As California begins requiring homeowners to take steps to protect their properties from wildfires, a new state bill aims to offer cash for mitigation efforts, including clearing vegetation and installing fire-resistant roofing. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a proposed budget on Monday that would eliminate a nearly $1-billion financial gap by cutting more than 2,700 city positions — about 1,650 of them through layoffs. The Law Makers, Law Breakers and times that there oughta be a law. Despite California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s objections, Democratic state lawmakers on Thursday approved changes to a bill that removed tougher penalties for soliciting 16- or 17-year-olds for sex.

You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Chris Merril KFI on demand anytime, the iHeartRadio app always
a pleasure talking with you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It's it was nice.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I didn't know Mark was in today, so that was
nice when when I pop on and Mark is there,
because you know why, he always says nice things to me.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And I like that.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I think it's very very important to always brown nose
a little bit with the person coming in after you,
and I appreciate that he does that. That is uh,
that is old radio professionalism right there. So always nice
to hear Mark. I love doing that. In the last
segment there with Mark Thompson, you heard him going on
and on and on about Andrew Caravella. And Andrew's moving on,
and Andrew's doing something else. It's it's been like that
(00:42):
all weekend, Chris. It's crap and will while everyone else
is all, Oh Andrew this, and Andrew that.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Andrew. To be honest, you're dead to me, so.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You know, for in all honesty and transparency, I was
trying to keep it as calm and low key. I
know you were as possible because you asked me, like,
you know, we're gonna do it. I'm like, no, you know,
let me just do a public statement on Monday, you know.
And then during the during the Fork Report, Neil just
you know, shares it with the world and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh my gosh, he did.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, so I had to go and put like a
public statement together for socials and I had to put
it out yesterday, so it's it's out there now.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, it pissed me off to start with, and it
still pisses me off. So you're just dead.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well, you know, I I travel a lot, so I'm

be just like work again. Well, hey, you know, hanging
out together.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
If there's somebody that's on TV that's in the room,
I may just like desert you to go get a selfie.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You do too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
In fact, I've shocked that you even made it to
your your your own newscast there because Mark Thompson's in
the studio and he used to be on TV.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well no longer though, so it's not that big of
a heal right now, not as exciting every.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Time and andrew sives somebody that's on TV. Hey can

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Can I get it?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
They're like, Andrew, I've been here like fifty times, you
have fifty selfies usually I know I'm gonna go one
every time different outfits makes a flip book out of
him what he does. So we'll give Andrew Crapp throughout
the rest of the show tonight. Also, if you were
listening on the iHeartRadio app, as always, you can hit
that talkback button and leave us a message talkback question today,
you know, the big internet thing. And this has been
(02:30):
going on for a few weeks now, and and we
didn't ask any Cayla why didn't we do anything on
this before? Because I thought I thought we should have.
Did you nix that idea?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Andrew did? Andrew nixed? Did Yep?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Well, I think and I think I gained a lot
more attraction like this week.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Okay, So it was kind of like light talk.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
One hundred gorillas versus one man. No, that's not it,
one hundred men versus one gorilla.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
There you go, Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
My favorite was the hundred gorillas versus one Chuck Norris
who would win? And of course Chuck Norris won. I
love that we were able to bring back the Chuck
Norris stuff from twenty years ago. That made me very happy.
But the internet was a buzz with could one hundred
men defeat one gorilla? So our twist on this. If
you're on the app, hit the talkback button and send
(03:18):
a message. What is something that one hundred men could
not defeat? It doesn't have to be an animal, it
could be anything. What is something one hundred men could
not defeat?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So I was racking my brain on this, and I
was thinking the Chinese buffet. I've never seen an empty one.
So what is something one hundred men could not defeat?
The Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You just fill up?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You feel so full you couldn't do it, So that's
my guess. Anyway, hit that talk back button. Let us
know what is something one hundred men could not defeat?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
All?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Right, enough of the niceties on we go. Big changes
coming to California include those of you who are if well,
you have to have certain qualifications. If you live in
a fire zone and you ain't got no money, honey,
there could be some help coming your way.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Trimming or removing trees, even fireproofing your roof can of
course be pricey. A new state build up the California
Safe Homes Act could provide grant money to low and
moderate income property owners to make fire safe improvements to
their homes.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No one's going to turn down money. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
I'd be skeptical only because i'm you know, skeptical lover.
You know, whatever government great age or does anything for homeowners.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I love it that this guy's going to get money.
And he's like, yeah, but I'm skeptical. You know, government
whenever they're giving aid.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
For homeowners to qualify for the funds, they need to
live within a high or very high fire risk zone
as determined by cal Fire. The state Insurance Department would
distribute to grants.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
I believe we need a dedicated program to maximize risk
mitigation benefits for Californians by a 'dressing a key barrier
the upfront cost of essential mitigation actions.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I agree with that. It ain't cheap, man, It
ain't cheap. And if you're in a high risk area
and you don't have any money, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
The bill comes at a time when the state is
grappling with how to persuade insurance companies to continue doing
business in California amid increasingly destructive wildfire seasons.
Speaker 10 (05:23):
The insurance industry is really going to start demanding of
its customers that they harden their homes.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, of course, the aret because they don't want to
pay out, right, So the insurance industry is going to say,
if you're in a fire prone area, we don't want
to give you any coverage, but if we have to
give you coverage, we want to make sure we don't
actually have to pay out. So whatever you can do
to make sure it doesn't cost us money, we're willing
to take that risk. You gotta love the insurance companies.
I love that all right, but who's going to pay for? Yeah,
(05:52):
one thing that we still haven't figured out in the state.
Money doesn't grow on trees.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Mark Brown from the Marine Wildfire Prevention Authority is supporting
the bill, which may help expand wildfire mitigation grants they
already offer.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
This is from, by the way, it's from my ABC
Bay area. So that's why you're hearing some stuff from
up north.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
From having an Assembly bill that's going to help residents
either harden their homes, whether through Class A roofs, their siding, vents,
gutter guards.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That sounds great, great zone zero love it.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
That's going to increase the availability of insurance in California.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, cool, sounds like a solution. Who's going to pay
for it?
