It's Camp I Am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
the Santa Nita has opened as well, so if you
want to get out there and enjoy it, there's races
all weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're gonna going up. We got city Hall.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The guy that plowed his car into city Hall, he's
on the phone right now with the negotiators. So that's
a big deal. The negotiators are talking to the guy
right now. I don't know how they got his number,
or maybe he called them, I don't know, but somebody
the cops are talking to the guy who plowed his
car into city Hall. The Chevron fire refinery at the
(00:39):
fire at the refinery is another big story we're covering.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We're gonna have some more information on that.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I P.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Diddy four years in state prison, four years and this
end today as well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Hamas has agreed to release all the Israeli hostages. That's
a big story, all of them. So let me just
write a note down here. All the hostages are going
to be released by Hamas. That could be the beginning
of peace in that area. So that's a major, major story.
(01:15):
And we're covering all of them, and then we got
the air show going on this weekend. That's a big
story too. It's in Huntington Beach, so we got lots
going on, lots going on. The local stories here are
the guy that plowed his car into city Hall, the
refinery at Chevron, and those are the two big stories
we're covering.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And then Pete Ditty's sort of a local story.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Even though he was being prosecuted in New York, a
lot of that mischief happened in Los Angeles. So we
got those three big stories, and hamas the international story.
We're going to cover all of those. Let's go to
Chevron El Segundo. The residents knew immediately last night what
was going on. They're very familiar with that.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
If you talk to a longtime residents here in this neighborhood,
when they heard it and they felt it, they tell
us they knew what it was.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I was in my living room and all of a
sudden boom.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
This is what Liz Spear and your neighbors saw and
heard last night around nine point thirty, coming from the
Chevron refinery down the street from there, Elsa Gundo neighborhood.
The explosion and fireball lit up the evening sky. Liz
describes what those few seconds during and after the explosion
felt like.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I thought the front corner of near the front door
that faces the refinery was kind of shaking.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I thought, I about that. You have a front door
that faces the refinery. Every time somebody comes over, it's like, hey,
park near the refinery.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What how close are you? About? Twenty feet? Does that
bother you? Oh, we don't talk about it much.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Corner of near the front door that faces the refinery
was kind of shaking.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I thought earthquake.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Front door facing the refined, but it seemed weird.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So I was kind of pausing to get my bearings
to see if more rolling or shaking happened. And then
my two windows on the side of the house facing
the refinery.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Happened more facing refinery. Everything faces the refinery with this woman?
Does she live in the middle of the refinery? Is
it like the movie Big?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Not Big? What was it up? The movie up?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Where there's building, you know, the building all around this
guy's house. Is she like the one that didn't sell
in her houses in the middle of the refinery? Her
front door face of the refinery, and the windows on
the side face the refinery, So she's got at least
two exposures to the refinery.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Two windows on the side of the house facing the refinery.
I had blackout blinds down lit up a reinery.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Justin Brent also lives down the street from the refinery.
He told us he and his wife were watching TV
last night when they heard the explosion and felt it.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The house shook, actually came outside it and it was
I wonder, when when is the last.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That goes off there at the refinery enough where you
finally say, f it, let's get out.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is it two more? Eight more? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I think for the first one with me and my
wife would be like, you know what, let's look at
uh San Diego maybe, uh, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Parker Arizona, Hey, that's your opportunity to come out to
the same Redina man.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
In the Ilant Empire, you don't hear this going on
in the Inland Empire, nothing like this.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It was warm.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
You could feel the heat from the actual fire here
on the intersection.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What it was warm.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You could feel the heat from the actual fire here
on the intersection. He lives close enough to feel the
heat of the fire. Nope, in the refinery, and how
do you sleep at night? How do you go to bed?
And doesn't everything in your house smell like oil or gas?
Will you just lose your sense of smell after a while?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Woof?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There have been no reports of any damage to property
away from the refinery. They also going to mayor says
there were no orders sent out to residents to shelter
in place or to evacuate.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's, by the way, that's payday for the Elsagundo mayor.
