This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah. Applied Spectroscopy is a journal of Apple to do
smart things. Don't waste your time with that. One of
the world's leading spectroscopy journals, publishing high quality, peer reviewed articles.
My daughter would love it. I don't understand what I
just said.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
US women's soccer in action. Why do we have the
men's gymnastics on? I don't want to watch the men's gymnastics,
so we're not very good at that.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
What channel is it on? I'm not sure?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
But they kick off at do you say kickoff with soccer? Yes,
all right, they kicked off about seven minutes ago. Men's
basketball in action today as well at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They're playing South Sudan again. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Women's soccer team will look for a win or draw
against Australia to clinch first place in Group B and
they play the boys playing South Sudan at noon our time,
after narrowly defeating them in that wild exhibition game before
the Olympics. Other events, the men's gymnastics, which is happening now,
(01:14):
several metal events and swimming, including the women's one hundred
meter freestyle and men's two hundred meter butterfly.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You were a butterfly guy, weren't you just watch it? No?
I was not. I was backstrokeing freestyle. I had a
hard time watching those last night. Nerves the races. Yeah,
And I was sitting there and I'm nervous. And it
was one hundred meter free I think it was the
qualifying the semi finals, and my wife and I were
sitting there watching. I think, am I the only one?
(01:42):
I'm Are you nervous watching this? And she said why
would I be nervous? I said, yeah, I mean you're
not in the pool.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You remember, though, it's like muscle memory of that was
there was something about swim team where you're on that
white platform, and it is nerve wrecking more so than
other things.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's crazy because the option, not the option, the possibility
of a false start is very high all the time,
at least when I was, because we hadn't Yeah, I
didn't have a thousand races under my belt so much.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So I probably lost a couple seconds just making sure
I didn't have a false start.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Right, They won't they won't penalize you for leaving late. God,
I was horrible at that. There were some water quality
concerns as well, caused by the heavy rains last week.
Because of the Sane River and it's it's feces, feces,
the poo that floats through there. They were able to
clean out all of the baby roofs and both Men's
(02:43):
and Women's Triathlon used the Sane River for the swimming
portions today.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
How did the affair between Kamala Harris and Willie Brown end?
That's what the question on the table is after his
quote that's going viral that if Kamala Harris is elected
quoting now now, she'll deport my ass.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Jonathan Martin, a writer for Politico, said he sat down
with the former speaker, former mayor Willie Brown and had
a nice lunch with him, and the topic was all
about Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, there was a talkback a woman who had
a great point. I was wondering and opining how Kamala
Harris's affair with Willie Brown and all the details about
it will play out in other parts of the country
that here in California were more liberal thinking in that regard.
And so it was kind of not a big deal.
It was just kind of fun to talk about. But
how would it play out in other areas that are
(03:37):
more conservative? And she had a great point that, well,
look at the guy on the other side, Donald Trump,
and look at all his dalliances and his issues, and
it just paints the perfect picture of we hold that
guy to a lower standard than everybody else.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, and to that point, I don't think this gains
a lot of traction. It's a little bit of a
soap opera aspect to her career, but I do think
it gains a lot of traction that she had. Yeah,
would you call it an affair, It's I mean, he
wasn't married, It's not like she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was a it was a political move in bed.
That's for a prolonged.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Period, for a very prolonged period of time. What's great
is again? Jonathan Martin, this writer for Politico, says that
they met at Les Centraal, a restaurant where Brown has
been taking the roast chicken with the French fries and
a side of cheap mustard a screwdriver on the rocks
in a wine glass every Friday since nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
His regular group started as a gang of six, including Herbcane.
If you're from the Bay Area, you know Herbcane. He
was a columnist. It was the best column I think. Well,
I'm biased, aren't I?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yes, but a great, great column Herbcane and his sense
of humor, and his just willingness to write in a skyline,
all of it. And Jonathan Martin says that he was
going to write about Willy Brown, how at a guy
at the age of ninety is still holding court, still
has political sway, especially in California, And he said that
(05:11):
was then. Obviously he talked with Willy Brown again after
Joe Biden dropped out of the race and threw his
endorsement behind, as did the rest of the Democratic Party
behind Vice President Harris.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Willy Brown has gotten forty eight media inquiries about Harris.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That seems low.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, well, when this went to print, forty eight media inquiries.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Again. I don't know how many people know about.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Her rise in California and that it's began with Willy
Brown appointing her to those state commissions and really getting
the ball rolling. As soon as more media outlets and
more cities find out about this they will come calling.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, that's very true. He Willie Brown has taken some credit,
at least for helping her political rise. He obviously endorsed
her for president. He's expected she sorry, is expected to
clinch the nomination very very soon. And he says, yes,
we dated. This was way back in a piece that
(06:11):
he wrote five years ago. He said, yes, we dated. Yes,
I may have influenced her career by appointing her to
two state commissions when I was Assembly Speaker, and I
certainly helped her win her first race for DA in
San Francisco. The leader of Hamas is smile Hania, was
assassinated in Iran. He was there to attend the inauguration
of Iran's new president. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but
(06:32):
we are all pretty certain it was Israel. Israel, of course,
vowed to kill this guy and other leaders of Hamas
after the October seventh attack in Israel that killed twelve
hundred people. Iran's supreme leader has said that he will
take revenge on Israel. Donald Trump returning to Pennsylvania today
(06:52):
for the first time since he was shot at at
a rally in Butler seventeen days after his assassination attempt.
