(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty a
little bit of house cleaning. I'mgetting your messages on social media regarding my
opening rant on the protesters. Someof you are not happy with me.
That's okay. You won't be thefirst ones to be upset about something I
said. But can you like putit on Later with mo Kelly Instagram not
(00:23):
my personal you know at mister moKelly, and I'll be more than happy
to respond to all of your messages. You're wrong and I'll respond in just
a moment, but that's a littlebit later. And if you've listened to
me for any length of time,you know that I'm kind of switching gears.
I've never been one who is reallybig on recreational use of marijuana.
(00:47):
That has never been my thing.And I don't want to hear about well,
it's not as dangerous as alcohol.That's not my point. I'm just
saying I have never been big onit. I am fine for decriminalization.
I did not vote for legalization.This is just not my thing. But
I am in support of the DEAmoving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous
(01:10):
drug, changing it from Schedule oneto I think Schedule three, because there
are research advantages. It can beused in medicinal capacity in different states.
There are other ways it can beused as opposed to just recreational in nature.
You may have heard the news bynow, and I think that is
very significant. It needs to behighlighted. Today is a big day in
(01:36):
the history of the United States andthe history of cannabis. The DEA is
moving to reclassify marijuana from being aSchedule one drug the same as heroin and
LSD, to a Schedule three,putting it alongside tylenol containing codeine, ketamine,
and testosterone. Nothing has ever happenedlike this before. The federal government,
until recently, has never even admittedthat cannabis has any medical value,
(01:57):
has any value whatsoever. Jackie Bryantis a key nabis lifestyle reporter. She
notes reclassification what legalized recreational cannabis Onthe federal level, there's a lot of
difference. There's a lot of federalresearch that can be opened up specifically,
which I actually think is the mostimportant thing. We have. This recent
news about TBI and Alzheimer's and howcannabis can help What it means for the
general public is honestly, probably notmuch. It does probably mean that pharmaceutical
(02:21):
companies now can harness, teach,see and use that compound in pharmaceutical drugs
that has never been able to bedone. Next, the White House Office
of Management and Budget must review theproposal to reclassify. It's a step in
the right direction, having the federalgovernment and the President and the DEA say,
really, this isn't as bad aswe said. It is a huge
(02:42):
deal, but it doesn't go farenough, and it's not legal, and
there's still a long way to go. A the last part is very important.
It's not legal, and other stuffthere's a long way to go.
That's for another discussion, different debate. But this doesn't change the law.
This doesn't mean that, oh,it's been reclassified. Three, I can
go out and smoke marijuana on anairplane, or you know, I can
(03:04):
take it with me as I'm goingthrough the airport. Now, federally,
the laws have not changed. Idon't want you to get yourself in trouble
because I've had some friends and familywho wrongly believed, wrongly believe that since
it was let's say legal here inCalifornia and they were flying to Colorado I
(03:24):
think, where it's also legal ina recreational sense that they could take it
with them on an airplane. No, you may not get busted, but
it's not legal. It's just amatter of whether that tsa person looking at
your bag, going through your bagwants to call the police on you.
(03:44):
At that point, it's definitely notlegal. Just take my word for it,
so you don't get your ass hemmeddone. For me listening to this
report and even reading through this,this is something that we've talked about all
the time and your healths between legalizationversus criminalization, I will go back to.
This is one step closer to thisbeing sold on store shelves and pharmacies
(04:09):
of cvs, because writing is aboutto be out of here but in your
local pharmacies, and it will becomemarketable by big businesses, further taking it
away from its origins. But Ithink that's what it's all about, you
know. Always, as long asthe government can commodify it and get a
piece of it, can tax itand regulate it, then it's okay.
(04:30):
Yes, I don't want marijuana asaccessible in that way for medicinal uses for
medicinal research. Absolutely absolutely. Idon't want it in the corner store.
I don't want to go down toCBS or what used to be Walmart Health.
And you know that's just just callme old fashioned, call me an
(04:56):
undercover conservative. All the liberals aremad tonight, every single one. But
this isn't I gotta say that.I when I was a child here in
La my mom got busted for havingjust like a joint or something like that.
I watched the cops haul her away, and she's no longer with us.
(05:16):
But if she could be here tosee that, we could just walk
into stores like it's a shop andpick up weed. It gives me no
end of amusement. But see,that is why I have always been against
decriminalization for scenarios just like that.And I would say the inequitable enforcement.
(05:38):
It's not like there's more weed inthe hood than there is in the suburbs.
Well, no, no, right, But the thing is addressing to
Walla's point, there's always going tobe a black market because when the government
gets involved, it gets more expensivein addition to all the regulation and all
that kind of stuff. No,that is true, and the black market
will find new ways to use it. But pretty soon is going to beyond
(06:00):
shelves like the nicotine gum and youcan get your your weedy or whatever you
want to call it, and itwill be so odd. Well it be
boxes with like yeah, like BruceJenner on the cover, that's exactly what
it'll be. And y know yeah, and this you know, Snoop will
have a brand and it'll become somethingthat is commoditized in that way where it
will be like cigarettes, just somethingsole to anyone over the age of eighteen
(06:25):
take a week twenty one for liquor. But it will become like that.
This this is a further move tomost point to make it something that you
can open up bank accounts because younow have a legitimate business. And this
is when big business comes in.This is how it happened with alcohol.
This how what happened with tobacco twice. It was gonna happen now with marijuana.
(06:45):
And that's where we're going. Butwe can't have this conversation without acknowledging
the objective fact that the war ondrugs, including weed, was a failure
in every possible metric and it ruinedcountless lives. You cannot get around that.
Well, the war on drugs wasa function of and an extension of
the Crime Bill of the nineties,and it was an extension of President Nixon
(07:12):
wanting to stomp on hippies and minorityNo, I'm saying, but also the
crime Bill coming into the nineties aswell. The drugs have always been used
as a proxy for communities deemed lessdesirable. But you can't rationalize having this
stuff illegal when you take into accountthe record of zero successes but countless lives
(07:38):
ruined. No, I'm not tryingto in any way justify it. I'm
just saying there's a history which ispretty transparent in that regard. I mentioned
the Crime Bill of the nineteen nineties, if only because crack cocaine was eighteen
to one more higher penalty than powdercocaine. Oh, of course, yeah,
(08:01):
eighteen to one. There's always been. It was one hundred to one,
and then it was reduced during theObama administration from eighteen to one,
even though it's the same drug,just cooked right, right, mo,
I think what you need to dois put on some pink floyd. We
don't need no edge a case.I think you're on the right track,
(08:24):
get some snack food, order apizza with extra olives, and then we
can we can continue our discussion.I don't put olives on my pizza.
Well you might if you started smokingweed. I sure would not. That's
another reason to not smoking. Andfor those folks who don't know, I've
had marijuana, I want to saytwice in my life, once experimenting as
(08:46):
a teen. As a matter offact, I think it was maybe eighteen
or nineteen with a coke can.If you know how to do it that
way, okay, I'm not sureI do. What do you do?
Do you like? Poke a holein It's like a it's like a bomb.
It's like a bar. Yeah,yeah, a rudimentary bomb. I
am not the expert. Okay,I'm just saying they will showing me how
to do it. Sure, tellus more about it. And I did
(09:07):
Inhale how to make a coke bong. Yeah, we're learning a lot.
I just say coke bong. Isaid weed. That's extreme coke, not
a coke bong. Well, yourexpertise, I think, is a little
wider than you want to admit.No, no, no, And I
and I had some edibles. Iwant to say maybe fifteen to twenty years
(09:28):
ago. Didn't really do much forme, and I just never developed any
affinity for it, you know,I've just never had a desire for it.