That's when he makes his big bucks when he has
to come out and tell everybody things are okay, They're
going to be fine, you know, back in your house,
we got this under control. That's when he knows he's
earning every dime that they pay him that year.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
We did send updates by a NIXEL to let people
know what was happening, and we sent updates, especially at
air quality, and again this morning with the school district
to let him know like, hey, we've got an all
clear and school will proceed and the roads will be open.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
And the one thing that may are emphasized what things
were back to normal this morning? And again Finery Live
and Elsa Gundo I said Garcia, ABC seven Eye Witnessed news.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
All Right, the workers describe what happened out there last
night as we all watched it on TV.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
The explosion at the Chevron refinery broke out just after
nine pm here in El Seguntra right. It sent huge
flames shooting into the air. The fire could be seen
from across the South Bay. There were no mandatory evacuations,
but there was a shelter in place order from Manhattan
Beach that has since been lifted. Elsa Gundo Fire and
fire crews from the refinery responded.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We spoke exclusively with.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
The person who was working on site. Listen to their reaction.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Did I know I hear like a big like it
was like a like like this guy? Wo there it
is like what did I know? I hear like a
big What was it? Yeah? It was not a song?
Booh there it is. It's not about the refinery. Woosh.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Share it is Share it is who sings that song?
You know you know that I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right, Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, yeah, Share it is. I'm gonna keep doing the team. Okay,
I'm gonna keep doing this to Brian long cos s.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
Line phone, Yeah, I was just didn't do it for
like a minute. Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
All right, David Vassay is what does the say? Hey
kid with the Los Angeles Dodgers. David Vassay, Hi you, Bob.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I'm doing great. I'm in Philadelphia at the bank as
they pull it out here in Philly. The Dodgers just
finished their workout and getting ready for Game one of
a big titan showdown between the Dodgers and Phillies.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Buddy, I was so happy to watch the Dodgers double
up on the Red on the red Legs as they
used to call them, and then double up on them again,
you know, to ass kickings.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That's what they needed to do. And honestly, Tim, in
that wildcard round that they have now, the Reds backed
into the playoffs and a lot of people felt like
they weren't even good enough to be considered a playoff team.
So the Dodgers handled their business. And this is the
series that everybody has been waiting for for the last
(08:11):
three years. That's right, whether it's the Dodgers being knocked
out or the Phillies being knocked out, we just haven't
had it and here it is a best of five
nlds and a lot of people believe that whoever wins
this series is going to win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Okay, here's my prediction on the Dodgers Phillies series. Okay,
You've got Otani, who ended the regular season I think
sixteen with a scoreless innings, sixteen and two third scoreless innings,
so he's all rest and ready to go. Then you
have Glass now who was ready to pitch against the
Reds but he didn't pitch, so he's ready to go.
(08:47):
And then you got snell Zilla and if they squeak
one out, you got Yamamoto. There's no way the Phillies
are going to destroy all four of those pitchers. This
might be a three game suite.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It could be. And there's a lot of pressure on
the Phillies because this group has been together and knocked
on the door for the last four years. There's a
very good chance if they lose this series, they may
not have another chance to come back together on the
same team. Their catcher JT. Realmudo is a free agent,
their slugger Schwarber is a free agent. And the way
(09:22):
that Dodgers are going to line up their spectacular starting
pitching is have show hailed Tani start game one, but
also have one of their starters be ready out of
the bullpen, and like you mentioned, Tyler Glass now is
going to pitch and relief tomorrow night after Otani and
also be ready to start game four. Blake Snell is
(09:43):
going to start Game two, which is going to be
on Monday, and then Game three as the series shifts
back to La. It will be Yamamoto on a week
of rest, and that's vital because Japanese pitchers are used
to a week of rest and the Dodgers have done
that all year for him, So he's going to have
(10:04):
a week of rest coming off that great pitch game
last night.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, So even if they do get you know, they sneak,
you know, a game out, you still got yam Mamoto.
And if it wasn't for Paul is it named Paul Skeens.
If it wasn't for Paul Skeins, he would have won
the Golden he would have won the Cy Young.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Without a doubt. And we're gonna see another one of
those cy Young candidate dates tomorrow night, facing the Dodgers
and Christopher Sanchez but I feel like it's been a
lot of East Coast bias, people over hyping this guy right,
And I have no doubt the Dodgers are going to
score some runs off this guy. And if the Dodgers
score early and give Otani an early lead, it's going
(10:50):
to be a lot of anxious fans here in Philadelphia.
And not to mention, this is going to help the
Dodgers being on the road with starting because he is
going to hit before he pitches the games.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's great. I didn't even think about that. That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So he could give himself a one nothing lead if
the Homers to start the games, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Hey what did what did ta oscar after he blew
it in right field the other night?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Was he upset about that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah? You know what. I didn't even have to bring
it up. He brought it up to me on the
field after the game was over, and he felt worse
than anybody, but wanted to redeem himself and he did.
