Speaker 1 (00:22):
I am six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly. We
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And at the
beginning of the week, I told you about this music
festival which I thought was right next door to my house.
It was so damn loud. Come to find out, it
(00:42):
wasn't right next door to my house. It was three
four miles away, but it sounded like it was right
next door. Then I started talking to Stephan who lives
in my general neighborhood, and.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He said, I heard it too.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It was really really loud, and people from five six,
seven different cities, no exaggeration. We're calling the police. We're
complaining about how loud it was. Note I said how loud.
It was not the base frequencies, Mo, what are you
talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, earlier today.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It was announced that the City of Inglewood, per Mayor
James Buttz, Inglewood, has banned all concerts at Sofi Plaza
following the hard Summer music festival debacle. And this is
in response to all of the complaints mine included. I
(01:38):
didn't actually call anyone, I just talked about it on
the radio. But it was Saturday and Sunday, which was
odd to me. It's like you didn't figure it out
after Saturday. It was two damn loud, not base frequencies,
two damn loud.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
In a statement today, Inglewood Mayor James Butz said the
elevated state in the plaza was determined to be a
major contributor to the issue. Consequently, no stages will be
permitted in this area for future events. But it went
on and it was really really perplexing the excuses that
(02:15):
were given. But said City officials worked with festival organizers
between Saturday and Sunday to find ways of alleviating the problem,
which primarily focused on certain base frequencies. In other words,
if they turned down the base or they just eqte
it a little bit differently, that would have solved the problem.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, it was a volume issue.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Not only could I hear and feel the base, I
could hear the melody, I could hear the mid range.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was just too damn loud. It wasn't about it
being too much base.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Of course, that was a part of it, but that
would not have rectified the problem.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm glad that you, unlike Metro.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I'm glad that you got to the correct solution and
just said no more. I'm disappointed that you didn't get
to the correct solution after Saturday. You didn't need to
have a meeting of the minds to figure out what
was wrong and why people were complaining. They weren't complaining
about base frequencies. They were complaining about the noise. It
(03:18):
was too damn loud.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
These frequencies, as in base frequencies, can be affected by
stage position, reflection off of buildings, and atmospheric conditions, including wind.
City authorities engaged the event promoter and the venue and
implemented several critical adjustments to each stage and established enhanced
monitoring plans for overall sound and base levels.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Didn't help, ah, did not help at all.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
After all that, and the calls and the complaints were
still coming fast and furiously. No one just thought, Hey,
why don't we just turn it down. Why don't we
just turn down the volume. We tried equuing the bass,
the frequencies. It's not working, it's not bringing about the
(04:05):
desired result. Why don't you just take that one knob,
that one level, that one fader and turn it down,
move it down, decrease it. Look I am kind of
a sound engineer, I kind of know how audio works.
I have worked in it in any number of positions for.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The better part of thirty years.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I have done live concerts a bunch to Waller Sharp
is done a bunch of live concerts.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It ain't base EQ.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's not base frequencies when I can hear it four
miles away, because honestly, you know those booming bassed systems
and trucks and everything. You could be like maybe down
the street you can't hear the music, you can feel it. Oh,
here's a boo. I don't know what the music. I
was singing along to the songs. It wasn't the bass,
(05:05):
Megan Trainer. It was not all about the bass. It
was about the volume because the music was identifiable. It
wasn't this dull, throbbing sensation of beats booming.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was too damn loud, but it went on.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
City authorities engaged the event promoter and the venue and
implemented several critical adjustments to each stage and established enhanced
monitoring plans for overall sound and bas levels. Additional sound
engineers were strategically positioned in areas of concern from Saturday
afternoon through Sunday and were promptly dispatched to make necessary
adjustments in real time. Close quote, they did not. Why
(05:48):
did you need more sound engineers to realize that people
were calling in from Manhattan Beach, from El Segundo, from
various parts of Inglewood, from West Athens, from Redondo Beach, Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Why did you need extra sound engineers.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
To realize they think it's too damn loud. No, one
of the the you know, the sound engineers that you
called in, said hey, why don't we try the volume button?
Why don't we try that or take out all the
bass together? You know, we all used an eq I
would think, right, right, And if you use an equalizer
(06:25):
and you put it in that V formation, you have
high highs and low lows level it out. So it's
all just a you know, horizontal line.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
One or the other. If you thought it was a.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Bass, take out the base and if that didn't work,
because clearly it didn't work. After you brought in the
nine new engineers, turn the ish down. The hard Summer
Festival featured four outdoor music stages position outside Sofi Stadium,
located mainly in the parking lots and again to recap
Englewood has banned concerts at Sofi Plaza following the Hard
(06:58):
Summer Music Festival. It's kind of draft, it's kind of drastic.
I'm not saying I disagree with it. I'm not saying I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Mad at it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm just saying it could have been alleviated on Saturday
if you just took the volume from ten and turned
it down to seven or six, Because if I can
hear it four miles away, and I could, it's probably
too damn loud. Probably it's later with Mo Kelly k
If I am six forty were Life Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh oh, oh oh oh.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Remember how I was talking about how the rent was
too damn high and I said California previously had not one,
but two opportunities to do something about rent control and
you just said, ef, we just are going to pay
higher rents.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, it's coming back around again. Rent control is back
on the ballot twice. You will have another opportunity to
put your money where your mouth is. And if you
don't want to pay higher rents and you don't want
to continue to complain about the escalating popular of homeless
(08:00):
people and go to the ballot box and do the
simple thing.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Forty some shows that go all the shows run together.
