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 --> 00:00:07.320 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.000 A bunch of stories that are going on. 5 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.640 Obviously, the man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and 6 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.800 wounding another did surrender to officers last night. They found 7 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.079 him in some woods near his home. He was arrested 8 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.559 in charge with two counts of murder two counts of 9 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.800 attempted murder. He apparently posed as a police officer when 10 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.520 he shot a Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman. Former House 11 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.200 Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. He also shot 12 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.280 a senator, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. 13 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:46.920 They suffered multiple gunshot wounds each. John Hoffman was shot 14 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.960 nine times, his wife Yvette was shot eight times. They 15 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.200 both went through surgery and are expected to survive if 16 00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:00.399 Vett apparently shielded their daughter from the gunshots. Wow an 17 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.759 adult daughter, but she was not injured in the attack 18 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:05.040 and was able to work the. 19 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.120 One who called nine to one one. Wow. 20 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.000 Wall Street Journal reports that Iran has been urgently signaling 21 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.760 that it wants an end to hostilities and resumption of 22 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.400 talks over its nuclear program, although they don't do that publicly, 23 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.640 Tehran has apparently told other Arab state officials that they 24 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.159 would be open to returning to the negotiating table as 25 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.519 long as the United States does not join in the 26 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.920 current series of attacks that Israel has leveled against that country. 27 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.840 Well, I mentioned I saw some No King's protests down 28 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.280 in Huntington Beach, saw some pro Trump action there as well. 29 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.400 Listened to Michael Monk's reports yesterday, caught that from two 30 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.000 to four where he was fielding calls from people who 31 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.799 saw what they saw over the weekend, and Michael Monks 32 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.159 adjoins US now. And I didn't spend much time on 33 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.959 Twitter or social media or the internet really this weekend, Michael, 34 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.560 But I did hear one of your talk back callers 35 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.359 say that there were fake numbers of protesters, which I 36 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.359 found to be interesting because I don't know how you 37 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.199 fake the overhead shots. 38 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.879 Yeah, if you were on Twitter and or X as 39 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.439 we call it now. Unfortunately, it's hard to adjust to 40 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.639 that abrupt change for something that's been so important to 41 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.879 journalists for so long. But it is X and I'm 42 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.159 on there all the time, scrolling and falling deeper into depression. 43 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.319 But I can tell you that over the weekend, it 44 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.520 depends on who you voted for, on how you saw 45 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.360 what was playing out. And that's pretty much the case 46 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.479 for everything. Even this Minnesota there were good numbers. 47 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.680 And numbers in LA she would expect. But I just 48 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.280 is it because people were saying that the pictures that 49 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.240 they saw were the scope of them was not fully telling. Yes, 50 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.439 it's from that angle, it looks like a lot of people, 51 00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.840 but it wasn't really that is that what it is? 52 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.520 Yeah, because at the same time you had the military 53 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.639 parade going on in Washington, d C. And so folks 54 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.240 who are maybe on the Democratic side or farther looking 55 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.919 at this and saying, look that, turnout. 56 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.199 There's nobody there. Exactly. 57 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.599 It's completely competition all day, every day on stuff that 58 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.080 really doesn't matter, rather than getting into the grit of 59 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.199 the policy. So it's who's got more friends. I've got 60 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.159 more friends than this guy has, and you know anytime 61 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.879 that you can use. Of course, the president himself is 62 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.639 notorious for this, ratings, crowd sizes, hand size. You know, 63 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.280 this is something that's very important to him and is 64 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.639 now filtered out into broader American society, and this is 65 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.599 definitely what people were complaining about all weekend. Nobody was 66 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.800 at the military parade. Nobody was at the No Kings 67 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.879 or if you just acknowledge the military parade, what a 68 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.759 dud this was. 69 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.800 You know, nobody had a good time there. This looks 70 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.960 so poorly orchestrated. 71 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.919 The soldiers weren't marching correctly, or the No Kings saying, 72 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.439 oh yeah, big deal. We woke up this morning. We 73 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.159 still don't have a king. Great job, No Kings people, 74 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:52.159 you know we didn't have one to begin with. 75 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.360 Post he said, you guys have done a great job. 76 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.960 We still don't have a king. Thanks for all your 77 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:01.400 hard work. 78 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.639 He may have plagiarized that. I did see that. I 79 00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.639 had seen it earlier from others. I mean, that was 80 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.039 the kind of messaging that was going on. What I 81 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.360 think I observed in downtown Los Angeles where I covered 82 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.759 it for is on Saturday afternoon, was the crowd was 83 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.759 an immense, but it wasn't intense the way that some 84 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.040 of the in your face kind of protest outside the 85 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.399 Federal building and when the National Guard and the Marines 86 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.000 might be involved, because this isn't that crew. 87 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.160 This is. 88 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.959 I don't want to use this as a pejorative, of course, 89 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.439 but you might hear the phrase latte liberal. I mean 90 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.560 this was people who voted for Hillary Clinton, people who 91 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.319 voted for Kama Harris, very enthusiastic. 