He drove in two runs. So if you're a hockey
guy plus minus, he was maybe a plus two or three.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You know, if I was Yamamoto, I would choke the
team because they never support this guy.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Well, they they did in that game and they were
able to get.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
In that's right, but they don't normally.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
He could have finished that seventh inning if ta Oscar
makes that.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Cat, absolutely yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
So what is the You know, first of all, I
think we owe Philadelphia, you know, a gut punch for
what they did to us in football last year with
the Eagles and also this year. You know they ram
should have won that game as well. But how is
the atmosphere in Philadelphia? Is everyone into it? Everyone crazy?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I'll just put it to you this way, Tim. The
Phillies have had five days off because they had a
first round by good, so to stay sharp, they held
a practice game two nights ago here in Philadelphia. Thirty
one thousand fans showed up for an inner squad scrimmage.
So yes, this city is ready to explode. And everybody
(12:45):
walking around the city had a Phillies T shirt on
or an Eagles had on. So it's a big Philly
sports weekend. We got the NLDS starting Tomorrow night, the
Eagles are at home hosting the Denver Broncos, and then
Monday night game two of the LDS. So sports here
in Philly and Phillies.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They really do.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I mean, look, I hate the Philly teams like I
should being a Dodger fan and a Rams fan. But
they really do have very good, supportive lifelong fans there.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh it's uh this city, Boston, New York, Chicago special.
It's different special out here.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
Chicago.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
They're kind of losing fan base out there, Tim, They're
not really as great. Yeah, there, they have that loser's
mentality in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
All right.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Hey, when you travel with the Dodgers and you go
back east, do they still charter?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Do they still have two planes?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
They do? The players were on their own plane, and
staff and family were on my plane. And I'm at
a different hotel than the players as well.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I can hear it in your voice. You're thrilled about it.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I got here, Tim, that's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
There's no respect at home.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That's great. It's all good. It's all good. The players
need to focus. It's what they did last year and
they won the World Series, so they're doubled down. They're
going to double down on that travel plan.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I think it should be I think you should treat
it as the huge compliment it is when the Dodgers
win either the wild Card or their division, that they
always find you and douse you with champagne aggressively.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I think that's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Thank you. I appreciated it. Some of the guys were
telling me that as well, like they they want they
want me to be part of the celebration. That Blake
trin in spraying maybe was a little bit too much
over the top. I felt like he was taking out
the bullpen frustrations out on me right there. But I'll
handle it and keep moving forward.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Did Blake Trindon is the guy that put that embroidered
Charlie Kirk on his hat?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Did they make him take that off?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I think he chose to. I just I don't. Yeah,
he chose to write that on his hat in San
Francisco a few weeks ago. But honestly, I don't think
anybody really really wants politics to bleed into their game.
Look that. I just don't think that's what they wanted
(15:24):
to do exactly. Here's something for you, Conway T. K Hernandez,
after that hurricane hit Puerto Rico back in twenty seventeen,
wrote Praying for Puerto Rico. And that was during the
National League Championship Series, right, Major League Baseball find him
for just writing on praying for my home. Yeah, he
(15:45):
got fined for writing that on his hat.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Oh that's horrible. I mean, what a great guy. I
love that Key khurdand is. You know, he could have
played for another team and probably made some more money,
but he's he you know, he has a family. He
wanted to keep his kids hit here and his wife
here and everything. I really respect that move.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, he's a great guy and a great October player.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, he's a great October player, buddy. This is going
to be very exciting to watch Philadelphia and the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
It's going to be the premiere series.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It is. This is the series that many people believe
will determine who goes on to win the World Series.