But I remember, relatively recently, I was talking about how
here in California, specifically Los Angeles County and Orange County,
landlords were legally allowed to raise the rent eight to
nine percent every single year with you still living there,
(08:31):
with you having no say. And I use that as
a part of a larger conversation that it doesn't have
anything to do with who is in the White House,
It doesn't have anything to do with who's in the
governor's mansion. This has to do with our Voteam, because
we've allowed it or not precluded it. We in twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty rejected ballot measures which would have
(08:55):
prevented that. And just in case you don't know the math,
there are more renters then.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
There are landlords. Hear me.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
There are more renters than our landlords. There are more
renters who are voters than there are landlords. And if you,
as a renter, most likely do not want to take
your own future into your own hands, if you don't
want to have a say in whether your rent can
be raised eight to nine percent every single year, without
(09:26):
your knowledge, without your blessing. Then you have to pay
attention to this right here, right here. Nearly thirty percent
of tenants in California spend more than half their income
on rent.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Half their income.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, imagine the exponential aspect of your rent going up
eight to nine percent every single year, as is legal
within the parameters of the law. If you're spending more
than half of your income on rent, put another eight
percent on that, and put another eight percent on that
new number. I used the figure of twenty five hundred,
and if it went up eight percent, it would go
(10:01):
up to like twenty seven hundred and twenty two dollars.
And then you pay eight percent on that twenty seven
hundred and twenty two dollars. And they told two friends,
and they told two friends, and so on and so on.
Nearly thirty percent of tenants spend more than half their
income on rent. The median rent here in California is
twenty eight fifty a month. That's California. It's probably higher
(10:24):
here in southern California. No, it definitely is, And that's
thirty three percent higher than the national average. But here
is something that you can do There are going to
be two propositions, not one, but two propositions on the
upcoming November fifth Ballad which specifically addressed this issue. The
(10:47):
first is Proposition thirty three, and that would give local
governments more control over rent caps. You voted it down before,
but here you have a second chance, actually a third chance. Currently,
cities cannot limit rents on single family homes, apartments built
after nineteen ninety five, and new tenants.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't think you caught that cities.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Cannot limit rents on single family homes or apartments built
after nineteen ninety five and new tenants, meaning if you're
a new tenant, there's no limit as to what they
can charge you when you move in, and then you
can put on top of that that eight and nine
percent each year. There's no limit on what can be
(11:32):
charged for rent for a single family home or an
apartment built after nineteen ninety five, because we all know
no one wants to live in a building which is
older than forty years old, right, right, Okay, this is
up to you. Proposition thirty three would change that, essentially
ending the state's limit on limit. Tenant advocates say that
(11:54):
if the prop thirty three is passed, it would keep
more people housed.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, mow Kelly says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Why because if you're limiting how much rent can be
raised or charged in a given year, yes, you are
more likely keeping more people housed. Don't you know that
the rent being too damn high is leading to people
becoming homeless?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
If you can raise someone's rent eight to nine percent.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Every year at the minimum, don't you know that this
is going to lead to more people on the street.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And we all know how important it is to deal
with the homelessness issue here in southern California.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all care so much about eradicating homelessness, but do
we care half as much about some of the root
causes of homelessness. But that's the first thing that's Prop
thirty three, okay, And there is another portion to the
ballot measure which will also say stricter rent control, will
(12:51):
allow stricter rent control for other.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Housing units and developments.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So they're going to be two different propositions in which
you will have a say about having a modicum, just
a little bit of rent control, and then we would
be less likely to end well, we probably would complain anyway,
but we would be less impacted by just the rent
quotent We would have more people housed, we would have
(13:21):
fewer people homeless, and in the cost of living overall
in California, we all complain about it, we call it,
We talk about, Oh, it's so expensive to live here.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I have to move to Texas because I.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Can't afford rent anywhere in California and not even southern California. Well,
why don't you do something about that? Wha wait, wait,
this is that's socialism. You can't limit the ability of
someone to make money. Well, you're gonna have to make
a decision either going to allow unfettered capitalism and rent
to exponentially increase every single year because the landlords need
(13:55):
to make more money than you need to be able
to keep, or you can vote for or some degree
of rent control. Because you didn't do it in twenty eighteen,
look where I got you.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You didn't do it in twenty twenty. Look where that
got you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now you have a chance in twenty twenty four, you
have another chance. You have three chances in six years.
Will you make the same dumb ass decision you did
the first two times? You probably will, but I'm just
calling it out.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
In advance. It's right there in front of you. It's
gonna be on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You have a chance to not only impact the cost
of living here in California, you can impact the number
of people who are gonna end up homeless.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Because you hate homeless people, right, you just hate them.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You hate them, You hate them, you hate looking at them,
you hate smelling them, you hate dealing with them.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, do something about it or not.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I can do this rant again next year after
the election, after you decide to do nothing about rent
control and then by extension homelessness. It's up to you.