If anyone else wants to use,that's your thing. We all have
our thing. It's just not mything. But you don't want it legalized
or decriminalized? No, I said, no. See, that's how we
(09:50):
get it messed up. Okay,I said for decriminalization. Okay, let's
clarify this. Okay, I'm notfor for for recreational use. I've never
voted in support of that. Butdon't you know where the countries want.
Yeah, I don't give a damn. Okay, I know what they did
in Oregon and they've done in otherstates. It doesn't mean that I am
(10:11):
going to support that. I havemy stuff that I support and I don't
support, and I don't expect anyoneelse to live the way that I do.
And if you see me out onthe street and you ask me,
I'll tell you the same. It'snot performative. Okay. You're not gonna
(10:31):
see MO with a coke bong inTom Souer. No, how about an
apple bong? You can do oneof those too. I been no.
Look, I don't do weed,I don't vape, I don't hook a
Is that what is that? It'shook hook whatever? Whatever? You know.
(10:52):
What I'm talking about is what youmake rain on. Back to this
now and the tip oh man,Look everyone all together now. Look at
the time you're listening to Later withMoe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty There's insurance everywhere. We gotcar insurance, we have home insurance,
(11:16):
we have life insurance, cinc.Later with Mo Kelly, can if I
AM six forty one live everywhere onthe iHeartRadio app. But maybe you've noticed
that there has been an increase indiscussion about pet insurance. I have too
many Schnauzers, Riley and Benson.I love them with all my heart.
They are family members. I woulddo anything to protect them. If it's
(11:39):
coyotes, I'm fighting with the coyotes. If it's a person, I'm fighting
with the person doesn't matter. I'mnot gonna let anything or anyone harm my
two extended family members, my furryfamily members. But there is a debate
about whether pet insurance is affordable orvaluable in the set of does it do
(12:01):
what a pet owner would need itto do and is it feasible give them
the cost? Now, I don'twant to tell everyone's business, but I
know here at iHeart they do offerthat as an option in benefits. They
do, but it's not cheap.Don't get me wrong. You know they
offer it, but you're definitely gonnapay for it, and almost in many
(12:22):
ways, it's more expensive than peoplehealth insurance. Listen to this. More
owners are now getting pet insurance totake care of their furry friends, but
almost policies actually work the money.Nbc'svicking Win is here now with the closer
look. Good morning, morn Ilearned a lot from this story and you
will too. The pet insurance businessis booming right now, but it can
be really confusing to figure out whetherit makes sense for you and your pets.
(12:46):
We have a look at how someof the policies at some of the
most popular companies compare and what youshould consider before you buy. We love
our pets like family. An estimatedone even American households have a dog or
cat, and just like any memberof the family, healthcare is important,
but an emergency VET visit can costbetween two hundred and fifty to sixteen hundred
(13:11):
dollars. It's prompted a booming businessin the US pet insurance. The number
of policies purchased at the end oflast year has risen nearly ninety three percent
since twenty nineteen. It's another kid. You know, I have three daughters
and I have Lucy. You gother as a puppy, and immediately you
thought, this is a good ideato have insurance for our pet. Why
(13:31):
well, just like you would ensureyour children, you want to make sure
you know something bad happens that they'reprotected. Jeff Foos purchased a policy from
True Panion, among the nation's largestpet insurance companies. He says his coverage
started at thirty three dollars a monthfor Lucy, but after nine years,
the cost has risen to almost eightydollars a month. That's a one hundred
and forty one percent increase. Foossays in some years his rate increased more
(13:54):
than the twenty percent his policy saidit would never exceed annually. Do you
think this was a worthwhile investment?Absolutely not. It can be hard to
tell if pet insurance is worth itfor you. We requested quotes from five
popular companies using Bruno, a threeyear old mixed breed dog for similar coverage
(14:15):
and a deductible between two to fivehundred dollars. Take a look at the
rates. Embrace at the low endat forty one dollars a month, Trupanion
the highest at one hundred and sixtyseven dollars. None covers routine exams one
hundred and sixty seven dollars per month. None covers routine exams. That's gotta
be like cover Care of California GoldLevel Plan. But at least with a
(14:39):
Gold Level plan, routine exams arecovered. Now I'm speaking from knowledge at
this point, first hand experience.My Doug Benson recently had to go in
and get major dental surgery. Hehad to have Let me back up,
because you don't know the history ofBenson. Benson is a rescue and Ben's
(15:01):
was found in a crackhouse. Hewas malnourished and not well taken care of.
As a function of that, he'salways had trouble with his teeth.
He had to have some nineteen teethremoved a couple of weeks ago. True
story. It costs a lot,Okay, it costs a lot, but
(15:24):
it still was going to be lessthan the cost of maintaining pet insurance one
hundred and sixty seven dollars per month. He's six years old. Now do
the math. One hundred and sixtyseven dollars per month over a year,
which is about close to nineteen hundreddollars a year over six years. We
(15:48):
have not spent that much. Now, if there's something which is major in
nature which may come on come alongdown the line, we have saved enough
money to be able to handle that. But for what I've seen and my
discussions with other pet owners, petinsurance is almost cost prohibitive at this point
(16:10):
given how much is being charged,and you heard it, and the piece
no annual exams. Well, inother words, we have to take in
our dogs after something is wrong.There's no real upside at that point.
We're gonna spend hundreds of dollars atleast I don't even know what the deductible
is, but you're gonna spend atleast nineteen hundred dollars per year. Nothing's
(16:36):
wrong as far as you know,and you can't even get preventive healthcare as
you would for a human being likeyou and me. At this point,
the way the pet healthcare system isset up, No, it doesn't make
sense as far as a financial investment. And I love my dogs. I
can't speak for Mark and how hetreated his cats. And I don't know
(16:59):
if no, no, I'm saying, I don't know if it's similar financially.
Well, i'll tell you. Theywere eighteen years old, both were
when they died fairly recently, andit cost an enormous amount of money their
last few years to get them thecare they needed. I mean, one
visit for one of them alone waslike four grand and it did nothing.
Nothing. So when they get laterin life, you're really gonna have to
(17:23):
make some hard decisions about what youwant to spend and do cost benefit analysis
of all that. Absolutely, andI think every pet owner knows that eventually
that time will come. But ifyou're putting up all this money on the
front end that you can't use onthe back end, then I don't know
what the upside is. Yeah,maybe it's like getting triple A insurance the
(17:47):
day before you go on a longtrip, Like maybe we should have waited
until they were sixteen and gotten somekind of insurance because we really spent an
awful lot of money. And I'mnot dumping on vets. I have a
friends who are vets. But theamount that you're charged, and you know,
you were talking about the surcharges thatwe don't know what they're for.
Try going to a vet sometimes andwhen they say, well we need this
(18:08):
eighteen hundred dollars scan, you're like, well, I love my pet.
I guess I have to get thatdone. Yeah. Yeah, I can't
disagree with anything you're saying. It'smore of an individual decision that we all
have to make. And financially,it doesn't make sense if you're trying to
get premium pet insurance that doesn't giveyou all the things that a premium insurance
(18:33):
plan would give us as people.I think, just to watch people's heads
explode, I want to recommend socializedhealthcare for all our bets for no good
real other than to antagonize people.At this point, you know, let
me just go ahead and be MaCob. I might as well just get
a colonial pen plan, you know, and just ensure my dogs for nine
(18:53):
to ninety nine a month because theygot the three p's, you know,
the price. What is it theysay in the colonial pen commercial a price
that you can afford, a pricethat doesn't change, and the price that
doesn't blow your bank account or somethinglike that. You know, Jonathan Lawson,
you haven't seen those. I'm notunfamiliar with all your peas. Oh
my goodness, are you gonna makeme pull up the damn commercial robin you're
(19:18):
working the board tonight. Are youeven familiar with Colonial Pen? Yeah?