The rally today will be the capital of Harrisburg, just
his third since the shooting and since he became officially
the Republican presidential nominee. Interesting Harrisburg.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Huh, harris will be announcing her running mate in Pennsylvania
as well. It'll happen on Tuesday. It's gonna be Josh Shapiro,
because how could it not be. You don't go to
Pennsylvania and then slap the people in the face by
not selecting their guy.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, it would be weird. Angels beat the Rockies last
night ten to seven. Dodgers lost to the Padres six
' five, and then they do a five forty start
tonight just before the deadline. By the way, Dodgers acquired
veterans starter Jack Flaherty coming back to the Southland in
exchange for a couple of prospects. He played at Harvard Westlake,
so hopefully bolster their pitching staff. Dodgers in San Diego,
(07:46):
as I said, to take on the Padres five to
forty first pitch. Listen to every play of every Dodgers
game on AM five to seventy LA Sports Live from
the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth and stream all the games
NHD on the iHeartRadio. I have to use that keyword,
AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, Well, Willie Brown has been a Democratic king
maker in California for decades, and Kamala Harris was one
of the people he crowned years ago, back in the nineties.
She was twenty nine, he was sixty, and he is
ninety years old now. He was an Assembly speaker, he
was a mayor of San Francisco, and has just been
(08:23):
kind of aka Nancy Pelosi, just the power player here
in California. And he said that he's gotten about fifty
media inquiries about Harris since Biden left the race. He
says he's no longer directly in touch with Kamala, but
he's got some suggestions about what should happen. He said
Biden should step down now so the country can see
(08:46):
Kamala as president before the election, give her a leg
up in that regard. He said Harris should avoid making
her history making identity central because the voters want her
to answer them that she ought to embrace her hazy
ideological categorization because if she keeps people continually guessing, then
(09:07):
she can just then she can adjust the interpretation of
your guests every time she sees you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And that's the thing with Kamlin Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's the way she's operated her whole Career's just doing
whatever is going to get her into that next.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Seat, whatever's convenient.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Who knows what she actually believes.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And that's such an interesting piece of advice for him,
is to lean into that portion of it, to lean
into being ambiguous about certain policies. I mean, one of
the things that she talked about in this rally yesterday
was that she was touting her record on the border,
but it was while she was attorney general in the
state of California, not the appointed Finger quotes borders are
(09:52):
that she was under the current administration because the state
of California, there's only so much she can do as
the attorney general here when it comes to border policy
and border control. It's very weird, very strange version of that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
One of his main goals, Willy Brown is to unite
Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom so that they're not fighting
each other, so that they're not eating each other on
the national stage.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He says that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Gavin Newsom agreed a long time ago that under no
circumstance would he ever challenge Kamala. How do you make
that deal with Willy Brown? You promise me, you promise people?
Thinks Hey, Let I mean we saw it happen on
the national level with the DNC and Hillary Clinton. You know,
(10:43):
stand down now and Joe Biden for that man matters.
Stand down now. Let so and so take the crown
and in the future we'll support you with X, Y
and Z.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I mean, they're not doing it for free. Gavin Newsom
didn't fall in line and support Kamala for nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So then this all, I guess comes to full circle
when Willy Brown was asked about the check that Donald
Trump wrote to a Kamala Harris campaign. Now, we know,
we've talked about it. Rich people, they spread their money around,
they cover all their bases, and it was a five
thousand dollars check. I think it wasn't It wasn't a
massive check by any means. But it was Willy Brown
(11:24):
that prompted the meeting in the first place, where he
claims that he was the first one to introduce Donald
Trump to Kamala Harris back in the nineties. When Trump
called Willy Brown to Manhattan because he wanted well, he
was there in Cambridge, he was given a speech at
Harvard and Trump sends the plane up to Massachusetts to
(11:48):
pick up Willie Brown bringing to Manhattan talk about developing
property in la and said, I know that if I
do anything in California, I gotta go through Willy Brown
because anybody else will take your money and do nothing.
So that was apparently I guess she was traveling with
Willy Brown at the time. Hello, and that became that
(12:11):
the impetus for the meeting between Kamala Harris and Donald
Trump back in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Brown is happy to say what he thinks about why
Trump has succeeded. He says, he's an entertainer and that's
all it is. He was very candid at lunch about
Kamala Harris, about worrying that she had the Hilary syndrome,
that people don't like her Fred it it was not fixable.
