Speaker 1 (00:22):
Mister bo Kelly here k if I am six forty,
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Strange day. It was a really, really strange day. I
woke up, it was sunny, it was hot.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And then it started cooling off, and the clouds started
rolling in, and then all of a sudden, it started raining.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It straight started raining on the way in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
If I were in Washington, DC, or Miami, Florida, or
somewhere in the Midwest, I would be I wouldn't be,
you know, by any humidity and rain to kick off August.
But in Los Angeles, California, rather strange. And Mark Ronner
owes me an explanation because he did not warn us
(01:13):
about this last night. Oh, I wouldn't tolerate this if
I were you. Did it wreck your hair? It did
wreck my hair, and I just washed my car, and
I tend to think that my newly washed car had
to deal with the rain in August in California.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
What the hell is going on? Did it wrinkle your dress, ma'am? Yes,
it did. Yes. Nobody consulted me about this. I was
glad to wear linen and then it started raining.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, the linens are especially problematic in weather like this. No,
I didn't know anything about this until I showed up
today and I saw that tonight we have a twenty
percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. I thought we were
just hunkering down in the miserable heat for the duration.
But no, get a little bit of moisture. How about
Shawn some gratitude for once. Okay, I'll show some thank
(02:05):
you for that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That felt good.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plane, my
fair lady. Yes, oh Kelly, I just want to make yeah,
thank you for that. Okay, some serious business we have
to get to. There was another metro stabbing yesterday. We'll
tell you about that next segment. And there are new
rent hike limits which are going into place this week.
(02:30):
And they call them rent hike limits, but they're not
really limits. It just means that they can't.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Gouge you to death. But you know, we'll get into
that as well.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Did you know we have a new measles infection right
here in La You gotta feel proud. But here is
where I wanted to start the show tonight. We've talked
at length about the minimum wage increase for fast food workers.
(02:59):
It went from sixteen to twenty dollars an hour. There
was a lot of controversy about how that would impact
our economy, how that would impact prices for McDonald's, Wendy's,
Burger King, Subway, all those places had, and how many
people they would employ. Would they have to decrease their
hours for their employees, would they have to fire employees.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That was the discussion.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We've gone back and forth about the pros and cons,
the pluses and minuses, but they got Those workers got
twenty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
In a memo sent to KTLA Channel five News, SEIU,
the union which covers fast food workers, is asking that
the minimum wage for fast food workers, which just went
from sixteen dollars to twenty dollars an hour, be raised
again to twenty dollars and seventy cents per hour by
(03:57):
January first, twenty twenty five. We're talking about I don't know,
six months or so from sixteen dollars to twenty dollars
and then they're gonna raise it again, or at least
they're asking for it to twenty dollars and seventy cents
per hour.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Wait wait, wait, wait, there is more The.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Union is also demanding more stable schedules, broader oversight of
backpay ode to employees, and an investigation into what the
union says are pervasive abuses in the industry, such as
wage theft, harassment, discrimination, and unsafe conditions. Remember when you
(04:35):
were a kid from Mark RONNERD I know is a
longer time ago than me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh, let's just calm down with that stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
A long time ago, A very long time ago. When
you and I were kids, Remember you would go maybe
to the store, and you would say, Mommy, mommy, mommy,
or Daddy, Daddy, I really want that?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Can I get that toy? Can I please get that toy?
Can I get that game? Can I get that t shirt?
Can I get the whatever? I think?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We had vastly different childhoods. But please proceed. But you asked,
didn't you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Sure? Okay, wish in one hand? Right?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, Well you asked for it, and maybe, well maybe
it happened with Steph. Maybe Stephan knows what this is like.
And you ask and you get to be obnoxious, and
then your parents finally say, okay, just shut up. If
I get you this, what do they say, don't ask
for another thing? And you get the stuffed animal, you
(05:29):
get the video game, you get the toy, and you're happy, happy, happy,
and then on the ride home you say, hey, can
I get some McDonald's You want to.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Get something else. Wait a minute, I just told.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You when you asked for this and I gave it
to you, don't ask for another mumbling thing.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's what I feel like.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
This is are you comparing that to people asking for
a living wage for work? No?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, no no.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought to twenty dollars an hour was a living wage.
I thought that was it, because you know why, that's
what they asked for. That's specifically the amount they asked for.
That's not what they negotiated. They said we want twenty
dollars an hour. If it wasn't like they said we
want twenty three dollars an hour, and then then they
met in the middle and said, okay, we will agree
to twenty dollars an hour. So they say, go big upfront.
(06:13):
It's not what you're supposed to do. You're always supposed
to ask for either too much, so you can come
back to what you really want.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I mean, that's often my model.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, the worst that can happen to you is
a slap in the face, although the my situation might
be slightly different.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
From the one you're talking about. But I see what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But why are you going to ask for twenty dollars
an hour just to ask for twenty dollars and seventy
five cents.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Less than a year later?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you actually think that you have any traction, that
you have any momentum or leverage to ask for another
raise less than a year later when you just got
a four dollar raise in March.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
If I'm not.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Mistaken, I think maybe you're having issues with the framing.
Think of it MO as more of an icebreaker. Ask
for the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
First one, and then you know, you soften people up
for subsequent.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Ass No, no, no, that's not a good negotiating technique. Okay,
if you need the twenty let's just call it twenty
one dollars an hour, huh. If you need the twenty
one dollars an hour, then damn it, asks for twenty two.