Couldn't pull that microphone over there realquick, not even a little bit.
What if I said, Alex Trebekand Colonial Pen does that ring a bell?
Does Alex Trebek ring a bell?The last name rings a bell?
(19:40):
Oh my god, that is comingup goosegg on this whole exchange here,
aren't you? Okay, let meset here to tell you about the Colonial
Pen program. If your age fiftyto eighty five and looking to buy life
insurance on a fixed budget, rememberthe three p. Here we go the
three what? The three piece?The three The three piece of life insurance
on a fixed budget are price,price, and price. A price you
(20:06):
can afford, yeap, a pricethat can't increase, right, and a
price that fits your budget. Thattoo. I'm fifty four and I was
a smoker, But quit Alex what'smy price? You can get coverage for
nine dollars ninety five cents a month. I'm sixty five, retired and take
medications. What's my price? Also, idiots, I just turned eighty and
(20:27):
I'm on a fixed income. What'smy price? Probably about seven thousand dollars
for your casket. I think weknow what happened to Alex Trebek, now
don't we. You're not wrong.You're not wrong. Oh that was still
inappropriate, but I love you forit. Very quickly, before we go
(20:48):
to break Tucker Underscore, Pete tookissue with me on Instagram. First he
hit my wrong Instagram account, hitmy personal social media hit at later with
mo Kellowe created just for that.If you're gonna troll us right address,
this is Tucker Underscore. Peete,He says, listen to KFI since Loman
and Barkley mostly now, I onlytolerate Handle Conway and you tonight. You're
(21:12):
mocking and verbal intolerance of the protesterswas too much. KFI has really moved
to the dark side. Well,Tucker, I responded to you on Instagram.
I wan't respond to you on air, so you know it was actually
me. Yes, I did mockthe protesters, not the issue that they
were protesting. I mocked their methods. It was dumb, it was illogical,
(21:36):
it was illegal, and it hadno way of ever succeeding. You're
making demands on this campus that youdo not own, you don't have any
legal right to be there. Thedemands were never going to be met,
and after ignoring an order to disperse, of course, they were arrested.
They got nothing for their efforts.They trashed the camp, they committed vandalism,
(22:02):
and for what what did you gain? That to me is worthy of
mockery. Now, if you wantto go down the list and talk about
the Civil rights movement and also OccupyWall Street and Black Lives Matter and so
forth, I will make all thosecomparisons, and I can distinguish between why
(22:23):
the civil rights movement was successful andthose subsequent movements were not. And much
of it had to do with strategy, realistic goals, a specific ass as
it relates to legislation, and mostimportantly, retaining the moral authority. Like
when you had the civil rights protesterswho sat at the Woolworths counter, they
(22:45):
didn't trash the place and still gotarrested. But it also it led to
the passage, long story short ofthe Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights
Act. It's Later with mo Kellyk if I Am six forty Were Life
Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Wehave some Disney news for you. Maybe
(23:11):
you're like Tuwala, who goes toDisneyland two or three times a year.
I don't know how he does it, and he usually goes with his ex
wife. He goes with his kids, sundered, his daughter, maybe two
or three other people. He hasmore money than I do. Because I
can't afford Disneyland. He goes multipletimes each year. The only time I've
(23:33):
gone to Disneyland in the past fifteenyears was because Disney had a media night
and I got a chance to go. I can't afford it. What,
okay, God? What? Thereason I'm bringing this up is because Disneyland
has unveiled new summer ticket deals.Beginning on May twenty ninth, parkgoers can
(23:56):
purchase a three day, one park, one one park per day weekday ticket,
starting at the very low price ofone hundred and forty nine dollars.

a one park per day weekday ticket. Excuse me, I'm sorry, three

one day one park ticket start atninety four dollars per day, and we
(25:02):
can tickets can cost nearly two hundreddollars. So there's good news deals all
around. Three day, one parkper day weekday. Did you get that?
Three day, one park per dayweekday tickets are starting at one hundred
and forty nine dollars for crumb snatchersand two hundred and forty nine dollars for
(25:25):
the parents. Of the crumb snatcherseach parent, that is, and we
can tickets starting at one hundred andninety nine dollars for children each and two
hundred nine d nine dollars for adultseach, which brings me back to you,
Tuala money bags. Look, look, my daughter's birthday just passed.
(25:51):
Oh likely, excuse to look.Her birthday just passed, and she would
like to go to Disneyland. That'sthat's all she's wanted. So yes,
so we did save up. Waitwait, wait, this is the same
daughter went to see Taylor Swift.This is that same daughter. Okay,
this is the same Did you seeas well? No, no, no,
(26:11):
her mother just went by herself.Okay, Okay, she didn't.
She didn't do that. Okay,so she did see Taylor. And but
look, going to Disneyland. Thisis not like last year because last year
it was the cruise. Okay,so look the wait, people don't necessarily
remember last year she went on acruise to wear for it was like a
(26:33):
three day Caribbean cruise. Yes,in twenty twenty three, Yes, this
year, Taylor Taylor was Taylor's Taylor. You can't deny the swifty in in
my daughter can't watch. Look,no, that's the word. I wanted
to take my wife to see TaylorSwift. We're not talking about Taylor right
now. Okay, we're not talkingabout Taytay. We're talking about this once
(26:55):
in a lifetime trip, once ina lifetime as if you know this is
the you will last year they went, I wasn't oh no, no,
no, no, I did Idid. Yeah, I dig, I
dig. Okay. So but look, we're not talking about last year,
talking about this right now. Buthow can it be once in a lifetime
if you went last year? Well, I mean, because there are new
things happening that you're not going toexperience that won't be there during the summer.
(27:18):
You've got to go. Now whattable dances? What? No,
there's this stuff. It's Disney.There's always stuff. There's always something happening,
okay, and we need to seeit. There's something always happening in
a Walmart. Doesn't mean I needto go. There's always discounts if you
want to discount. There's something alwayshappened in a Walmart and waffle house.
And I don't go to either.Violence too, because because that the cheese,
(27:41):
that uh, that stroller stomping.That was that was bad over there,
very bad, very bad. Sothat's not what we're talking about.
The ticket prices right now, usingthe California discount and all that kind of
good stuff. It wasn't that bad. It really is not that bad when
you look at all things considered.You know, we're just going to the
one park. We're not park copying. How many people are in your party
(28:06):
for this trip to Disneyland, it'sfive of us, so we're talking roughly
in the realm of one thousand dollarsto walk through the door. No,
not a thousand. It's like Diddywith his entourage here. Hey, hey,
I want no Diddy comparison. Okay, we can go City out your
mouth, keep Diddy all the wayout your mouth. Oh, you don't
(28:26):
need to worry about that. Soif let's say you're going on a weekend
and it's Sunday, Sunday, sothat's a weekend, and it's three almost
one more dollars, three dollars,so it's three adults and two children,
or two adults and three children.We all equal adults because adults so children
(28:51):
is like like twelve or something likethat. Hold five adults. Then okay,
five adults the ticket. It's forthis special pass. No, no,
no, no, it's not specialtask because this doesn't start till May
twenty nine. Sorry. Sorry,they don't qualify whoever gets this pass starting
May twenty ninth, we'll have to. For a family of five, it's
(29:15):
forty four and ninety five dollars.And that's just for the tickets. That's
not including parking for the three daysyou need to go. And this is
this is after May twenty nine.This is the special. So that means
Twala did not get the special.He got the pre price special. No,
the pre do the math on MAthe pre price. But see now
(29:36):
you have to know that that byscrounging the internet and finding out the right
time to go to Disney, whichis right now, we're able to find
tickets roughly in in the one hundredeighty dollars range. Okay, that's close
to one thousand dollars. If mymath is still correct, five times one
hundred and eighty, you're still overnine hundred dollars, about nine hundred dollars.