(12:36):
Little did Willy Brown know Kamala Harris was holed up
in the makeover closet getting polished and learning how to
speak like a human because she has come across more
likable than ever.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, and that could that could crack. I mean I
don't know, I could. I don't know if that's something
that lasts. I don't know if it's something that she
she falls back on. But at least these last few days,
it's been definitely different.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But he doesn't get into why he thinks if she's elected,
she'll deport his ass. To use his words, I guess
it had to be just something along the lines of
she doesn't like me, it was a relationship that ended,
and she doesn't want she doesn't want a reminder of
sleeping to the to the top. The Cambridge Dictionary has
added a bunch of words. I'm never a fan of
(13:24):
these stories. I don't like change. I don't like adding
new words, especially when they're slang terms from gen Z
because now I'm old.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The ick Do you know what the ick is? I
can imagine it's something that's bad.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's like when you're when you likes someone and then
they do something and then you don't like them anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's called the ick. Tell me about it. What do
you mean? Oh? Nothing? Boop? You know boop when I
bomb beyond the nose? Yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And affects it touch a gentle hit, or touch on
a person's or animal's nose or head, showing them you
like them, or as a joke, if you know, you know,
if you know, you know, all right, you know, uh,
this is my favorite one because this is applicable to us.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Face journey Okay, someone's.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Face journey is there a series of expressions as they
react to something in real time? Okay, we have wonderful
face journeys in here.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That is one. Yeah, that's one way to put chef's
kitch a kiss. You know that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
One gaming terminology is being added, like speed run to
complete a computer game or part of a computer game
as quickly as possible. Offline, it means to complete something
much faster than it's usually done. And then side quest.
Side quest is fun part of a computer game that
has its own aim and story, but not part of
the main game is say, offline, an example would be
(14:58):
buying shoes to complete an out when the main mission
was to shop for address would be.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
A side quest. Oh got it? You just hate yourself
right now? Do you have no idea? Later in the show,
we're going to be talking about one very strange, but
and unexpected Olympic love story. I love the Olympic Village loves.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
St Yeah, it's wonderful and it doesn't involve sex at
least that we know about.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Na. Yeah, the day is young. A bunch of fires
that continue to burn in California. The Park Fire is
by far the largest, of course, three hundred and eighty
nine thousand, seven hundred and ninety one acres right now,
according to CalFire. That's that makes up, by the way,
half of the acres that have burned so far in
(15:47):
the state. Half of them are just this one fire
that started near Chico and is now burning in Plumus,
Shasta and Tahima Counties as well, So three hundred and
ninety thousand roughly acres and it's still only about eighteen
percent contained. Some new evacuation orders have been issued for
Shasta County and they continue. Fire continues to grow a
(16:11):
little more than ten thousand acres or so overnight, but
the containment is still just under or just at eighteen percent.
This again in Arson fire. The guy who's been charged
with starting the fire was in court just a couple
of days ago. Did not enter aplee. He was upset
with his mother apparently, and torched her car and pushed
(16:32):
it down a ravine into a gully and that started
this three hundred and ninety thousand acre fire makes sense.
Sam Mariposa County, there's a fire that is called the
Pedro Fire that just started yesterday afternoon about one thirty
and they said that at one point they were potentially
looking at some evacuation warnings. They're in effect for the
(16:53):
north side of Highway one thirty two from her said
falls to Jones Road, so out in the Yosemite area.
The Nixon Fire is burning in the Riverside area, Riverside County,
near Aguanga. It has we have had.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
A lot of stories involving Aguanda, A Guanga, A Guanga. Yeah,
because you think I'd be able to say it correctly
because we've had so many stories.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, I was gonna say, because you want to get
into into star space, oh worse space wars, right, is
that right? There was either a yes, you're gonna name
a place. Firefighters got this callball twelve thirty near Nixon
Boulevard in a Guanga and within a few hours they
saw it spread to with one thousand acres five thousand
(17:37):
acres by yesterday with no with no with no containment.
As of this morning, they've only said that they've been
able to cut about five percent of fire line around that,
So we are still in a very very dangerous time.
We're seeing temperatures rise once again. So so this is okay,
(17:58):
I just this is distracted me for the last couple
of minutes. Yeah. Sarah Sidner from CNN is at this
National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. Oh Man.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
This has gotten a lot of backlash with their decision
to have Trump speak there.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, Trump was invited to speak to this group. Members
of the organization said the invitation was inappropriate, that it
should be rescinded, and in fact that a co chair
of the event announced that she was going to step
down as a result of all of the turmoil in
all of this. Is that really a giant deal? I mean,
(18:36):
no idea, And what I mean is shouldn't shouldn't we?
As shouldn't we as Americans listen to these different viewpoints,
regardless of whether you don't have to like them. I
don't you have to change, you don't have to change
your mind, but you should at least listen to what
they have.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, I agree, but I think having somebody as a
speaker is kind of an anointing them in some way
to have them as your your speaker.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
At your invention. He's not the only speaker.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No, it's not like he's still you're giving him the stage.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's okay. I'm okay with that. And I'm kind
of surprised that they have I shouldn't say I'm surprised.