And then you can think, or at least make the
opposition think that, Okay, you're not getting everything that you
ask for and you end up with twenty one, But
to ask for twenty going.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
From sixteen dollars an hour, that is a considerable increase.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And then you turn around, let's say four months letters
say you know what, I need a little bit more money.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You're gonna have people with master's degrees going to McDonald's
and Del Taco at some point. No, you won't. And
here's why, and this is how I'm going to end
the segment.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
These jobs won't exist that much longer because of automation
or what have you. These jobs are not going to
exist long term. And if you are fighting for twenty
one dollars an hour for the person who is handling
the fries or mopping the floor. Sorry to sound dismissive,
but that is what we're talking about. Just know that
(08:02):
these jobs have already been in large part replaced by rumba.
I'm sorry, never mind. KFI six forty we're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Stabbing Metro Wednesday morning in the Florence neighborhood of South LA.
The attack was reported at eight thirty five am at
the Slawson station. The suspected attacker only described described as
a Hispanic man about thirty years old, attacked another person,
and this is according to the LAPD. The attacker was
(08:42):
last seen wearing a white painter's suit. Hear me out,
I'm beginning to suspect that people are viewing Metro like
they do seven elevens easy targets because of where you are.
Seven eleven obviously presents itself as an easier target than
(09:04):
a MPM circle, k RCO whatever. And it seems that
people who are at Metro or on a bus or
on a train are presenting themselves as easier to be
attacked because the attackers clearly know to go after someone
(09:25):
at a Metro station, on a Metro bus, or a
Metro train. The saddest part about all of this is
all this would go away if they just had tap
out there and they forced people to never mind. Okay, well,
what's funnier in my head? When I said it tap out?
You know, like you have to tap to exit?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Uh huh, Well, fush need to feel a little quicker
on the rim shot?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I guess no, it just it just seemed fat funnier
when I when I was saying it in my head,
it didn't It didn't come out that way.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But it doesn't everything honestly as foul foul just between
you and me and nobody's listening. Where's Nancy Bass when
you need her?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Seriously? Can you get her in here? Okay, I'll call
for day anyhow.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Can I just let me say something since you're talking
about Metro, the weird thing that we talk about this
all the time. Last night I was on a Reddit
thread about best kept secrets in La, like life hacks
for living in LA, and Metro was one of.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Those, as in a better way to get around the city. Yeah,
believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, that was probably written by someone who doesn't actually
live here or has never written Metro.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I mean, you can't tell if people on Reddit are
sane or insane, well generally, but I say you can
tell they're insane on Reddit. But these seemed like fairly
rational people pointing out how easy it made their lives.
Apart from the old getting stabbed in the chest thing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It would make your life easier, It would make your
commute if you didn't have to also deal with the
other unintended consequences of having to you know, fit in
for your life.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, they might have omitted some key details.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I happen to believe those lists are just for I
think they're plants people who want to encourage use of
the Metro or give them some more positive shine. Because
anyone who's lived in LA, anyone who's aware of what's
been happening in LA for the better part of a
year and a half at least, would know that. Anyone
(11:33):
who would say that, hey, you ought to go ride
Metro or something, what is the only response to that
that's it?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, or I'm scared for my life. Just a second,
Hold up here. You are trying to suggest, though, that
Metro has like a sleeper cell spreading pro Metro propaganda
on Reddit or No.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I believe that most major corporations they will plant positive reviews.
I know that they pay for stories. I'm saying companies
will pay for stories. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, that's not
new at all. Who has anything good to say about Metro?
I would love to meet that person just so I
could tell them that's I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
They'd be happy to drive here and park so that
you could give that to them.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Remember how switching gears very quickly. Remember how earlier in
the week, or maybe it was last week, maybe earlier
in the week, we were talking about the possible expansion
of Metro to the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Right, and it's going to take a really long time.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, they won't even start until twenty forty one. Here's
another example I think of planning positive stories. Now, there's
a story out there that there's a plan to connect
the San Fernando Valley with the west Side. If it
took until twenty forty one, presumably to put in a
Metro stop at the Hollywood Bowl, how long do you
(12:52):
think it would take to connect the San Fernando Valley
to the west side.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Silkeel Freeway has one of the worst reputations for having
horrendous try traffic, especially as you get closer to the
Sepulvida Pass. It's the four or five Freeway and drivers
have nicknamed it for its bad rep.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, hey, did I say for its bad breath? Bad breath?
For its bad rep? Well it's greatlock.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You know that story where they say the four or
five is the world's biggest parking lot. That's the fillion I'm.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Getting During the holidays, it turns into candy Cane Lane
because of the ribbon of non stump red and white lines.
This daily four or five commuter says driving through the
Sepulveda Pass is probably one of the worst parts of
her day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Exactly what's the freeways a living And it's a nightmare,
It's a true nightmare.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, there's a proposal to ease the traffic headache. The
Planets have built a fully automated rapid transit line to
connect the San Fernando Valley to.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
The west side.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
The line would also connect with Metro's current and future stops,
including a stop in the heart of UCLA's campus. It
would go as fast as seventy miles per hour.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
That would connect Van Nuys all the way down to
the Expo line in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh so they're going to talk about a bus with
its own lane basically now, that may not take twenty
five years to build.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I think the plus aspect of all of this is
that it'll all be ready by the time you and
I are no longer allowed or able to drive.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, just perfect time. But you didn't live out here.
I don't think I know Stephan would remember this. Remember
when they were widening the four or five freeway, Oh yes,
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And it took four freaking ever was it candy cane lane.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Then no, no, no, it was worse because they're trying to
do construction while people were still driving.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That doesn't sound as festive as candy cane lane.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And it got to a point where I thought that
was going to be our our that's like, that's what
it was going to be forever.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I really thought that it was going to make a
difference because they were cutting out portions of hillsides, yeah,
to add lanes, and it made absolutely no difference at all.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Well, it's like the diffusion of gas in a space.
