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: This is big news.
Speaker 1: This is the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan.
Speaker 1: This is the first publicly known instance of the Trump
Speaker 1: administration going after a local official for interfering with immigration enforcement.
Speaker 2: This is kind of what people.
Speaker 1: Have been warning about the Trump administration, that they are
Speaker 1: going to use their power to go after different branches,
Speaker 1: different private people. And I mean, you could make the
Speaker 1: case either or if this is a private person who
Speaker 1: is not biding their agenda, not.
Speaker 2: Going along.
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Bettel, if you're keeping track, said yes,
Speaker 1: a bureau has arrested this judge and charged her with
Speaker 1: obstructing an immigration or arrest operation last week. This first announcement,
Speaker 1: by the way, came on X. To your point that
Speaker 1: the President's been using social media to make big announcements
Speaker 1: or announced big reactions to big events that are going
Speaker 1: on globally. This announcement was made on X Initially.
Speaker 3: Listen, it's an acknowledgment that the media landscape is different
Speaker 3: than it was five years ago, ten years ago, but.
Speaker 4: It still doesn't ring.
Speaker 3: It doesn't make me comfortable that that is how our
Speaker 3: federal government has been working. The other story is similar
Speaker 3: to this. ICE agents arrested a former magistrate judge out
Speaker 3: of New Mexico. They are involved in a case. They
Speaker 3: being the judge and his wife. They're involved in a
Speaker 3: case where alleged Venezuelan gang members were staying on their property.
Speaker 3: Two of the three men apparently on the property were
Speaker 3: taken into custody this week, and they had to do
Speaker 3: this search warrant on the former judges property. So they're
Speaker 3: not messing around and any judge or anybody it seems
Speaker 3: that has been harboring what ICE is described as violent criminals,
Speaker 3: They're going.
Speaker 4: To go after them pretty quickly. This is going to
Speaker 4: be a headline throughout the course of the day to day.
Speaker 1: Just to get into the specifics of what's going on
Speaker 1: with the Milwaukee judge. This is according to reporters with
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. ICE agents arrived in the judges
Speaker 1: court room last Friday during a pre trial hearing for
Speaker 1: Eduardo Ruiz, a thirty year old Mexican national who's facing
Speaker 1: misdemeanor battery charges in Wisconsin. The judge asked the agents
Speaker 1: to leave and speak to the circuit Court's chief judge.
Speaker 1: By the time they returned, the guy, the Mexican national,
Speaker 1: had left. So Patel wrote in his post today, we
Speaker 1: believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the
Speaker 1: subject to be arrested in her courthouse to evade arrest.
Speaker 1: That she sent them away so that she could get
Speaker 1: in the way of an Ice arrest.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That is not going to go well. It's not
Speaker 2: going to go well for either side.
Speaker 1: It looks bad that the judge is trying to thwart
Speaker 1: ICE's arrest procedures. And it looks bad that it's the
Speaker 1: Trump administration arresting judges that rule against what he wants.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's bad both ways.
Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff that happens in other
Speaker 1: countries where the government goes in and sorts arresting judges. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and judges subverting any sort of powers that be when
Speaker 1: it comes to the administration's agenda.
Speaker 4: And I don't well, I mean, this is one of
Speaker 4: those things that.
Speaker 3: The way this administration in the first hundred days of
Speaker 3: Trump's second term, the way it's been defined by a
Speaker 3: number of court battles that have gone both ways. To
Speaker 3: be honest, I mean, most recently, there have been several hearing,
Speaker 3: several decisions i should say judicial decisions that have gone
Speaker 3: against the administration. But there are plenty where Trump feels
Speaker 3: completely vindicated their decisions to you know, the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: As the example, when we talk about the guy that
Speaker 3: was arrested in Maryland and sent to this prison in
Speaker 3: El Salvador Abrego Garcia. The lower court had suggested that
Speaker 3: they need to facilitate the you know, repatriation or whatever
Speaker 3: term you want to use of this guy, get him
Speaker 3: out of El Salvador and bring him back to Maryland.
