This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Today.

This day in two thousand and two, I was at Evergreen Medical Center.

Kirkland, breastfeeding.

I was breastfeeding.

I was dealing with the birth of my daughter.

She was a day old today, twenty three years ago.

So I talked to her twice.

Yesterday, which was nice for her birthday.

So she was going to go out with friends last night, hang out, so.

It was nice.

I had just graduated college and was just starting this week at KFBK.

Really, yeah, in Sacramento, we are old, old people.

I don't look at it that way.

Yeah, I do see what I do, I see it.

I see it that way.

So President Trump is on Air Force one.

He is on his way to Anchorage, Alaska, which, despite what you may have heard, is not the capital of the state of Alaska, but it is the home to one of our joint military bases that's there.

So this is where the summit is going to take place between President Trump and Russian President putin this whole discussion about what we can expect out of this summit.

It's been pretty interesting.

I gotta say I was pretty surprised.

I'm not surprised, but Trump was pretty gracious about the whole Zelenski being left out of this whole loop as he was boarding Air Force one saying basically he'll let Ukraine decide about any sort of land swaps.

He said, I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine.

I'm here to get them at a table.

I thought that that was a magnanimous of him.

Well, it also, thankfully, I think, is the right word to say, lowers the expectations for what we can see today here.

By the way, Elmer, Yeah, everyone's lowering expectations.

You're over here.

It's not a.

They'll be discussed, but I've got to let Ukraine make that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision.

But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine.

I'm here to get him at a table.

And I think you.

Have two sides.

Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all of Ukraine.

If I wasn't president, he would right now be taking all of Ukraine.

But he's not going to do it.

General Wes, speaking of that lowered expectation, General Wesley Clark is the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, and he says all the goal of today is for the next meeting.

He's got low expectations.

He's set low expectations for this.

He really can be successful simply if there's no big public blow up and he gets a second meeting.

That's really all he needs.

Remember the last time the President Trump sat down with Zelenski and it did not.

Go well, went awful.

That they want to avoid that.

Well, that's not what it's going to be.

Listen, Putin is already won here.

Putin gets to be legitimized now.

Like I was saying yesterday, to say that Putin's not a world leader and a legitimate threat and power is just being silly.

He's an awful person, he's a war criminal.

We don't need to ask an answered.

But this does legitimize him in terms of the United States President sitting down and having a meeting with him.

It makes him a legitimate world power as opposed to just this world power that's in the darkness and no one will talk to him.

It gives him some presence on the world stage, which is why I feel like that's enough for them.

To give him.

If that's part of the bargaining chip, that's enough.

The idea that there would be a joint press conference with two podiums, to me.

Is nuts.

The fact that you would stand beside this guy and take questions like he's a legitimate person who you're gonna put on your level is crazy to me.

But he kind of I think your point is in order to get what he wants what in order for Trump to get what he wants, which is a ceasefire, he has to kind of lay out the carpet for the guy and treat him.

That's done though, that's done.

Taking the meeting I think is red carpet enough.

There's no reason for there to be.

And I don't think you know, this could be a five minute meeting, it could be three hours.

It's going to be at twelve thirty hour time.

They're both basically flying in and flying out.

Depending on how well it goes, maybe they stay a little bit longer.

But the plans are they fly in, they fly out.

It's like the Chargers going to Brazil twelve hours in, twelve hours out.

But anyway, you don't know what's going to happen.

I mean, you know, Trump and Putin may walk into the room.

Putin may say, hey, this is all for optics.

I'm not giving I want land, and Trump's to be like, no, I'm not here, you know what I mean.

Okay, we're not going to come to an agreement.

Goodbye.

It could be you know, ninety seconds, or they could make hay out of this thing and stay in the room and have lunch and have the joint press conference, and it'd be a big freaking day.

It would dominate the weekend if in fact it went like that.

If they did come out of it with some agreement on a ceasefire.

There's a problem, though.

You've got you've got a guy in Putin who has double middle fingered Trump over and over again over the last couple of months, where every time Trump would call Putin or Putin would call Trump or however those phone calls are made, they would discuss Trump at least would say I told him no more missiles, no more babies being killed, and then minutes or hours later Putin unleash is another barrage of missiles and owns into Ukraine.