I don't like that they've gotten so uh, Pearl Clutchy.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well as as they as some people would tell you,
it's not me saying it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You don't get it. You don't get an opinion. I
don't have a vote in that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And that No, as a white man, you don't get
to have an opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, that's what they would say. Not currently a member
of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Are you a member of any sort of journalist association? No, no,
So you don't even get to comment about the white
male journalists.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I do not convention.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
That's an excellent point, this one out, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Uh. The number of bird flu infections among Colorado chicken
workers has increased, well, poultry in general has increased. It's
up to nine now. CDC says there's a total fourteen
cases nationwide from exposure to poultry and dairy cattle since
twenty twenty two, and the cases in Colorado come from
a couple of farms located in Weld County, northeast of
(20:19):
the Denver area. The workers experience mild symptoms, including conjunctividis.
The CDC assessment of the risk of the public is
still low, but poultry workers who are tasked with culling
infected birds they say are at the ones are the
ones at a heightened risk of infection.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Boeing is naming Kelly Ortberg as its new president and CEO.
Here you go, Kels, Here's a giant pile of crap
for you to Inherit fun sifting through that way. Yeah,
the company is hoping that she can turn things around
because one person is going to fix the holes in
the plains.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, Well, sometimes when you rely on one person too much,
it gets a things go down hill.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's been five years since Tyler Skaggs, at age twenty seven,
was found dead in that hotel room in Texas with
fetanol in a system, rocking the world of baseball.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
July one, twenty nineteen. He was twenty seven years old.
What we know now about Tyler Skaggs is that he
had been taking pills basically all through his pro career.
When he made it into the minor leagues, after dealing
with injuries and things like that, he was able to
find sort of a pipeline for different kinds of opioids.
(21:38):
There was one.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Fall guy for this death, and his name was Eric Kay.
Eric Kay virtually he was ubiquitous around the Angels. He
worked in the communications department for years. He'd recently been
named its director, which was his dream job. Eric Kay
also had a drug problem of his own. He had
grown addicted to opioids and he was taking ten milligram
(22:04):
Norco pills.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
When he ran out.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was at spring training and he kind of started
asking around and there was a young pitcher that was
recently traded to the team, Tyler Skaggs, who came through
when Eric Kay showed up, pulled up to the house
to score some pills. He finds Tyler Skaggs and another
(22:28):
friend snorting percocet pills, not ten miligram but thirty milligram percocets.
He had never snorted the pills in his life, but
started to partake.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
This is the guy.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Who was sentenced to twenty two years in federal prison
for that fentanyl laced pill that killed Tyler Skaggs.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
This does not make sense well, and there's a couple
of things that his lawyers have said that they're going
to go for on appeal. Number one. Apparently, one of
the technicalities of his conviction in Texas was that the
pill had to be given to Tyler Skaggs while they
were in the state of Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And he gave it to him when he was in California. Yeah,
which is a problem. The other thing is they claim
that they being Eric Kay's lawyers, they claimed that it
was Tyler Skaggs who was really the driving force behind
this thing. Because the way that they made it same
at least in court, prosecutors basically explained Eric Kaye was
(23:30):
the one who would procure these drugs. He would give
them to Tyler Skaggs and other players that at this
point are still unnamed. But when you go through and
they plan to bring this up on appeal, when you
go through Tyler Skaggs text messages and emails and communications
with other people, he was the one who had the
better sourcing of the pills and there were other players
(23:51):
that would come to him specifically and say, hey, can
I get some painkillers that aren't going to affect my
game too much? Twenty two years in federal prison, and
now I don't know what it's like to have a child.
I certainly don't know what it's like to lose a child.
So I don't pass judgment on this quote. The mother,
Tyler Skagg's mother says, it's not about the years, it's
(24:13):
just about the accountability.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What about the accountability of Tyler Skaggs, right, I mean,
and that's the fam I mean the fam.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I bet Tyler Skaggs if he was alive, he would
not want to see his friend go away for twenty
two years for an addiction that was alive and well
before he even knew that Eric Kaye liked pills too. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it's one of those things where the families in
Eric Hay's family is in a bad position because the
only I shouldn't say the only, but the main person
that they probably take issue with is the one who
died in this case. So it's not like they can
go to the Tyler Skaggs family and say that your
guy's responsible for my son.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But you know, this is a guy who's a forty
nine year old father of three that's going to be
in prison till twenty forty one because his his drug
buddy took a bad pill. You know, I'm going to
write down a little contract here, okay, and that's going
to say something like this to whom it may concern.
If Gary gives me a bad pill and I die,
(25:16):
please don't put him in prison. I took bad pill
on my own. That's that's on me, but signed me.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I won't give you pills.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
But if you did in the future. I don't know
what we're going to fall into in this show. I mean,
we're going to the DNC, We're going to Chicago. We
might see some things, we might somebody might get us
hooked on pills while we're there. And we come back
and we're jones in and you still have some left
and you give me one? And where did I get
(25:47):
the pills from something that we found in Chicago?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Somebody? I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.
I don't know what you have planned for that week,
but I think we're going to be pretty busy. From
don Patrol to sunset, Sesshon. The US Open is summer
in southern California. The Lexus US Open of Surfing presented
by Pacifico, returns to the Huntington Beach Pier this weekend,

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah. Applied Spectroscopy is a journal of Apple to do
smart things. Don't waste your time with that. One of
the world's leading spectroscopy journals, publishing high quality, peer reviewed articles.