Speaker 3: And then the Supreme Court's decision, which was basically a
Speaker 3: slap on the wrist of the administration suggesting that yeah,
Speaker 3: you do need to do something, but that the lower
Speaker 3: court needs to go back and to define what it
Speaker 3: means to facilitate the return, and the Trump administration using
Speaker 3: it as a victory, taking a victory lap on something
Speaker 3: that really wasn't a victory for them.
Speaker 4: It's this very weird thing.
Speaker 3: It seems like the courts are working the way they're
Speaker 3: supposed to, that the branches of government are doing the
Speaker 3: checks and balances that were originally designed by the Constitution.
Speaker 4: That's the way it's set out. It's just one of those.
Speaker 3: It's the most active checks and balances I think we've
Speaker 3: seen in one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, the NFL Draft kicked off last night. To my goodness,
Speaker 1: everybody's bracket was shattered when Travis Hunter was selected that early.
Speaker 1: That was the guy we talked about that wants to
Speaker 1: play both sides of the ball, wide receiver and cornerback.
Speaker 1: Obviously very talented. But that was a shock. And not
Speaker 1: a shock was Dion Sanders kid dropping out of the
Speaker 1: first round. We talked about the probability of that.
Speaker 2: I think the.
Speaker 1: Anticipation over the draft kind of ends after round one.
Speaker 1: You got to be a real fan to get weedy
Speaker 1: and get into well second round maybe not so weedy,
Speaker 1: but as you get into the weekend.
Speaker 4: If you're still if you're still paying attention late Saturday night.
Speaker 1: What I like to do is on Sunday, look at
Speaker 1: the Chargers and the forty nine ers and look at
Speaker 1: everybody they got, and then start doing my homework and
Speaker 1: seeing and seeing what's what Tonight. The Dodgers are back
Speaker 1: in La. Take on the Pirates first pitch at seven.
Speaker 1: Listen to all the Dodger games on AM five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports Live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth and
Speaker 1: stream all Dodgers games HD on the iHeartRadio app. Keyword
Speaker 1: AM five seventy LA Sports all.
Speaker 3: Skemes against Yoshinobu Yamamoto should be read, Wow, what a great.
Speaker 1: That is a game I will maybe watch.
Speaker 2: I saw something else.
Speaker 1: The reason I brought it up now I'm remembering about
Speaker 1: the NFL draft is Deon Sanders's kid. Did you hear
Speaker 1: about the draft room that he had made or.
Speaker 2: See the pictures? Okay?
Speaker 3: I saw an Instagram video that he said, like after
Speaker 3: all the picks were gone, and he's like, hey, wasn't
Speaker 3: it first tonight? Obviously you know, it's not my plan,
Speaker 3: it's God's plan kind of thing. And in the background
Speaker 3: it looks like there's a full on banquet tent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it had been erected for this thing.
Speaker 2: He had a draft room made with dad's money.
Speaker 4: Of course, of course his.
Speaker 2: Or his Yeah, the hell do I know?
Speaker 1: But screens more than one the size of the entire
Speaker 1: wall across the entire room. It's white with black paint
Speaker 1: and just as legendary everywhere in different fonts. Legendary, legendary,
Speaker 1: and I mean a lot of egg on your face.
Speaker 1: To create a draft room with legendary plastered all over
Speaker 1: it and fall out of the first rounds, that should
Speaker 1: build character and a little hubris.
Speaker 4: No it will not, I know.
Speaker 1: But when I saw that, I was like, and this
Speaker 1: is exactly why you fell out of the first round.
Speaker 1: This room right here, one legendary on the wall is
Speaker 1: the reason you fell out.
Speaker 4: No one around him will tell them.
Speaker 2: Did you see cam Ward?
Speaker 1: Be interviewed cam Ward who went number one in the draft,
Speaker 1: quarterback out of Miami Hurricanes. He was with his parents,
Speaker 1: He had the thinnest of chains on, totally unassuming and
Speaker 1: just thanked God, the most humble kid.
Speaker 2: And you're like, and that is your number one pick?
Speaker 4: Right there?
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty Well's with all the theatrics.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's something that judges and parole boards
Speaker 1: hold in the highest regard, and that is accountability.
Speaker 2: And if you don't show it, you're screwed. You're dear
Speaker 2: to them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a tiny bit.