Speaker 8 (06:23):
State Farm covers me right now? But we'll see what
happens in the air. It might be nice to be
able to say, hey, look I can actually get coverage
from my house.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
It's still unclear where funding, but the Safe Homes Act
would come from.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh there you go. Okay, so we got a plan.
We ain't got no money, honey.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Meantime, California is pushing ahead with its zone zero policy,
expected to take effect next year. Homes in high hazard
areas would be required to clear anything flammable five feet
away from structures. In the North Bay Cornel Bernard, ABC
seven ers, So we.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't have any money, but we have this. We have
a solution, and like most solutions, is gonna cost money.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We don't have money. So what are we gonna do? Ooh?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
What do you suppose there's some sort of fund that
gets set up that gets paid for with.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Other policy owners have a fee? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Or what if we just raise taxes whatever it takes
to make sure that the insurance companies are able to
lower the risk and to make sure that the insurance
companies don't have to pay more.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's exactly how it's gonna work out. But I get.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It because otherwise the insurance companies leave and then we
got nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
One way or another. It's costing us. Just no, it's
gonna cost us.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of costing us, has have you thumbed through the
budgets lately? Budgets are super boring unless you find that
little trinket that makes everything so juicy, or you stage
what they did around city Hall and that is a
dye in.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wait until you hear this how to make budgets not boring?
That's next.

know what is something one hundred men could not defeat.
The internet was a buzz this week with whether or
not one hundred men could take down a gorilla.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Incidentally, I've got my.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Answer to that, which I haven't heard from anybody else,
coming up in the six o'clock hour today. There is
never any money, never any money, Ain't nobody got no
money for nothing but trying to make sure we've got
enough money to keep the libraries open and keep the
schools open. Want to make sure there's enough money so
that people can afford to update their houses, so they'll
(10:27):
have to pay exorbitant home insurance for fires, all kinds
of things.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And yet the.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
City of Los Angeles is short by a billion dollars,
I mean a billion dollars here, billion dollars there.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Pretty soon you're talking about a lot of.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Money, but great news Mayor Bass has got the solution.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
She's got this figured out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
She says she's willing to take a pay cut and
willing to fire sixteen hundred people.
Speaker 12 (10:56):
LA Mayor Karen Bass says she'll take a pay cut
and freeze raises for her off at LA as they
face a nearly one billion dollar budget shortfall. Herspocksherson says
staff will skip raises through June of next year. The
mayor's office did not say how much of a pay
cut Bass would take or when it would go into effect.
Her current salary right now is three hundred and one
(11:18):
thousand dollars a year. The city council will continue these
budget talks on Monday.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh that's nice. So how much is she really willing
to freeze? I was I was reading the article by
Noah Goldberg, who's the staff writer at the La Times,
and he was talking about how she said she's gonna
she's going to make cuts.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
To her own office.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
She says, uh, we've we've got we've got to make
these these broad cuts, cutting her office as well. Here's
what Noah says, when the mayor released her proposed budget,
I turned to the section for her office only to find,
to my confusion, that it had grown ten point one
million in the last fiscal year to ten point seven
(12:03):
million for the next fiscal year. The office was also
spared from having a layoff a single member of the
ninety four person team, even while Bass was proposing one thousand,
six hundred and fifty layoffs elsewhere in city government. So
how did they come up with the notion that she
was reducing her own funding? According to the Deputy Mayor
of Communications, the city administrative officers recalculation of the coming
(12:25):
fiscal year's budget actually showed, uh, oh, we're getting cities planned.
Actually showed a one point two million dollar decrease. How's
that when it is actually up by more than half
a million dollars. Employees in the Mayor's office are not
getting regularly scheduled cost of living races.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The first was to come in June. There would have
been a four percent increase.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Then they were supposed to get another raised in December
that would have been another two percent increase, and then
they were supposed to get another raise next June for
another four percent. Well that's nice, so they said, basically,
by not giving those raises, we save ten percent.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's some city math there. That is some math wooo, and.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We're all supposed to go, oh, look they're making sacrifices,
sure you are. Meanwhile, we're all wondering how much art
Christmas is going to cost, and if my daughter's even
gonna be able to get twenty nine dollars this year,
just back from the thirty dollars she's accustomed to getting. Meanwhile,
some people protesting where those cuts are going to come from,
(13:32):
and they say it's going to cost lives.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They called it a die in on the street in
front of La City Hall.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
There have been more traffic fatalities than homicide.
Speaker 14 (13:41):
This is really, honestly a state of emergency type issue.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
That issue is what he calls doze like cuts to
the city's transportation department and street safety.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Look, if you're a billion dollars over budget, you're going
to have to make doge like cuts. That's going to happen.
Nobody's going to be happy about it. But it does
seem like some people are feeling the pain more than others.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
This is taking a page out of a lawn musk's
playbook on a who's playbook, out of a lawn Musk's
playbook Alan.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think I've ever heard him called Alan. I've
just cotton across the boards.
Speaker 15 (14:16):
This is the most fiscally irresponsible budget that could possibly
be proposed.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh no, not the most irresponsible possible. Don't ever challenge
a politician to be worse.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
The budget for this next year will slash hundreds of
jobs and millions of dollars from street safety things like
street and sidewalk repairs and restriping improvements, to dangerous intersections,
safety cameras, and parking enforcement, which would reduce revenue.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right, well, yeah, we don't want to reduce revenue
by not handing out parking tickets. Yeah, that's the one
thing we're all really worried about. Look, I hate to
say this, but we're kind of at that point where
you got to save a billion and that means that
the yanky sidewalk in front of your place is going
to be janky for another year. I don't like it either,
(15:09):
But I mean, what else do you want to do.
We're not gonna what do you want the mayor to
start laying off people out of her office? But just
so that you can get your wheelchair on the sidewalk,
How dare you, how dare you those people in that office,
they depend on their six figure salaries, how dare you
(15:30):
ask them to make sacrifices?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's sarcasm still to come.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The law makers, the law breakers, the times there ought
to be a law And if you're listening on the app,
the talkback question today, what is something one hundred men
couldn't defeat? All right, looking forward to your responses on that.
You'll hear what the others have to say next. Chris Merril,
can'tf I AM six forty live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thank you, hay nude On Chris Merril, Always pleasure being
with you. The talkback question today is spawned from the Internet.