92 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.040 That was the vibe that I got when I saw 93 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.240 the protests as well. 94 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.879 These are people who have bad feelings about the current administration. 95 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.959 This was scheduled before these immigration enforcement efforts really ramped up, 96 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.800 so it was more broadly focused against the Trump administration 97 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.040 and their various policies. And it brought a lot of 98 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.000 people downtown, which was kind of needed because of the 99 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.560 curfew that's going on. It was in the late afternoon, 100 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.399 early evening hours that the vibes shifted again because the 101 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.639 geography of the event shifted. Was back outside that Federal 102 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.560 building and a lot of those usual characters showed up. 103 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.399 It was also interesting to note, if I may quickly, 104 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.560 it's not just Republicans or conservatives that dislike the No Kings. 105 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:18.720 I'll tell you who really. 106 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.040 Hates the No Kings protest, the leftist, the folks in 107 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.199 LA that love to antagonize the police, the military. You 108 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.240 saw a lot of criticism from online LA the people 109 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.600 who are just inferior. Oh, you know, this is not 110 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.079 how you protest. In essence, this isn't how you protest. 111 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.639 If you have a list of things you shouldn't be 112 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.560 doing at the protest, this isn't a protest, you know, 113 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.800 and very explicitly said, these are people Democrats who were 114 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:48.959 trying to hijack our momentum, our movement. Don't let them 115 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:49.279 do that. 116 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.000 And that's what that's the problem with the Democrats. They 117 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.839 eat each other. Well, these folks aren't Democrats. I mean 118 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.759 the ones who were downtown are And so I've continually 119 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.360 tried to make the distinction here because I think it's 120 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.560 just political interesting. 121 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.360 But it's a people that go after the late liberals 122 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.160 that get the headlines and get called democrats and then 123 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:07.759 everyone thinks that everyone's that crazy. 124 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.519 You nailed it, because if you see a leftist, if 125 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.959 you will again, I'm not using that as a majority 126 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.800 of they would proudly wear that a leftist set away 127 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.560 moo on fire. That person probably did not enthusiastically vote 128 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.519 for Kamala Harris. If you voted for Kamala Harris at all, 129 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.560 but you can bet that he will be in a 130 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.680 campaign ad against a run of the mill, mainstream democratic. 131 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:29.560 Yeah. 132 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.439 So it is often those leftist positions that get attached 133 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.279 to more mainstream or moderate whose policies you may still 134 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.600 disagree with, but it's not a true reflection of their politics. 135 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.000 Just like the guy who shot and killed the lawmakers 136 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.160 in Minnesota, he'll be used in the campaign ads. 137 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:45.759 For the left. 138 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.279 Look at what Trump supporters do. I mean, it's an 139 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.879 awful place we are with the rhetoric, it really is. 140 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.519 I mean, in the immediate aftermath of that shooting, that's 141 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.120 where a lot of the terminally online folks, including unfortunately 142 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.720 some members of Congress, go is, how do we find 143 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.720 out who this guy voted for so that we can 144 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.439 pendant on him rather than coming to terms with what 145 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.680 was clearly a tragedy. Yeah, let's get some facts before 146 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.680 we ascribe the politics of this man so that we 147 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.199 can somehow gain from it politically. 148 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.199 And there's got to be a certain amount of self 149 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.680 reflection no matter who you are, what political side you're on. 150 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.959 I mean, Governor Tim Walls comes out and says, we 151 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.120 can't have this divided political environment like this. This is 152 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.879 never This is never okay. Political violence is never okay. Okay, 153 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.800 that's fine to say, you're the governor of the state. 154 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.920 Now lock yourself in a room and go through all 155 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.120 the times in your own head where you've said things 156 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.600 that were over the line. Yeah, for both sides, not 157 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.800 just because he was running for vice president. I mean 158 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.920 there are you reach a certain level of politics in 159 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.160 this country. There's a great chance that you've had to 160 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.959 step on people to get where you are. So let's 161 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.759 maybe do a little bit of reflection and think to yourself. Okay, 162 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:05.000 maybe I am also of even part of this completely 163 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:06.879 polarized political discoord. 