My daughter would love it. I don't understand what I
just said.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
US women's soccer in action. Why do we have the
men's gymnastics on? I don't want to watch the men's gymnastics,
so we're not very good at that.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
What channel is it on? I'm not sure?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
But they kick off at do you say kickoff with soccer? Yes,
all right, they kicked off about seven minutes ago. Men's
basketball in action today as well at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They're playing South Sudan again. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Women's soccer team will look for a win or draw
against Australia to clinch first place in Group B and
they play the boys playing South Sudan at noon our time,
after narrowly defeating them in that wild exhibition game before
the Olympics. Other events, the men's gymnastics, which is happening now,
(01:14):
several metal events and swimming, including the women's one hundred
meter freestyle and men's two hundred meter butterfly.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You were a butterfly guy, weren't you just watch it? No?
I was not. I was backstrokeing freestyle. I had a
hard time watching those last night. Nerves the races. Yeah,
And I was sitting there and I'm nervous. And it
was one hundred meter free I think it was the
qualifying the semi finals, and my wife and I were
sitting there watching. I think, am I the only one?
(01:42):
I'm Are you nervous watching this? And she said why
would I be nervous? I said, yeah, I mean you're
not in the pool.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
You remember, though, it's like muscle memory of that was
there was something about swim team where you're on that
white platform, and it is nerve wrecking more so than
other things.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's crazy because the option, not the option, the possibility
of a false start is very high all the time,
at least when I was, because we hadn't Yeah, I
didn't have a thousand races under my belt so much.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So I probably lost a couple seconds just making sure
I didn't have a false start.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Right, They won't they won't penalize you for leaving late. God,
I was horrible at that. There were some water quality
concerns as well, caused by the heavy rains last week.
Because of the Sane River and it's it's feces, feces,
the poo that floats through there. They were able to
clean out all of the baby roofs and both Men's
(02:43):
and Women's Triathlon used the Sane River for the swimming
portions today.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
How did the affair between Kamala Harris and Willie Brown end?
That's what the question on the table is after his
quote that's going viral that if Kamala Harris is elected
quoting now now, she'll deport my ass.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Jonathan Martin, a writer for Politico, said he sat down
with the former speaker, former mayor Willie Brown and had
a nice lunch with him, and the topic was all
about Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, there was a talkback a woman who had
a great point. I was wondering and opining how Kamala
Harris's affair with Willie Brown and all the details about
it will play out in other parts of the country
that here in California were more liberal thinking in that regard.
And so it was kind of not a big deal.
It was just kind of fun to talk about. But
how would it play out in other areas that are
(03:37):
more conservative? And she had a great point that, well,
look at the guy on the other side, Donald Trump,
and look at all his dalliances and his issues, and
it just paints the perfect picture of we hold that
guy to a lower standard than everybody else.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Well, and to that point, I don't think this gains
a lot of traction. It's a little bit of a
soap opera aspect to her career, but I do think
it gains a lot of traction that she had. Yeah,
would you call it an affair, It's I mean, he
wasn't married, It's not like she wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It was a it was a political move in bed.
That's for a prolonged.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Period, for a very prolonged period of time. What's great
is again? Jonathan Martin, this writer for Politico, says that
they met at Les Centraal, a restaurant where Brown has
been taking the roast chicken with the French fries and
a side of cheap mustard a screwdriver on the rocks
in a wine glass every Friday since nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
His regular group started as a gang of six, including Herbcane.
If you're from the Bay Area, you know Herbcane. He
was a columnist. It was the best column I think. Well,
I'm biased, aren't I?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yes, but a great, great column Herbcane and his sense
of humor, and his just willingness to write in a skyline,
all of it. And Jonathan Martin says that he was
going to write about Willy Brown, how at a guy
at the age of ninety is still holding court, still
has political sway, especially in California, And he said that
(05:11):
was then. Obviously he talked with Willy Brown again after
Joe Biden dropped out of the race and threw his
endorsement behind, as did the rest of the Democratic Party
behind Vice President Harris.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Willy Brown has gotten forty eight media inquiries about Harris.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That seems low.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, well, when this went to print, forty eight media inquiries.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Again. I don't know how many people know about.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Her rise in California and that it's began with Willy
Brown appointing her to those state commissions and really getting
the ball rolling. As soon as more media outlets and
more cities find out about this they will come calling.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, that's very true. He Willie Brown has taken some credit,
at least for helping her political rise. He obviously endorsed
her for president. He's expected she sorry, is expected to
clinch the nomination very very soon. And he says, yes,
we dated. This was way back in a piece that
(06:11):
he wrote five years ago. He said, yes, we dated. Yes,
I may have influenced her career by appointing her to
two state commissions when I was Assembly Speaker, and I
certainly helped her win her first race for DA in
San Francisco. The leader of Hamas is smile Hania, was
assassinated in Iran. He was there to attend the inauguration
of Iran's new president. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but
(06:32):
we are all pretty certain it was Israel. Israel, of course,
vowed to kill this guy and other leaders of Hamas
after the October seventh attack in Israel that killed twelve
hundred people. Iran's supreme leader has said that he will
take revenge on Israel. Donald Trump returning to Pennsylvania today
(06:52):
for the first time since he was shot at at
a rally in Butler seventeen days after his assassination attempt.