I don't know what do we call this tayla internet controversy.
I don't know if I want to call it a
controversy internet exercise? Who would win one? And I'm assuming
(16:15):
they mean a silverback gorilla or one hundred men in battle?
I have my answer to that coming up in the
six o'clock hour. What is something one hundred men could
not defeat? If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Click
on that talkback button and let us know what you think.
Speaker 14 (16:29):
What do you think him, mister merril Hi, one hundred
men probably couldn't defeat King Kong.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I suppose it depends on the ape. It also
depends on the man, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
If you had one.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hundred Navy seals against one gorilla, that would be a
lot better than one hundred mees against a gorilla.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Big difference.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Right, What if you had one hundred Bruce Lees against
a gorilla?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I mean it depends. It matters. It matters who's on
your team. Okay, So your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Who? What would it be? Hit that talk back on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
In the meantime, lawmakers, law breakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law. We'll start with the
news that was breaking and broka. I guess yesterday it
was a bad situation with a shooting in Englewood at
(17:28):
Spartan College and they have if you missed it, they
have a guy in custody.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Turns out it was the guy that worked there.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Students and staff at Spartan College ran and hid as
a former security guard at the school returned to campus
and opened fire around three point forty this afternoon. One
of the employees contacted his girlfriend from inside the building and.
Speaker 16 (17:45):
He heard the gunshot. So he is looking for somewhere
to hide, but there's a big glass window.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh my gosh, can you imagine how exposed you feel? Oh? Horrible?
Speaker 16 (17:54):
And so he was just he locked the door and
he it's just trying to hide as best as he cut.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
That shooter, apparently wearing his security uniform, shot to employees
in a reception area. According to Englewood Mayor James Butts,
so the guy.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And this is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Imagine if the shooter looks like the person you're supposed
to be able to trust, that's a bad deal, man.
I mean, that is some die hard level stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Two female Hispanic victims.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
We believe it occurred in an office inside the school.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Cell Phone video taken from a car rental parking lot
across the street from the college shows first responders carrying
one of the injured women away from the building.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Countless officers rushed to the school on Aviation Boulevard, just
south of Manchester, searching the campus in nearby buildings, but
quickly realized the suspect was long gone.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Turns out he didn't get that far. Since he was
a former employee.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Authorities knew his name and the car he was in,
and that vehicle was spotted in Koreatown A few hours
after the shooting. A man matching in the description of
the shooter was hand cuffed and detained, but police won't
confirm his identity. They did say though the shooter is
in custody. The dozens of students and staff at the
aviation school Friday afternoon, we're all interviewed by investigators as
(19:11):
police try to understand what led up to the shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
That employee you.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Hid told his girlfriend there was no tension today. In fact,
spirits were high.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Wow, all right, I love the resiliency.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I think everybody was happy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It was Friday.
Speaker 16 (19:22):
They have the weekends off.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He said.
Speaker 16 (19:24):
We were all having you know, just we were having
a good time, like you know, everybody was working.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
The president of Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology said
they prepare for almost every kind of emergency, but this
still caught everyone off guard.
Speaker 17 (19:35):
Yeah, but we go through safety drills, fire drills, earthquake
drills were aviation schools, So safety is one of the
things that we focus on the most. We all get
along really well, care about one another deeply, and that
this is, uh, this is hard on.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
All of us. I don't know about you, but every
time I see that, oh, there was a shooting, my
heart just sinks.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I just I want to. I want to be able
to ignore it. I can't, obviously, but I want. I
want to. I want to be able to just ignore
the whole thing and just pretend it's not there. But
unfortunately there is no There is no ignoring that, which
is probably just as well. Right, Okay, what's going on
with the squatters. Squatters are a real pain of butt.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
The house fire on Wilton Place in Hollywood happened in
the dark of night, but neighbors had long seen it coming.
They say this is hardly the first fire on this block,
or even on that property.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Every other week.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty concerning.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
The space is supposed to be abandoned, but neighbors say
it was anything but.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
Previously it was the encampments. Those have all burned, and
when those fires happened, a lot of those people we believe,
ended up in these buildings on Wilton.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
They always cut what am I missing? How come there's
always fires around homeless people? Do we know?
Speaker 14 (20:54):
Well, lately it's been cold, so I can assume that
maybe just to keep warmer, or.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I think so I was kind, maybe maybe to cook,
you know, yeah, I'm just maybe to be destructive.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Oh you think it's arsenal, like intentional arson. I mean,
I don't set something on fire.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's just an option, for sure.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
I'm sure not every fire is destruction, but I'm sure
some of them are.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, anytime there's a fire in a populated area, I
feel like like nine times out of ten, and I
know my stats are probably not right, but it feels
like nine times out of ten it's started by somebody
that's homeless. And I'm just wondering, is this is this
somebody you just have to do with drug use or
I don't know. Maybe maybe Roul's right, Maybe it has
(21:37):
to do with trying to stay warm and just lighting
little fires and then I don't know, ignoring them or
something I don't know.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
Come pushed them out, put a new fans and then
they come back the night. The same night, the homeless
people would come back the same night, and then they
would like cut into fans.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Okay, so they're putting up a fance to keep people out,
and as soon as they leave, as soon as authorities leave,
or fence company leaves, or whomever, then they come right
back by, cut the fence and go right back in.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Today's fire was so bad. After putting it out, firefighters
had to demolish the building because of the risk of collapse.
An official cause of fire has not yet been determined,
but neighbors feel pretty strongly they know what's to blame.
Speaker 15 (22:14):
We need to go in and get the people as
soon as they break in, arrest them and put them
in jail. I don't care. I don't have any compassion
or empathy left in my soul about this because I
feel this terrified.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's too bad.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
The house has gone now, but neighbors say they won't
sleep any easier.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh, it's not going to quiet down.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's been like that for weeks.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
And this is just one of four houses that is troublesome.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Well, why don't they just what's the problem. Can't they
condemn the other houses, just tear them down before they burn.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
So we're in Council District thirteen, and a spokesperson from
that office and as a statement about this matter, saying, currently,
until a property is formally declared as a public nuisance,
the city is only allowed to access private property during
an immediate public safety emergency like an actively burning fire.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh so they can't do anything, all right?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, I guess the flip side of that is that
means that people can't come charging into our houses.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
As a city, we need to fix this broken system
and speed up the process to declare dangerous properties of
public nuisance so we can act faster and keep our
community safe.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
All right, Yeah, you gotta do something about it. Man,
that's frustrating. Is all get out?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Final story.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Actually, I'll extend it a little bit because I have
a legislative story I want to cover in the next segment.