It's Later with mo Kelly. Care if I aim six
to forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Oh my goodness, guess what's in the next segment. Governor
Gavin Newsom starts clearing homeless encampments here in LA and
(15:05):
vows to withhold funds from California cities that don't follow suit.
See how all this is connected. It is all connected.
The hip bone is connected to the leg bone, and
the lake bones connected to the knee bone.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Never mind, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Six forty Some time ago, I told you about Governor
Gavin Newsom and his edict that he's passed down, that
he was going to get tough on homelessness, that he
was going to make sure that cam encampments were cleared
when it comes to homelessness. But oh, by the way,
(15:44):
it was limiting in respect that it could only be
done on state property.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I thought it was toothless.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I thought it was misleading because you think, when I
should say a reasonable assumption is when the governor passes
something like an executive action, you think that it's statewide.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well it is, and it isn't. It's state wide but
doesn't apply to all of the state.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And there is a significant difference state wide, but doesn't
apply to all the state. And that's why the governor
had to encourage different cities and counties to follow suit
and clear these encampments.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now the governor's taken two steps further.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
The first step you might have seen yesterday afternoon, the
governor was helping out clearing an encampment under the five
Freeway in Mission Hills.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He was working right alongside calch Trance. That was very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Again, it was a great photo op. I'm quite sure
he got a lot of mileage out of that. Yes,
I'm a cynic. There's really no point to having the
governor out on the freeway cleaning up trash like he's,
you know, on trying to do some parole or community service.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
There's no point to that other than a photo whap.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But before he took the next step and wagged his
finger at various cities and communities, he could say, hey,
I've gotten my hands dirty.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I've done the work.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I have stood side by side with Caltrans helping clear
out these horrendous homeless people. The executive order signed on
July twenty fifth, just to Review followed a recent Supreme
Court decision giving local governments the authority to remove encampments
(17:37):
and ticket people for camping in public. They're not exactly camping,
they're living on the street, but they call it camping
in public. And the order that Newsome sent down urged
officials to quote address unsanitary and dangerous encampments within their
communities and provide people experiencing homelessness in the encampments the
(18:00):
care and support of services they need.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
This conversation requires nuance. It's never had nuance, but it
requires nuance.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The governor is not wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We should be tougher in the sense of handling encampments,
But being tougher on the encampments doesn't address the homelessness issue.
You can clear out every single encampment today from the
top of the state down to the southern border, and
(18:38):
it in no way prevents, precludes, or even inhibits those
same encampments coming back in some various form the next night,
the same night, the next day, or the next week.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It's almost like cleaning your house.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Just because you clean your house today, it doesn't mean
that it's actually clean. It just means that the house
is clean today. And guess what you have houseworkd tomorrow
that you have to do. You're gonna have to dust
next week. My point is you're not getting to the heart.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Of the issue.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Just cleaning out the encampments of homeless people doesn't actually
get to the cause or the actual homeless people who
still don't have a place to live.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And just because you.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Tore down their encampment, it doesn't make them less homeless.
It doesn't make them less likely to actually set up
shops somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And let's say you do ticket.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Them for quote unquote public camping like they're at Joshua Tree.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Let's say you ticket them. What is that gonna mean?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What You're gonna have the fine, You're gonna have some
sort of penalty on top of if they don't pay
the fine on time, you're gonna give them a court
date where you're gonna send the summons to. They don't
have an address. You're just playing around here. You're insulting
people's intelligence, or at least you're insulting mind. I happen
to think that it's kind of easy to see just
(20:02):
moving out the encampment is not actually going to help
end or decrease homelessness.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
But the governor is trying to lean into this.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And he's saying he's gonna withhold state funding if cities
and counties do not follow suit. California has an estimate
one hundred and eighty thousand unhoused people, most of whom
are not living on state property. So yes, it was
nice air quotes to see the governor helping out. He
(20:36):
had his little orange vest on. It was so cute,
so cute news.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Right next to Caltratz. He was in this let's move
out this homeless encampment. Let's clean up California.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And by the way, Inglewood, La Redondo Beach, Elsa Gundo Crito,
Cyprus A, Orange County, Newport Beach, Manhattan Beach. Let me
wag my finger at you and you two can do
more to clean out in care ampments.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Or will withhold state money. So what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The governor got his photo op, the governor got his
executive action. The governor because honestly, let's be real, this
is still part of a grand plan to eventually run
for president. This is about seeding his record for when
he does eventually run for president. He can say I
did this on homelessness. I did that in the state
(21:29):
of California, and I can show you because what I
have a photo op of me getting my hands dirty
working next to Caltrans. That's how much I care about
the issue. No, it's more than just about right now.
It's about four years from now. Don't lose sight of that.
And don't be fool because a photo op and a
(21:52):
I would say, a well intentioned idea like let me.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Say it again, He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yes, we need to clear the encampments, but that is
an oversimplified response to a super complex issue. You're like
putting new windshield wipers on a car which doesn't run.
