of right now, the
Speaker 2: Trump administration is the judges that are below both of
Speaker 2: those should not have the ability to issue nationwide in junctions.
Speaker 1: Now, they did decide, and this makes sense as well,
Speaker 1: that judges could or should focus on granting remedies that
Speaker 1: apply to the particular individual or group that sues that
Speaker 1: comes to their particular courtroom. Well, how do you fix
Speaker 1: that person's situation with regard to this federal policy, as
Speaker 1: opposed to having jurisdiction over the entire country based on
Speaker 1: this one person's fight.
Speaker 2: So, and what's interesting about that aspect of it is
Speaker 2: that these lawsuits that they're talking about that have risen
Speaker 2: now to this level and raised this question, there are
Speaker 2: individual plaintiffs, individual people and twenty two separate states that
Speaker 2: have sued in this case. So if the justices even
Speaker 2: find that the states can have a legal standing to sue,
Speaker 2: can they prove that they the state has been harmed
Speaker 2: in some way by this executive order? Now, even if
Speaker 2: they do find that the individual plaintiffs and the states
Speaker 2: have standing, the policy would only take effect in the
Speaker 2: twenty eight states that did not sue, aside from any
Speaker 2: plaintiffs that would be living in those states, obviously, So
Speaker 2: it's kind of a convoluted in the weeds kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Everybody's using that big headline of the challenge over birthright citizenship,
Speaker 2: but based on the line of questioning from the Court
Speaker 2: justices today, that's not in question for that right.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So Russia and Ukraine said to hold their first direct
Speaker 1: peace talks in three years, but Putin did not show up.
Speaker 1: There was supposed to be a face to face in Turkey.
Speaker 1: Apparently few thought that Putin would show up. That the
Speaker 1: people that are representing Moscow at this meeting do this
Speaker 1: does not include anyone who actually makes decisions, and that
Speaker 1: Putin was not going to give Zelenski an audience.
Speaker 2: Trump said as much today. He wasn't surprised that Putin
Speaker 2: didn't want to show up.
Speaker 3: Kid, Why would he.
Speaker 7: Go if I'm not going, because I wasn't going to go.
Speaker 7: I wasn't planning to you, I would go, but I
Speaker 7: wasn't planning to go. And I said, I don't think
Speaker 7: he's going to go if I don't go, And that's
Speaker 7: turned out to be right.
Speaker 2: One of the other big issues, of course, is the
Speaker 2: ongoing discussion about what's going to happen with Iran. President
Speaker 2: Trump had said that one of the things he wants
Speaker 2: to see is a productive relationship with Iran, not necessarily
Speaker 2: the normalization of relations that he wants to do with Syria,
Speaker 2: but he wants to bring Iran to the table to
Speaker 2: get some sort of a deal to prevent them from
Speaker 2: getting a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 5: It's very simple. It's not like I have to give
Speaker 5: you thirty pages worth of details. There's only one sentence.
Speaker 5: They can't have a nuclear weapon. And I think we're
Speaker 5: getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to
Speaker 5: do there's two steps. Is a very very nice step,
Speaker 5: and there's a violent step, the violence like people haven't
Speaker 5: seen before. And I hope we're not going to.
Speaker 3: Have to do this it's like he's keeping violent secrets.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hey, stop shopping around our book title. I
Speaker 1: want to make sure everyone's sitting down for this. But
Speaker 1: we've got a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee
Speaker 1: who is giving.
Speaker 3: Trump around of applause.
Speaker 1: A Democrat, really Representative Jim Himes, has become a cheerleader
Speaker 1: for Trump's foreign policy.
Speaker 3: Here's the quote.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the habit of praising Donald Trump, but
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, in the last week or so,
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, Ukraine, Russia, it's a different story.
Speaker 3: He said that last week.
Speaker 1: Israel was hell bent on going to war with Iran,
Speaker 1: implying that Trump helped avert that. He lauded Trump's decision
Speaker 1: to meet with serious new president. He said, I got
Speaker 1: to tell you, I think the President has in this
Speaker 1: last week or so, played the Middle East pretty darn well.
Speaker 3: Wow. So there's one. There's one. Hey, Gary Shannon, High
Speaker 3: Desert Mike. Hey, Mike, I just wanted you guys to
Speaker 3: help me out. Wish my son a happy fourteenth birthday.
Speaker 3: Oh it's a big time. You're going to go to
Speaker 3: his first concert, going to see Metallica. Yeah, super excited. Yes,
Speaker 3: happy birthday. Evince love you, Oh my God. For the
Speaker 3: rest of the show. For the rest of the show,
Speaker 3: we're only doing Metallica.

Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she signed off on it, did she? I
Speaker 1: don't know, We don't know, but cheers to that. My
Speaker 1: parents would have never let me go see Metallica.
Speaker 3: Not at fourteen.

Speaker 2: we'll do it again quick note. President Trump took to
Speaker 2: truth Social Today to talk about that birthright citizenship case,
Speaker 2: and he wrote, big case today in the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: Birthright citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to
Speaker 2: become permanent citizens of the United States of America and
Speaker 2: bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at
Speaker 2: the suckers that we are. The United States of America
Speaker 2: is the only country in the world that does this
Speaker 2: for what reason, and nobody knows.
Speaker 3: It was specifically.
Speaker 2: A response to the issues that were affecting slaves after
Speaker 2: the Civil War. Not saying it was an easy pass
Speaker 2: for the Fourteenth Amendment. It was pretty pretty bitterly fought,
Speaker 2: but it was that that was where it came from.
Speaker 3: Why would you admit you don't know where that came from.
Speaker 2: I don't know why he would say that. We talked
Speaker 2: about this a couple of weeks ago. Do I expect
Speaker 2: this president to be an ex constitutional scholar?
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, basic basic understanding of the Constitution. Don't make
Speaker 1: an argument like that and brag about not and brag
Speaker 1: about not knowing. You know, I'd like I try to
Speaker 1: to not do that when I don't remember specific things.
Speaker 1: What it could be silly things like a TV show
Speaker 1: that was popular before my time, Mash, for example. I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Mash, but I'm certainly not bragging
Speaker 1: about it because I know that it was it was
Speaker 1: very popular at one point. Just because it didn't happen
Speaker 1: in my lifetime or my doesn't mean I shouldn't know.
Speaker 1: I should certainly shouldn't brag about it. And that's just
Speaker 1: a TV show.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: It was either Mark Twain or Abraham Lincoln, and maybe
Speaker 2: neither one of them. It's better to keep your mouth
Speaker 2: closed and let people think you're a fool than to
Speaker 2: open it and remove all doubt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say that pretty much all the time.
Speaker 2: A large swath of the United States is gonna see
Speaker 2: an elevated risk of blackouts this summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who else wants to just sit in the sweat
Speaker 1: in the dark, That's what's going to happen. They say
Speaker 1: that seasonal electricity forecast warns regional power grids from the
Speaker 1: Upper Midwest through South Texas will not have the power
Speaker 1: needed to meet customer needs when we have the high
Speaker 1: temperatures of the summer.
Speaker 2: Right now, the United States is projected to need ten
Speaker 2: gigawatts or jigawatts, depending on which.
Speaker 3: Back to the Future movie, you're watching.
Speaker 2: Ten gigawatts more electricity in the upcoming summer season than
Speaker 2: it did last summer.
Speaker 3: Why is that?
Speaker 1: They say it's increasing at more than double the rate
Speaker 1: it did between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Why why now?
Speaker 2: So they say there's two specific reasons that they can
Speaker 2: point to that are at the top of the list.
Speaker 2: One of them manufacturing plants take a lot more electricity
Speaker 2: than they had in the past, more robotics, more things
Speaker 2: like that, and energy hungry data centers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: The technology arms. The technology is not free. I mean
Speaker 2: the amount of computing power that is going on twenty
Speaker 2: four hours a day.
Speaker 1: Cell phones, apps, all the things that need all the energy.
Speaker 2: So to make it even better, not only we can
Speaker 2: make up some of that with household solar. It's a
Speaker 2: small amount, but we can make up some of that.
Speaker 2: It's taxing the infrastructure that in some cases is decades,
Speaker 2: if not a century old. When it comes to the
Speaker 2: electricity supply here in the United States. Now, energy officials
Speaker 2: are also looking at a giant problem posed by Chinese
Speaker 2: made solar devices. The renewable energy infrastructure that exists. A
Speaker 2: lot of panels come from China, and they're saying that
Speaker 2: they have begun to find unexplained communication equipment found inside
Speaker 2: those energy panels. Specifically, they're talking about the inverters on
Speaker 2: those panels, the power inverters used throughout the world to
Speaker 2: connect a solar panel or a wind turbine or something
Speaker 2: like that to the electricity grid, but that they've also
Speaker 2: been found in batteries, in heat pumps, in electric vehicle chargers.