164 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.079 But Gary, you're asking for introspection and self reflection, and 165 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.439 I just don't think folks are. 166 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.079 Willing to do that. 167 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.439 I am asking you to stay for another segment. 168 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.680 I'd happily do that. 169 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.439 Thank you. 170 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.920 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 171 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.040 AM six forty. 172 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.839 Dodgers pitching debut tonight, Redundant as La hosts The Padres, 173 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.519 the first time oh Tani has pitched in the Major 174 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.360 League since undergoing that right elbow surgery back in twenty 175 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.000 twenty five or twenty twenty three. Excuse me, we thought 176 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.960 that he wasn't going to make an appearance on the 177 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.080 mound till after the All Star break. 178 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.320 But here he is, yeah, on Blake Snell Bobblehead night 179 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.240 at Dodger Stadium. The judge overseeing Sean Comb's federal trial 180 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.519 dismissed one of the jurors. Today, lawyers have acknowledged that 181 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.519 the jury is diverse, but they did not want to 182 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.960 see this guy kicked off. They said that the guy 183 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.919 the juror who was dismissed, is black. The alternate juror 184 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.519 who will replace him is white. Prosecutors raised the issue 185 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.799 last week after this juror, in casual conversation with one 186 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.120 of the members of the court staff, said that he 187 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.519 just moved in with his girlfriend in New Jersey, but 188 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.240 during jury selection he said that he lived in the 189 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:27.440 Bronx with his fiancee. So the judge said, sounds like 190 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.679 you're just trying to make some money off of this 191 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:30.759 book deal. 192 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.919 Perhaps, so they kicked him off the jury. 193 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.159 So a little bit of confusion. The Trump administration has 194 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:42.600 directed immigration officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants, and hotels. 195 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.840 This after Trump expressed a bit of alarm about the 196 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:51.879 impact of aggressive enforcement. Stephen Miller, the architecturally of Trump's 197 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.080 immigration policies, said that ICE was going to target three 198 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.039 thousand arrests a day, which Michael Monks actually heard you 199 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:03.360 talking about this yesterday on your show. Seems a lot 200 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.919 if you're just going after the worst of the worst criminals, 201 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.440 even though this administration or the mouthpieces for the administration 202 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.360 have said no, if you're here illegally, you should be worried, period. 203 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.679 But three thousand arrested day, obviously is not just going 204 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.320 after the worst of the worst. Now, the President came 205 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.200 out and said, you know, these are good people. I 206 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.240 don't remember exactly what his words were, to which people 207 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.399 who advocate for people here illegally said, yeah, they are. 208 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.879 They're all mostly very good people. So is his messaging 209 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.960 going to change, are his orders going to change as 210 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.480 he realizes that it's not just people in farms, restaurants 211 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.480 and hotels that are good people? Or where are we 212 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.000 with that? And is that message resonating on the street. 213 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.639 Well, you know, you can listen to anything the president 214 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.320 says and then wait a couple weeks and see if 215 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.039 it is shifted at all. We think about the tariff 216 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:53.679 policy the way that it's been the tariffs are on, 217 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.399 the tariffs are off. It does end up having real 218 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.600 impact on the way people feel. That's how you see 219 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.200 it reflected an opinion pulling about it. How do you 220 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.200 feel about the economy or how businesses prepare for the 221 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.159 inventory that they will have available in the summer. Should 222 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:06.679 I order now? Should I order later? What are the 223 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.440 prices going to be? Should I take out a loan 224 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.679 right now? When you waffle on your positions and you're 225 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.960 the president, it creates a sense of anxiety. There's already 226 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.000 anxiety for illegal immigrants here in Los Angeles, but I 227 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.879 can tell you it is visible because the fashion district 228 00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.320 is dead. Santi Ali is dead, Downtown is mostly dead. 229 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.679 The curfew is playing a big role in a lot 230 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.159 of that. Tons of buildings downtown covered in wood as 231 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.639 if there were a hurricane and the forecast, I mean 232 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.279 plywood on the last bookstore. I mean iconic landmarks in 233 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.759 downtown LA are covered in wood. But all of those 234 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.879 little cheap shops that people like to frequent on the weekends, 235 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.919 Santi Ali, Los Angeles Street, the flower district would typically 236 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.200 be hopping on a beautiful weekend like what we just had, 237 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.279 and it was tumbleweeds everywhere. So if people feel like 238 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.840 certain sectors are going to be better protected than others, 239 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.399 it's not playing out in real time because I'm hearing 240 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.840 even from folks who work in restaurants that employees aren't 241 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.080 coming and they're calling about what's the vibe. There was 242 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.000 a fast food restaurant downtown that had an ice truck 243 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.080 go through the drive through and like, I think they 244 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.840 were just picking up lunch, and it terrorized people who 245 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.320 work there. 