Tim and the Dodgers owe the Phillies some paidback because
the Phillies have been the Dodgers in each of the
last three playoffs series they have faced each other, going
back to nineteen eighty three, two thousand and eight, and
two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Let me ask you a quick question. I know you
got to go.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Padres get a really poor call on what should have
been a ball and a walk at the end of
in the ninth inning of the Cubs game and they
got eliminated. Did you feel bad for the Padres or
did you feel happy when you saw that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I did not have emotions of happiness, and I didn't
feel bad for them. I just a lot of people
were doubting the Padres this year that they could make
a deep run, and it just kind of played out
that way. I actually feel like it might be a
Dodger's Cubs and LCS.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh great, Okay, that would be terrific.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I on the Cubs.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh oh that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. Right,
that's gonna be That could be a great series as well.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Buddy. I've never felt really.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Confident about the Dodgers, you know, because I'm not confident
about any sports team. I'm always very nervous. But I
don't see how Philadelphia is going to beat this Dodger team.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I'm with you. I feel like people in LA don't
realize how great and talented this team is and how
well they're playing right now. You're right, this is this
is one of those teams when we look back on
it in the next ten to twenty years, we're gonna
say like, those are one of the greatest Dodger teams ever,
and they have a chance to write themselves and separate
(17:58):
themselves from every other Dodger team if they win the
World Series again, right, being coming the only back to
back champions in Dodger history.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
And I have a feeling that the Dodger owners, like
they've been doing consistently over the last you know, ten years,
are going to go out and look for even more
talent during the offseason like they did last year.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
They're not stopping tim that's for sure. The Dodgers owner
just bought the Lakers, so they have the resources. The
only thing that could stop them is a new collective
bargaining agreement, but that's a year plus away.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Right, That's the only way they get to be stopped
is to have handcuffs put on them.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, buddy, I be better. That's right, That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I really appreciate you coming on Safe Travels and and
and again, I love how big a part you are.
I've seen a lot of reporters inside the locker room
for Lakers, Kings, Dodgers, Rams, and I don't see anybody
that has the affection show towards you, like towards a
reporter like they do you nobody.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Thank you, Tim, I really appreciate it. I'm really lucky
that they've included me as much as they have. And
it's part of the working relationship, the ecosystem that needs
to be had so we can share their personalities with everybody.
That's always my goal is to show and humanize these guys.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, exactly right, buddy. I love your connection with the Dodgers.
I'm glad you are. You call us and you never
say no, and you always share it with us. I
really appreciate man.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Ding Don Conway you all right.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Thanks, Bob. All right?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
There he goes, David vas say with the Los Angeles
Dodgers in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
What a job that guy has.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
He grew up as the biggest Dodger fan in the world,
ten times bigger than I ever was. And he travels
with the Dodgers. Well maybe not on the same plane
when they go to the playoffs, but he travels with
the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
He travels, he's in the air at the same time
they are.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, he's with all the babies and the wives. He's
with the baby and the wives.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Can you hold can you hold my child here?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's right, that's what's going on with them. What a guy,
What life that guy's got going on there?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
It is.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demayo from KFI
AM sixty dig Dong with you a.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We're gonna get to all the big tour stories in
the news. We've got the lunatic at City Hall. We're
gonna have an update with Chris Christy. We also have
the Chevron fire that happened last night. We have another
update on that. And then we have p Diddy four
years in state prison, and Hamas has decided to release
(20:41):
all of the Israeli hostages.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
That could be.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
The very beginning of peace in the Middle East, or
at least in that area.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I have hope. I have hope.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I know there's been a lot of fighting in that
area for quite some time, but I think that's the
first step to getting that resolve and rebuilding that part
of the world. And then on the not so breaking news,
the Dodgers are playing this weekend Saturday and Monday, and
the air show is today, Tomorrow and Sunday in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So it's a big deal going on.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And my buddy Ted Zigenbusch, who's the world premiere handicapper
and all of horse racing, just nailed the super high
five in the last race. If you boxed the six, nine,
five eighty four in the last race today at Sant Nita,
it would cost you one hundred and twenty dollars to
do them, and you would have gotten back seven eight
hundred and thirteen dollars. Now, if you just did the
(21:41):
SuperFect that they'll cost you twelve dollars and you would
have gotten back two hundred and fifty nine dollars. If
you did the trifector, you would cost you twenty four
dollars and you would have had nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And fifty eight dollars. What would you have done?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I would have done probably two of those three. I
wouldn't have done the super high five. So it's one
hundred and twenty bucks and I don't have that kind
of money. My wife would care.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Is that a big stack for me?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, one hundred and twenty As you say, one hundred
and twenty big ones. Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Is a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
You're the only person I know in the world that
refers to a dollar as a big one.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Because I value a dollar. Really did your dad Your
dad was a big horse guy. Yeah. Did he refer
to the dollar as a big one?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
No? No, because it's not It's my thing, not your thing, Okay.