(30:00):
I mean, look, look,what are we talking about now?
A lot of money, that's whatwe're talking about. Let Let's let's not
talk about that. Let's talk aboutthe ship. Let's talk about the joy.
Let's talk about the memories that willbe made. The parade is there,
all right? Right, but weknow that you haven't eaten yet.
You haven't parked yet, eating parkingthat's gonna happen. You haven't tipped anybody
(30:26):
yet. I'm the one that hasan annual pass and every time I go

No, look, tears will beshipped, tears will be shpit gad to
say there, we'll be crying.Did you take out a loan? Look?
Did you get a new credit card? I just want to get in
(30:48):
all your business. Look, let'snot get into my business. Let's just
say that you know, if Iif I come in with you know,
cast on my arm that I wasn'table to, you know, get back
what I need to to Big Willieto take care of this trip. Okay,
Well, let me get out ofyour business. Because, as I
said earlier in the show Tonight laterwith mo Kelly promised to give away a
(31:12):
family four pack to the Renaissance PleasureFair in Irwindale. It's twenty acres of
pure fun, thirteen stages which offera variety of entertainment all day long.
In addition, they will dazzle youwith a fully armored joust, the Queen
and her glittering court, amazing artsand crafts, delicious food, fine spirits,
(31:33):

let's open up the phones right now. If you are caller number eight,
Caller number eight, a family fourpack is waiting for you to the
Renaissance Pleasure Fare in Erwindale. Nowyou have to use the tickets by May
(31:59):
twelfth. They expire on May twelfth. But if you're a caller number eight,
Caller number eight wins a family fourpack to the Renaissance Pleasure Fare in
Irwindale. You're listening to Later withMoe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty that before we get out ofhere, I've received more of your notes.
(32:19):
You are still mad at me aboutwhat I had to say in my
opening segment regarding the protests at UCLA. I am unmoved. I am a
student of history. There is adifference in distinction between mocking the method of
protests and mocking the issue behind theprotests. The issue is relevant, the
issue is worthy of debate and worthyof protests if you are so inclined,
(32:45):
but that does not legitimize any andall methodologies. There's a reason why the
Civil rights movement was actually successful,and mind you, it was over the
k over the course of more thana decade. It wasn't like two weeks
in no Park. There's a reasonwhy the Civil Rights movement was successful big
picture, and Occupy Wall Street wasnot. There's a reason why the Civil
(33:08):
Rights movement was successful and BLM wasnot. It has to do with methodology.
The issues which are being broached arelegitimate issues, but it does not
validate any and all methods which arebeing employed. I talk about effective protests.
(33:31):
I don't want to hear about it. Some people told me, well
they were braves to go out andprotests. Well, they went about it
in a stupid way. And I'mnot going to mince my words. Okay.
In the Civil Rights movement, wedidn't trash woolwarts at wilworts in our
protests, and people did go tojail, but they retained the moral authority,
(33:52):
and there was a messaging strategy.There were only singular people who were
speaking to the me and a coordinatedmessage to make sure that the movement did
not get hijacked and the message didnot get hijacked. I played you the
audio of these students who were somehowconfounded that law enforcement officers did their damn
(34:15):
job, or they were surprised thatthey were moved from their encampments. Why
because they had no legal right tosquat, to commit violence, or get
into fights, or commit vandalism onprivate property. It's not a public park,
and even if it were a publicpark, you would still need to
(34:36):
have a permit to protest. Itdoes not give you the right then to
do whatever you want to that supposedpublic park or public place. This was
all about the methodology. It's aboutwhat they did. It was doomed from
the start, and if you can'tseparate that from the seriousness of the issue,
that's a you problem, that's notmy problem. In fact, the
(34:59):
media that was there on site atUCLA last night, in the previous nights,
the people who were there at theencampment, they were antagonizing the media.
We talked about I asked Chris Adler. They were trying to shine lights
in her face and they wouldn't evenspeak to her about the issue. See,
that's how you messed up your ownmovement. And you want to get
your ass on your shoulders and saythat I got the dirty nerve to mock
(35:20):
them, Well, stop engaging inbehavior that is worthy worthy of mockery.
You can't have it both ways.You can't say please take it serious and
then act in an unseerious way,in an immature way, in an uncoordinated
way, in all this disarray.You didn't you heard from the audio I
(35:45):
played at the beginning of the show, they said, I don't know what's
next because you didn't plan that far. You didn't have a plan. You
didn't even know what to do whenthe police showed up. Well, I
could have told you what was gonnahappen. They had some four hundred police
officers out there. What do youthink it was going to happen? They're
gonna take your ass to jail.That's the only way that that story could
(36:05):
have ended. And did you know, even though I've been talking about this
every damn day, not one personfrom the encampment, not One person connected
to the protests reached out to meor campfire and said, Hey, I'm
a representative, I'm a leader.Da da da dah. We want to
be able to talk about this onair in an expanded form so people better
understand what we're doing and why we'rehere. But they didn't do that because
(36:27):
they don't know what they're doing.And if it comes up that they look
bad or people don't understand the seriousnessof the issue, that's on them.
That's not on me. I knowa little something about how successful movements work.
You have a moment, you generatemomentum. It turns into a movement.
But you're having a movement towards aspecific goal. It's not just what
you want. A goal is somethingwhich is attainable. You can't make demands
(36:51):
when you have no leverage. Youdon't have any leverage to make UCLA do
what you want. What are yougonna do? Drop out of school?
Stop paying your tuition. I gotnews for you. There's another class which
is coming in on about three months. It's called Freshmen. Okay, I
think I'm done. I got thatoff my chest. Yes you did,
(37:13):
Yes, you did. I getso frustrated They don't understand just because you
have something that you think is importantthat you want to talk about, you
want to yell about, you wantto protest about that, that somehow validates
everything that you do surrounding it.It does not. The individuals that are
out there, they put the sameimportance I believe on this protest that they
(37:34):
do on posting their latest meal ortheir latest outfit. They're not very serious.
They were doing it for the GRAM. They weren't serious about this.
There may have been people down therewho were, but then they got hijacked
with foolishness. The foolishness is whatis being mocked, the idea of making
a demand on the university. Ifyou don't get the do you think UCLA
(38:00):
is going to listen to you nowafter you trash Royce Hall, because clearly
you're okay with that. It wasn'tlike someone said, hey, hey,
we're very sorry about that. Thatwas not us. We didn't intend that
to happen. We want to havea legitimate conversation about how we could move
this forward. No, yeah,people complained about They didn't respect us,
they didn't show us any sympathy.They took all our stuff, they put
(38:22):
our tempts into trash. I can'ttake you seriously because you're not acting in
a serious way. I care aboutthis issue deeply. I have family members
on both sides of this issue.You can't tell me that I don't care,
but I definitely can say that Idon't care for your methods, and
you shouldn't be surprised when they fallshort. You're not a student of history.
(38:45):
You don't know about effective protesting,and if you do the same thing
the same way again is going tofail again. You didn't win any hearts
and minds by going about it thisway. All you did was make people
more angry and less sympathy athetic.If that was your goal. Will damn
congratulations, mission accomplish, job welldone. I'll see you tomorrow. K

You're listening to Later with Moe Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty a
little bit of house cleaning. I'mgetting your messages on social media regarding my
opening rant on the protesters. Someof you are not happy with me.