But final story from the law breakers anyway, Sam Bernardino County.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I thought this was interesting. The Sheriff's department arrested three
of seven.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Suspects who stormed a sunglasses Hut location and took off
with eleven pairs of glasses worth thirty thousand dollars. Okay,
first first observation is, oh, my goodness, we're still doing
the smashing grab nonsense.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I thought that was so twenty twenty three. But I
guess we're doing smash and.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Grab stillcond thing I'm doing the math on this. Eleven
pairs of sunglasses means that the sunglasses from Sunglasses Hot
are what twenty eight hundred bucks apiece? That twenty hot? Okay, yeah,
that feels a little pricey to me. Uh and I look,
(24:19):
I've been to sunglasses that. I know you tend to
pay a little more at sunglasses. Hut, I get that,
But are they selling twenty nine hundred dollars pairs of sunglasses?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Am I wrong? I haven't been there in a while.
I don't know about that much. But they're pretty expensive,
I know they are.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You going there, you get ray Bans or something and
you get to oak Ley's and you might end up
coming away with three four hundred dollars?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Right prepare Gucci Prada? Do they have the high est left?
That high? Of course? Okay?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All right, Well see I got sticker shot the first
few times I went in, and I stopped going back.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
So twenty nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Either that or we are inflating the value of the
products so that we can say, look how big our
bust was. Right, That's which I know that would never happen.
We never have law enforcement say something like we we
were able to capture fifty thousand fentanyl pills and we
saved two hundred and twenty two million lives because of it.
(25:16):
That math doesn't math. It's just not there. But whatever,
If I go to Timu, even with the tariffs, I
think I can get the same eleven pairs of glasses
for under fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 14 (25:31):
I mean they're gonna fall apart, But okay, Bigari Serpente Butterfly,
forty two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No at sunglasses hut, Well, Neiman Marcus.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Okay, well they didn't break in Animan Marcus. They broke
into sunglasses hut.
Speaker 14 (25:45):
If they carry them, you know they carry one pair.
That's one pair is forty two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
If you break into a If you steal handbags from
Walmart and you steal ten bags, and I say those
ten bags were one hundred thousand dollars, and people go,
you're not stealing ten thousand dollars bags from Walmart? And
I go, I don't know, ermez uh Louis Vatan, Look,
I found these bags.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're twenty thousand dollars apiece.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, but Walmart's not selling them. I mean Walmart just
scary one ermez bag, you know, let us sit and
you're there.
Speaker 14 (26:18):
Okay, So Cardier pretty common, most of the people carry them.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Twelve hundred bucks, that's still a far craft from twenty
nine hundred.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Fair. Fair.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And also for those of you that are buying Cardia
for twelve hundred dollars, might I suggest timu where you
can get Cardi B for twelve dollars way cheaper, way cheaper.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
See what I did there? All right, I've got one more.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, it's the lawmakers and we'll get more of your
thoughts on our talkback question what is something one hundred
men could not defeat? That's next Chris merylf I AM
six forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Hi, welcome Chris Merril AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
More stimulating talk on demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app.
Podcast for the show found under the featured segments at
KFIAM six forty dot com. Question on a talkback today
via the app, what is something one hundred men could
not defeat. The internet was a buzz with the argument
over whether one hundred men could beat one gorilla. And again,
(27:24):
I have the answer to that coming up here in
the six o'clock hour. But I'm asking you, what is
something one hundred men could not defeat? Get that talk
back on the iHeart radio app.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Let me know what you think.
Speaker 18 (27:34):
Quote Victor you go, an invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Could you hear that that said? Did you hear it? Kayla?
I didn't let me play it again.
Speaker 18 (27:49):
Quote Victor you go, An invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh, quote Victor Hugo, An invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea who's time has come.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Okay, okay, I like that that.
Speaker 19 (28:02):
You can't defeat an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So he went to classic literature on us like that,
All right, let's see what else do we have?
Speaker 14 (28:11):
Now?
Speaker 17 (28:12):
One hundred men could not defeat HSV one.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Have a good Sunday, all right?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
So one guy went classic literature. That guy went herpes.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Okay, cool, outstanding, Calen, did you listen to any of
these before you send him on?
Speaker 13 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I did, he did, Yeah, just making sure. All right,
let's see what this one is.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Chris, one hundred men cannot beat masturbation, whether it's a town,
porn or other visual devices or anything. Han Solo always wins.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
So you filter that one, Kayla, which uh? Which straight?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Which audience members are tuning in today?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
At We're all over the board. Honestly, what kind of
answers did you expect?
Speaker 11 (28:56):
Chris?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I just love that he said, we can't defeat masturbation. Well,
technically you beat. I mean, you take a beating, you
give a beating too, at a girl, at a girl.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
There is one more story, you know, we do the lawmakers,
the lawbreakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law. There's one more that caught my attention earlier
this week, and I had to make mention of it
because I'm even if you wanted to argue the politics,
and you wanted to say, well, there's you know, there's
there's nuance to this, and you're not understanding the nuance.
(29:32):
I get that, But politically speaking, California Democrats have just
given the Republicans another very easy, easy win on this one.
If you missed it, there was a bill that was
proposed to remedy a former bill that already passed. The
former bill said if you solicit sex from anyone under.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Fifteen, that is a felony, but.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Seen in seventeen year olds, you can still solicit them
for sex and that's a misdemeanor. And Gavin Newsom said, what, No,
that should be a felony too.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So Kati La was talking with the bill's author about
this major.
Speaker 19 (30:17):
Battle this week in Sacramento over legislation aimed at increasing
penalties for those who solicit or purchase children for sex.
At issue whether the automatic felonies should apply to those
who traffic sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Is there an argument for no?