The rally today will be the capital of Harrisburg, just
his third since the shooting and since he became officially
the Republican presidential nominee. Interesting Harrisburg.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Huh, harris will be announcing her running mate in Pennsylvania
as well. It'll happen on Tuesday. It's gonna be Josh Shapiro,
because how could it not be. You don't go to
Pennsylvania and then slap the people in the face by
not selecting their guy.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, it would be weird. Angels beat the Rockies last
night ten to seven. Dodgers lost to the Padres six
' five, and then they do a five forty start
tonight just before the deadline. By the way, Dodgers acquired
veterans starter Jack Flaherty coming back to the Southland in
exchange for a couple of prospects. He played at Harvard Westlake,
so hopefully bolster their pitching staff. Dodgers in San Diego,
(07:46):
as I said, to take on the Padres five to
forty first pitch. Listen to every play of every Dodgers
game on AM five to seventy LA Sports Live from
the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth and stream all the games
NHD on the iHeartRadio. I have to use that keyword,
AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, Well, Willie Brown has been a Democratic king
maker in California for decades, and Kamala Harris was one
of the people he crowned years ago, back in the nineties.
She was twenty nine, he was sixty, and he is
ninety years old now. He was an Assembly speaker, he
was a mayor of San Francisco, and has just been
(08:23):
kind of aka Nancy Pelosi, just the power player here
in California. And he said that he's gotten about fifty
media inquiries about Harris since Biden left the race. He
says he's no longer directly in touch with Kamala, but
he's got some suggestions about what should happen. He said
Biden should step down now so the country can see
(08:46):
Kamala as president before the election, give her a leg
up in that regard. He said Harris should avoid making
her history making identity central because the voters want her
to answer them that she ought to embrace her hazy
ideological categorization because if she keeps people continually guessing, then
(09:07):
she can just then she can adjust the interpretation of
your guests every time she sees you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And that's the thing with Kamlin Harris.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
That's the way she's operated her whole Career's just doing
whatever is going to get her into that next.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Seat, whatever's convenient.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Who knows what she actually believes.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And that's such an interesting piece of advice for him,
is to lean into that portion of it, to lean
into being ambiguous about certain policies. I mean, one of
the things that she talked about in this rally yesterday
was that she was touting her record on the border,
but it was while she was attorney general in the
state of California, not the appointed Finger quotes borders are
(09:52):
that she was under the current administration because the state
of California, there's only so much she can do as
the attorney general here when it comes to border policy
and border control. It's very weird, very strange version of that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
One of his main goals, Willy Brown is to unite
Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom so that they're not fighting
each other, so that they're not eating each other on
the national stage.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He says that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Gavin Newsom agreed a long time ago that under no
circumstance would he ever challenge Kamala. How do you make
that deal with Willy Brown? You promise me, you promise people?
Thinks Hey, Let I mean we saw it happen on
the national level with the DNC and Hillary Clinton. You know,
(10:43):
stand down now and Joe Biden for that man matters.
Stand down now. Let so and so take the crown
and in the future we'll support you with X, Y
and Z.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I mean, they're not doing it for free. Gavin Newsom
didn't fall in line and support Kamala for nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
So then this all, I guess comes to full circle
when Willy Brown was asked about the check that Donald
Trump wrote to a Kamala Harris campaign. Now, we know,
we've talked about it. Rich people, they spread their money around,
they cover all their bases, and it was a five
thousand dollars check. I think it wasn't It wasn't a
massive check by any means. But it was Willy Brown
(11:24):
that prompted the meeting in the first place, where he
claims that he was the first one to introduce Donald
Trump to Kamala Harris back in the nineties. When Trump
called Willy Brown to Manhattan because he wanted well, he
was there in Cambridge, he was given a speech at
Harvard and Trump sends the plane up to Massachusetts to
(11:48):
pick up Willie Brown bringing to Manhattan talk about developing
property in la and said, I know that if I
do anything in California, I gotta go through Willy Brown
because anybody else will take your money and do nothing.
So that was apparently I guess she was traveling with
Willy Brown at the time. Hello, and that became that
(12:11):
the impetus for the meeting between Kamala Harris and Donald
Trump back in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Brown is happy to say what he thinks about why
Trump has succeeded. He says, he's an entertainer and that's
all it is. He was very candid at lunch about
Kamala Harris, about worrying that she had the Hilary syndrome,
that people don't like her Fred it it was not fixable.