That's okay. You won't be thefirst ones to be upset about something I
said. But can you like putit on Later with mo Kelly Instagram not
(00:23):
my personal you know at mister moKelly, and I'll be more than happy
to respond to all of your messages. You're wrong and I'll respond in just
a moment, but that's a littlebit later. And if you've listened to
me for any length of time,you know that I'm kind of switching gears.
I've never been one who is reallybig on recreational use of marijuana.
(00:47):
That has never been my thing.And I don't want to hear about well,
it's not as dangerous as alcohol.That's not my point. I'm just
saying I have never been big onit. I am fine for decriminalization.
I did not vote for legalization.This is just not my thing. But
I am in support of the DEAmoving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous
(01:10):
drug, changing it from Schedule oneto I think Schedule three, because there
are research advantages. It can beused in medicinal capacity in different states.
There are other ways it can beused as opposed to just recreational in nature.
You may have heard the news bynow, and I think that is
very significant. It needs to behighlighted. Today is a big day in
(01:36):
the history of the United States andthe history of cannabis. The DEA is
moving to reclassify marijuana from being aSchedule one drug the same as heroin and
LSD, to a Schedule three,putting it alongside tylenol containing codeine, ketamine,
and testosterone. Nothing has ever happenedlike this before. The federal government,
until recently, has never even admittedthat cannabis has any medical value,
(01:57):
has any value whatsoever. Jackie Bryantis a key nabis lifestyle reporter. She
notes reclassification what legalized recreational cannabis Onthe federal level, there's a lot of
difference. There's a lot of federalresearch that can be opened up specifically,
which I actually think is the mostimportant thing. We have. This recent
news about TBI and Alzheimer's and howcannabis can help What it means for the
general public is honestly, probably notmuch. It does probably mean that pharmaceutical
(02:21):
companies now can harness, teach,see and use that compound in pharmaceutical drugs
that has never been able to bedone. Next, the White House Office
of Management and Budget must review theproposal to reclassify. It's a step in
the right direction, having the federalgovernment and the President and the DEA say,
really, this isn't as bad aswe said. It is a huge
(02:42):
deal, but it doesn't go farenough, and it's not legal, and
there's still a long way to go. A the last part is very important.
It's not legal, and other stuffthere's a long way to go.
That's for another discussion, different debate. But this doesn't change the law.
This doesn't mean that, oh,it's been reclassified. Three, I can
go out and smoke marijuana on anairplane, or you know, I can
(03:04):
take it with me as I'm goingthrough the airport. Now, federally,
the laws have not changed. Idon't want you to get yourself in trouble
because I've had some friends and familywho wrongly believed, wrongly believe that since
it was let's say legal here inCalifornia and they were flying to Colorado I
(03:24):
think, where it's also legal ina recreational sense that they could take it
with them on an airplane. No, you may not get busted, but
it's not legal. It's just amatter of whether that tsa person looking at
your bag, going through your bagwants to call the police on you.
(03:44):
At that point, it's definitely notlegal. Just take my word for it,
so you don't get your ass hemmeddone. For me listening to this
report and even reading through this,this is something that we've talked about all
the time and your healths between legalizationversus criminalization, I will go back to.
This is one step closer to thisbeing sold on store shelves and pharmacies
(04:09):
of cvs, because writing is aboutto be out of here but in your
local pharmacies, and it will becomemarketable by big businesses, further taking it
away from its origins. But Ithink that's what it's all about, you
know. Always, as long asthe government can commodify it and get a
piece of it, can tax itand regulate it, then it's okay.
(04:30):
Yes, I don't want marijuana asaccessible in that way for medicinal uses for
medicinal research. Absolutely absolutely. Idon't want it in the corner store.
I don't want to go down toCBS or what used to be Walmart Health.
And you know that's just just callme old fashioned, call me an
(04:56):
undercover conservative. All the liberals aremad tonight, every single one. But
this isn't I gotta say that.I when I was a child here in
La my mom got busted for havingjust like a joint or something like that.
I watched the cops haul her away, and she's no longer with us.
(05:16):
But if she could be here tosee that, we could just walk
into stores like it's a shop andpick up weed. It gives me no
end of amusement. But see,that is why I have always been against
decriminalization for scenarios just like that.And I would say the inequitable enforcement.
(05:38):
It's not like there's more weed inthe hood than there is in the suburbs.
Well, no, no, right, But the thing is addressing to
Walla's point, there's always going tobe a black market because when the government
gets involved, it gets more expensivein addition to all the regulation and all
that kind of stuff. No,that is true, and the black market
will find new ways to use it. But pretty soon is going to beyond
(06:00):
shelves like the nicotine gum and youcan get your your weedy or whatever you
want to call it, and itwill be so odd. Well it be
boxes with like yeah, like BruceJenner on the cover, that's exactly what
it'll be. And y know yeah, and this you know, Snoop will
have a brand and it'll become somethingthat is commoditized in that way where it
will be like cigarettes, just somethingsole to anyone over the age of eighteen
(06:25):
take a week twenty one for liquor. But it will become like that.
This this is a further move tomost point to make it something that you
can open up bank accounts because younow have a legitimate business. And this
is when big business comes in.This is how it happened with alcohol.
This how what happened with tobacco twice. It was gonna happen now with marijuana.
(06:45):
And that's where we're going. Butwe can't have this conversation without acknowledging
the objective fact that the war ondrugs, including weed, was a failure
in every possible metric and it ruinedcountless lives. You cannot get around that.
Well, the war on drugs wasa function of and an extension of
the Crime Bill of the nineties,and it was an extension of President Nixon
(07:12):
wanting to stomp on hippies and minorityNo, I'm saying, but also the
crime Bill coming into the nineties aswell. The drugs have always been used
as a proxy for communities deemed lessdesirable. But you can't rationalize having this
stuff illegal when you take into accountthe record of zero successes but countless lives
(07:38):
ruined. No, I'm not tryingto in any way justify it. I'm
just saying there's a history which ispretty transparent in that regard. I mentioned
the Crime Bill of the nineteen nineties, if only because crack cocaine was eighteen
to one more higher penalty than powdercocaine. Oh, of course, yeah,
(08:01):
eighteen to one. There's always been. It was one hundred to one,
and then it was reduced during theObama administration from eighteen to one,
even though it's the same drug,just cooked right, right, mo,
I think what you need to dois put on some pink floyd. We
don't need no edge a case.I think you're on the right track,
(08:24):
get some snack food, order apizza with extra olives, and then we
can we can continue our discussion.I don't put olives on my pizza.
Well you might if you started smokingweed. I sure would not. That's
another reason to not smoking. Andfor those folks who don't know, I've
had marijuana, I want to saytwice in my life, once experimenting as
(08:46):
a teen. As a matter offact, I think it was maybe eighteen
or nineteen with a coke can.If you know how to do it that
way, okay, I'm not sureI do. What do you do?
Do you like? Poke a holein It's like a it's like a bomb.
It's like a bar. Yeah,yeah, a rudimentary bomb. I
am not the expert. Okay,I'm just saying they will showing me how
to do it. Sure, tellus more about it. And I did
(09:07):
Inhale how to make a coke bong. Yeah, we're learning a lot.
I just say coke bong. Isaid weed. That's extreme coke, not
a coke bong. Well, yourexpertise, I think, is a little
wider than you want to admit.No, no, no, And I
and I had some edibles. Iwant to say maybe fifteen to twenty years
(09:28):
ago. Didn't really do much forme, and I just never developed any
affinity for it, you know,I've just never had a desire for it.