Speaker 19 (30:37):
Republican State Senator Shannon Grove, co author the much debated legislation.
I spoke with with Grove earlier about the bill and
the fight ahead. Senator Shannon Grove joining us, thank you
so much.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
For just skip it when she starts talking. Did we
do that?
Speaker 13 (30:54):
So?
Speaker 20 (30:54):
Absolutely so. It actually started two years ago. We introduced
a piece to legislation SB fourteen fourteen, and we went
after the buyers or solicitors of miners for sex.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, that would make sense, and.
Speaker 20 (31:08):
So we introduced that bill. We had all miners covered.
We went to Public Safety on the Senate side. They
forced amendments and only allowed us to cover fifteen year
olds and below took out sixteen and seventeen year olds.
No explanation, just did it. If we didn't accept those amendments,
then they would have killed the bill and we wouldn't
(31:28):
have got fifteen year old protections making it a felony
instead of a misdemeanor to buy them for sex.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
But you can propose, you can.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Okay, this is and I don't even know what the
argument because nobody's even making an argument. And it frustrated
me because I kept thinking, Okay, what could possibly be
the argument that offering to pay a sixteen year old
for sex is not a felony? And I thought, all right,
(31:58):
is the thought? Well, some people look older than they are.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I mean, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Grasping a straw trying to rationalize how they possibly could
come to this argument.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Is it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
They are old enough that if a sixteen or seventeen
year old is engaging in prostitution, they have the mental
capacity to make that decision better than someone who's fifteen
or younger. And again, I'm not really finding how this,
not finding any answers that justify this, And then I realized.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
How messed up this is.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Offering to buy sex from someone who's under fifteen is
a felony. Offering to buy sex from someone who's a
sixteen or seventeen year old is a misdemeanor. Why isn't
it just always a felony. If the idea is we're
going to try to attack prostitution, then shouldn't it always
(33:03):
be a felony?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Why is it?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Because well, yeah, but you know that guy, he was
just really lonely and his wife was out of town,
and so he, you know, he just took a wrong
turn and then he saw someone wearing some some hip
boots and a low cut top and just said, hey,
do you need a ride home?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
And so, you know, we should feel bad for the Johns.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
No, if the goal is to end sex trafficking, and
part of the way that you want to end sex
trafficking is to is to attack the demand, then attack
the demand on all levels, whether it's fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
or eighteen and over. If you want to legalized prostitution.
(33:50):
Then you can have a different argument about people who
are under eighteen. But we're not legalizing prostitution. We're trying
to end the sex trafficking. So how did he come
to this conclusion that sixteen and seventeen year olds are
going to be exempt from a Propositioning a sixteen or
seventeen year old makes you exempt from a felony doesn't make.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Any sense in any world ever, doesn't make.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Any sense at all. So I'm baffled by what they
were thinking in Sacramento. Totally baffled. In other words, as
we asked the question, what is something one hundred men
couldn't defeat? Obviously common sense is not one of those,
because we can beat common sense with just a simple
majority in Sacramento, so that's easily done. What is something
(34:35):
one hundred men couldn't defeat? Hit that talkback button on
the iHeart radio app and love to hear what your
thoughts are, and that will get more of those in
just a few moments. And it's politics as usual this
week and Trump some cuts people are excited to see
and changes that seem completely unnecessary. It's part for the course,
and it's next Chris Merril KFI AM six forty We're
live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1 (34:55):
KFI AM six on demand
You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Chris Merril KFI on demand anytime, the iHeartRadio app always
a pleasure talking with you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It's it was nice.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I didn't know Mark was in today, so that was
nice when when I pop on and Mark is there,
because you know why, he always says nice things to me.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
And I like that.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I think it's very very important to always brown nose
a little bit with the person coming in after you,
and I appreciate that he does that. That is uh,
that is old radio professionalism right there. So always nice
to hear Mark. I love doing that. In the last
segment there with Mark Thompson, you heard him going on
and on and on about Andrew Caravella. And Andrew's moving on,
and Andrew's doing something else. It's it's been like that
(00:42):
all weekend, Chris. It's crap and will while everyone else
is all, Oh Andrew this, and Andrew that.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Andrew. To be honest, you're dead to me, so.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
You know, for in all honesty and transparency, I was
trying to keep it as calm and low key. I
know you were as possible because you asked me, like,
you know, we're gonna do it. I'm like, no, you know,
let me just do a public statement on Monday, you know.
And then during the during the Fork Report, Neil just
you know, shares it with the world and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh my gosh, he did.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, so I had to go and put like a
public statement together for socials and I had to put
it out yesterday, so it's it's out there now.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, it pissed me off to start with, and it
still pisses me off. So you're just dead.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well, you know, I I travel a lot, so I'm
sure I'll see you eventually.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I look forward to the next time that we have
a chance to ignore each other. Oh okay, well it'll
be just like work again. Well, hey, you know, hanging
out together.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
If there's somebody that's on TV that's in the room,
I may just like desert you to go get a selfie.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You do too. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
In fact, I've shocked that you even made it to
your your your own newscast there because Mark Thompson's in
the studio and he used to be on TV.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well no longer though, so it's not that big of
a heal right now, not as exciting every.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Time and andrew sives somebody that's on TV. Hey can
I get a selfie?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Can I get it?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
They're like, Andrew, I've been here like fifty times, you
have fifty selfies usually I know I'm gonna go one
every time different outfits makes a flip book out of
him what he does. So we'll give Andrew Crapp throughout
the rest of the show tonight. Also, if you were
listening on the iHeartRadio app, as always, you can hit
that talkback button and leave us a message talkback question today,
you know, the big internet thing. And this has been
(02:30):
going on for a few weeks now, and and we
didn't ask any Cayla why didn't we do anything on
this before? Because I thought I thought we should have.
Did you nix that idea?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Andrew did? Andrew nixed? Did Yep?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Well, I think and I think I gained a lot
more attraction like this week.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Okay, So it was kind of like light talk.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
One hundred gorillas versus one man. No, that's not it,
one hundred men versus one gorilla.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
There you go, Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
My favorite was the hundred gorillas versus one Chuck Norris
who would win? And of course Chuck Norris won. I
love that we were able to bring back the Chuck
Norris stuff from twenty years ago. That made me very happy.