If you think that just clearing out the encampments actually rectifies, addresses,
(22:21):
or solves the homelessness problem, then, as I've said before,
you just don't want to see homelessness.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You just don't want to see the encampments.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You don't actually want to eradicate homelessness, which put by
extension eradicate the encampments.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You know how that works.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
If you don't have homeless people, then you don't have encampments.
You're going about it the wrong way. You're doing it
ass backwards. You're trying to eradicate the homeless encampments without
actually addressing with the homelessness. Just taking away the tents
are going to do what? Taking away the cardboard boxes
are going to do what Giving tickets to the people
(23:01):
who are living in the tents and cardboard boxes with
the blankets strewn atop them are going to do what.
If it makes you feel better that you can say
you're getting tough on homelessness, well shoot, you'll have a
great weekend. Because Governor Gavin Newsom has gotten tough on homelessness.
He has this photo op and he's told the cities
(23:21):
you need to fall in line. Everybody should feel good
about themselves. We're getting tough on homelessness. I got news
for you. You can clean out every single and homeless
encampment today today and you.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Not have one less homeless person.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And when I could catch the Olympics, I did watch
for an extended amount of time. I do appreciate the
fact that we live in a time where there's enough.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Real estate, if you will, to show the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
If you didn't catch it on NBC the sports they
had there, they had something on the USA network, they
had something on Bravo, they had something on Peacock, they
had CNBC. They had every NBC affiliated network showing these games.
And if you didn't see it live, they would show
it to you in the evening. Because of the time difference,
(24:22):
you had more than one opportunity to see these Olympic Games,
which made it well. If you're not old enough to
have a comparison point nineteen eighty four, it was like
one network that was it, and it was different if
you lived in the United States at least would fall
within a window where you could see most of the stuff,
(24:42):
but there was not enough real estate to show everything
forty years ago. Now you can see everything, the good,
the bad, and the ugly. Something else you can see.
You get a better sense of how well a city
is handling the games. You got to see a lot
of Paris, and this Sunday you will have the Olympic
(25:06):
closing ceremonies and the official handoff to the next city
for the summer Games, of course, Los Angeles, twenty twenty eight.
And from what I've seen and from the people I
talk to, I have a cousin who is there, who's
managing some of the members of the Olympic Track and
Field team, and he's telling me that the city has
(25:30):
been just about flawless as far as how they've handled
the Games, getting people to and from the different events.
And then we both had to remember Paris is only
about forty square miles. Yes, some of the events and
venues are outside of Paris, but generally all of the
Olympics are within a relatively short distance from each other.
(25:55):
You're not going as far as you will in Los Angeles,
which is five hundred square miles and we know that
a lot of these events are not going to be
on the same side of the city. They're going to
be different concerns as far as traffic, transportation, not only
for athletes, but observers, fans, what have you. You know,
(26:19):
criminals need to find a ride as well too, so
everyone needs to be accommodated. And the question put to
Mayor Bass La Mayor Karen Bass, who was in Paris
for the closing ceremonies, she was as specifically whether she
was concerned or whether there was any pressure put on
(26:39):
her and Los Angeles to do as well as Paris, because,
as I was saying, just about everyone has said that Paris,
the city has handled the Olympics very well. We may
not have liked everything about it, but it was handled well.
And Mayor Bass said, as far as whether she feels
any pressure, quote, you better believe it's not just pressure
(27:02):
because of twenty twenty four as in Paris, but also
because of nineteen eighty four as in La. Well, I
don't know about that, because the city of La is
so very different now. We have different venues, we have
different modes of communication transportation, we have more participants, we
(27:22):
have more it's the city's much more populated. Yeah, this
could be pressure, but it's pressure because it's not really
comparable to nineteen eighty four. I don't think you really
can compare Olympic Games in any city forty years apart.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You know, just the.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Media coverage, how you're going to broadcast the games, all
of that. But it's going to be far more difficult.
And here's the real point. It's going to be far
more difficult for Los Angeles than it's been for Paris,
just because of logistics. Then if you want to talk
about traffic, then if you want to talk about crime, yeah,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
As they say, Hella different.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's gonna be much more different because we have obviously
some problems that Paris does not and did not.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Will we get the crime under control? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
If you live long enough, you know that certain things
are cyclical, and crime ebbs and flows from year to year,
decade to decade.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It might be better, but it's gonna have to get
a whole lot better before the world is looking at
us directly.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I think the real trial run will be the
World Cup in twenty twenty six and if we can't
handle that, we definitely won't be able to handle the Olympics.
And also I have to remind you tonight is the
last night in which we're giving away two pairs of
tickets to see Australian Pink Floyd at the Orpheum Theater
(28:56):
next week on the fourteenth. Again, tonight is the last
night in which we will be giving away tickets to
Australian Pink Floyd. And you know, if you've been listening
faithfully to Later with Mo Kelly, you know when we're
going to be giving away those tickets tonight. And if
you don't know, that means you're just going to have
to keep on listening. So Australian Pink Floyd tickets coming
(29:18):
up later in the show. It's Later with mo Kelly.
K IF I am six forty live everywhere in the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
There's a lot of misinformation out there, man, none of
it is allowed here.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
KF I'm KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County Live
everywhere on the radio.