It's going to take up all the space, no matter
how much there is. Well, I've lived.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Here long enough to see every iteration of this is
going to be the magic bullet for traffic. I remember
when they were doing the one oh five freeway and
they said that's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's gonna be a game changer. It's gonna take away
all the traffic. It didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They widened the four or five freeway, they did all
that construction on the five freeway far south.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
None of it has helped at all.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We've had people lead the state of California talk about
people are leaving left and right hasn't helped.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It's still real bad. Oh yeah, there's no magic bullet,
just road rage bullets.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm on Fosi. Don't be stingy with me, Foosi. No,
that's that's inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well, that's a good time to start worrying about that
a couple of years in.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You know me, I'm all about boundaries. Oh yeah, timeliness too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look at the time, it's Later with Mokelly if I
Am six forty were lived everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And the rent is too damn high.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But we're gonna tell you what is being done to
maybe limit it from going higher.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We'll see you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
With FU.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
We often complain about how expensive it is to live
in California, especially southern California. We complain about the cost
of living and how the groceries cost so much, or
how much fast food may cost. And Mark Ronner and
I we have this ongoing conversation. We go back and forth.
We talk about part of this is self inflicted, part
(16:49):
of it is what we've asked for, and I've said
time and time again, we had multiple chances to vote
in some form of legitimate rent control. We said no
both times, and now we are complaining about the rent
being too damn high. Let me give you an example
(17:12):
of just some of the things which have been passed
or have been implemented in how ineffective they actually are.
As of today, there is a new limit on rent
increases which has gone into effect in both LA and Orange.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Counties starting today.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The maximum rent increase for both LA and Orange County
is eight point nine percent, which is a slight increase
from last year's eight point eight percent. Okay, rent control
less effective than last year. What is eight point nine percent? Okay,
Let's say you're paying twenty five hundred a month in rent,
(17:52):
which is nominal in LA.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Twenty five hundred a month.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That just means that it can be upped another two
hundred and twenty two dollars next year, which means you'll
be paying about another twenty six hundred dollars over the
course of a year.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And that would be within the law.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
That has nothing to do with who's president, That has
nothing to do with whose governor, that has nothing to
do with I'll say, the cost of living. It just
has to do with unfettered capitalism. There are more renters
than landlords. Okay, you're voting against your own interests. I wish,
(18:37):
I wish that there was such a guaranteed return on
investment as real estate elsewhere. Let's just say you own
a building and you know that you can guarantee yourself
an eight point nine percent increase on your return and
investment every single year, and that's within the law. Wait
(19:00):
a minute, and that's not like everyone is acting within
the law.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
See, that's just LA and Orange County.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Wider California is governed by the California Tenant Protection Act,
and under the Tenant Protection Act, the total increase for
the year cannot top ten percent. So if you live
outside of LA and Orange County, I don't know, like
Ventura County or San Diego County, San Bernardino County. So forth,
you get the idea they can legally raise your rent
(19:30):
ten percent, and oftentimes people don't know that that is
the stated maximum, and mini landlords operate outside that and
they will raise someone's rent more than ten percent. No, MO,
they wouldn't do that, Yes they would. They did it
in Inglewood. When they were building Sofi Stadium, they had
people who had their rents doubled overnight, and people did
(19:53):
not know the law and they were forced out and
they didn't have the money to fight it in court.
This isn't new. This is just how we choose to
live here in California. We don't want rent control, but
we sure have a lot of energy to complain about
the rent being too damn high when we were the
ones who had the opportunity to do something about it.
(20:14):
And you know, it's almost like the line from Independence
Day and you did nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You do then, and you did nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You had a chance to keep your rent from going
sky high every single year. And the best you can
hope for is your landlord is a good person, a
decent person, and doesn't try to raise your rent eight
point nine percent each year. Let's say you're in a
(20:44):
six month lease. You know they may do it at
the end of the six months. This is something within
our control, and we chose not to control it. We
complained about the number of people who are homeless. There's
a connection here. Plain about the cost of living, there's
a connection here. All these things are connected. And if
(21:06):
you want to say like, well, it's because of Governor
Gavin Newsom, it's because of Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I got news for you.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Whoever's going to be our next governor and whoever's going
to be our next president is not going to impact
this at all because landlords are still going to raise
the rent. Why because they've been illegally empowered to do
so in LA and Orange County eight point nine percent
every year. And I'm just saying, let's say your rent
(21:32):
is twenty five hundred, and that's nominal here in southern California,
you're doing well. If you got to let's say a
two bedroom for twenty five hundred. I don't know where,
but let's say that's the case. It's going to go
up by a good two hundred and twenty two dollars
if your landlord so chooses, and it will be well
within his or her right. And you think like it's
(21:54):
not fair. No, it is fair because you had a
chance to do something about it. Well, let me take
it back. Not enough people who had the opportunity did
anything about it to prevent it. And there was a time,
I think coming out of the Great Recession, where economically,
financially it was a better option to rent. It was
(22:16):
a better option to rent at that time than to
own property here in California because most of us who
owned property were underwater. I remember this. I have no
problem telling this story. I bought my first townhouse in
two thousand and six, two years before everything went, you know,
through the floor, for three hundred and forty thousand dollars,
(22:39):
two bedroom, two bath townhouse, Torrant Area. By two thousand
and eight purchase price three hundred and forty thousand, it
was worth one hundred and fifteen thousand. Okay, but that's
about one of the few times has ever happened in
California real estate history. And so a lot of people
were saying, well, it's better all that I just rent.
(23:01):
And at that time, yes, that's the case. But now
if you own property, you don't have to worry about
Let's see, say you're locked into a thirty year mortgage.