But the internet was a buzz with could one hundred
men defeat one gorilla? So our twist on this. If
you're on the app, hit the talkback button and send
(03:18):
a message. What is something that one hundred men could
not defeat? It doesn't have to be an animal, it
could be anything. What is something one hundred men could
not defeat?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Right?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So I was racking my brain on this, and I
was thinking the Chinese buffet. I've never seen an empty one.
So what is something one hundred men could not defeat?
The Chinese buffet?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You just fill up?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You feel so full you couldn't do it, So that's
my guess. Anyway, hit that talk back button. Let us
know what is something one hundred men could not defeat?
Speaker 7 (03:54):
All?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Right, enough of the niceties on we go. Big changes
coming to California include those of you who are if well,
you have to have certain qualifications. If you live in
a fire zone and you ain't got no money, honey,
there could be some help coming your way.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Trimming or removing trees, even fireproofing your roof can of
course be pricey. A new state build up the California
Safe Homes Act could provide grant money to low and
moderate income property owners to make fire safe improvements to
their homes.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No one's going to turn down money. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
I'd be skeptical only because i'm you know, skeptical lover.
You know, whatever government great age or does anything for homeowners.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I love it that this guy's going to get money.
And he's like, yeah, but I'm skeptical. You know, government
whenever they're giving aid.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
For homeowners to qualify for the funds, they need to
live within a high or very high fire risk zone
as determined by cal Fire. The state Insurance Department would
distribute to grants.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
I believe we need a dedicated program to maximize risk
mitigation benefits for Californians by a 'dressing a key barrier
the upfront cost of essential mitigation actions.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I agree with that. It ain't cheap, man, It
ain't cheap. And if you're in a high risk area
and you don't have any money, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
The bill comes at a time when the state is
grappling with how to persuade insurance companies to continue doing
business in California amid increasingly destructive wildfire seasons.
Speaker 10 (05:23):
The insurance industry is really going to start demanding of
its customers that they harden their homes.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, of course, the aret because they don't want to
pay out, right, So the insurance industry is going to say,
if you're in a fire prone area, we don't want
to give you any coverage, but if we have to
give you coverage, we want to make sure we don't
actually have to pay out. So whatever you can do
to make sure it doesn't cost us money, we're willing
to take that risk. You gotta love the insurance companies.
I love that all right, but who's going to pay for? Yeah,
(05:52):
one thing that we still haven't figured out in the state.
Money doesn't grow on trees.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Mark Brown from the Marine Wildfire Prevention Authority is supporting
the bill, which may help expand wildfire mitigation grants they
already offer.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
This is from, by the way, it's from my ABC
Bay area. So that's why you're hearing some stuff from
up north.
Speaker 10 (06:08):
From having an Assembly bill that's going to help residents
either harden their homes, whether through Class A roofs, their siding, vents,
gutter guards.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That sounds great, great zone zero love it.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
That's going to increase the availability of insurance in California.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Okay, cool, sounds like a solution. Who's going to pay
for it?
Speaker 8 (06:23):
State Farm covers me right now? But we'll see what
happens in the air. It might be nice to be
able to say, hey, look I can actually get coverage
from my house.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
It's still unclear where funding, but the Safe Homes Act
would come from.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Oh there you go. Okay, so we got a plan.
We ain't got no money, honey.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Meantime, California is pushing ahead with its zone zero policy,
expected to take effect next year. Homes in high hazard
areas would be required to clear anything flammable five feet
away from structures. In the North Bay Cornel Bernard, ABC
seven ers, So we.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Don't have any money, but we have this. We have
a solution, and like most solutions, is gonna cost money.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We don't have money. So what are we gonna do? Ooh?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
What do you suppose there's some sort of fund that
gets set up that gets paid for with.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Other policy owners have a fee? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Or what if we just raise taxes whatever it takes
to make sure that the insurance companies are able to
lower the risk and to make sure that the insurance
companies don't have to pay more.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
That's exactly how it's gonna work out. But I get.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It because otherwise the insurance companies leave and then we
got nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
One way or another. It's costing us. Just no, it's
gonna cost us.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of costing us, has have you thumbed through the
budgets lately? Budgets are super boring unless you find that
little trinket that makes everything so juicy, or you stage
what they did around city Hall and that is a
dye in.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wait until you hear this how to make budgets not boring?
That's next.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, first of all, yeah, that's funny. Second, why does
that guy sound like he's got the voiceover? Mike Andrew,
you and Mark Thompson, we're talking about voiceovers. Yeah, listen
to this guy. Listen to this, Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I think this is just on his phone, isn't it?
Unless he's me. I don't know. Maybe he's recording on
his computer.
Speaker 11 (09:21):
So listener, one hundred men could not defeat one angry woman.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah that's a phone. That's a phone.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, it's probably an iPhone. But yeah, yeah it sounds good.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Speaking of voiceover work, I'm here in Deborah Mark all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Oh yeah, she's so famous afternoon news Ank or Deborah
Mark if you hear her during the week. I take
some pies with her too, by the way, I bet
you do.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, yeah, hy, Deborah, you take a picture. She loves
She loves it all right. So if you open up
the app, just click on that talk back. Let us
know what is something one hundred men could not defeat.
The internet was a buzz this week with whether or
not one hundred men could take down a gorilla.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Incidentally, I've got my.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Answer to that, which I haven't heard from anybody else,
coming up in the six o'clock hour today. There is
never any money, never any money, Ain't nobody got no
money for nothing but trying to make sure we've got
enough money to keep the libraries open and keep the
schools open. Want to make sure there's enough money so
that people can afford to update their houses, so they'll
(10:27):
have to pay exorbitant home insurance for fires, all kinds
of things.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And yet the.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
City of Los Angeles is short by a billion dollars,
I mean a billion dollars here, billion dollars there.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Pretty soon you're talking about a lot of.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Money, but great news Mayor Bass has got the solution.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
She's got this figured out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
She says she's willing to take a pay cut and
willing to fire sixteen hundred people.
Speaker 12 (10:56):
LA Mayor Karen Bass says she'll take a pay cut
and freeze raises for her off at LA as they
face a nearly one billion dollar budget shortfall. Herspocksherson says
staff will skip raises through June of next year. The
mayor's office did not say how much of a pay
cut Bass would take or when it would go into effect.