If anyone else wants to use,that's your thing. We all have
our thing. It's just not mything. But you don't want it legalized
or decriminalized? No, I said, no. See, that's how we
(09:50):
get it messed up. Okay,I said for decriminalization. Okay, let's
clarify this. Okay, I'm notfor for for recreational use. I've never
voted in support of that. Butdon't you know where the countries want.
Yeah, I don't give a damn. Okay, I know what they did
in Oregon and they've done in otherstates. It doesn't mean that I am
(10:11):
going to support that. I havemy stuff that I support and I don't
support, and I don't expect anyoneelse to live the way that I do.
And if you see me out onthe street and you ask me,
I'll tell you the same. It'snot performative. Okay. You're not gonna
(10:31):
see MO with a coke bong inTom Souer. No, how about an
apple bong? You can do oneof those too. I been no.
Look, I don't do weed,I don't vape, I don't hook a
Is that what is that? It'shook hook whatever? Whatever? You know.
(10:52):
What I'm talking about is what youmake rain on. Back to this
now and the tip oh man,Look everyone all together now. Look at
the time you're listening to Later withMoe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty There's insurance everywhere. We gotcar insurance, we have home insurance,
(11:16):
we have life insurance, cinc.Later with Mo Kelly, can if I
AM six forty one live everywhere onthe iHeartRadio app. But maybe you've noticed
that there has been an increase indiscussion about pet insurance. I have too
many Schnauzers, Riley and Benson.I love them with all my heart.
They are family members. I woulddo anything to protect them. If it's
(11:39):
coyotes, I'm fighting with the coyotes. If it's a person, I'm fighting
with the person doesn't matter. I'mnot gonna let anything or anyone harm my
two extended family members, my furryfamily members. But there is a debate
about whether pet insurance is affordable orvaluable in the set of does it do
(12:01):
what a pet owner would need itto do and is it feasible give them
the cost? Now, I don'twant to tell everyone's business, but I
know here at iHeart they do offerthat as an option in benefits. They
do, but it's not cheap.Don't get me wrong. You know they
offer it, but you're definitely gonnapay for it, and almost in many
(12:22):
ways, it's more expensive than peoplehealth insurance. Listen to this. More
owners are now getting pet insurance totake care of their furry friends, but
almost policies actually work the money.Nbc'svicking Win is here now with the closer
look. Good morning, morn Ilearned a lot from this story and you
will too. The pet insurance businessis booming right now, but it can
be really confusing to figure out whetherit makes sense for you and your pets.
(12:46):
We have a look at how someof the policies at some of the
most popular companies compare and what youshould consider before you buy. We love
our pets like family. An estimatedone even American households have a dog or
cat, and just like any memberof the family, healthcare is important,
but an emergency VET visit can costbetween two hundred and fifty to sixteen hundred
(13:11):
dollars. It's prompted a booming businessin the US pet insurance. The number
of policies purchased at the end oflast year has risen nearly ninety three percent
since twenty nineteen. It's another kid. You know, I have three daughters
and I have Lucy. You gother as a puppy, and immediately you
thought, this is a good ideato have insurance for our pet. Why
(13:31):
well, just like you would ensureyour children, you want to make sure
you know something bad happens that they'reprotected. Jeff Foos purchased a policy from
True Panion, among the nation's largestpet insurance companies. He says his coverage
started at thirty three dollars a monthfor Lucy, but after nine years,
the cost has risen to almost eightydollars a month. That's a one hundred
and forty one percent increase. Foossays in some years his rate increased more
(13:54):
than the twenty percent his policy saidit would never exceed annually. Do you
think this was a worthwhile investment?Absolutely not. It can be hard to
tell if pet insurance is worth itfor you. We requested quotes from five
popular companies using Bruno, a threeyear old mixed breed dog for similar coverage
(14:15):
and a deductible between two to fivehundred dollars. Take a look at the
rates. Embrace at the low endat forty one dollars a month, Trupanion
the highest at one hundred and sixtyseven dollars. None covers routine exams one
hundred and sixty seven dollars per month. None covers routine exams. That's gotta
be like cover Care of California GoldLevel Plan. But at least with a
(14:39):
Gold Level plan, routine exams arecovered. Now I'm speaking from knowledge at
this point, first hand experience.My Doug Benson recently had to go in
and get major dental surgery. Hehad to have Let me back up,
because you don't know the history ofBenson. Benson is a rescue and Ben's
(15:01):
was found in a crackhouse. Hewas malnourished and not well taken care of.
As a function of that, he'salways had trouble with his teeth.
He had to have some nineteen teethremoved a couple of weeks ago. True
story. It costs a lot,Okay, it costs a lot, but
(15:24):
it still was going to be lessthan the cost of maintaining pet insurance one
hundred and sixty seven dollars per month. He's six years old. Now do
the math. One hundred and sixtyseven dollars per month over a year,
which is about close to nineteen hundreddollars a year over six years. We
(15:48):
have not spent that much. Now, if there's something which is major in
nature which may come on come alongdown the line, we have saved enough
money to be able to handle that. But for what I've seen and my
discussions with other pet owners, petinsurance is almost cost prohibitive at this point
(16:10):
given how much is being charged,and you heard it, and the piece
no annual exams. Well, inother words, we have to take in
our dogs after something is wrong.There's no real upside at that point.
We're gonna spend hundreds of dollars atleast I don't even know what the deductible
is, but you're gonna spend atleast nineteen hundred dollars per year. Nothing's
(16:36):
wrong as far as you know,and you can't even get preventive healthcare as
you would for a human being likeyou and me. At this point,
the way the pet healthcare system isset up, No, it doesn't make
sense as far as a financial investment. And I love my dogs. I
can't speak for Mark and how hetreated his cats. And I don't know
(16:59):
if no, no, I'm saying, I don't know if it's similar financially.
Well, i'll tell you. Theywere eighteen years old, both were
when they died fairly recently, andit cost an enormous amount of money their
last few years to get them thecare they needed. I mean, one
visit for one of them alone waslike four grand and it did nothing.
Nothing. So when they get laterin life, you're really gonna have to
(17:23):
make some hard decisions about what youwant to spend and do cost benefit analysis
of all that. Absolutely, andI think every pet owner knows that eventually
that time will come. But ifyou're putting up all this money on the
front end that you can't use onthe back end, then I don't know
what the upside is. Yeah,maybe it's like getting triple A insurance the
(17:47):
day before you go on a longtrip, Like maybe we should have waited
until they were sixteen and gotten somekind of insurance because we really spent an
awful lot of money. And I'mnot dumping on vets. I have a
friends who are vets. But theamount that you're charged, and you know,
you were talking about the surcharges thatwe don't know what they're for.
Try going to a vet sometimes andwhen they say, well we need this
(18:08):
eighteen hundred dollars scan, you're like, well, I love my pet.
I guess I have to get thatdone. Yeah. Yeah, I can't
disagree with anything you're saying. It'smore of an individual decision that we all
have to make. And financially,it doesn't make sense if you're trying to
get premium pet insurance that doesn't giveyou all the things that a premium insurance
(18:33):
plan would give us as people.I think, just to watch people's heads
explode, I want to recommend socializedhealthcare for all our bets for no good
real other than to antagonize people.At this point, you know, let
me just go ahead and be MaCob. I might as well just get
a colonial pen plan, you know, and just ensure my dogs for nine
(18:53):
to ninety nine a month because theygot the three p's, you know,
the price. What is it theysay in the colonial pen commercial a price
that you can afford, a pricethat doesn't change, and the price that
doesn't blow your bank account or somethinglike that. You know, Jonathan Lawson,
you haven't seen those. I'm notunfamiliar with all your peas. Oh
my goodness, are you gonna makeme pull up the damn commercial robin you're
(19:18):
working the board tonight. Are youeven familiar with Colonial Pen? Yeah?