Speaker 2: The inverters are built to try to allow remote access
Speaker 2: for an update, something like that over the air update
Speaker 2: or maintenance. In some cases, utility companies will install firewalls
Speaker 2: to try to prevent try to prevent direct communication back
Speaker 2: to China. But the problem is China's not saying these
Speaker 2: communication devices or they're not saying what they're for. They're
Speaker 2: not even listed in the product documents that have been
Speaker 2: found in some of the Chinese solar power inverters by
Speaker 2: these US experts whose job it is to strip down
Speaker 2: these equipment pieces and find them find these things hiding. Now,
Speaker 2: this is exactly one of the issues that people are
Speaker 2: talking about when it comes to this free seven forty
Speaker 2: seven that's supposed to be coming from Cotter to the
Speaker 2: US Air Force to be retrofitted as air Force one.
Speaker 3: We don't have.
Speaker 2: We don't have any idea what's in that airplane? And
Speaker 2: I mean down to the studs, what's in that airplane?
Speaker 2: Are there listening devices, are there tracking devices. That's one
Speaker 2: of the things that has sort of gummed up the
Speaker 2: works on that plan is it's not just taking a
Speaker 2: seven forty seven and turning it into an air Force
Speaker 2: one ready plane. It's taking a seven forty seven that
Speaker 2: we don't know where it's been or who has had
Speaker 2: their hands on it, and then putting it in uh
Speaker 2: into position to become an air Force one. That's why
Speaker 2: it's going to take years and hundreds of millions, if
Speaker 2: not a couple billion dollars before it would even be ready.
Speaker 1: Well, and then the maintenance and then the maintenance tens
Speaker 1: of millions dollars dollars a month.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, a missing camper in Fresno County resurfaces
Speaker 1: after being missing in the wilderness for three weeks. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you her story when we come back.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, going to see Metallica. I said that wasn't mom's idea.
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, this is se Von from the High Desert.
Speaker 4: The mom evinced the Metallica ticket.
Speaker 3: Gary, Gary, Gary, I apologize underestimating the power of a mom. Now,
Speaker 3: dare you come on? Dude? Yeah, dude, I I was
Speaker 3: the brains behind the entire thing. Damn right, you worry
Speaker 3: about it. I'd a surprised dad too, but had to
Speaker 3: justify spending the money somehow.
Speaker 4: Thanks for the shout out.
Speaker 3: No, thank you, Mike. Your picker is a good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, taking it easy on me, good job. My mom
Speaker 2: would never have done that for me.
Speaker 3: When I turned fourteen. Yvonne wins.
Speaker 2: Yvonne wins that one definitely, Oh and more egg on
Speaker 2: my face.
Speaker 4: Come on, guys, if I heard you correctly what you read?
Speaker 4: He didn't say. I didn't know where this came from.
Speaker 4: He said, I don't know why we're doing this. Two
Speaker 4: totally different and okay, two totally different meanings.
Speaker 3: Let's not die on this hill. Shout, let's move off
Speaker 3: the hill.
Speaker 2: Well, let me say this, he wrote, I'm reading directly
Speaker 2: here the United States of America is the only country
Speaker 2: in the world that does this for what reason, nobody knows.
Speaker 2: He then goes on farther down and does explain. This
Speaker 2: came out of the Civil War, after the Civil War
Speaker 2: in eighteen sixty five, and it was meant to address
Speaker 2: the issues that were faced by the children of slaves,
Speaker 2: freed slaves. But the reason we do it is because
Speaker 2: it's in our Constitution and has been decided multiple times
Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: That's why we do it. Now.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court could go back and change that, of course,
Speaker 2: but that's why we do it.
Speaker 1: So moving on, moving on, Well, Christopher Gutierrez went to
Speaker 1: go check on his remote camping resort and it was
Speaker 1: a long, snowy winter in the High Sierra, as you know,
Speaker 1: and he was shocked when he checked on his little
Speaker 1: camping spot.
Speaker 3: What did he find there?
Speaker 1: He found a starving hiker holed up inside of one
Speaker 1: of his cabins. Turned out that that starving hiker was
Speaker 1: a woman they've been looking for for three weeks. Twenty
Speaker 1: seven year old Tiffany Slanton from Jefferson, Georgia, had been
Speaker 1: missing in the Fresno County Wilderness.
Speaker 3: For about three weeks.