I know this is turning into a financial show. I
didn't mean for that to happen, but it just happened.
But you know, my mortgage is not going to go
up eight point nine percent every single year. And the
(23:21):
flip side is if you are ready, it makes it
cost prohibitive, if not impossible, to save any money to
get off that hamster wheel, because you know that you
have to almost figure in and bake in an extra
eight point nine percent tax, which is exponential in nature
from year to year.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Preach, this is just basic math.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Now, I got the pullpit right now, You understand the
pullpit talking to the masses.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Because but we're concerned about homelessness. No we're not. No,
we're not.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Because someone is going to have their rent raised eight
point nine percent in LA or Orange County, or maybe
up to ten percent or more illegally outside of LA
and Orange County, and they're gonna end up homeless. And
we're gonna be mad because someone is living in there
RV outside our house, or they're living in their car,
or they're just straight living on the street in a
(24:20):
cardboard box. And for some reason we don't see that
all these things are connected. I wonder why it's Later
with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty we are live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when we come back,
we have more good news. Just say, let's say you're
you're not homeless. Let's say that you know your rent
only went up seven percent this past year. I'm here
to tell you it could be worse. You could have
(24:43):
contracted measles. Well you might still. You know it's not
too late.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What disease?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Is there a song about?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Come on, come on boom boom?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Know what about the measles song? The measles song?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
What kind of measles song?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's called it?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
It's called the German measles song, the German measo song.
You're the German measos song.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I've heard of the German measles. But you heard of
a German meso song?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You heard of the German measles?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Maybe there isn't one.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We'relive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
A person with measles traveled on Norse Atlantic Airways flight
Z zero seven to one one to the Tom Bradley
International Terminal at lax at about two fifteen pm on
July twenty six, then traveled to Orange County. It's not
(25:53):
clear from this whether that means they got in an uber,
did they take like the people move or some sh
shuttle or they got a taxi or a friend picked
them up and just says travel to Orange County. This
is according to the LA Department of Public Health. But
Department of Public Health is saying if you were in
(26:13):
the Tom Bradley International Terminal or Terminal B between two
thirty and four pm that day, which could mean thousands
and thousands of people, if you're one of those thousands
or thousands, you are at risk of developing measles. And
it also says if you believe you are exposed, wait
(26:36):
for it, check your measles vaccination status. Now why would
they say that, because, oh, yeah, there is a vaccine
out there, Because measles was pretty much eradicated until COVID
and then people stopped immunizing and inoculating their kids, and
(26:56):
now we're dealing with measles and pertussis whooping cough none.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That that's actually before they were already anti vaccine, long
before COVID.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
COVID just brought it all out. That's when all of
the anti vaxxers went nuts. But I remember there was
a big fight and we discussed on The mo' kelly
show when I got lott Lots when it came back
like they actually accused you of pushing vaccines.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Like I was getting paid or something.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, yeah, you look, far be it from me to
apologize for wanting people to be safe and healthy. You know,
that's not something I'm going to apologize for. But all
these things are connected. If you look at the fact
that polio is made a comeback, measles has made a comeback,
name of a disease that wasn't around, with exception of smallpox.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I think smallpox is waiting. Maybe that's next year.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But just about all these old diseases have come back,
and it's directly connected to a refusal to vaccinate children
and then they turn into adults and and then these
diseases wreak havoc among us. And you know, there are
incidents where schools have been shut down, amusement parks have
been shut down. I don't know what they're gonna do
with lax but you know, there's there's a reason that
(28:19):
we're it's frustrating, it's really really frustrating.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Didn't bubonic plague?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, but but we don't.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Have a vaccine for that here in the United States?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, Okay, damn it, mon, next you're going to be
telling me not to drink raw milk. You and your
liberal pro science agenda.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
What's wrong with you this? Okay? Stephan wouldn't remember this,
and Mark, you weren't living in la But there.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Was an exercise duo we talked about it in general
called the body Buddies and the body Buddies what are
their main sponsors? Was something something I don't remember the
name of the brand, but it was raw milk, And
I remember growing up it's like, what the hell is
raw milk? In my mind, not understanding what pasturized was
(29:11):
back then, I thought all milk was raw, as in
like uncooked.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, you just get it straight out of the utter, right, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So, and it was one of those things which was
really being pushed, especially in the late nineteen seventies, as
the alternative to pasteurize milk. And then you get a
little older, for at least for me and my generation,
you realize, oh, pasturizing is to keep us from getting
sick and dying from it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Got it? Got it because you're not going to drink
it the same day it comes from from the cow.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So you know, you know, you see we're talking about
Reddit earlier, and you see all sorts of all sorts
of wisdom from these geniuses. Somebody was talking about how
raw milk really isn't that dangerous as long as you
boil itities Yeah, some fancy thinking there, sir, Yeah, right, Yeah,
(30:00):
you're gonna get your raw milk and then you're gonna
boil it when you get home so it's safe to consume,
or something like that, or or wait, wait, wait, you know,
give me a minute here.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Or you can just go ahead and buy the pasteurized
milk and take it to the head as soon as
you get home, which.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Has already been boiled and pasteurized and they got all
the blood.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Don't don't.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Don't talk about the science, the science, big government in
your face stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
How dare you? How dare you? I'm sorry? I believe
the Earth is round? I'm sorry. I believe that we
landed on the moon. Oh pump the brakes. No, no, no,
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Go ahead and send your hate mail to at mister
mo'kelly on Twitter. I'll be sure not to read it there.