(12:36):
Little did Willy Brown know Kamala Harris was holed up
in the makeover closet getting polished and learning how to
speak like a human because she has come across more
likable than ever.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Well, and that could that could crack. I mean I
don't know, I could. I don't know if that's something
that lasts. I don't know if it's something that she
she falls back on. But at least these last few days,
it's been definitely different.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But he doesn't get into why he thinks if she's elected,
she'll deport his ass. To use his words, I guess
it had to be just something along the lines of
she doesn't like me, it was a relationship that ended,
and she doesn't want she doesn't want a reminder of
sleeping to the to the top. The Cambridge Dictionary has
added a bunch of words. I'm never a fan of
(13:24):
these stories. I don't like change. I don't like adding
new words, especially when they're slang terms from gen Z
because now I'm old.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The ick Do you know what the ick is? I
can imagine it's something that's bad.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
It's like when you're when you likes someone and then
they do something and then you don't like them anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's called the ick. Tell me about it. What do
you mean? Oh? Nothing? Boop? You know boop when I
bomb beyond the nose? Yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And affects it touch a gentle hit, or touch on
a person's or animal's nose or head, showing them you
like them, or as a joke, if you know, you know,
if you know, you know, all right, you know, uh,
this is my favorite one because this is applicable to us.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Face journey Okay, someone's.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Face journey is there a series of expressions as they
react to something in real time? Okay, we have wonderful
face journeys in here.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That is one. Yeah, that's one way to put chef's
kitch a kiss. You know that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
One gaming terminology is being added, like speed run to
complete a computer game or part of a computer game
as quickly as possible. Offline, it means to complete something
much faster than it's usually done. And then side quest.
Side quest is fun part of a computer game that
has its own aim and story, but not part of
the main game is say, offline, an example would be
(14:58):
buying shoes to complete an out when the main mission
was to shop for address would be.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
A side quest. Oh got it? You just hate yourself
right now? Do you have no idea? Later in the show,
we're going to be talking about one very strange, but
and unexpected Olympic love story. I love the Olympic Village loves.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
St Yeah, it's wonderful and it doesn't involve sex at
least that we know about.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Na. Yeah, the day is young. A bunch of fires
that continue to burn in California. The Park Fire is
by far the largest, of course, three hundred and eighty
nine thousand, seven hundred and ninety one acres right now,
according to CalFire. That's that makes up, by the way,
half of the acres that have burned so far in
(15:47):
the state. Half of them are just this one fire
that started near Chico and is now burning in Plumus,
Shasta and Tahima Counties as well, So three hundred and
ninety thousand roughly acres and it's still only about eighteen
percent contained. Some new evacuation orders have been issued for
Shasta County and they continue. Fire continues to grow a
(16:11):
little more than ten thousand acres or so overnight, but
the containment is still just under or just at eighteen percent.
This again in Arson fire. The guy who's been charged
with starting the fire was in court just a couple
of days ago. Did not enter aplee. He was upset
with his mother apparently, and torched her car and pushed
(16:32):
it down a ravine into a gully and that started
this three hundred and ninety thousand acre fire makes sense.
Sam Mariposa County, there's a fire that is called the
Pedro Fire that just started yesterday afternoon about one thirty
and they said that at one point they were potentially
looking at some evacuation warnings. They're in effect for the
(16:53):
north side of Highway one thirty two from her said
falls to Jones Road, so out in the Yosemite area.
The Nixon Fire is burning in the Riverside area, Riverside County,
near Aguanga. It has we have had.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
A lot of stories involving Aguanda, A Guanga, A Guanga. Yeah,
because you think I'd be able to say it correctly
because we've had so many stories.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, I was gonna say, because you want to get
into into star space, oh worse space wars, right, is
that right? There was either a yes, you're gonna name
a place. Firefighters got this callball twelve thirty near Nixon
Boulevard in a Guanga and within a few hours they
saw it spread to with one thousand acres five thousand
(17:37):
acres by yesterday with no with no with no containment.
As of this morning, they've only said that they've been
able to cut about five percent of fire line around that,
So we are still in a very very dangerous time.
We're seeing temperatures rise once again. So so this is okay,
(17:58):
I just this is distracted me for the last couple
of minutes. Yeah. Sarah Sidner from CNN is at this
National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago. Oh Man.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
This has gotten a lot of backlash with their decision
to have Trump speak there.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, Trump was invited to speak to this group. Members
of the organization said the invitation was inappropriate, that it
should be rescinded, and in fact that a co chair
of the event announced that she was going to step
down as a result of all of the turmoil in
all of this. Is that really a giant deal? I mean,
(18:36):
no idea, And what I mean is shouldn't shouldn't we?
As shouldn't we as Americans listen to these different viewpoints,
regardless of whether you don't have to like them. I
don't you have to change, you don't have to change
your mind, but you should at least listen to what
they have.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, I agree, but I think having somebody as a
speaker is kind of an anointing them in some way
to have them as your your speaker.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
At your invention. He's not the only speaker.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No, it's not like he's still you're giving him the stage.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's okay. I'm okay with that. And I'm kind
of surprised that they have I shouldn't say I'm surprised.