Speaker 1: Of anything, any bit. And that's exactly what the judge
Speaker 1: said today. George Santos, former US Representative George Santos, who
Speaker 1: lied about his life story he defrauded donors total clown,
Speaker 1: was sentenced to over seven years in prison. Started sobbing
Speaker 1: as he heard his punishment. The district court judge said,
Speaker 1: where's your remorse? Where do I see it? It's always
Speaker 1: someone else's fault. It's so maddening, isn't it. He served
Speaker 1: in Congress for barely a year before everyone in the
Speaker 1: house was like, this guy's a fraud, this guy's a phony.
Speaker 1: Happened in twenty twenty three. He played a guilty last
Speaker 1: summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Speaker 3: The maximum seven years three months in prison, and he
Speaker 3: knew it going into it. He said he probably was
Speaker 3: going to get the maximum. Tomorrow, of course, the funeral
Speaker 3: for the Pope. Will talk at the bottom of the
Speaker 3: hour with Raymond Arroya. We talked to him earlier in
Speaker 3: the week about what's going to happen Over the course
Speaker 3: of the next several hours. President Trump, First Lady Milania
Speaker 3: boarded Air Force one earlier this morning on their way
Speaker 3: to Italy, so they will be at the funeral tomorrow.

Speaker 3: the tariff wars, we have a chance for you to

Speaker 1: President Trump said this week that President Shei Jinping of
Speaker 1: China had called him. He said that his administration is
Speaker 1: talking with China to strike a tariff deal. Beijing says,
Speaker 1: what is she talking about?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: President? Please?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: He did an interview with Time magazine Trump did on
Speaker 1: Tuesday that was just published today. He did not say
Speaker 1: when she called or what the two leaders discussed.
Speaker 2: He said that he would not call.
Speaker 1: She Trump said he's called, and I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a sign of weakness on his behalf. My goodness, true,
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 3: He did answers question about this as he was about
Speaker 3: to board Marine one there at the White House this morning.
Speaker 3: When asked exactly what the talks have entailed, he said,
Speaker 3: he's not going to talk about it. So it's hard
Speaker 3: to pin this guy down on what exactly is happening
Speaker 3: with this. But we did see after this meeting with
Speaker 3: a bunch of CEOs from the targets and the walmarts
Speaker 3: and the home depots. Earlier this week, we saw some
Speaker 3: softening on the president's part when it came to the
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty five percent tariffs and said that
Speaker 3: they will come down. It just he didn't get into
Speaker 3: specifics and he didn't say when.
Speaker 1: So let me read between the lines here. Shijinping did
Speaker 1: not call President Trump. That did not happen. What could
Speaker 1: have happened? That has been going on our ongoing communications
Speaker 1: between people underneath both presidents.
Speaker 3: Right, and we know that there is an entourage of
Speaker 3: Chinese officials including I think their finance minister in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C. So it's very likely that there are some
Speaker 3: of those lower level talks. Before she or Trump picks
Speaker 3: up the phone and calls the other, they're going to
Speaker 3: have what they refer to as the contours of a
Speaker 3: conversation already in place.
Speaker 1: Trump, in this interview with Time magazine, says he has
Speaker 1: made two hundred tariff deals and is expected to finish
Speaker 1: negotiations in about hundred. With two hundred, I'm assuming two
Speaker 1: hundred different countries.
Speaker 3: How many countries are there in the world, two hundred
Speaker 3: and twelve. How many countries are there? There are one
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety five countries. Okay, but we've already got
Speaker 3: two hundred deals that we're working on.
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if all those countries have their own
Speaker 1: universal trade agreements.
Speaker 3: Well, the European Union talks for seventeen members, is it
Speaker 3: something like that not included in the list of the
Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety five countries Taiwan, Well.
Speaker 1: In two hundred tariff deals, it's not just each country
Speaker 1: does a deal overall. It's like I'll make a deal
Speaker 1: with steel out of China and coal out of somebody,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, each country probably has
Speaker 1: a number of things that they export an import from
Speaker 1: the United States, right, so you know, if you just
Speaker 1: look at I mean, China is a bad example. We
Speaker 1: get everything from there because they've got everything. But you know,
Speaker 1: say we get five things from Lithuania. Sure we could
Speaker 1: make five different deals out of Lithuania when it comes
Speaker 1: to tariffs on those five different industries.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's just probably that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, he said two hundred tariff deals and expected
Speaker 1: to finish negotiations in about three or four weeks. We
Speaker 1: have no details on any of the deals that were made,
Speaker 1: no idea about like I was opining about which industries
Speaker 1: are affected or anything of the like.