I am six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly. We
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And at the
beginning of the week, I told you about this music
festival which I thought was right next door to my house.
It was so damn loud. Come to find out, it
(00:42):
wasn't right next door to my house. It was three
four miles away, but it sounded like it was right
next door. Then I started talking to Stephan who lives
in my general neighborhood, and.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He said, I heard it too.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It was really really loud, and people from five six,
seven different cities, no exaggeration. We're calling the police. We're
complaining about how loud it was. Note I said how loud.
It was not the base frequencies, Mo, what are you
talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Well, earlier today.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It was announced that the City of Inglewood, per Mayor
James Buttz, Inglewood, has banned all concerts at Sofi Plaza
following the hard Summer music festival debacle. And this is
in response to all of the complaints mine included. I
(01:38):
didn't actually call anyone, I just talked about it on
the radio. But it was Saturday and Sunday, which was
odd to me. It's like you didn't figure it out
after Saturday. It was two damn loud, not base frequencies,
two damn loud.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Here's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
In a statement today, Inglewood Mayor James Butz said the
elevated state in the plaza was determined to be a
major contributor to the issue. Consequently, no stages will be
permitted in this area for future events. But it went
on and it was really really perplexing the excuses that
(02:15):
were given. But said City officials worked with festival organizers
between Saturday and Sunday to find ways of alleviating the problem,
which primarily focused on certain base frequencies. In other words,
if they turned down the base or they just eqte
it a little bit differently, that would have solved the problem.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, it was a volume issue.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Not only could I hear and feel the base, I
could hear the melody, I could hear the mid range.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was just too damn loud. It wasn't about it
being too much base.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Of course, that was a part of it, but that
would not have rectified the problem.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm glad that you, unlike Metro.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I'm glad that you got to the correct solution and
just said no more. I'm disappointed that you didn't get
to the correct solution after Saturday. You didn't need to
have a meeting of the minds to figure out what
was wrong and why people were complaining. They weren't complaining
about base frequencies. They were complaining about the noise. It
(03:18):
was too damn loud.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
These frequencies, as in base frequencies, can be affected by
stage position, reflection off of buildings, and atmospheric conditions, including wind.
City authorities engaged the event promoter and the venue and
implemented several critical adjustments to each stage and established enhanced
monitoring plans for overall sound and base levels.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Didn't help, ah, did not help at all.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
After all that, and the calls and the complaints were
still coming fast and furiously. No one just thought, Hey,
why don't we just turn it down. Why don't we
just turn down the volume. We tried equuing the bass,
the frequencies. It's not working, it's not bringing about the
(04:05):
desired result. Why don't you just take that one knob,
that one level, that one fader and turn it down,
move it down, decrease it. Look I am kind of
a sound engineer, I kind of know how audio works.
I have worked in it in any number of positions for.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The better part of thirty years.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I have done live concerts a bunch to Waller Sharp
is done a bunch of live concerts.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It ain't base EQ.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's not base frequencies when I can hear it four
miles away, because honestly, you know those booming bassed systems
and trucks and everything. You could be like maybe down
the street you can't hear the music, you can feel it. Oh,
here's a boo. I don't know what the music. I
was singing along to the songs. It wasn't the bass,
(05:05):
Megan Trainer. It was not all about the bass. It
was about the volume because the music was identifiable. It
wasn't this dull, throbbing sensation of beats booming.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was too damn loud, but it went on.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
City authorities engaged the event promoter and the venue and
implemented several critical adjustments to each stage and established enhanced
monitoring plans for overall sound and bas levels. Additional sound
engineers were strategically positioned in areas of concern from Saturday
afternoon through Sunday and were promptly dispatched to make necessary
adjustments in real time. Close quote, they did not. Why
(05:48):
did you need more sound engineers to realize that people
were calling in from Manhattan Beach, from El Segundo, from
various parts of Inglewood, from West Athens, from Redondo Beach, Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Why did you need extra sound engineers.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
To realize they think it's too damn loud. No, one
of the the you know, the sound engineers that you
called in, said hey, why don't we try the volume button?
Why don't we try that or take out all the
bass together? You know, we all used an eq I
would think, right, right, And if you use an equalizer
(06:25):
and you put it in that V formation, you have
high highs and low lows level it out. So it's
all just a you know, horizontal line.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
One or the other. If you thought it was a.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Bass, take out the base and if that didn't work,
because clearly it didn't work. After you brought in the
nine new engineers, turn the ish down. The hard Summer
Festival featured four outdoor music stages position outside Sofi Stadium,
located mainly in the parking lots and again to recap
Englewood has banned concerts at Sofi Plaza following the Hard
(06:58):
Summer Music Festival. It's kind of draft, it's kind of drastic.