And your point there is exactly why there's so much hanging on this meeting.

Because if any compromise is reached, if any solution is reached and Putin goes back on that after a face to face meeting, Trump will be scorched earth on that mffort, which is like it will be a global situation.

It will not be Trump's personal bugaboo.

It will be all of our problem.

Yeah, And that's interesting because he takes things so personally.

When you supposedly give him your word about something, whatever it is, and go back on your word, he usually lights you up early.

And he hasn't done that to a degree that a lot of people think he should.

We'll talk more about this because there's a couple more comments President Trump made on Air Force one on his way to Alaska, and then former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has some thoughts about this discussion and not Trump, but what Putin brings to the table in order to try to, you know, make his case against a see.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Wouldn't be August without a new fire to tell you about.

This one up near Acton.

About three hundred acres burned yesterday, threatening some structures at one point before Cruise got a handle on all of this.

Forward progress has stopped.

In the hawk fire they're calling it.

Flames were cutting through some medium medium brush over the afternoon, but by this morning, firefighters said at about three hundred acres they have forty two percent containment.

I mentioned the handful of earthquakes that hit the Geyser area early yesterday morning.

They said that more than one hundred earthquakes were recorded near the geysers out near Healsburg Cloverdale area, northern California.

The largest was about a four point ero, but one hundred and seventeen quakes that they the vast majority of them are tiny, so small that you wouldn't notice, And the guys are not unusual to have a swarms of earthquakes like that.

Tonight, It's gonna feel like playoff baseball around here.

The Dodgers take on the Padres at Dodger Stadium, first pitch at seven.

Listen to all Dodger games on AM five to seventy LA Sports live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth, and stream all Dodgers games NHD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword, AM five seventy LA Sports and it is the Demon Slayer hat giveaway tonight, which is going to be Baananas what like the Demon Hunters.

It's like the K pop thing it is.

I don't know I made that up, but it seems it sounds.

Like very similar, very similar, very similar.

So there.

This isn't like when I mistook El Salvadoran Night for Honduras Night, because I got in big trouble for that one.

I hope that's different.

Uh, we are going to be talking about the pod different country.

I know, it's a whole thing, just like a Demon Hunter and Dream and Slayer.

Very different.

But hey, listen, we're going to talk to somebody about how the Dodgers Padres rivalry has become one of the hottest in baseball, how that happened, the differences in culture, and just how the programs are run.

We're going to find somebody who works here down at the sports station to come on with us.

Do they coming up next hour?

Oh?

We are yeah.

Oh I assume somebody will be in the building.

We'll see.

It's a Friday.

It's very touch and going.

I attendance.

Please do not take roll call.

We also Michael Monks is going to join us.

A little bit.

Next hour, we have to talk about what happened yesterday.

Governor Newsom of course started his presidential campaign with a very very rally like appearance to kick off the redistricting campaign.

I have a rant about this, and outside or nearby there were immigration and Customs enforcement officers out there doing an immigration operation.

This was an awful thing that happened in Monrovia yesterday, where there's a group of day labors that show up for work every day at the home depot there right next to the two ten.

There was word that made it through the crowd that immigration raids were happening.

This guy takes off, jumps a fence to the freeway, is hit and killed by a car.

Awful.

Now, if Gavin Newsom has any smarts or balls, or a combination of the two, he will capitalize on this.

He will capitalize on the fact that Trump's raids led to the fear that drove this man into oncoming traffic.

That's what people care about.

That's the message that he should take to Trump.

This whole redistricting dog and pony show, nobody cares about.

It stirs up ero emotions, it steers up ero base You want to prove to democrats across the country you can take on Trump.

Take this issue up.

Go to Monrovia today, Go stand outside of that home depot, Go be with that man's family that says, you know this, The only thing this man did illegally was come to this country to better.

Hopefully that's the case and he doesn't have a raption a mile long.

But if the case is the only thing he was doing here illegally was simply being here, that's what you need to run with, Gavin.

Not this redistricting crap no one cares about.

They got excited about it.

We'll talk with Michael Munk's next hour.

Of course, President Trump is headed to Alaska on Air Force one what he calls this high stakes summit with Vladimir Putin, trying to work out or at least get closer to a ceasefire deal for Ukraine, help end the deadliest war that we've seen in Europe since.