Ted Siggenbosch is the best handicapper I know. He constantly
is picking horses that are twenty to one, thirty to one,
that are finishing first. I love horse racing and I
always follow that man's tips. That guy's the best. You
want to you can join his his email list if
(22:46):
you want. It's free, and you could have made seventy
eight hundred dollars today if you just followed his picks.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
But you didn't, so.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Just email him just to say, I want to be
on your on your list. I want to be on
your your handicap list. It's Ted Ziggy at aol dot com.
It's free. He doesn't charge anybody a dime. The nicest
band in the world. He used to work here on
coast one of three point five. He did love songs
and he truly is one of the nicest men I've
ever met my life period. Ted t ed z I
(23:18):
g g Y at aol dot com. Ted Ziggy at
aol dot com say Hey, please put me on your
handicap list and you can make a couple bucks that.
Oh you worked with him Krozer, didn't you? You work
with Ted with zig and Bush, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I did.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
I was when I started. I started at Coast and
I was their only board of because you know, they
just needed it for like public affairs programs on the
weekends and when we did remotes, and we used to
do got a Disney remote almost every month where they
where they would do like love songs, and Karen Sharp
would be out there and Ted Zigbush would be out there,
so I'd be back at the studio running the love
(23:55):
songs and he and I would always coordinate. I've never
seen him blow up at anybody, No, not one. His
voice matches his temperament.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, everybody. The sweetest man in the world.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, and and the guy that really the only guy
in my opinion, some women do it really well, but
the only guy that can pull off doing love songs.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's a real tight rope. Yeah. And he did it
definitely like he was. Yeah, he was. He was so
synonymous with it in my head. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, always,
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Did you ever bang on him to do a love song,
a dedication while you're on a date all the time.
When I first got out here, I was like, I think,
oh that's great.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Hey, Ted, Hey Karen? Did you play this song at
right around this time? Dedicated to Bonnie from Krozier.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
This one goes out to.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Oh that's so great, so cheesy and so great. God, buddy, Look,
we've got to all use our tools. It was a
I want not you got to use every tool in
your tool chest.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
No guy would turn that opportunity down.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Never Look, I have Ted record love song dedications for
me nowadays, you know. And I just saw I recorded
this last night off the radio.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Here it is. Here's to you, baby Jim. This one
goes out to you. Here's little Whitney Houston saving all
my love.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I love the that's great. Here's another one for you,
agenda geez. I don't know, but there's a love song
or no, that's the mash theme song. Suicide is bain.
What the hell's going on with you? All right, let's
do a city hall here. Amy Powell at city hall.
She always extends her lockout. Amy Powell at city Hall.
(25:48):
We have time, Okay, we'll come back to it. Amy
Powell at City Hall. Chris Christy live over City Hall.
It's still going on, and guy plowed his car into
city Hall and now we've evacuated, not we, but and
La County Sheriff has evacuated the entire area. What's going
on with this guy? We'll come back a lot more
information for you.
Speaker 9 (26:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Guy at city Hall. Inside of his car looks like
he busted his radiator and his radiator fluid is everywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
That's going to be. That's going to need to be
cleaned up there. I'm sure the city will get be
all over that.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
But let's find out from Amy Powell on ABC News
what's going on down there at City Hall with his
chap in the car and making everybody's life a little miserable.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
Downtown Parallel Spring Street, Temple is behind us, and then
further down the street at City Hall. Police wanted us
to stay clear.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Of the area.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
That's why we've come down a little further away from
City Hall. But it is on this side of City
Hall that the suspect has driven his car onto the
steps and so people are police are taking a lot
of preconuscious because they really don't know exactly what's going
on here. As you can see you they're not people, okay,
the car stepping out of the vehicle with his hands
(27:07):
up in the air.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
They have been watching him very closely with the drone
overhead into the windshield. And I can't tell you whether
or not he is complying with specific commands or instructions,
or whether he is walking towards the l A p D.
They have both sides of Springsheet Spring Street cordon off.
Here he is walking towards officers. I just don't know
(27:31):
whether they have asked him to do that, asked him
to do that or not. I not, but they have
been communicating with him and kind of making arrangements with
him to give himself up, like he is showing his
hands as he walks down Spring Street now directly south
towards L A p D at the end of the block.