Can if I am six forty, we're live everywhere at
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Can if I am six forty the news what it means?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Why you Matter, k s I and k os t
h D two Los Angeles live everywhere on the radio,
Mister bo Kelly here k if I am six forty,
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Strange day. It was a really, really strange day. I
woke up, it was sunny, it was hot.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And then it started cooling off, and the clouds started
rolling in, and then all of a sudden, it started raining.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It straight started raining on the way in.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
If I were in Washington, DC, or Miami, Florida, or
somewhere in the Midwest, I would be I wouldn't be,
you know, by any humidity and rain to kick off August.
But in Los Angeles, California, rather strange. And Mark Ronner
owes me an explanation because he did not warn us
(01:13):
about this last night. Oh, I wouldn't tolerate this if
I were you. Did it wreck your hair? It did
wreck my hair, and I just washed my car, and
I tend to think that my newly washed car had
to deal with the rain in August in California.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
What the hell is going on? Did it wrinkle your dress, ma'am? Yes,
it did. Yes. Nobody consulted me about this. I was
glad to wear linen and then it started raining.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, the linens are especially problematic in weather like this. No,
I didn't know anything about this until I showed up
today and I saw that tonight we have a twenty
percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. I thought we were
just hunkering down in the miserable heat for the duration.
But no, get a little bit of moisture. How about
Shawn some gratitude for once. Okay, I'll show some thank
(02:05):
you for that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That felt good.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plane, my
fair lady. Yes, oh Kelly, I just want to make yeah,
thank you for that. Okay, some serious business we have
to get to. There was another metro stabbing yesterday. We'll
tell you about that next segment. And there are new
rent hike limits which are going into place this week.
(02:30):
And they call them rent hike limits, but they're not
really limits. It just means that they can't.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Gouge you to death. But you know, we'll get into
that as well.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Did you know we have a new measles infection right
here in La You gotta feel proud. But here is
where I wanted to start the show tonight. We've talked
at length about the minimum wage increase for fast food workers.
(02:59):
It went from sixteen to twenty dollars an hour. There
was a lot of controversy about how that would impact
our economy, how that would impact prices for McDonald's, Wendy's,
Burger King, Subway, all those places had, and how many
people they would employ. Would they have to decrease their
hours for their employees, would they have to fire employees.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That was the discussion.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We've gone back and forth about the pros and cons,
the pluses and minuses, but they got Those workers got
twenty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
In a memo sent to KTLA Channel five News, SEIU,
the union which covers fast food workers, is asking that
the minimum wage for fast food workers, which just went
from sixteen dollars to twenty dollars an hour, be raised
again to twenty dollars and seventy cents per hour by
(03:57):
January first, twenty twenty five. We're talking about I don't know,
six months or so from sixteen dollars to twenty dollars
and then they're gonna raise it again, or at least
they're asking for it to twenty dollars and seventy cents
per hour.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Wait wait, wait, wait, there is more The.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Union is also demanding more stable schedules, broader oversight of
backpay ode to employees, and an investigation into what the
union says are pervasive abuses in the industry, such as
wage theft, harassment, discrimination, and unsafe conditions. Remember when you
(04:35):
were a kid from Mark RONNERD I know is a
longer time ago than me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Oh, let's just calm down with that stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
A long time ago, A very long time ago. When
you and I were kids, Remember you would go maybe
to the store, and you would say, Mommy, mommy, mommy,
or Daddy, Daddy, I really want that?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Can I get that toy? Can I please get that toy?
Can I get that game? Can I get that t shirt?
Can I get the whatever? I think?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
We had vastly different childhoods. But please proceed. But you asked,
didn't you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Sure? Okay, wish in one hand? Right?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, Well you asked for it, and maybe, well maybe
it happened with Steph. Maybe Stephan knows what this is like.
And you ask and you get to be obnoxious, and
then your parents finally say, okay, just shut up. If
I get you this, what do they say, don't ask
for another thing? And you get the stuffed animal, you
(05:29):
get the video game, you get the toy, and you're happy, happy, happy,
and then on the ride home you say, hey, can
I get some McDonald's You want to.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Get something else. Wait a minute, I just told.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You when you asked for this and I gave it
to you, don't ask for another mumbling thing.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's what I feel like.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
This is are you comparing that to people asking for
a living wage for work? No?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, no no.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought to twenty dollars an hour was a living wage.
I thought that was it, because you know why, that's
what they asked for. That's specifically the amount they asked for.
That's not what they negotiated. They said we want twenty
dollars an hour. If it wasn't like they said we
want twenty three dollars an hour, and then then they
met in the middle and said, okay, we will agree
to twenty dollars an hour. So they say, go big upfront.
(06:13):
It's not what you're supposed to do. You're always supposed
to ask for either too much, so you can come
back to what you really want.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I mean, that's often my model.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I mean, the worst that can happen to you is
a slap in the face, although the my situation might
be slightly different.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
From the one you're talking about. But I see what
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But why are you going to ask for twenty dollars
an hour just to ask for twenty dollars and seventy
five cents.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Less than a year later?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you actually think that you have any traction, that
you have any momentum or leverage to ask for another
raise less than a year later when you just got
a four dollar raise in March.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
If I'm not.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Mistaken, I think maybe you're having issues with the framing.
Think of it MO as more of an icebreaker. Ask
for the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
First one, and then you know, you soften people up
for subsequent.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Ass No, no, no, that's not a good negotiating technique. Okay,
if you need the twenty let's just call it twenty
one dollars an hour, huh. If you need the twenty
one dollars an hour, then damn it, asks for twenty two.