World War Two.

Secretary of State Mike Pompid Mike Pompeo was a Secretary of State under the first term of President Trump, and he said he doesn't trust Vladimir Putin at all.

I just I don't trust the darn thing he says.

My sense is that he is playing to the President, trying to create conditions that will give the President the space to do what President Putin would like to have done.

But he's misreading President Trump.

I think fundamentally, he's misreading the fact that President Trump understands who the aggressor is here.

He knows the President Zelenski has already agreed to a ceasefire, and then President Putin has steadfastly rejected that, and that while they're meeting, there's likely to be missiles in the air still killing Ukrainian kids.

We can often be surprised by what happens in these meetings.

I hope there's a positive surprise that comes out of today.

It'd be a great thing for the United States of America.

But I'm deeply skeptical of President Putin has demonstrated any willingness to.

Compromise a couple of cuts.

By the way, from President Trump on Air Force one.

Look, he's a smart guy, been doing it for a long time, but so have I been doing it for a long time.

We get along, there's a good respect level on both sides, and I think you know something's going to.

Come of it.

Here's the weird part.

I guess there are other people coming with President Putin to this discussion.

We get along, there's a good respect level on both sides, and I think you know something's going to come of it.

I notice he's bringing a lot of business people from Russia, and that's good.

I like that because they want to do business.

But they're not doing business until we get the worst out.

Of President Trump has said of Russia many times, or I should say he has expressed admiration not just for the way Russians do business, but because there's a metric s ton of land that's available, and real estate is his love language.

No no, I mean yes, yes, yes, And and Trump has done business in Russia since the late eighties.

He went to Russia to get dollars when he couldn't secure them in the United States for his projects.

He is tied very closely business with business in Russia.

His business ties in Russia are deep, and they go back decades.

And frankly, the US and Europe are also tied to Russia when it comes to money.

This isn't as simple as wow, he's a horrible person.

Let's cut him off in energy.

All of it production all of that stuff, and that I think that's why President Trump on the campaign trail was saying, obviously, you know I'm going to end this day one, and he couldn't.

He can't because of all of those intricate ties between himself, right, and his family, Europe and Russia.

And money to be made in the future.

He doesn't want to shut the door on that as well.

I mean, this is.

In terms of low expectations, the idea that even Trump today said the best outcome today is a second meeting, so that that kind of tempers the expectations, not a great shot of getting any sort of a ceasefire deal or anything like that.

So anyway, again that takes place the meeting.

It's else supposed to take place right near the end of our show.

But if there's any news that comes out of Anchorage, we'll definitely bring it to You're.

Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

It is Friday, It's August fifteenth, So we will later in the show be doing what you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.

So if you learned anything, anything smart, anything unnecessary, But if you learn anything, you can leave us a talk back message.

When you're listening on the app, you hit that little button and it leaves us a quick message.

Just tell us what you learned this week while you were listening.

What did you learn.

That you.

Don't like talking about aliens when you have to urinate?

Okay, I guess, I guess it was on this show.

That was after the show.

And sometimes when you have to pee, it's hard to focus on anything nobody, especially when you're like in the wild, you know, and the place where you're at the bathrooms are out of order, and you know, which.

Is weird because I went earlier.

I went when we first got there and they were fine.

You think I'm going to get ultimate dump in there and shut down the.

Whole bathroom circuit like Carrie Bradshaw or something.

Have you seen this at all?

Yes?

Okay, wait, wait are you talking about the last episode, the season finale where the toilet?

Oh?

Yeah, how do you know about that?

Because it's in every headline and every tabloid about how awful, What an awful way to end an awful show.

It was awful, The scene was awful, The show was awful.

I was thinking about this on the way in because I saw the headline and just like that is over, and man, am I relieved?

And I think this is the Sex and the City's Yeah, And I thought exactly, because if you grew up with Sex and the City, it's your drug and you have a loyalty towards it as a woman, and you are going to consume every product that they make for you, including the third season.

Of and just like that, which we all did and we hated.

Every moment was awful.

The writing was awful, the fashion wasn't even that good, the plot lines were bad, the relationship issues were awful, and yet we had to It was like it was like Heroin, where you're done taking Heroin, but you feel like you still have to take it.