I'm not saying I disagree with it. I'm not saying I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Mad at it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm just saying it could have been alleviated on Saturday
if you just took the volume from ten and turned
it down to seven or six, Because if I can
hear it four miles away, and I could, it's probably
too damn loud. Probably it's later with Mo Kelly k
If I am six forty were Life Everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh oh, oh oh oh.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Remember how I was talking about how the rent was
too damn high and I said California previously had not one,
but two opportunities to do something about rent control and
you just said, ef, we just are going to pay
higher rents.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Well, it's coming back around again. Rent control is back
on the ballot twice. You will have another opportunity to
put your money where your mouth is. And if you
don't want to pay higher rents and you don't want
to continue to complain about the escalating popular of homeless
(08:00):
people and go to the ballot box and do the
simple thing.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Forty some shows that go all the shows run together.
But I remember, relatively recently, I was talking about how
here in California, specifically Los Angeles County and Orange County,
landlords were legally allowed to raise the rent eight to
nine percent every single year with you still living there,
(08:31):
with you having no say. And I use that as
a part of a larger conversation that it doesn't have
anything to do with who is in the White House,
It doesn't have anything to do with who's in the
governor's mansion. This has to do with our Voteam, because
we've allowed it or not precluded it. We in twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty rejected ballot measures which would have
(08:55):
prevented that. And just in case you don't know the math,
there are more renters then.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
There are landlords. Hear me.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
There are more renters than our landlords. There are more
renters who are voters than there are landlords. And if you,
as a renter, most likely do not want to take
your own future into your own hands, if you don't
want to have a say in whether your rent can
be raised eight to nine percent every single year, without
(09:26):
your knowledge, without your blessing. Then you have to pay
attention to this right here, right here. Nearly thirty percent
of tenants in California spend more than half their income
on rent.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Half their income.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, imagine the exponential aspect of your rent going up
eight to nine percent every single year, as is legal
within the parameters of the law. If you're spending more
than half of your income on rent, put another eight
percent on that, and put another eight percent on that
new number. I used the figure of twenty five hundred,
and if it went up eight percent, it would go
(10:01):
up to like twenty seven hundred and twenty two dollars.
And then you pay eight percent on that twenty seven
hundred and twenty two dollars. And they told two friends,
and they told two friends, and so on and so on.
Nearly thirty percent of tenants spend more than half their
income on rent. The median rent here in California is
twenty eight fifty a month. That's California. It's probably higher
(10:24):
here in southern California. No, it definitely is, And that's
thirty three percent higher than the national average. But here
is something that you can do There are going to
be two propositions, not one, but two propositions on the
upcoming November fifth Ballad which specifically addressed this issue. The
(10:47):
first is Proposition thirty three, and that would give local
governments more control over rent caps. You voted it down before,
but here you have a second chance, actually a third chance. Currently,
cities cannot limit rents on single family homes, apartments built
after nineteen ninety five, and new tenants.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't think you caught that cities.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Cannot limit rents on single family homes or apartments built
after nineteen ninety five and new tenants, meaning if you're
a new tenant, there's no limit as to what they
can charge you when you move in, and then you
can put on top of that that eight and nine
percent each year. There's no limit on what can be
(11:32):
charged for rent for a single family home or an
apartment built after nineteen ninety five, because we all know
no one wants to live in a building which is
older than forty years old, right, right, Okay, this is
up to you. Proposition thirty three would change that, essentially
ending the state's limit on limit. Tenant advocates say that
(11:54):
if the prop thirty three is passed, it would keep
more people housed.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, mow Kelly says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Why because if you're limiting how much rent can be
raised or charged in a given year, yes, you are
more likely keeping more people housed. Don't you know that
the rent being too damn high is leading to people
becoming homeless?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
If you can raise someone's rent eight to nine percent.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Every year at the minimum, don't you know that this
is going to lead to more people on the street.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And we all know how important it is to deal
with the homelessness issue here in southern California.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all care so much about eradicating homelessness, but do
we care half as much about some of the root
causes of homelessness. But that's the first thing that's Prop
thirty three, okay, And there is another portion to the
ballot measure which will also say stricter rent control, will
(12:51):
allow stricter rent control for other.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Housing units and developments.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So they're going to be two different propositions in which
you will have a say about having a modicum, just
a little bit of rent control, and then we would
be less likely to end well, we probably would complain anyway,
but we would be less impacted by just the rent
quotent We would have more people housed, we would have
(13:21):
fewer people homeless, and in the cost of living overall
in California, we all complain about it, we call it,
We talk about, Oh, it's so expensive to live here.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I have to move to Texas because I.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Can't afford rent anywhere in California and not even southern California. Well,
why don't you do something about that? Wha wait, wait,
this is that's socialism. You can't limit the ability of
someone to make money. Well, you're gonna have to make
a decision either going to allow unfettered capitalism and rent
to exponentially increase every single year because the landlords need
(13:55):
to make more money than you need to be able
to keep, or you can vote for or some degree
of rent control. Because you didn't do it in twenty eighteen,
look where I got you.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You didn't do it in twenty twenty. Look where that
got you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now you have a chance in twenty twenty four, you
have another chance. You have three chances in six years.
Will you make the same dumb ass decision you did
the first two times? You probably will, but I'm just
calling it out.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
In advance. It's right there in front of you. It's
gonna be on the ballot.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You have a chance to not only impact the cost
of living here in California, you can impact the number
of people who are gonna end up homeless.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Because you hate homeless people, right, you just hate them.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You hate them, You hate them, you hate looking at them,
you hate smelling them, you hate dealing with them.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well, do something about it or not.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And I can do this rant again next year after
the election, after you decide to do nothing about rent
control and then by extension homelessness. It's up to you.