And then you can think, or at least make the
opposition think that, Okay, you're not getting everything that you
ask for and you end up with twenty one, But
to ask for twenty going.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
From sixteen dollars an hour, that is a considerable increase.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And then you turn around, let's say four months letters
say you know what, I need a little bit more money.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
You're gonna have people with master's degrees going to McDonald's
and Del Taco at some point. No, you won't. And
here's why, and this is how I'm going to end
the segment.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
These jobs won't exist that much longer because of automation
or what have you. These jobs are not going to
exist long term. And if you are fighting for twenty
one dollars an hour for the person who is handling
the fries or mopping the floor. Sorry to sound dismissive,
but that is what we're talking about. Just know that
(08:02):
these jobs have already been in large part replaced by rumba.
I'm sorry, never mind. KFI six forty we're live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Stabbing Metro Wednesday morning in the Florence neighborhood of South LA.
The attack was reported at eight thirty five am at
the Slawson station. The suspected attacker only described described as
a Hispanic man about thirty years old, attacked another person,
and this is according to the LAPD. The attacker was
(08:42):
last seen wearing a white painter's suit. Hear me out,
I'm beginning to suspect that people are viewing Metro like
they do seven elevens easy targets because of where you are.
Seven eleven obviously presents itself as an easier target than
(09:04):
a MPM circle, k RCO whatever. And it seems that
people who are at Metro or on a bus or
on a train are presenting themselves as easier to be
attacked because the attackers clearly know to go after someone
(09:25):
at a Metro station, on a Metro bus, or a
Metro train. The saddest part about all of this is
all this would go away if they just had tap
out there and they forced people to never mind. Okay, well,
what's funnier in my head? When I said it tap out?
You know, like you have to tap to exit?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Uh huh, Well, fush need to feel a little quicker
on the rim shot?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I guess no, it just it just seemed fat funnier
when I when I was saying it in my head,
it didn't It didn't come out that way.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But it doesn't everything honestly as foul foul just between
you and me and nobody's listening. Where's Nancy Bass when
you need her?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Seriously? Can you get her in here? Okay, I'll call
for day anyhow.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Can I just let me say something since you're talking
about Metro, the weird thing that we talk about this
all the time. Last night I was on a Reddit
thread about best kept secrets in La, like life hacks
for living in LA, and Metro was one of.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Those, as in a better way to get around the city. Yeah,
believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, that was probably written by someone who doesn't actually
live here or has never written Metro.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I mean, you can't tell if people on Reddit are
sane or insane, well generally, but I say you can
tell they're insane on Reddit. But these seemed like fairly
rational people pointing out how easy it made their lives.
Apart from the old getting stabbed in the chest thing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It would make your life easier, It would make your
commute if you didn't have to also deal with the
other unintended consequences of having to you know, fit in
for your life.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, they might have omitted some key details.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I happen to believe those lists are just for I
think they're plants people who want to encourage use of
the Metro or give them some more positive shine. Because
anyone who's lived in LA, anyone who's aware of what's
been happening in LA for the better part of a
year and a half at least, would know that. Anyone
(11:33):
who would say that, hey, you ought to go ride
Metro or something, what is the only response to that
that's it?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, or I'm scared for my life. Just a second,
Hold up here. You are trying to suggest, though, that
Metro has like a sleeper cell spreading pro Metro propaganda
on Reddit or No.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I believe that most major corporations they will plant positive reviews.
I know that they pay for stories. I'm saying companies
will pay for stories. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, that's not
new at all. Who has anything good to say about Metro?
I would love to meet that person just so I
could tell them that's I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
They'd be happy to drive here and park so that
you could give that to them.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Remember how switching gears very quickly. Remember how earlier in
the week, or maybe it was last week, maybe earlier
in the week, we were talking about the possible expansion
of Metro to the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Right, and it's going to take a really long time.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, they won't even start until twenty forty one. Here's
another example I think of planning positive stories. Now, there's
a story out there that there's a plan to connect
the San Fernando Valley with the west Side. If it
took until twenty forty one, presumably to put in a
Metro stop at the Hollywood Bowl, how long do you
(12:52):
think it would take to connect the San Fernando Valley
to the west side.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Silkeel Freeway has one of the worst reputations for having
horrendous try traffic, especially as you get closer to the
Sepulvida Pass. It's the four or five Freeway and drivers
have nicknamed it for its bad rep.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, hey, did I say for its bad breath? Bad breath?
For its bad rep? Well it's greatlock.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You know that story where they say the four or
five is the world's biggest parking lot. That's the fillion I'm.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Getting During the holidays, it turns into candy Cane Lane
because of the ribbon of non stump red and white lines.
This daily four or five commuter says driving through the
Sepulveda Pass is probably one of the worst parts of
her day.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Exactly what's the freeways a living And it's a nightmare,
It's a true nightmare.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, there's a proposal to ease the traffic headache. The
Planets have built a fully automated rapid transit line to
connect the San Fernando Valley to.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
The west side.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
The line would also connect with Metro's current and future stops,
including a stop in the heart of UCLA's campus. It
would go as fast as seventy miles per hour.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
That would connect Van Nuys all the way down to
the Expo line in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Oh so they're going to talk about a bus with
its own lane basically now, that may not take twenty
five years to build.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I think the plus aspect of all of this is
that it'll all be ready by the time you and
I are no longer allowed or able to drive.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Well, just perfect time. But you didn't live out here.
I don't think I know Stephan would remember this. Remember
when they were widening the four or five freeway, Oh yes,
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And it took four freaking ever was it candy cane lane.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Then no, no, no, it was worse because they're trying to
do construction while people were still driving.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That doesn't sound as festive as candy cane lane.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And it got to a point where I thought that
was going to be our our that's like, that's what
it was going to be forever.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I really thought that it was going to make a
difference because they were cutting out portions of hillsides, yeah,
to add lanes, and it made absolutely no difference at all.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Well, it's like the diffusion of gas in a space.