Speaker 3: The White House Official Press Office has been talking about
Speaker 3: a little more than a dozen, but no more than
Speaker 3: two dozen deals that have been worked out and are
Speaker 3: waiting to be signed.
Speaker 2: All Right.
Speaker 1: The Pope's funeral is tomorrow. It's gonna be a who's who?
Speaker 1: What an event to go to, My goodness, it's like
Speaker 1: the met We'll be talking to our correspondent, Raymond Arroyo.
Speaker 1: He's host of the Arroyo Grande podcast. He interviewed Pope Benedict.
Speaker 1: He's anchored more live papal events than anyone in the industry.
Speaker 2: He's a great resource.
Speaker 1: He is our go to guy when it comes to
Speaker 1: the conclave, which is upon us, and it is not
Speaker 1: without controversy.
Speaker 2: We'll get into it.
Speaker 3: Coming up next, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we will be talking to Raymond Arroyo. He
Speaker 1: has been called in last minute because sometimes you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta call in the pope, the pope correspondent, you know,
Speaker 1: onto the national news, and so Raymond was called in
Speaker 1: right away on Fox. So we'll be hooking up with
Speaker 1: him at about eleven about what's going on with the conclave, because,
Speaker 1: like I said before the break, it is not without controversy.
Speaker 2: There is a lot going on.
Speaker 1: We talked to yesterday about the convicted cardinal that wants in.
Speaker 2: He wants his vote to count.
Speaker 1: And and the fact that the cardinals haven't really been
Speaker 1: hanging out with each other because that wasn't the dead
Speaker 1: Pope's jam was. He did not like to hold house parties,
Speaker 1: so they're kind of figuring each other out.
Speaker 3: Those parties I'm just making it more conversation, and there's
Speaker 3: there's a lot that you know, we've talked earlier in
Speaker 3: the week. We talked about how Pope Francis wanted a
Speaker 3: lower key burial. He didn't live in the usual papal residence.
Speaker 3: He kind of holed up in a pretty spare hotel
Speaker 3: room there at the Vatican. And he's not going to
Speaker 3: be buried in the triple casket like all the other popes.
Speaker 3: He's just doing a simple pine box. But we won't
Speaker 3: see the difference. I mean, all of the pomp and
Speaker 3: circumstance that comes with the burial of a pope. We'll
Speaker 3: still be on display tomorrow.
Speaker 2: You sneeze, Yeah, okay, how did you know?
Speaker 4: Because I could see it in your face.
Speaker 2: Oh look at a light. Not that light look really
Speaker 2: bright during the sun. I'm not still blinded from amy.
Speaker 1: Pre Orders for Nintendo Switch too kicked off after the
Speaker 1: clock struck midnight.
Speaker 2: Ah you guys, chaos.
Speaker 1: It is k os out there, super high demand for
Speaker 1: the Nintendo Switch to a lot of people want Nintendo's
Speaker 1: latest fun console. This is officially going to launch June fifth,
Speaker 1: but this was the pre order line. A lot of
Speaker 1: people ran into frustrating delays, saw listings quickly sell out
Speaker 1: at Target, Walmart, Best Buy in the wee hours of
Speaker 1: the night. Game Stop began accepting pre orders for the
Speaker 1: Switch to Yesterday hours following the late night launches at
Speaker 1: other retail and quickly reported overwhelming demand, like crashing demand
Speaker 1: a Game Stop over the switch.
Speaker 2: Too, Keana, are you a switch to person?
Speaker 4: She is? And did you go on at midnight?
Speaker 2: And I doubt she did? No, I didn't, unfortunately, asked
Speaker 2: Brian if I could, and he said no, Oh, let's
Speaker 2: get him on the horn. That's a good start to
Speaker 2: a marriage right there.
Speaker 3: Setting boundaries. Was he afraid that he was going to
Speaker 3: lose you to that? Like you would stop paying attention.