Her current salary right now is three hundred and one
(11:18):
thousand dollars a year. The city council will continue these
budget talks on Monday.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh that's nice. So how much is she really willing
to freeze? I was I was reading the article by
Noah Goldberg, who's the staff writer at the La Times,
and he was talking about how she said she's gonna
she's going to make cuts.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
To her own office.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
She says, uh, we've we've got we've got to make
these these broad cuts, cutting her office as well. Here's
what Noah says, when the mayor released her proposed budget,
I turned to the section for her office only to find,
to my confusion, that it had grown ten point one
million in the last fiscal year to ten point seven
(12:03):
million for the next fiscal year. The office was also
spared from having a layoff a single member of the
ninety four person team, even while Bass was proposing one thousand,
six hundred and fifty layoffs elsewhere in city government. So
how did they come up with the notion that she
was reducing her own funding? According to the Deputy Mayor
of Communications, the city administrative officers recalculation of the coming
(12:25):
fiscal year's budget actually showed, uh, oh, we're getting cities planned.
Actually showed a one point two million dollar decrease. How's
that when it is actually up by more than half
a million dollars. Employees in the Mayor's office are not
getting regularly scheduled cost of living races.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The first was to come in June. There would have
been a four percent increase.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Then they were supposed to get another raised in December
that would have been another two percent increase, and then
they were supposed to get another raise next June for
another four percent. Well that's nice, so they said, basically,
by not giving those raises, we save ten percent.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That's some city math there. That is some math wooo, and.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
We're all supposed to go, oh, look they're making sacrifices,
sure you are. Meanwhile, we're all wondering how much art
Christmas is going to cost, and if my daughter's even
gonna be able to get twenty nine dollars this year,
just back from the thirty dollars she's accustomed to getting. Meanwhile,
some people protesting where those cuts are going to come from,
(13:32):
and they say it's going to cost lives.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
They called it a die in on the street in
front of La City Hall.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
There have been more traffic fatalities than homicide.
Speaker 14 (13:41):
This is really, honestly a state of emergency type issue.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
That issue is what he calls doze like cuts to
the city's transportation department and street safety.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Look, if you're a billion dollars over budget, you're going
to have to make doge like cuts. That's going to happen.
Nobody's going to be happy about it. But it does
seem like some people are feeling the pain more than others.
Speaker 10 (14:04):
This is taking a page out of a lawn musk's
playbook on a who's playbook, out of a lawn Musk's
playbook Alan.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I don't think I've ever heard him called Alan. I've
just cotton across the boards.
Speaker 15 (14:16):
This is the most fiscally irresponsible budget that could possibly
be proposed.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh no, not the most irresponsible possible. Don't ever challenge
a politician to be worse.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
The budget for this next year will slash hundreds of
jobs and millions of dollars from street safety things like
street and sidewalk repairs and restriping improvements, to dangerous intersections,
safety cameras, and parking enforcement, which would reduce revenue.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right, well, yeah, we don't want to reduce revenue
by not handing out parking tickets. Yeah, that's the one
thing we're all really worried about. Look, I hate to
say this, but we're kind of at that point where
you got to save a billion and that means that
the yanky sidewalk in front of your place is going
to be janky for another year. I don't like it either,
(15:09):
But I mean, what else do you want to do.
We're not gonna what do you want the mayor to
start laying off people out of her office? But just
so that you can get your wheelchair on the sidewalk,
How dare you, how dare you those people in that office,
they depend on their six figure salaries, how dare you
(15:30):
ask them to make sacrifices?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's sarcasm still to come.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The law makers, the law breakers, the times there ought
to be a law And if you're listening on the app,
the talkback question today, what is something one hundred men
couldn't defeat? All right, looking forward to your responses on that.
You'll hear what the others have to say next. Chris Merril,
can'tf I AM six forty live everywhere in your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Thank you, hay nude On Chris Merril, Always pleasure being
with you. The talkback question today is spawned from the Internet.
I don't know what do we call this tayla internet controversy.
I don't know if I want to call it a
controversy internet exercise? Who would win one? And I'm assuming
(16:15):
they mean a silverback gorilla or one hundred men in battle?
I have my answer to that coming up in the
six o'clock hour. What is something one hundred men could
not defeat? If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Click
on that talkback button and let us know what you think.
Speaker 14 (16:29):
What do you think him, mister merril Hi, one hundred
men probably couldn't defeat King Kong.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I suppose it depends on the ape. It also
depends on the man, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
If you had one.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hundred Navy seals against one gorilla, that would be a
lot better than one hundred mees against a gorilla.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Big difference.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Right, What if you had one hundred Bruce Lees against
a gorilla?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I mean it depends. It matters. It matters who's on
your team. Okay, So your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Who? What would it be? Hit that talk back on
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
In the meantime, lawmakers, law breakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law. We'll start with the
news that was breaking and broka. I guess yesterday it
was a bad situation with a shooting in Englewood at
(17:28):
Spartan College and they have if you missed it, they
have a guy in custody.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Turns out it was the guy that worked there.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Students and staff at Spartan College ran and hid as
a former security guard at the school returned to campus
and opened fire around three point forty this afternoon. One
of the employees contacted his girlfriend from inside the building and.
Speaker 16 (17:45):
He heard the gunshot. So he is looking for somewhere
to hide, but there's a big glass window.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Oh my gosh, can you imagine how exposed you feel? Oh? Horrible?
Speaker 16 (17:54):
And so he was just he locked the door and
he it's just trying to hide as best as he cut.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
That shooter, apparently wearing his security uniform, shot to employees
in a reception area. According to Englewood Mayor James Butts,
so the guy.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And this is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Imagine if the shooter looks like the person you're supposed
to be able to trust, that's a bad deal, man.