It's going to take up all the space, no matter
how much there is. Well, I've lived.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Here long enough to see every iteration of this is
going to be the magic bullet for traffic. I remember
when they were doing the one oh five freeway and
they said that's gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's gonna be a game changer. It's gonna take away
all the traffic. It didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They widened the four or five freeway, they did all
that construction on the five freeway far south.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
None of it has helped at all.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
We've had people lead the state of California talk about
people are leaving left and right hasn't helped.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
It's still real bad. Oh yeah, there's no magic bullet,
just road rage bullets.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm on Fosi. Don't be stingy with me, Foosi. No,
that's that's inappropriate.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well, that's a good time to start worrying about that
a couple of years in.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You know me, I'm all about boundaries. Oh yeah, timeliness too.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Look at the time, it's Later with Mokelly if I
Am six forty were lived everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And the rent is too damn high.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But we're gonna tell you what is being done to
maybe limit it from going higher.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
We'll see you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
With FU.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
We often complain about how expensive it is to live
in California, especially southern California. We complain about the cost
of living and how the groceries cost so much, or
how much fast food may cost. And Mark Ronner and
I we have this ongoing conversation. We go back and forth.
We talk about part of this is self inflicted, part
(16:49):
of it is what we've asked for, and I've said
time and time again, we had multiple chances to vote
in some form of legitimate rent control. We said no
both times, and now we are complaining about the rent
being too damn high. Let me give you an example
(17:12):
of just some of the things which have been passed
or have been implemented in how ineffective they actually are.
As of today, there is a new limit on rent
increases which has gone into effect in both LA and Orange.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Counties starting today.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
The maximum rent increase for both LA and Orange County
is eight point nine percent, which is a slight increase
from last year's eight point eight percent. Okay, rent control
less effective than last year. What is eight point nine percent? Okay,
Let's say you're paying twenty five hundred a month in rent,
(17:52):
which is nominal in LA.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Twenty five hundred a month.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That just means that it can be upped another two
hundred and twenty two dollars next year, which means you'll
be paying about another twenty six hundred dollars over the
course of a year.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And that would be within the law.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
That has nothing to do with who's president, That has
nothing to do with whose governor, that has nothing to
do with I'll say, the cost of living. It just
has to do with unfettered capitalism. There are more renters
than landlords. Okay, you're voting against your own interests. I wish,
(18:37):
I wish that there was such a guaranteed return on
investment as real estate elsewhere. Let's just say you own
a building and you know that you can guarantee yourself
an eight point nine percent increase on your return and
investment every single year, and that's within the law. Wait
(19:00):
a minute, and that's not like everyone is acting within
the law.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
See, that's just LA and Orange County.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Wider California is governed by the California Tenant Protection Act,
and under the Tenant Protection Act, the total increase for
the year cannot top ten percent. So if you live
outside of LA and Orange County, I don't know, like
Ventura County or San Diego County, San Bernardino County. So forth,
you get the idea they can legally raise your rent
(19:30):
ten percent, and oftentimes people don't know that that is
the stated maximum, and mini landlords operate outside that and
they will raise someone's rent more than ten percent. No, MO,
they wouldn't do that, Yes they would. They did it
in Inglewood. When they were building Sofi Stadium, they had
people who had their rents doubled overnight, and people did
(19:53):
not know the law and they were forced out and
they didn't have the money to fight it in court.
This isn't new. This is just how we choose to
live here in California. We don't want rent control, but
we sure have a lot of energy to complain about
the rent being too damn high when we were the
ones who had the opportunity to do something about it.
(20:14):
And you know, it's almost like the line from Independence
Day and you did nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You do then, and you did nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You had a chance to keep your rent from going
sky high every single year. And the best you can
hope for is your landlord is a good person, a
decent person, and doesn't try to raise your rent eight
point nine percent each year. Let's say you're in a
(20:44):
six month lease. You know they may do it at
the end of the six months. This is something within
our control, and we chose not to control it. We
complained about the number of people who are homeless. There's
a connection here. Plain about the cost of living, there's
a connection here. All these things are connected. And if
(21:06):
you want to say like, well, it's because of Governor
Gavin Newsom, it's because of Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I got news for you.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Whoever's going to be our next governor and whoever's going
to be our next president is not going to impact
this at all because landlords are still going to raise
the rent. Why because they've been illegally empowered to do
so in LA and Orange County eight point nine percent
every year. And I'm just saying, let's say your rent
(21:32):
is twenty five hundred, and that's nominal here in southern California,
you're doing well. If you got to let's say a
two bedroom for twenty five hundred. I don't know where,
but let's say that's the case. It's going to go
up by a good two hundred and twenty two dollars
if your landlord so chooses, and it will be well
within his or her right. And you think like it's
(21:54):
not fair. No, it is fair because you had a
chance to do something about it. Well, let me take
it back. Not enough people who had the opportunity did
anything about it to prevent it. And there was a time,
I think coming out of the Great Recession, where economically,
financially it was a better option to rent. It was
(22:16):
a better option to rent at that time than to
own property here in California because most of us who
owned property were underwater. I remember this. I have no
problem telling this story. I bought my first townhouse in
two thousand and six, two years before everything went, you know,
through the floor, for three hundred and forty thousand dollars,
(22:39):
two bedroom, two bath townhouse, Torrant Area. By two thousand
and eight purchase price three hundred and forty thousand, it
was worth one hundred and fifteen thousand. Okay, but that's
about one of the few times has ever happened in
California real estate history. And so a lot of people
were saying, well, it's better all that I just rent.