Speaker 1: Chris made the discovery of Tiffany about two pm yesterday,
Speaker 1: just two days after Fresno County said they'd scaled back
Speaker 1: the search efforts. There's no way this woman could still
Speaker 1: be alive. She would not be alive, she would not
Speaker 1: have food and water, probably eaten by the animals. Chris says,
Speaker 1: she pops out, didn't say a word, just ran up
Speaker 1: to me, and all she wanted was a hug. A
Speaker 1: pretty surreal moment, and that's when I realized who this was.
Speaker 1: He had heard about the missing hiker. Now, the crazy
Speaker 1: thing is that when the word got to her parents
Speaker 1: in Georgia, the first thing her mother said about hearing
Speaker 1: that her daughter was alive is she grabbed somebody at
Speaker 1: her workplace and said, I need a hug, the same
Speaker 1: thing her daughter did.
Speaker 3: Isn't that fascinating thing. Now, we don't know how she.
Speaker 1: Survived, because we're all just happy she's alive after three weeks.
Speaker 1: But we haven't heard the you know, I soaked my
Speaker 1: sweatshirt and rain water and drank from it as I
Speaker 1: as I twisted it for three weeks. You know, we
Speaker 1: haven't heard those stories that we hear when somebody's found
Speaker 1: in their car after a week and how they survived. Oh,
Speaker 1: I had a protein bar in my console that I
Speaker 1: ate for a week. By the way, I put protein
Speaker 1: bars in my console. After that story, we did a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago about that woman surviving off a
Speaker 1: protein bar.
Speaker 2: The Sheriff's department is talking to her to try to
Speaker 2: figure out how exactly that she was able to live
Speaker 2: like this. But there's a couple There's two very important
Speaker 2: aspects of the story. Number one is her parents said
Speaker 2: they raised their kids with the love of the wilderness
Speaker 2: and always talked about the importance of being able to
Speaker 2: take take care of yourself, how to fend for yourself,
Speaker 2: whether whatever experience that might have been. The mom said,
Speaker 2: we believe that life is an adventure. Ever since the
Speaker 2: kids were younger. Is something that we focused on is
Speaker 2: how to survive if this happened, or how to survive
Speaker 2: if that happened. So it's nice to know his parents
Speaker 2: that all the things we taught her she actually did.
Speaker 2: That's one aspect. The second thing is Chris Gutierrez, the
Speaker 2: guy who is in charge of that Vermilion Valley resort,
Speaker 2: which looks incredible. By the way, if you're into that
Speaker 2: kind of backwoods life. He left one of the cabins
Speaker 2: unlocked because he knew there was a possibility that in
Speaker 2: the wintertime, someone stumbles upon a place and you find
Speaker 2: these cabins in the middle of nowhere. This would greatly
Speaker 2: improve your chance at survival if you had some amount
Speaker 2: of shelter.
Speaker 1: Chris says he gave her as many peanut butter and
Speaker 1: jelly sandwiches as she could stomach. There's nothing like a
Speaker 1: good peanut, even a crap peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Speaker 1: after being out in the wilderness. Your parents raise you
Speaker 1: to live off the land if you had to. No,
Speaker 1: they raised me not to complain about stuff. My parents
Speaker 1: raised me not to leave the house. I think my
Speaker 1: dad would have survived in the wilderness for about thirty
Speaker 1: five minutes before he used to come.
Speaker 3: No, Uh, yeah you think so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd be like, where's the TV.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's not a game on, I'll die. Uh.
Speaker 2: If you are interested in this play, this is an
Speaker 2: amazing looking Vermilion Valley resort, It says, legendary wilderness hospitality.
Speaker 2: It is in the midst of nothing, and I think
Speaker 2: they deserve a little bit of a shout out. You
Speaker 2: can go to VVR Vermilion Valley Ranch VVR dot place.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a dot Vermilion Valley resort.
Speaker 1: Well, from a tale of people who respect the land
Speaker 1: and respect people who love the land, comes a story
Speaker 1: about four British men who are dumbasses and do not
Speaker 1: They have a plan to scale Everest in one week.
Speaker 3: I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well for those guys.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, this is a this is a
Speaker 2: bad script pitch right it is?
Speaker 3: It feels like we've done this before.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers take on the a's first pitch at seven tonight.

Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Live everywhere on the iHeart.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to have memorized a poem to recite
Speaker 1: the class, and I did not.
Speaker 3: I this may shock you. You didn't do your homework.
Speaker 3: I didn't do I wasn't great at remembering that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 1: So I got up there missus Lamb at the time
Speaker 1: was about eighty three, and I got up there and
Speaker 1: I said, so close, no matter how far, couldn't be
Speaker 1: much more from the heart, forever, trustin who you are
Speaker 1: and nothing else matters. She thought it was beautiful. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm sure she did, I said by James Hetfield.