Speaker 2: She doesn't want the money to be spent.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money, Yeah, the money, Yeah a lot.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Gary, husbands only care about one thing,
Speaker 1: and it's called money.
Speaker 4: That's not true.
Speaker 2: It's not true. That is not true.
Speaker 3: Okay, I could think at least one other thing that
Speaker 3: they think and care about.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, come on, okay, all right.
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the pope. Who's going to
Speaker 3: be there tomorrow right tonight?
Speaker 4: Is the night tonight.
Speaker 3: I think it's about gosh, five o'clock, six o'clock our time.
Speaker 3: Tonight is when they do the official closing of the
Speaker 3: closing of the coffin in preparation for the burial. He's
Speaker 3: not going to be buried in the catacombs of the Assistine.
Speaker 4: Chapel, is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or Saint Peter's Basilica. Where is the pope buried. He's
Speaker 3: not going to be buried with all the other popes.
Speaker 3: I know that that was one of the things.
Speaker 2: But there's some popes buried in avign Young.
Speaker 3: I think, well, there was a time when they were, yeah,
Speaker 3: in the France, weren't they. So Donald Amlaniy Trump, we
Speaker 3: know that the Vice President, we know the President and
Speaker 3: the first Lady will be there.
Speaker 4: They left this morning to head over to Italy.
Speaker 3: Prince William, King Charles's eldest son, is confirmed to be
Speaker 3: at the at the funeral tomorrow. He will be representing
Speaker 3: the king. Of course, the King is has been dealing
Speaker 3: with cancer treatments and stuff, so I don't know if
Speaker 3: it's that, if that's the reason, or if there were
Speaker 3: other scheduling issues. Caro Starmer is the British Prime minister
Speaker 3: representing the uk of course confirmed by a spokesperson that
Speaker 3: he will be there. Vladimir's Lenski. This is the biggest surprise.
Speaker 3: I suppose the Ukrainian president is expected to be there tomorrow.
Speaker 3: They met last in October of last year when Zelenski
Speaker 3: was making a tour through Europe.
Speaker 1: Santa Maria Maggiori is where he will be buried. This
Speaker 1: is an important place from the Pope's youth, really one
Speaker 1: of the four papal basilicas in Rome. He would regularly
Speaker 1: go into Santa Maria Maggiori Saint Mary Major, also called
Speaker 1: It's a fourth century basilica distinctive bell tower. It's perched
Speaker 1: on one of Rome's seven ancient hills. It lies between
Speaker 1: the coliseum and the Termini train station. During the Roman Empire,
Speaker 1: that served it as a burial round for slaves. There
Speaker 1: you go on one visit, the Pope had a close
Speaker 1: encounter with a suspected pickpocket, but that did not sully
Speaker 1: his experience. Pickpocket, Oh yeah, pickpockets are all over Rome.
Speaker 1: It was the first thing that happened to us when
Speaker 1: we got to Rome. It was on the escalator from
Speaker 1: the train station from the airport. Two guys stop the escalator,
Speaker 1: tried to pickpocket us, and then I started talking and
Speaker 1: they ran away. But anyway, this is where he will
Speaker 1: be buried.
Speaker 4: That's your defense making.
Speaker 1: He's the first pope in more than a century not
Speaker 1: to be buried in the grottos beneath Saint Peter's Basilica Peters.
Speaker 3: They do the grotto, that's a nice way to put it.
Speaker 1: Not everybody's as sullied as Los Angeles, and when they
Speaker 1: hear grotto, they think of the freaking Clayboy mansion.
Speaker 2: You sicko.
Speaker 3: The European Union Commission president will be there, the President
Speaker 3: of Argentina, which of course is where Pope Francis was born.
Speaker 3: Javi Amilia will be there. Georgia Maloney, the Italian Prime Minister.
Speaker 3: Probably the shortest trip, but she'll be there as well.
Speaker 1: When you brought the Sistine Chapel, you weren't far off
Speaker 1: from the festivities because that's where the conclave meets.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's where they select a new pope. I believe
Speaker 2: I'll look that up before somebody yells at me, Hey, this.