246 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.240 Speaking of curfew, what is the plan for that? We 247 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.720 know that Karen bass Mayor had said it's going to 248 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:32.519 stay in effect for now, I mean for an unforeseen 249 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:34.840 amount of time from eight pm until six am. When 250 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.039 she first imposed it, she was asked what would be 251 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.240 the criteria to lift it, and the one of her 252 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:47.000 criteria was she wanted to have a night with zero arrests. 253 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:50.399 Are we in moving in that direction? We seemed to 254 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.120 be there last night. 255 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.919 Last night was relatively calm, I say relative compared to 256 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.840 Saturday Friday, all of the days leading up to it, 257 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.320 all the way back to last Sunday when it really 258 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.360 got Harry Day night into Monday morning is when we 259 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.240 saw all that violence. The vandalism and looting in downtown LA, 260 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.639 and that prompted the curfew. I talked to the two 261 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.159 founders of the Downtown LA Residents Association, and incidentally, last 262 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.320 night they sent an email, and I'm on this list, 263 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.279 so I got the email. Didn't participate in the survey, 264 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.000 but I got the email and it was asking, we 265 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.039 need urgent response from people. What do you want to 266 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.360 do about the curfew? Three options, end it now, phase 267 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.559 it out, or keep it going. About two hours later, 268 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.480 they say they got about three hundred responses and a 269 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.960 combined eighty percent we're either in this curfew now or 270 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.200 start to phase it out immediately, with only like twelve 271 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.600 percent saying keep the curfew going. And that's because if 272 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.240 you're in downtown LA, you're already struggling. It's expensive, and 273 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.919 the environment down there is not always inviting to folks 274 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.320 to come down and spend their money. If you are 275 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.320 a restaurant owner, if you're a bar owner, you haven't 276 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.240 been able to do anything. 277 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.000 I mean, the curfew. What are you going to open 278 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.679 up for breakfast? You can't. 279 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.799 It doesn't make any business sense. So you've been hit 280 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.840 really hard. It's not sustainable. It's just not sustainable, and 281 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.480 so it does have to end at some point. But 282 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.960 the caveat is the immigration enforcement is clearly going to continue. 283 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.399 I would expect that demonstrations against immigration enforcement will continue. 284 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.240 How does it all end? That's what I keep asking 285 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.080 all weekends. How does it end? And I don't have 286 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.559 an answer for that. I don't think anybody does. But 287 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.960 I think that if immigration enforcement's going to escalate at 288 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.480 the directive of the President, that the demonstrations could escalate 289 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.200 as well. And anytime that there's that sort of disorder, 290 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:33.120 there are a lot of bad actors who want to 291 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.159 take advantage of that and start breaking into the stores again. 292 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:40.080 Yeah, yeah, I mean there's an option whether it picks 293 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.200 up steam or it fizzles out. And I just don't 294 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.720 know because I'm not down there, so I don't know 295 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.120 where the energy level is, but you can usually tell. 296 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.639 Right it feels like covid era down there. 297 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.919 And I think about Friday night, I left here, went home, 298 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.559 and I'm just kind of hanging around, you know. Sometimes 299 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.440 Friday night You're like, I'm just obviously we're going to 300 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.840 stay in. There's nowhere to go because we live down there. 301 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.720 You know, what I want McDonald's. I'm going to go 302 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.440 find something because I'm a resident and i'm a member 303 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:03.799 of the media. 304 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:05.600 McDonald's we have two. 305 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.080 There's one on the other side of skid Row on Alameda, 306 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.399 and then there's another one on Olympic. 307 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.360 Yeah, okay, we'll go to stop at the Alameda one. 308 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:14.840 Yeah, it's a good one. I mean, they're all very fast. 309 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.440 I got two lanes, very kind kids. I get a 310 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.679 M chicken. I love a MC chicken. I was like, 311 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.440 I want to McChicken. It's kind of like the chick 312 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.039 fil A. I don't think we give McDonald's mc chicken 313 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.559 enough credit. Chick fil A is really good too, but 314 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.120 they got the pickle on there, like the chick fil 315 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.960 a does too much. 316 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.840 Though the mcchicken's a perfect snack, exactly. 317 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.279 Like I want to MC chicken. And my spouse is like, 318 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.879 you're not supposed to go out. You're not supposed to 319 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:33.960 go out, but if you do, I will like a 320 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.559 big mac. So I go hunting for this. You're going. 