It's Later with mo Kelly. Care if I aim six
to forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Oh my goodness, guess what's in the next segment. Governor
Gavin Newsom starts clearing homeless encampments here in LA and
(15:05):
vows to withhold funds from California cities that don't follow suit.
See how all this is connected. It is all connected.
The hip bone is connected to the leg bone, and
the lake bones connected to the knee bone.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Never mind, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Six forty Some time ago, I told you about Governor
Gavin Newsom and his edict that he's passed down, that
he was going to get tough on homelessness, that he
was going to make sure that cam encampments were cleared
when it comes to homelessness. But oh, by the way,
(15:44):
it was limiting in respect that it could only be
done on state property.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I thought it was toothless.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I thought it was misleading because you think, when I
should say a reasonable assumption is when the governor passes
something like an executive action, you think that it's statewide.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well it is, and it isn't. It's state wide but
doesn't apply to all of the state.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And there is a significant difference state wide, but doesn't
apply to all the state. And that's why the governor
had to encourage different cities and counties to follow suit
and clear these encampments.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Now the governor's taken two steps further.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
The first step you might have seen yesterday afternoon, the
governor was helping out clearing an encampment under the five
Freeway in Mission Hills.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
He was working right alongside calch Trance. That was very nice.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Again, it was a great photo op. I'm quite sure
he got a lot of mileage out of that. Yes,
I'm a cynic. There's really no point to having the
governor out on the freeway cleaning up trash like he's,
you know, on trying to do some parole or community service.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
There's no point to that other than a photo whap.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
But before he took the next step and wagged his
finger at various cities and communities, he could say, hey,
I've gotten my hands dirty.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I've done the work.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I have stood side by side with Caltrans helping clear
out these horrendous homeless people. The executive order signed on
July twenty fifth, just to Review followed a recent Supreme
Court decision giving local governments the authority to remove encampments
(17:37):
and ticket people for camping in public. They're not exactly camping,
they're living on the street, but they call it camping
in public. And the order that Newsome sent down urged
officials to quote address unsanitary and dangerous encampments within their
communities and provide people experiencing homelessness in the encampments the
(18:00):
care and support of services they need.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
This conversation requires nuance. It's never had nuance, but it
requires nuance.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
The governor is not wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
We should be tougher in the sense of handling encampments,
But being tougher on the encampments doesn't address the homelessness issue.
You can clear out every single encampment today from the
top of the state down to the southern border, and
(18:38):
it in no way prevents, precludes, or even inhibits those
same encampments coming back in some various form the next night,
the same night, the next day, or the next week.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
It's almost like cleaning your house.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Just because you clean your house today, it doesn't mean
that it's actually clean. It just means that the house
is clean today. And guess what you have houseworkd tomorrow
that you have to do. You're gonna have to dust
next week. My point is you're not getting to the heart.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Of the issue.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Just cleaning out the encampments of homeless people doesn't actually
get to the cause or the actual homeless people who
still don't have a place to live.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And just because you.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Tore down their encampment, it doesn't make them less homeless.
It doesn't make them less likely to actually set up
shops somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And let's say you do ticket.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Them for quote unquote public camping like they're at Joshua Tree.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Let's say you ticket them. What is that gonna mean?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What You're gonna have the fine, You're gonna have some
sort of penalty on top of if they don't pay
the fine on time, you're gonna give them a court
date where you're gonna send the summons to. They don't
have an address. You're just playing around here. You're insulting
people's intelligence, or at least you're insulting mind. I happen
to think that it's kind of easy to see just
(20:02):
moving out the encampment is not actually going to help
end or decrease homelessness.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
But the governor is trying to lean into this.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
And he's saying he's gonna withhold state funding if cities
and counties do not follow suit. California has an estimate
one hundred and eighty thousand unhoused people, most of whom
are not living on state property. So yes, it was
nice air quotes to see the governor helping out. He
(20:36):
had his little orange vest on. It was so cute,
so cute news.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Right next to Caltratz. He was in this let's move
out this homeless encampment. Let's clean up California.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
And by the way, Inglewood, La Redondo Beach, Elsa Gundo Crito,
Cyprus A, Orange County, Newport Beach, Manhattan Beach. Let me
wag my finger at you and you two can do
more to clean out in care ampments.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Or will withhold state money. So what does that mean.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
The governor got his photo op, the governor got his
executive action. The governor because honestly, let's be real, this
is still part of a grand plan to eventually run
for president. This is about seeding his record for when
he does eventually run for president. He can say I
did this on homelessness. I did that in the state
(21:29):
of California, and I can show you because what I
have a photo op of me getting my hands dirty
working next to Caltrans. That's how much I care about
the issue. No, it's more than just about right now.
It's about four years from now. Don't lose sight of that.
And don't be fool because a photo op and a
(21:52):
I would say, a well intentioned idea like let me.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Say it again, He's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yes, we need to clear the encampments, but that is
an oversimplified response to a super complex issue. You're like
putting new windshield wipers on a car which doesn't run.