That's what that show was.

So today, now that we've all watched the season finale and that's the last season, we're done with it, and there's this sense of relief of I.

Don't ever have to watch that again.

I don't ever have to do that bad Heroin until they do some sort of prequel to it.

No, they're done, they know they're done.

Okay.

Good Tech bros and tech bosses have been rattled by security threats over the last couple of years, and I think of the biggest names that you can think of, Think Mark Zuckerberg, Think Jeff Bezos, think Elon Musk, and they are spending individually millions and in some cases tens of millions of done just to keep themselves and their families secure.

There have been a couple of headlines recently about Mark Zuckerberg and his place up in I want to say it's it's Palo al To adjacent.

I don't remember exactly what the little tiny suburb is, but he bought like eleven homes in one small neighborhood so that he could have his close, he and his family, his wife's families close, not next door, but close.

Are you serious?

Yeah?

I had never heard this eleven home.

I think it's eleven, so bought not like eleven in a row, but I mean eleven that are all around the corner from each other.

God, and one of them I think has turned into basically the school, private school for his kids that he's that he's put up.

Think about Elon Musk.

Elon Musk travels with almost two dozen security people.

That's not.

A reception, not reception as secretaries or note takers.

Or whoever he would have assistance that he would have.

Next, we're talking security people, twenty security people.

Following his stint at the White House because of all of the heat that he took for those first few months that he was working with the Trump administration, Mark Zuckerberg spends about twenty seven million dollars a year on protection for himself and his family.

I wonder how much.

I don't know about the private protection world, but I'm sure people listening do.

If you were just to have like one security guard escort you to and from wherever you're working, you know, or on the weekend, I guess with your family, is it like hiring a nanny?

Is it?

I would think it'd be like hiring nanny, like one hundred thousand dollars a year, fifty thousand dollars a year for people that spend that kind of money on around the.

Clock protection or well it de Ken's now you say a round the clock?

Are you talking twenty four hours?

That's the thing I'm thinking about like home healthcare right that will run you one hundred thousand dollars a year.

So yeah, I mean round the clock.

I guess it parked outside or what have you.

I have a hard time.

I have a hard time figuring out twenty seven million dollars a year on protection.

I guess you're flying them, so wherever you're flying, sure they live with you.

There's a whole team of them.

So I mean that's at.

The size of your family.

I mean, Elon Musk, I'm assuming probably pays for some amount of protection for every one of his kids.

He's got at least eleven.

I think something like that.

Wow, Zuckerberg has a couple of kids, but he's got a big family.

How much do you pay for protection for your family?

Ah?

You have that ring camera?

Right?

How much that run?

You?

Undred bucks?

Buckle?

Years ago?

Okay?

Jensen Wong, the executive of Nvidia, he increased his security spending, almost doubled it.

It's now at three and a half million dollars.

He was concerned about his name being out there because of the deals that he's been able to get into and because of the lobbying of the Trump administration over exports to China.

It's not just you know, the stalker, the people who are angry.

It goes as far as people who have tried to assassinate these tech moguls.

I would not be surprised.

Elon Musk told shareholders last year that he had two attempts on his life in the previous seven months leading up to that shareholders meeting, and that he spends two point four million on just his security.

There is, for example, Jeff Bezos.

Bezos spends about a million or Amazon I should say, spends about a million six to protect Jeff Bezos and now his wife Lauren Sanchez, the CEO.

Could you even name the CEO of Amazon?

No, not Jeff Bezos, but the current CEO.

He has a secure already budget of one point one million dollars a year.

How much and how much does that increase after the Louis Mangioni case out of New York where he shot and killed the CEO of United Healthcare.

Granted it's a different industry, but the idea that a CEO could potentially be a target because of someone's political stance or you know, feelings about a specific industry, you take.

It out on one individual person.

Have you heard about the catfishing scam that is embroiled women's golf?

Here is the gist of the con social media user, A fan of a specific golfer scam account impersonating that athlete, reaches out and quickly moves the conversation to Telegram or WhatsApp.

Scammer offers an experience, a desirable object, maybe a dinner, maybe a tournament, something like.

That, for a fee.