Speaker 3: Was gonna be a fun thing, because we have to
Speaker 3: do fun stuff on Friday, we will do what you
Speaker 3: learned this week on the Gary and Channon Show, coming
Speaker 3: up late in the show, right before the news nuggets.
Speaker 3: But this was something that was prompted from earlier this week.
Speaker 2: Gary and Channon. I thought it would be a cool
Speaker 2: talk back feature to hear what other people call themselves
Speaker 2: instead of grandma and grandpa. Ah.
Speaker 4: I'm yah yah yeah.
Speaker 2: I do like that one a lot.
Speaker 1: I love yah ya. That's a great idea. I love
Speaker 1: to hear the creativity that goes on. Gigi Glama all
Speaker 1: the things go go go go.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, grandkids call her go go.
Speaker 1: I have a go go as a grand God rest
Speaker 1: his soul, not me. One of my girlfriends her dad.
Speaker 1: Her kids referred to her dad as great.
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: My I don't know if it was something that was
Speaker 3: dictated by my parents. We only said grandma and grandpa,
Speaker 3: never first names. It was always grandma and Grandpa. My kids, though,
Speaker 3: would refer to my parents as Papa Dick and Grandma Jen.
Speaker 3: I mean you had to use both names when you
Speaker 3: would speak of that person. Interesting, But and Keana was
Speaker 3: saying earlier today, it's usually the oldest or the first
Speaker 3: grandkid that kind of sets the tone for everybody all
Speaker 3: the pre proceeding.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So whoever, whatever name they come up with,
Speaker 3: is that that's the name that's going to stick.
Speaker 1: With Well, the thing is, there's families where the grandparents
Speaker 1: come up with their own names, like my parents did that,
Speaker 1: like I'm going to be called this, And then there's
Speaker 1: the families where the kids. I always liked it when
Speaker 1: the kids choose the names. That's always most fun for me.
Speaker 4: I wrote.
Speaker 1: To watch from the outside is like, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: if a kid can't pronounce a name or can't pronounce
Speaker 1: grandma and it comes out, you know, gama, and then
Speaker 1: your gama.
Speaker 2: For the whole your whole life, that's always a fun thing.
Speaker 3: Or googie or whatever. My wife said. This would have
Speaker 3: been years ago. She said something about how she wanted
Speaker 3: to be called Lali as a grandma, and I wrote
Speaker 3: it down. I took a note in my phone for
Speaker 3: some reason that was our kids were barely teenagers at
Speaker 3: the time, but I remember that.
Speaker 1: So are you gonna put that as an edict in
Speaker 1: when when your first grandchild comes.
Speaker 4: Up, Yeah, you shall refer to her.
Speaker 2: What would you like to be called Fonsie. Oh, that
Speaker 2: would be great. Let's do it Grandpa Fonsa rally. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: One of the big stories today, President Trump says that
Speaker 3: Crimea will stay with Russia to definitive statement today about
Speaker 3: the need for Ukraine to give up some of its
Speaker 3: territory to end the war with Russia. He made these
Speaker 3: comments in an interview with Time magazine that the interview
Speaker 3: actually was done on Tuesday, but was released today. Crimea
Speaker 3: is the peninsula right along the Black Sea in southern
Speaker 3: Ukraine that Russia seized back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's going to the pope's funeral. Oh makes sense,
Speaker 1: Catholic president. Oh yeah, Ok, he's met the Pope several times.
Speaker 4: I guess that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you remember the Turpin kids.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: I've got a story that sounds like their story. But
Speaker 1: it's about a turtle, and it's just one turtle. It's
Speaker 1: not a whole. Okay, you're so disappointed.
Speaker 2: I am slightly disappointed. Not so disappointed. Okay, all takes
Speaker 2: slight disappointment.
Speaker 1: Light disappointment, not back in nineteen seventy seven, Can I
Speaker 1: have some music?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Back in nineteen seventy seven, there was a young boy
Speaker 1: and he was playing in his yard in New York
Speaker 1: and he stumbles upon a wild eastern box turtle and
Speaker 1: the boy takes in the turtle. The family takes in
Speaker 1: the turtle, and for the next fifty years, the turtle
Speaker 1: stayed in the home. She remained on the kitchen floor.