321 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.000 The one on Alimedo was closed, but on the drive 322 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.039 down there, I mean, even in skid Row, which is 323 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.559 often lively for all the wrong reasons. Ghost Town, I 324 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.919 did have to find the one on Olympic Oh, you know, 325 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.480 and they gave me a doctor pepper instead of the day. 326 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.480 All right, it's all right. I was glad that they 327 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:54.879 were open. 328 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.080 But gas stations close, restaurants closed, and then in the 329 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.600 afternoon you think, okay, well this isn't a few hour 330 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.480 But then the Immigration Enforcement is hanging over the head 331 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.559 of a lot of illegal immigrants who work down there, 332 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:07.039 and it's dead. 333 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.200 It's just completely dead. Oh that the mc chicken was good. 334 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:12.360 It always is. 335 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.879 Yeah, so good. Not disappointed, No, I was really glad 336 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:15.240 I did it. 337 00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.200 I haven't had one for a while. 338 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.960 Michael Munk always a pleasure, guys. 339 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:24.120 Right, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from 340 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.200 KFI AM six forty. 341 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.440 Big stories of course, today is the arrest and now 342 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.440 federal charges that have been filed against the man suspected 343 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.039 of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another. There were 344 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.440 some issues early on yesterday. They said they were going 345 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.720 to charge this guy with second degree murder, that it 346 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:48.440 wasn't premeditated. They were able to explain that Mary Moriarity 347 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.879 is the county attorney there in Hennepin counties are. 348 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.840 The highest charges we can file by complaint, and it 349 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:56.600 needed to be done quickly to get the warrant out. 350 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:01.120 Mister Bolter was taken into state custody, and our office 351 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:05.119 intends to pursue first degree murder charges against mister Bolter. 352 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.640 There was some pushback originally, I guess there was a 353 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:15.039 concern that the prosecutors in Hennepin County specifically were, as 354 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.319 we like to say in the old in the olden 355 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:23.000 days here in LA, progressive prosecutors, which were considered to 356 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.799 be lighter on crime. But she explained the way they 357 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.119 had to get the warrant right away was to file 358 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.480 secondary murder charges. They can be upgraded to first degree 359 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.680 and they're still saying that the death penalty is on 360 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:35.559 the table for that guy. 361 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:40.559 Progressive prosecutors are often just defense attorneys that are marauding 362 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.759 as prosecutors, pretending I've seen rodding. 363 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.680 That's good, though. 364 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.079 They worked their way into the other side like a 365 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:53.559 trojan horse situation. Another chilling angle to that story is 366 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:58.039 that this guy stopped at two other homes. He stopped 367 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.039 at the home of a state representative in Maple Grove 368 00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.119 and a state senator in New Hope in between those 369 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.240 two attacks I imagine being those families as well. 370 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:11.680 And why wouldn't he I mean, these were in the 371 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.319 middle of the morning, middle of the morning and middle 372 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.359 of the night, two in the morning, whatever it was, 373 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.359 why wouldn't he have stopped. 374 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.400 At those places? 375 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:20.960 For whatever? 376 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.519 Why wouldn't have gotten out? 377 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.319 Whether it was security gates didn't like the vibe, there 378 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:29.559 are people outside, people inside, I don't know. 379 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.119 Whatever. 380 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.200 For whatever reason, he did stop those two homes, but 381 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.759 obviously did not enact the carnage he did it the 382 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.440 other two. The bookended those two stops. 383 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.119 There was a lot that was made out of this, 384 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.039 and I'm not sure that it needed to have a 385 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:51.799 lot made out of it, although it's unusual. Stu Mundell 386 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:58.119 Box eleven helicopter by a longtime helicopter guy, had a 387 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:02.319 live therapy session is the way described about a separation 388 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.079 his feelings for bourbon. He was flying over downtown Culver 389 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.279 City to get to one of the No Kings protests 390 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:14.519 that was taking place, and was apparently answering questions from viewers. 391 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.359 Basically just a live YouTube feed. 392 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.359 I mean, when you go live, it's all on the table, 393 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.799 right whatever you're doing, if you want to answer questions, 394 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:24.799 and he was just super honest. Now I haven't taken 395 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:26.920 in a lot of Stu Mandel's reporting over the years, 396 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:29.480 but what I can remember, he's just a matter of 397 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.839 fact guy. He's just like he's not missed. Look, I'm 398 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.200 very serious. I'm a traffic reporter, and I will just 399 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:37.279 give you the traffic. He seems to be just like 400 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:39.119 a dude that would be your friend up in the 401 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.400