Couldn't pull that microphone over there realquick, not even a little bit.
What if I said, Alex Trebekand Colonial Pen does that ring a bell?
Does Alex Trebek ring a bell?The last name rings a bell?
(19:40):
Oh my god, that is comingup goosegg on this whole exchange here,
aren't you? Okay, let meset here to tell you about the Colonial
Pen program. If your age fiftyto eighty five and looking to buy life
insurance on a fixed budget, rememberthe three p. Here we go the
three what? The three piece?The three The three piece of life insurance
on a fixed budget are price,price, and price. A price you
(20:06):
can afford, yeap, a pricethat can't increase, right, and a
price that fits your budget. Thattoo. I'm fifty four and I was
a smoker, But quit Alex what'smy price? You can get coverage for
nine dollars ninety five cents a month. I'm sixty five, retired and take
medications. What's my price? Also, idiots, I just turned eighty and
(20:27):
I'm on a fixed income. What'smy price? Probably about seven thousand dollars
for your casket. I think weknow what happened to Alex Trebek, now
don't we. You're not wrong.You're not wrong. Oh that was still
inappropriate, but I love you forit. Very quickly, before we go
(20:48):
to break Tucker Underscore, Pete tookissue with me on Instagram. First he
hit my wrong Instagram account, hitmy personal social media hit at later with
mo Kellowe created just for that.If you're gonna troll us right address,
this is Tucker Underscore. Peete,He says, listen to KFI since Loman
and Barkley mostly now, I onlytolerate Handle Conway and you tonight. You're
(21:12):
mocking and verbal intolerance of the protesterswas too much. KFI has really moved
to the dark side. Well,Tucker, I responded to you on Instagram.
I wan't respond to you on air, so you know it was actually
me. Yes, I did mockthe protesters, not the issue that they
were protesting. I mocked their methods. It was dumb, it was illogical,
(21:36):
it was illegal, and it hadno way of ever succeeding. You're
making demands on this campus that youdo not own, you don't have any
legal right to be there. Thedemands were never going to be met,
and after ignoring an order to disperse, of course, they were arrested.
They got nothing for their efforts.They trashed the camp, they committed vandalism,
(22:02):
and for what what did you gain? That to me is worthy of
mockery. Now, if you wantto go down the list and talk about
the Civil rights movement and also OccupyWall Street and Black Lives Matter and so
forth, I will make all thosecomparisons, and I can distinguish between why
(22:23):
the civil rights movement was successful andthose subsequent movements were not. And much
of it had to do with strategy, realistic goals, a specific ass as
it relates to legislation, and mostimportantly, retaining the moral authority. Like
when you had the civil rights protesterswho sat at the Woolworths counter, they
(22:45):
didn't trash the place and still gotarrested. But it also it led to
the passage, long story short ofthe Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights
Act. It's Later with mo Kellyk if I Am six forty Were Life
Everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. You'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Wehave some Disney news for you. Maybe
(23:11):
you're like Tuwala, who goes toDisneyland two or three times a year.
I don't know how he does it, and he usually goes with his ex
wife. He goes with his kids, sundered, his daughter, maybe two
or three other people. He hasmore money than I do. Because I
can't afford Disneyland. He goes multipletimes each year. The only time I've
(23:33):
gone to Disneyland in the past fifteenyears was because Disney had a media night
and I got a chance to go. I can't afford it. What,
okay, God? What? Thereason I'm bringing this up is because Disneyland
has unveiled new summer ticket deals.Beginning on May twenty ninth, parkgoers can
(23:56):
purchase a three day, one park, one one park per day weekday ticket,
starting at the very low price ofone hundred and forty nine dollars.
For children, and two hundred andforty nine dollars for adults. That is
a one park per day weekday ticket. Excuse me, I'm sorry, three
(24:19):
day, one part per day weekdayticket starting at one forty nine for children,
two forty nine for adults, andweekend tickets starting at one hundred ninety
nine dollars for children and two hundredninety nine dollars for adults. The weekday
ticket option can be used on Mondaysthrough Thursdays. Friday is considered part of
(24:41):
the weekend, and the weekend ticketoption can be used on Fridays through Sundays.
Upgrades like park Hopper tickets and DisneyGenie Plus services are also available to
purchase for a nominal fee like yourarm in your leg. Typically, standard
one day one park ticket start atninety four dollars per day, and we
(25:02):
can tickets can cost nearly two hundreddollars. So there's good news deals all
around. Three day, one parkper day weekday. Did you get that?
Three day, one park per dayweekday tickets are starting at one hundred
and forty nine dollars for crumb snatchersand two hundred and forty nine dollars for
(25:25):
the parents. Of the crumb snatcherseach parent, that is, and we
can tickets starting at one hundred andninety nine dollars for children each and two
hundred nine d nine dollars for adultseach, which brings me back to you,
Tuala money bags. Look, look, my daughter's birthday just passed.
(25:51):
Oh likely, excuse to look.Her birthday just passed, and she would
like to go to Disneyland. That'sthat's all she's wanted. So yes,
so we did save up. Waitwait, wait, this is the same
daughter went to see Taylor Swift.This is that same daughter. Okay,
this is the same Did you seeas well? No, no, no,
(26:11):
her mother just went by herself.Okay, Okay, she didn't.
She didn't do that. Okay,so she did see Taylor. And but
look, going to Disneyland. Thisis not like last year because last year
it was the cruise. Okay,so look the wait, people don't necessarily
remember last year she went on acruise to wear for it was like a
(26:33):
three day Caribbean cruise. Yes,in twenty twenty three, Yes, this
year, Taylor Taylor was Taylor's Taylor. You can't deny the swifty in in
my daughter can't watch. Look,no, that's the word. I wanted
to take my wife to see TaylorSwift. We're not talking about Taylor right
now. Okay, we're not talkingabout Taytay. We're talking about this once
(26:55):
in a lifetime trip, once ina lifetime as if you know this is
the you will last year they went, I wasn't oh no, no,
no, no, I did Idid. Yeah, I dig, I
dig. Okay. So but look, we're not talking about last year,
talking about this right now. Buthow can it be once in a lifetime
if you went last year? Well, I mean, because there are new
things happening that you're not going toexperience that won't be there during the summer.
(27:18):
You've got to go. Now whattable dances? What? No,
there's this stuff. It's Disney.There's always stuff. There's always something happening,
okay, and we need to seeit. There's something always happening in
a Walmart. Doesn't mean I needto go. There's always discounts if you
want to discount. There's something alwayshappened in a Walmart and waffle house.
And I don't go to either.Violence too, because because that the cheese,
(27:41):
that uh, that stroller stomping.That was that was bad over there,
very bad, very bad. Sothat's not what we're talking about.
The ticket prices right now, usingthe California discount and all that kind of
good stuff. It wasn't that bad. It really is not that bad when
you look at all things considered.You know, we're just going to the
one park. We're not park copying. How many people are in your party
(28:06):
for this trip to Disneyland, it'sfive of us, so we're talking roughly
in the realm of one thousand dollarsto walk through the door. No,
not a thousand. It's like Diddywith his entourage here. Hey, hey,
I want no Diddy comparison. Okay, we can go City out your
mouth, keep Diddy all the wayout your mouth. Oh, you don't
(28:26):
need to worry about that. Soif let's say you're going on a weekend
and it's Sunday, Sunday, sothat's a weekend, and it's three almost
one more dollars, three dollars,so it's three adults and two children,
or two adults and three children.We all equal adults because adults so children
(28:51):
is like like twelve or something likethat. Hold five adults. Then okay,
five adults the ticket. It's forthis special pass. No, no,
no, no, it's not specialtask because this doesn't start till May
twenty nine. Sorry. Sorry,they don't qualify whoever gets this pass starting
May twenty ninth, we'll have to. For a family of five, it's
(29:15):
forty four and ninety five dollars.And that's just for the tickets. That's
not including parking for the three daysyou need to go. And this is
this is after May twenty nine.This is the special. So that means
Twala did not get the special.He got the pre price special. No,
the pre do the math on MAthe pre price. But see now
(29:36):
you have to know that that byscrounging the internet and finding out the right
time to go to Disney, whichis right now, we're able to find
tickets roughly in in the one hundredeighty dollars range. Okay, that's close
to one thousand dollars. If mymath is still correct, five times one
hundred and eighty, you're still overnine hundred dollars, about nine hundred dollars.