Speaker 3: And she still said, well, that's a point.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of him. Seems n He seems like
Speaker 1: a nice guy. I like his connection to the heart.
Speaker 8: Anyway, Hey, gang, Back in nineteen seventy seven, I was
Speaker 8: in the ninth grade and my mom took me to
Speaker 8: go see the Chiechan Shawn movie Up and Smoke, Yeah,
Speaker 8: whichever version that was out that year.
Speaker 3: I think that's right. She thought it was comedy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well it was when we were It was an introduction
Speaker 3: gateway movie.
Speaker 1: Is the house burning? Is finally burning down? Please tell
Speaker 1: me someone set the building on fire?
Speaker 3: What does that say?
Speaker 1: False alarm? Bunch of sissies. Wow, well, it'd be nice
Speaker 1: if someone set the place on fire.
Speaker 2: Why are you hackling the fire department to tell us
Speaker 2: that it was a false alarm?
Speaker 3: I think they're doing their job. I'm not mad at
Speaker 3: the fire department.
Speaker 1: I'm mad at the people who work here and have
Speaker 1: yet to set the place on fire.
Speaker 3: And he's asking for it. It's been asking for it
Speaker 3: for a long time.
Speaker 2: Breaking news in Denver. Apparently they are the latest airport
Speaker 2: to lose contact with the with pilots.
Speaker 1: Denver Airport is a disaster anyway, for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 3: But that is a big effing deal.
Speaker 2: If Denver has lost I don't know why this is
Speaker 2: breaking now.
Speaker 3: They say it happened on Monday.
Speaker 2: It's the loss of communication for approximately ninety seconds at
Speaker 2: about one fifty local time Monday, after both transmitters that
Speaker 2: cover a segment of airspace went down. As many as
Speaker 2: twenty of the pilots that were headed to Denver were
Speaker 2: unable to speak with air traffic control. The FAA said
Speaker 2: the controllers used another frequency to relay instructions to pilots.
Speaker 2: Aircraft remained safely.
Speaker 3: So it looks like it lasted about six minutes.
Speaker 2: Did you say that it said this one says the
Speaker 2: outage was ninety seconds.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that it.
Speaker 1: Says it caused us five to six minute communication blackout there.
Speaker 3: It's great, all right.
Speaker 1: So four British men are hopping on a plane tomorrow
Speaker 1: in London. They are going to fly the roughly forty
Speaker 1: six hundred miles to Catman, do a nepall, board a
Speaker 1: helicopter to base camp for Mount Everest. From there they
Speaker 1: will climb to an altitude of more than twenty nine
Speaker 1: thousand feet to the top of the world. They are
Speaker 1: military veterans and they hope to complete the trip door
Speaker 1: to door in a wrecord seven days. Despite this goal
Speaker 1: of this record breaking time constriction, they are using a
Speaker 1: gas that scientists believe could boost red blood cell production
Speaker 1: and help speed altitude.
Speaker 3: A climatization acclimatization. I think it's maybe a pronunciator, that's
Speaker 3: it's shot in the dark. I don't know if I
Speaker 3: think you've freaking nailed it.
Speaker 2: Okay, but xenon gas can we go back to the
Speaker 2: part where you said some scientists believe it could boost
Speaker 2: red blood cell.
Speaker 3: The others say it I'll kill you. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: I want a lot of scientists to say we've proven
Speaker 2: that it helps speed altitude acclimatization.
Speaker 1: But there's got to be a placebo effect going on there.
Speaker 1: If you think you've got the special gas and that
Speaker 1: it is boosting your red blood cells, that's going to
Speaker 1: work a lot for you in.
Speaker 3: Your Dumbo's magic feather totally.
Speaker 2: Now, usually a trip like this up to the top
Speaker 2: of Everest requires at least at least a week and
Speaker 2: sometimes a few weeks of altitude just to get acclimate
Speaker 2: a climatization.
Speaker 3: Say that better you do that word.
Speaker 1: Acclimate is a better word. Act that is a stupid word.
Speaker 2: Before climbers can attempt a trek that gets more and
Speaker 2: more dangerous the further and further you go above two
Speaker 2: above twenty six thousand feet, there is not sufficient oxygen
Speaker 2: to sustain life life, not.
Speaker 3: Just a human human.