Here Again, this all started about an hour into the
(27:55):
front steps of city Hall.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
We saw seven liquid.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
Coming from underneath the vehicle, and there was some suspicion
at the time that he may have had ill intentions. Again,
they are dealing with somebody who they believe is mentally unstable.
So again, he has now exited the vehicle, walking in
the direction of police along Spring Street.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Here we will watch.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
As they attempt to take him into custody here in
the next couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Guys, back to you, Yeah, this standoff again at four
seven pm when he drove on to the steps of
City Hall, jumped the curb, refused to get out of
the vehicle. That prompted the evacuation of La City Hall.
Among the people evacuated, of course, the Mayor of Los Angeles,
Karen Bass, who issued a statement later saying that she
is keeping an eye on the situation and this thanking
(28:40):
first responders for their the way they are handling it.
The man doing his best at this point to comply
with what the officers are saying.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Walking backwards.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
That is something that is a standard thing that police
do when they are affecting what amounts to a fully
arrest and bringing him into custody gently.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
As you see, there been in co.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Tact with this person throughout this thing via cell phone actually, and.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
It appeared from Air seven's picture that we could see,
you know, his hands kind of moving around as he
presumably was on the phone with negotiators and you know,
a successful negotiation here that they were able to get
him out of the vehicle. It looks like he's being
taken into custody again, peacefully and gingerly. Is there kind
of talking with him to you know, explain what's going
to happen from here after this really scary incident. I mean,
(29:26):
with the way the world is right now, this is
certainly not something you want to see at city hall
with signs in a window. And then I believe there
was something also in the back seat of that vehicle
that was kind of alarming to authorities because it was
unclear exactly what it was.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
We'll have to see what the charges end up being.
If it's simply if whatever was in the back seat
turns out to not be something threatening, and if no
threats were issued, this could be actually a fairly minor incident,
I would think, right just just driving up on the
onto the sidewalk and then not getting out is not
a felony. But we'll see what is involved here, sure,
(30:02):
and we'll try to have more updates for you in
later editions of Byewitness News.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
In the meantime, all right, that is over.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
They got to approach the car, probably with one of
those bearcats or a heavily armed car, to make sure
there's no bomb in that car.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't know about you, Crozier, but every time I
see one of these guys get out of the car
and they walk towards the cops and they're surrounded by cops,
I always think of an explosive vest.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I always do.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I always think, oh, Christ, I hope this guy doesn't
have explosive on him and we see that.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I always think about it. Dark mo.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, I just think that people are getting so odd.
They're you know, Doug Steckley used to say, and man,
is this right nowadays more than it was even thirty
years ago. The most dangerous people in this world are
people with nothing to lose. And there are a lot
of people in la with nothing to lose. Lot of
(31:00):
people are broke, a lot of people don't have family,
maybe not have a lot of friends. They live alone
and they're at their wits end. They can't afford anything,
there's no income, they're tired of living the way they live,
and they just lose it, you know, mentally, they just
don't They can't keep it together.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I'll be there at some point in my life on
my way.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, you know, once my wife and daughter figured out
that I'm an idiot, I'll be living in an apartment
across from Sandy to Low all my dough there, and
then I'll be at City Hall, probably about eight years.
But yeah, the new guys here will be talking about
me at city Hall, you know, Monks and who else.
(31:47):
Who's the guy at Andy on weekends? You know, they'll
be talking about it. Looks like he used to work
here at KFI. One of those cats that Bellio used
to work with. Would you make a s oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll include you guys in the sign J.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I don't want to hurt anybody. I don't want to
hurt anybody, that's right, especially Belliam. She's the greatest.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
All right, So that's over. So now we're that has
been solved. Now we're down to four major stories. The
Chevron fire, P. Diddy, the Hamas Israeli hostages being released,
and the Dodgers is another big story. Plus the air
show is going on as well. But the big stories
(32:34):
were city Hall, Chevrun fire, P Diddy, and Hamas releasing
the hostages. And this is a good Friday for news.
The City Hall thing ended well, nobody got killed on
the Chevron fire, even though gas prices might go up.
P Diddy didn't get the fourteen years that was possible.
(32:54):
And also the Hams hostages will be released. So I
think this is a big, a good Friday for a
lot of people.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Good Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think we'll remember this October third, twenty twenty five
as the day the world turned around.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What's that? The beginning of the beginning or the beginning
of the end?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
No, the beginning of a very peaceful, beautiful new life
in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I always like to be positive, is that right, belly on?