(30:00):
I mean, look, look,what are we talking about now?
A lot of money, that's whatwe're talking about. Let Let's let's not
talk about that. Let's talk aboutthe ship. Let's talk about the joy.
Let's talk about the memories that willbe made. The parade is there,
all right? Right, but weknow that you haven't eaten yet.
You haven't parked yet, eating parkingthat's gonna happen. You haven't tipped anybody
(30:26):
yet. I'm the one that hasan annual pass and every time I go
to Disneyland, I want to cryhalf the time because it's so expensive.
No, look, tears will beshipped, tears will be shpit gad to
say there, we'll be crying.Did you take out a loan? Look?
Did you get a new credit card? I just want to get in
(30:48):
all your business. Look, let'snot get into my business. Let's just
say that you know, if Iif I come in with you know,
cast on my arm that I wasn'table to, you know, get back
what I need to to Big Willieto take care of this trip. Okay,
Well, let me get out ofyour business. Because, as I
said earlier in the show Tonight laterwith mo Kelly promised to give away a
(31:12):
family four pack to the Renaissance PleasureFair in Irwindale. It's twenty acres of
pure fun, thirteen stages which offera variety of entertainment all day long.
In addition, they will dazzle youwith a fully armored joust, the Queen

(31:33):
music, dance, parades, ridesand games. A family four pack

(31:59):

Caller number eight wins a family fourpack to the Renaissance Pleasure Fare in
Irwindale. You're listening to Later withMoe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty that before we get out ofhere, I've received more of your notes.
(32:19):
You are still mad at me aboutwhat I had to say in my
opening segment regarding the protests at UCLA. I am unmoved. I am a
student of history. There is adifference in distinction between mocking the method of
protests and mocking the issue behind theprotests. The issue is relevant, the
issue is worthy of debate and worthyof protests if you are so inclined,
(32:45):
but that does not legitimize any andall methodologies. There's a reason why the
Civil rights movement was actually successful,and mind you, it was over the
k over the course of more thana decade. It wasn't like two weeks
in no Park. There's a reasonwhy the Civil Rights movement was successful big
picture, and Occupy Wall Street wasnot. There's a reason why the Civil
(33:08):
Rights movement was successful and BLM wasnot. It has to do with methodology.
The issues which are being broached arelegitimate issues, but it does not
validate any and all methods which arebeing employed. I talk about effective protests.
(33:31):
I don't want to hear about it. Some people told me, well
they were braves to go out andprotests. Well, they went about it
in a stupid way. And I'mnot going to mince my words. Okay.
In the Civil Rights movement, wedidn't trash woolwarts at wilworts in our
protests, and people did go tojail, but they retained the moral authority,
(33:52):
and there was a messaging strategy.There were only singular people who were
speaking to the me and a coordinatedmessage to make sure that the movement did
not get hijacked and the message didnot get hijacked. I played you the
audio of these students who were somehowconfounded that law enforcement officers did their damn
(34:15):
job, or they were surprised thatthey were moved from their encampments. Why
because they had no legal right tosquat, to commit violence, or get
into fights, or commit vandalism onprivate property. It's not a public park,
and even if it were a publicpark, you would still need to
(34:36):
have a permit to protest. Itdoes not give you the right then to
do whatever you want to that supposedpublic park or public place. This was
all about the methodology. It's aboutwhat they did. It was doomed from
the start, and if you can'tseparate that from the seriousness of the issue,
that's a you problem, that's notmy problem. In fact, the
(34:59):
media that was there on site atUCLA last night, in the previous nights,
the people who were there at theencampment, they were antagonizing the media.
We talked about I asked Chris Adler. They were trying to shine lights
in her face and they wouldn't evenspeak to her about the issue. See,
that's how you messed up your ownmovement. And you want to get
your ass on your shoulders and saythat I got the dirty nerve to mock
(35:20):
them, Well, stop engaging inbehavior that is worthy worthy of mockery.
You can't have it both ways.You can't say please take it serious and
then act in an unseerious way,in an immature way, in an uncoordinated
way, in all this disarray.You didn't you heard from the audio I
(35:45):
played at the beginning of the show, they said, I don't know what's
next because you didn't plan that far. You didn't have a plan. You
didn't even know what to do whenthe police showed up. Well, I
could have told you what was gonnahappen. They had some four hundred police
officers out there. What do youthink it was going to happen? They're
gonna take your ass to jail.That's the only way that that story could
(36:05):
have ended. And did you know, even though I've been talking about this
every damn day, not one personfrom the encampment, not One person connected
to the protests reached out to meor campfire and said, Hey, I'm
a representative, I'm a leader.Da da da dah. We want to
be able to talk about this onair in an expanded form so people better
understand what we're doing and why we'rehere. But they didn't do that because
(36:27):
they don't know what they're doing.And if it comes up that they look
bad or people don't understand the seriousnessof the issue, that's on them.
That's not on me. I knowa little something about how successful movements work.
You have a moment, you generatemomentum. It turns into a movement.
But you're having a movement towards aspecific goal. It's not just what
you want. A goal is somethingwhich is attainable. You can't make demands
(36:51):
when you have no leverage. Youdon't have any leverage to make UCLA do
what you want. What are yougonna do? Drop out of school?
Stop paying your tuition. I gotnews for you. There's another class which
is coming in on about three months. It's called Freshmen. Okay, I
think I'm done. I got thatoff my chest. Yes you did,
(37:13):
Yes, you did. I getso frustrated They don't understand just because you
have something that you think is importantthat you want to talk about, you
want to yell about, you wantto protest about that, that somehow validates
everything that you do surrounding it.It does not. The individuals that are
out there, they put the sameimportance I believe on this protest that they
(37:34):
do on posting their latest meal ortheir latest outfit. They're not very serious.
They were doing it for the GRAM. They weren't serious about this.
There may have been people down therewho were, but then they got hijacked
with foolishness. The foolishness is whatis being mocked, the idea of making
a demand on the university. Ifyou don't get the do you think UCLA
(38:00):
is going to listen to you nowafter you trash Royce Hall, because clearly
you're okay with that. It wasn'tlike someone said, hey, hey,
we're very sorry about that. Thatwas not us. We didn't intend that
to happen. We want to havea legitimate conversation about how we could move
this forward. No, yeah,people complained about They didn't respect us,
they didn't show us any sympathy.They took all our stuff, they put
(38:22):
our tempts into trash. I can'ttake you seriously because you're not acting in
a serious way. I care aboutthis issue deeply. I have family members
on both sides of this issue.You can't tell me that I don't care,
but I definitely can say that Idon't care for your methods, and
you shouldn't be surprised when they fallshort. You're not a student of history.
(38:45):
You don't know about effective protesting,and if you do the same thing
the same way again is going tofail again. You didn't win any hearts
and minds by going about it thisway. All you did was make people
more angry and less sympathy athetic.If that was your goal. Will damn
congratulations, mission accomplish, job welldone. I'll see you tomorrow. K