Speaker 2: You're exerting so much energy this is if you were
Speaker 2: sitting in a lawn chair, you couldn't sit at that altitude. Yeah,
Speaker 2: harsh conditions, you become hypoxic. Brain function is impaired. To
Speaker 2: push past all of this, these guys say they have
Speaker 2: been training for their mission for months. They are doing
Speaker 2: it as a fundraising event for fellow veterans, which is great.
Speaker 3: I love that idea.
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure that the they wanted to end
Speaker 2: the way that it very well could.
Speaker 1: To your question about the what is it xenon gas?
Speaker 1: According to the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation, they say,
Speaker 1: according to current literature, there is no evidence that breathing
Speaker 1: in xenon improves performance in the mountains, and inappropriate use
Speaker 1: can be dangerous. Made the joke, but it's true. Although
Speaker 1: a single inhalation of xenon can measurably increase the release
Speaker 1: of a word, I'm not going to attempt, this increase
Speaker 1: is not sustained over four weeks use, nor is associated
Speaker 1: with any changes in red blood cells. According to the literature,
Speaker 1: the effects on performance are unclear and probably non existent.
Speaker 1: Alan Arnett is a climber who's been on thirty eight
Speaker 1: major expeditions and peres definitive daily coverage of Everest and
Speaker 1: mountain climbing on his blog. He is watching closely. He says,
Speaker 1: mountaineering is really about suffering. I just can't see flying
Speaker 1: over helicopter again, going to the summit and then rushing
Speaker 1: down so you can go back to work. And I
Speaker 1: have all the respect in the world for these people,
Speaker 1: but I'm not a fan. Here's the problem that I
Speaker 1: have with it. If they do this and apparently, you know,
Speaker 1: they must have just boatloads of money to do this.
Speaker 3: Sure, those are an expensive expeditions.
Speaker 1: Is somebody gonna think, you know, oh, I can do
Speaker 1: that too. I'm twenty six, I'm young, I'm virile. I
Speaker 1: can do this in a week.
Speaker 3: I can beat it by a day or whatever. I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just but you know what, that's Darwinism. If you
Speaker 1: think that, then well, perhaps.
Speaker 3: So they've been preparing for this.
Speaker 2: This is not just a thing where they take a
Speaker 2: couple of hits of zene on and then get on
Speaker 2: a plane. They have been doing this inhaling what is
Speaker 2: described by the originator as sub anesthetic concentration of xenon
Speaker 2: gas mixed with oxygen in a single administration that lasts
Speaker 2: less than an hour. The strongest effect, they said, comes
Speaker 2: somewhere between ten to fourteen days after it was administered,
Speaker 2: which they did back on the fifth of May, and
Speaker 2: the effects last for another ten to fourteen days. So
Speaker 2: they're betting on the administration on May fifth that it's
Speaker 2: going to peak tomorrow, which would be eleven days later,
Speaker 2: and then hopefully the effects last while they're climbing.
Speaker 3: This will be one to watch, that's for sure. I
Speaker 3: have something sad to tell you.
Speaker 1: Remember how you were happy with our Jeopardy questions because
Speaker 1: they were revolved around sports mascots.
Speaker 3: That's over. That's done. Now we're onto slang, which is
Speaker 3: not okay. Is that okay? I didn't know that you
Speaker 3: were a slang connoisseur. Oh yeah, oh yeah, especially when
Speaker 3: it comes to women's sports. Women's sports.
Speaker 1: That's going to be the next Are you excited for
Speaker 1: the w n BA to tip off tonight?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: Clark and Angel Reese are battling it out tonight.
Speaker 3: Yes, they are.
Speaker 2: In the w subsidized NBA.
Speaker 8: O K.
Speaker 1: Trump Constitution. Wait, I don't know, because it's not cool
Speaker 1: to know about the w n B A I Angel,
Speaker 1: you did game. Okay, good against the Indiana.
Speaker 3: I don't know fever. That sounds good.
Speaker 2: And the Angel Reese team known as the I have
Speaker 2: no idea Atlanta.
Speaker 3: She played for Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I don't even look it up, so we do not
Speaker 1: sound completely ignorant. Angel Rees plays for the Indiana. No,
Speaker 1: the Chicago Sky.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 9: I like that Chicago Sky. It's beautiful. They're tough though
Speaker 9: and beautiful. Yeah, and they could be both because they're
Speaker 9: strong empowered women.
Speaker 3: All right, let's can we get out of this? Why
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm here uncomfortable? You're uncomfortable. Hit the thing, Elmer.