If you think that just clearing out the encampments actually rectifies, addresses,
(22:21):
or solves the homelessness problem, then, as I've said before,
you just don't want to see homelessness.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You just don't want to see the encampments.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You don't actually want to eradicate homelessness, which put by
extension eradicate the encampments.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
You know how that works.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
If you don't have homeless people, then you don't have encampments.
You're going about it the wrong way. You're doing it
ass backwards. You're trying to eradicate the homeless encampments without
actually addressing with the homelessness. Just taking away the tents
are going to do what? Taking away the cardboard boxes
are going to do what Giving tickets to the people
(23:01):
who are living in the tents and cardboard boxes with
the blankets strewn atop them are going to do what.
If it makes you feel better that you can say
you're getting tough on homelessness, well shoot, you'll have a
great weekend. Because Governor Gavin Newsom has gotten tough on homelessness.
He has this photo op and he's told the cities
(23:21):
you need to fall in line. Everybody should feel good
about themselves. We're getting tough on homelessness. I got news
for you. You can clean out every single and homeless
encampment today today and you.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Not have one less homeless person.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And when I could catch the Olympics, I did watch
for an extended amount of time. I do appreciate the
fact that we live in a time where there's enough.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Real estate, if you will, to show the Olympic Games.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
If you didn't catch it on NBC the sports they
had there, they had something on the USA network, they
had something on Bravo, they had something on Peacock, they
had CNBC. They had every NBC affiliated network showing these games.
And if you didn't see it live, they would show
it to you in the evening. Because of the time difference,
(24:22):
you had more than one opportunity to see these Olympic Games,
which made it well. If you're not old enough to
have a comparison point nineteen eighty four, it was like
one network that was it, and it was different if
you lived in the United States at least would fall
within a window where you could see most of the stuff,
(24:42):
but there was not enough real estate to show everything
forty years ago. Now you can see everything, the good,
the bad, and the ugly. Something else you can see.
You get a better sense of how well a city
is handling the games. You got to see a lot
of Paris, and this Sunday you will have the Olympic
(25:06):
closing ceremonies and the official handoff to the next city
for the summer Games, of course, Los Angeles, twenty twenty eight.
And from what I've seen and from the people I
talk to, I have a cousin who is there, who's
managing some of the members of the Olympic Track and
Field team, and he's telling me that the city has
(25:30):
been just about flawless as far as how they've handled
the Games, getting people to and from the different events.
And then we both had to remember Paris is only
about forty square miles. Yes, some of the events and
venues are outside of Paris, but generally all of the
Olympics are within a relatively short distance from each other.
(25:55):
You're not going as far as you will in Los Angeles,
which is five hundred square miles and we know that
a lot of these events are not going to be
on the same side of the city. They're going to
be different concerns as far as traffic, transportation, not only
for athletes, but observers, fans, what have you. You know,
(26:19):
criminals need to find a ride as well too, so
everyone needs to be accommodated. And the question put to
Mayor Bass La Mayor Karen Bass, who was in Paris
for the closing ceremonies, she was as specifically whether she
was concerned or whether there was any pressure put on
(26:39):
her and Los Angeles to do as well as Paris, because,
as I was saying, just about everyone has said that Paris,
the city has handled the Olympics very well. We may
not have liked everything about it, but it was handled well.
And Mayor Bass said, as far as whether she feels
any pressure, quote, you better believe it's not just pressure
(27:02):
because of twenty twenty four as in Paris, but also
because of nineteen eighty four as in La. Well, I
don't know about that, because the city of La is
so very different now. We have different venues, we have
different modes of communication transportation, we have more participants, we
(27:22):
have more it's the city's much more populated. Yeah, this
could be pressure, but it's pressure because it's not really
comparable to nineteen eighty four. I don't think you really
can compare Olympic Games in any city forty years apart.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You know, just the.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Media coverage, how you're going to broadcast the games, all
of that. But it's going to be far more difficult.
And here's the real point. It's going to be far
more difficult for Los Angeles than it's been for Paris,
just because of logistics. Then if you want to talk
about traffic, then if you want to talk about crime, yeah,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
As they say, Hella different.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's gonna be much more different because we have obviously
some problems that Paris does not and did not.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Will we get the crime under control? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
If you live long enough, you know that certain things
are cyclical, and crime ebbs and flows from year to year,
decade to decade.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It might be better, but it's gonna have to get
a whole lot better before the world is looking at
us directly.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But I think the real trial run will be the
World Cup in twenty twenty six and if we can't
handle that, we definitely won't be able to handle the Olympics.
And also I have to remind you tonight is the
last night in which we're giving away two pairs of
tickets to see Australian Pink Floyd at the Orpheum Theater
(28:56):
next week on the fourteenth. Again, tonight is the last
night in which we will be giving away tickets to
Australian Pink Floyd. And you know, if you've been listening
faithfully to Later with Mo Kelly, you know when we're
going to be giving away those tickets tonight. And if
you don't know, that means you're just going to have
to keep on listening. So Australian Pink Floyd tickets coming
(29:18):
up later in the show. It's Later with mo Kelly.