I don't like that they've gotten so uh, Pearl Clutchy.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Well as as they as some people would tell you,
it's not me saying it.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You don't get it. You don't get an opinion. I
don't have a vote in that.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And that No, as a white man, you don't get
to have an opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, that's what they would say. Not currently a member
of the National Association of Black Journalists.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Are you a member of any sort of journalist association? No, no,
So you don't even get to comment about the white
male journalists.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I do not convention.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
That's an excellent point, this one out, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Uh. The number of bird flu infections among Colorado chicken
workers has increased, well, poultry in general has increased. It's
up to nine now. CDC says there's a total fourteen
cases nationwide from exposure to poultry and dairy cattle since
twenty twenty two, and the cases in Colorado come from
a couple of farms located in Weld County, northeast of
(20:19):
the Denver area. The workers experience mild symptoms, including conjunctividis.
The CDC assessment of the risk of the public is
still low, but poultry workers who are tasked with culling
infected birds they say are at the ones are the
ones at a heightened risk of infection.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Boeing is naming Kelly Ortberg as its new president and CEO.
Here you go, Kels, Here's a giant pile of crap
for you to Inherit fun sifting through that way. Yeah,
the company is hoping that she can turn things around
because one person is going to fix the holes in
the plains.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, Well, sometimes when you rely on one person too much,
it gets a things go down hill.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's been five years since Tyler Skaggs, at age twenty seven,
was found dead in that hotel room in Texas with
fetanol in a system, rocking the world of baseball.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
July one, twenty nineteen. He was twenty seven years old.
What we know now about Tyler Skaggs is that he
had been taking pills basically all through his pro career.
When he made it into the minor leagues, after dealing
with injuries and things like that, he was able to
find sort of a pipeline for different kinds of opioids.
(21:38):
There was one.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Fall guy for this death, and his name was Eric Kay.
Eric Kay virtually he was ubiquitous around the Angels. He
worked in the communications department for years. He'd recently been
named its director, which was his dream job. Eric Kay
also had a drug problem of his own. He had
grown addicted to opioids and he was taking ten milligram
(22:04):
Norco pills.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
When he ran out.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was at spring training and he kind of started
asking around and there was a young pitcher that was
recently traded to the team, Tyler Skaggs, who came through
when Eric Kay showed up, pulled up to the house
to score some pills. He finds Tyler Skaggs and another
(22:28):
friend snorting percocet pills, not ten miligram but thirty milligram percocets.
He had never snorted the pills in his life, but
started to partake.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
This is the guy.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Who was sentenced to twenty two years in federal prison
for that fentanyl laced pill that killed Tyler Skaggs.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
This does not make sense well, and there's a couple
of things that his lawyers have said that they're going
to go for on appeal. Number one. Apparently, one of
the technicalities of his conviction in Texas was that the
pill had to be given to Tyler Skaggs while they
were in the state of Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
And he gave it to him when he was in California. Yeah,
which is a problem. The other thing is they claim
that they being Eric Kay's lawyers, they claimed that it
was Tyler Skaggs who was really the driving force behind
this thing. Because the way that they made it same
at least in court, prosecutors basically explained Eric Kaye was
(23:30):
the one who would procure these drugs. He would give
them to Tyler Skaggs and other players that at this
point are still unnamed. But when you go through and
they plan to bring this up on appeal, when you
go through Tyler Skaggs text messages and emails and communications
with other people, he was the one who had the
better sourcing of the pills and there were other players
(23:51):
that would come to him specifically and say, hey, can
I get some painkillers that aren't going to affect my
game too much? Twenty two years in federal prison, and
now I don't know what it's like to have a child.
I certainly don't know what it's like to lose a child.
So I don't pass judgment on this quote. The mother,
Tyler Skagg's mother says, it's not about the years, it's
(24:13):
just about the accountability.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What about the accountability of Tyler Skaggs, right, I mean,
and that's the fam I mean the fam.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I bet Tyler Skaggs if he was alive, he would
not want to see his friend go away for twenty
two years for an addiction that was alive and well
before he even knew that Eric Kaye liked pills too. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it's one of those things where the families in
Eric Hay's family is in a bad position because the
only I shouldn't say the only, but the main person
that they probably take issue with is the one who
died in this case. So it's not like they can
go to the Tyler Skaggs family and say that your
guy's responsible for my son.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But you know, this is a guy who's a forty
nine year old father of three that's going to be
in prison till twenty forty one because his his drug
buddy took a bad pill. You know, I'm going to
write down a little contract here, okay, and that's going
to say something like this to whom it may concern.
If Gary gives me a bad pill and I die,
(25:16):
please don't put him in prison. I took bad pill
on my own. That's that's on me, but signed me.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I won't give you pills.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
But if you did in the future. I don't know
what we're going to fall into in this show. I mean,
we're going to the DNC, We're going to Chicago. We
might see some things, we might somebody might get us
hooked on pills while we're there. And we come back
and we're jones in and you still have some left
and you give me one? And where did I get
(25:47):
the pills from something that we found in Chicago?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Somebody? I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.
I don't know what you have planned for that week,
but I think we're going to be pretty busy. From
don Patrol to sunset, Sesshon. The US Open is summer
in southern California. The Lexus US Open of Surfing presented