(23:01):
And at that time, yes, that's the case. But now
if you own property, you don't have to worry about
Let's see, say you're locked into a thirty year mortgage.
I know this is turning into a financial show. I
didn't mean for that to happen, but it just happened.
But you know, my mortgage is not going to go
up eight point nine percent every single year. And the
(23:21):
flip side is if you are ready, it makes it
cost prohibitive, if not impossible, to save any money to
get off that hamster wheel, because you know that you
have to almost figure in and bake in an extra
eight point nine percent tax, which is exponential in nature
from year to year.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Preach, this is just basic math.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Now, I got the pullpit right now, You understand the
pullpit talking to the masses.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Because but we're concerned about homelessness. No we're not. No,
we're not.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Because someone is going to have their rent raised eight
point nine percent in LA or Orange County, or maybe
up to ten percent or more illegally outside of LA
and Orange County, and they're gonna end up homeless. And
we're gonna be mad because someone is living in there
RV outside our house, or they're living in their car,
or they're just straight living on the street in a
(24:20):
cardboard box. And for some reason we don't see that
all these things are connected. I wonder why it's Later
with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty we are live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when we come back,
we have more good news. Just say, let's say you're
you're not homeless. Let's say that you know your rent
only went up seven percent this past year. I'm here
to tell you it could be worse. You could have
(24:43):
contracted measles. Well you might still. You know it's not
too late.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What disease?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Is there a song about?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Come on, come on boom boom?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Know what about the measles song? The measles song?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Right?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
What kind of measles song?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's called it?
Speaker 5 (25:06):
It's called the German measles song, the German measo song.
You're the German measos song.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I've heard of the German measles. But you heard of
a German meso song?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You heard of the German measles?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Maybe there isn't one.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's Later with mo Kelly. We'relive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
A person with measles traveled on Norse Atlantic Airways flight
Z zero seven to one one to the Tom Bradley
International Terminal at lax at about two fifteen pm on
July twenty six, then traveled to Orange County. It's not
(25:53):
clear from this whether that means they got in an uber,
did they take like the people move or some sh
shuttle or they got a taxi or a friend picked
them up and just says travel to Orange County. This
is according to the LA Department of Public Health. But
Department of Public Health is saying if you were in
(26:13):
the Tom Bradley International Terminal or Terminal B between two
thirty and four pm that day, which could mean thousands
and thousands of people, if you're one of those thousands
or thousands, you are at risk of developing measles. And
it also says if you believe you are exposed, wait
(26:36):
for it, check your measles vaccination status. Now why would
they say that, because, oh, yeah, there is a vaccine
out there, Because measles was pretty much eradicated until COVID
and then people stopped immunizing and inoculating their kids, and
(26:56):
now we're dealing with measles and pertussis whooping cough none.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
That that's actually before they were already anti vaccine, long
before COVID.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
COVID just brought it all out. That's when all of
the anti vaxxers went nuts. But I remember there was
a big fight and we discussed on The mo' kelly
show when I got lott Lots when it came back
like they actually accused you of pushing vaccines.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Like I was getting paid or something.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, yeah, you look, far be it from me to
apologize for wanting people to be safe and healthy. You know,
that's not something I'm going to apologize for. But all
these things are connected. If you look at the fact
that polio is made a comeback, measles has made a comeback,
name of a disease that wasn't around, with exception of smallpox.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I think smallpox is waiting. Maybe that's next year.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
But just about all these old diseases have come back,
and it's directly connected to a refusal to vaccinate children
and then they turn into adults and and then these
diseases wreak havoc among us. And you know, there are
incidents where schools have been shut down, amusement parks have
been shut down. I don't know what they're gonna do
with lax but you know, there's there's a reason that
(28:19):
we're it's frustrating, it's really really frustrating.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Didn't bubonic plague?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, but but we don't.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Have a vaccine for that here in the United States?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, Okay, damn it, mon, next you're going to be
telling me not to drink raw milk. You and your
liberal pro science agenda.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
What's wrong with you this? Okay? Stephan wouldn't remember this,
and Mark, you weren't living in la But there.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Was an exercise duo we talked about it in general
called the body Buddies and the body Buddies what are
their main sponsors? Was something something I don't remember the
name of the brand, but it was raw milk, And
I remember growing up it's like, what the hell is
raw milk? In my mind, not understanding what pasturized was
(29:11):
back then, I thought all milk was raw, as in
like uncooked.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, you just get it straight out of the utter, right, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
So, and it was one of those things which was
really being pushed, especially in the late nineteen seventies, as
the alternative to pasteurize milk. And then you get a
little older, for at least for me and my generation,
you realize, oh, pasturizing is to keep us from getting
sick and dying from it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Got it? Got it because you're not going to drink
it the same day it comes from from the cow.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
So you know, you know, you see we're talking about
Reddit earlier, and you see all sorts of all sorts
of wisdom from these geniuses. Somebody was talking about how
raw milk really isn't that dangerous as long as you
boil itities Yeah, some fancy thinking there, sir, Yeah, right, Yeah,
(30:00):
you're gonna get your raw milk and then you're gonna
boil it when you get home so it's safe to consume,
or something like that, or or wait, wait, wait, you know,
give me a minute here.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Or you can just go ahead and buy the pasteurized
milk and take it to the head as soon as
you get home, which.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
Has already been boiled and pasteurized and they got all
the blood.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Don't don't.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Don't talk about the science, the science, big government in
your face stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
How dare you? How dare you? I'm sorry? I believe
the Earth is round? I'm sorry. I believe that we
landed on the moon. Oh pump the brakes. No, no, no,
I know.