The social media user will give cryptocurrency or gift cards, and then the scammer disappears.

This is a subset of people that I'm concerned about, people that are that fanatical about women's golf that will go.

And it's not that I don't think it's the game itself.

It's that that a lot of these women are attractive.

Oh so like male golfers.

That's the only reason people watch male golf.

Guys are hot, look good in the outfits, you know, watch it for their athletic prowess.

Come on, Gary and Shannon will cone like they're real athletes.

They just look good.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

There is an increased demand for dog wolf hybrids in the pet world.

Don't need to tell.

You that that is a problem if that is become the pet dajour can't have wolves running around with urban moms.

What if I cross bred my Scottish terrier with a wolf.

That would be cool.

Scottish wolf.

That would be fun.

That would be fun.

We should do that.

Does that dog still have its baby making stuff?

No?

No, we'd have to do some sort of cloning operations, some sort of Petritish thing.

Yeah.

Aaron has become a Category one hurricane, expected to strengthen very quickly this weekend, potentially to a major category for hurricane.

After it leaves the Caribbean.

Aaron is expected to set its sight on the East coast of the US.

They're talking about the severity of the impact is going to depend obviously on the track of the eye of the storm.

They do expect high surf, heavy rain expected basically from Georgia up through possibly New York, even if Erin never makes landfall.

Along the East coast.

There's a catfishing scam.

Oh wait, before you get to catfishing.

But we're talking security, right about corporate security, Gary and Shannon.

So you're looking for the corporate and exit kative security world.

One person that has law enforcement or military background.

A company will charge anywhere between sixty to eighty dollars an hour for them, and they're armed and have a lot of experience, and then that's just for an eight to ten hour shift.

And then if you're looking to cover their medical expenses over time all that stuff, they're a full time employee, that's about one hundred and fifty thousand a year for one person.

So it can add up fast.

There you go.

You can hire somebody for about a book fifty Okay, it makes sense.

That makes sense.

Yeah, all right, So I told you, well, I didn't know.

You don't know.

Well, that's why you asked the question, that's why you google.

All right, So there's a con going on out there where apparently I didn't know this, but women's golf has the very devoted, fanatical fan base, and now scammers are realizing that and taking advantage of it.

Let's see, Rodney is open and ram account with the handle LPGA fanatic six' five one two quickly followed some verified accounts for female golfers and a few other accounts that looked official within twenty minutes of creating his.

Account by the, Way, Rodney indiana native sixty two years, old big, golfer huge pan of a fan of THE, Lgp Jesus Marian Jose ladies.

Korda, hi handsome, FACE i know this is like a dream to.

You thanks for being a.

Fan read THE dm.

Now the Real kelly Nor Nelly corda was not Messaging, rodney And, rodney by the, way does not really.

Exist the athletic created this to try to test the rumor that this is going on.

This social media.

Social media user is a fan of a specific golfer scam that accounts of impersonating the, athlete reaches out quickly moves the conversation to another.

Platform scammer offers some object private, DINNER, vip access to a, tournament something like, that all of it for a, fee and then they ask for the.

PAYMENT i just need to cover the cost of the, something and that, fee of course comes via crypto or gift.

CARDS i, mean it all boils down to at its, bones it's always the.

Scam it's just ever dressed in a different.

OUTFIT i JUST.

I have a hard time overcoming these mental.

Hurdles why would you think a professional golfer is interested in you and WOULD dm you On?

Instagram and why would she need?

Money why are any of these explained away with JUST i want to believe That Jerry rice would slide into MY dms and be, Like, Hey I'm Jerry.

Dollars.

Wow the agent For rojang had to confront the guy and, say, sorry, sir but that Wasn't rose that you were talking, to AND i don't know where your money.

Is that's.

Awful.

Now one of the things that happens, is AND i think you're going to see this specifically more with college athletes and their, name image and.

Likeness, listen it's it's hard to ignore the fact that female college athletes are using their bodies to get attention on social, media and some of them have turned that into very lucrative.

Careers but with that comes the threat of your images being used for scams just like, this And LADIES pg has played up the fact that they have a lot of, young attractive women now playing golf that maybe.

Wasn't they weren't being paid attention to the way they.

Were they weren't being paid attention to twenty years ago the way they are.