Speaker 1: She ate cat food occasionally lettuce. Now, this box turtle,
Speaker 1: eastern box turtle. Had she lived in the wild, she'd
Speaker 1: lived near water, she would take in the sunlight. She
Speaker 1: would have worn her nails down naturally in forest terrain.
Speaker 1: But that's not what happened with roc Aalina, the wild
Speaker 1: Eastern box turtle. No, she lived in that kitchen, ate
Speaker 1: that cat food, and recently, Garden State tortoise. A reptile
Speaker 1: rehab center got a hold of rock A Lina. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to the family, but rock Allina
Speaker 1: was the serve and she made her way into this
Speaker 1: rehab and the guy who runs it was really worried
Speaker 1: about rock Aalina. Her skin was discolored, it was sloughing
Speaker 1: off her nails, were not worn down as they would
Speaker 1: naturally have been in the forest terrain. No, they were
Speaker 1: curled in misshapen. They had grown back into her feet.
Speaker 1: One leg was impartially bad shape. They thought that she
Speaker 1: was going to lose that leg. Her eyes were covered
Speaker 1: in dead skin. She could not see this was a
Speaker 1: turtle on her last legs, quite literally. But they got
Speaker 1: her to the rehab center. Nails, they I'm not to
Speaker 1: that point. Oh, they gave her a warm bath.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 1: Every recovery story starts with a warm bath, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: With just forty five minutes of her being in warm water,
Speaker 1: her eyes opened and you could tell that she was
Speaker 1: just like, where am I?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: According to the guy who runs the rehab center, his
Speaker 1: name Chris, it was a box turtle that inspired Chris
Speaker 1: to start his reptile center.
Speaker 2: He was five.
Speaker 1: He was playing in a sandbox with his Gi Joe's
Speaker 1: and dad was mowing the lawn and that's when he found.
Speaker 2: His first box turtle.
Speaker 1: He could have handed me anything that day, he said
Speaker 1: about his father, But it was a box turtle and
Speaker 1: that stuck with me. I became enamored with them. Well
Speaker 1: after rock Alina's first bath. She made steady progress. Chris
Speaker 1: and the rescue centers VET gave her antibiotics, she got
Speaker 1: some soft foods. They trimmed her nails, Gary trimmer nails,
Speaker 1: and her beak it was shaped more like a ducks
Speaker 1: than our turtle's hooked mouth because of our living conditions.
Speaker 2: Oh is this her right here with the strawberries? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Chris says.
Speaker 1: It was like this turtle seemed to know we were
Speaker 1: helping her every single step of the way that we
Speaker 1: did something, she immediately responded to it. She was moved
Speaker 1: into a habitat that would mimic her natural ecosystem. It
Speaker 1: was decked out with fake logs, a water area, pine needles,
Speaker 1: and foliage. Kind of reminds me of the cage I
Speaker 1: created for Hami Tar anyway. For Finally, in late April,
Speaker 1: rock Alina went outside for the first time in nearly
Speaker 1: fifty years. Member This turtle had been living in a
Speaker 1: dirty kitchen eating cat food. She finally saw the outdoors.
Speaker 1: Chris says, when they put her outside, rock Alina was like,
Speaker 1: what is this this soft grass? She perked up. She
Speaker 1: stared into the sky. She cocked her head, blinked her
Speaker 1: eyes and munched on an earthworm.
Speaker 2: What's the future hold for RockA Fina? No more cat food,
Speaker 2: only live worms.
Speaker 4: That sounds. That sounds.
Speaker 1: Did you imagine being trapped in a dirty kitchen eating
Speaker 1: cat food and maybe a piece of lettuce for fifty
Speaker 1: years and then somebody takes you outside and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: look at all.
Speaker 4: This, Look at all these earthworms.
Speaker 1: That incredible And I love the part how everything they
Speaker 1: did for her to take care of her, she acknowledged.
Speaker 3: She responded to, I want to know, first of all,
Speaker 3: what news organization published the story.
Speaker 2: It was mpr ah okay, which I think is a
Speaker 2: good use of their time.
Speaker 4: Probably.

Speaker 6: and grandfather in Afrikaans is oma and opah oma sounds
Speaker 6: kind of Greek, but it's not oma and opah ou