I mean, that is some die hard level stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Two female Hispanic victims.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
We believe it occurred in an office inside the school.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
Cell Phone video taken from a car rental parking lot
across the street from the college shows first responders carrying
one of the injured women away from the building.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Countless officers rushed to the school on Aviation Boulevard, just
south of Manchester, searching the campus in nearby buildings, but
quickly realized the suspect was long gone.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Turns out he didn't get that far. Since he was
a former employee.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Authorities knew his name and the car he was in,
and that vehicle was spotted in Koreatown A few hours
after the shooting. A man matching in the description of
the shooter was hand cuffed and detained, but police won't
confirm his identity. They did say though the shooter is
in custody. The dozens of students and staff at the
aviation school Friday afternoon, we're all interviewed by investigators as
(19:11):
police try to understand what led up to the shooting.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
That employee you.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Hid told his girlfriend there was no tension today. In fact,
spirits were high.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Wow, all right, I love the resiliency.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I think everybody was happy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It was Friday.
Speaker 16 (19:22):
They have the weekends off.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
He said.
Speaker 16 (19:24):
We were all having you know, just we were having
a good time, like you know, everybody was working.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
The president of Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology said
they prepare for almost every kind of emergency, but this
still caught everyone off guard.
Speaker 17 (19:35):
Yeah, but we go through safety drills, fire drills, earthquake
drills were aviation schools, So safety is one of the
things that we focus on the most. We all get
along really well, care about one another deeply, and that
this is, uh, this is hard on.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
All of us. I don't know about you, but every
time I see that, oh, there was a shooting, my
heart just sinks.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I just I want to. I want to be able
to ignore it. I can't, obviously, but I want. I
want to. I want to be able to just ignore
the whole thing and just pretend it's not there. But
unfortunately there is no There is no ignoring that, which
is probably just as well. Right, Okay, what's going on
with the squatters. Squatters are a real pain of butt.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
The house fire on Wilton Place in Hollywood happened in
the dark of night, but neighbors had long seen it coming.
They say this is hardly the first fire on this block,
or even on that property.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Every other week.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty concerning.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
The space is supposed to be abandoned, but neighbors say
it was anything but.
Speaker 15 (20:34):
Previously it was the encampments. Those have all burned, and
when those fires happened, a lot of those people we believe,
ended up in these buildings on Wilton.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
They always cut what am I missing? How come there's
always fires around homeless people? Do we know?
Speaker 14 (20:54):
Well, lately it's been cold, so I can assume that
maybe just to keep warmer, or.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I think so I was kind, maybe maybe to cook,
you know, yeah, I'm just maybe to be destructive.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Oh you think it's arsenal, like intentional arson. I mean,
I don't set something on fire.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's just an option, for sure.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
I'm sure not every fire is destruction, but I'm sure
some of them are.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, anytime there's a fire in a populated area, I
feel like like nine times out of ten, and I
know my stats are probably not right, but it feels
like nine times out of ten it's started by somebody
that's homeless. And I'm just wondering, is this is this
somebody you just have to do with drug use or
I don't know. Maybe maybe Roul's right, Maybe it has
(21:37):
to do with trying to stay warm and just lighting
little fires and then I don't know, ignoring them or
something I don't know.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
Come pushed them out, put a new fans and then
they come back the night. The same night, the homeless
people would come back the same night, and then they
would like cut into fans.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Okay, so they're putting up a fance to keep people out,
and as soon as they leave, as soon as authorities leave,
or fence company leaves, or whomever, then they come right
back by, cut the fence and go right back in.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Today's fire was so bad. After putting it out, firefighters
had to demolish the building because of the risk of collapse.
An official cause of fire has not yet been determined,
but neighbors feel pretty strongly they know what's to blame.
Speaker 15 (22:14):
We need to go in and get the people as
soon as they break in, arrest them and put them
in jail. I don't care. I don't have any compassion
or empathy left in my soul about this because I
feel this terrified.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's too bad.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
The house has gone now, but neighbors say they won't
sleep any easier.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh, it's not going to quiet down.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's been like that for weeks.
Speaker 15 (22:33):
And this is just one of four houses that is troublesome.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Well, why don't they just what's the problem. Can't they
condemn the other houses, just tear them down before they burn.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
So we're in Council District thirteen, and a spokesperson from
that office and as a statement about this matter, saying, currently,
until a property is formally declared as a public nuisance,
the city is only allowed to access private property during
an immediate public safety emergency like an actively burning fire.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh so they can't do anything, all right?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, I guess the flip side of that is that
means that people can't come charging into our houses.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
As a city, we need to fix this broken system
and speed up the process to declare dangerous properties of
public nuisance so we can act faster and keep our
community safe.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
All right, Yeah, you gotta do something about it. Man,
that's frustrating. Is all get out?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Final story.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Actually, I'll extend it a little bit because I have
a legislative story I want to cover in the next segment.
But final story from the law breakers anyway, Sam Bernardino County.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I thought this was interesting. The Sheriff's department arrested three
of seven.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Suspects who stormed a sunglasses Hut location and took off
with eleven pairs of glasses worth thirty thousand dollars. Okay,
first first observation is, oh, my goodness, we're still doing
the smashing grab nonsense.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I thought that was so twenty twenty three. But I
guess we're doing smash and.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Grab stillcond thing I'm doing the math on this. Eleven
pairs of sunglasses means that the sunglasses from Sunglasses Hot
are what twenty eight hundred bucks apiece? That twenty hot? Okay, yeah,
that feels a little pricey to me. Uh and I look,
(24:19):
I've been to sunglasses that. I know you tend to
pay a little more at sunglasses. Hut, I get that,
But are they selling twenty nine hundred dollars pairs of sunglasses?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Am I wrong? I haven't been there in a while.
I don't know about that much. But they're pretty expensive,
I know they are.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You going there, you get ray Bans or something and
you get to oak Ley's and you might end up
coming away with three four hundred dollars?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Right prepare Gucci Prada? Do they have the high est left?
That high? Of course? Okay?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
All right, Well see I got sticker shot the first
few times I went in, and I stopped going back.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
So twenty nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Either that or we are inflating the value of the
products so that we can say, look how big our
bust was. Right, That's which I know that would never happen.
We never have law enforcement say something like we we
were able to capture fifty thousand fentanyl pills and we
saved two hundred and twenty two million lives because of it.
(25:16):
That math doesn't math. It's just not there. But whatever,
If I go to Timu, even with the tariffs, I
think I can get the same eleven pairs of glasses
for under fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 14 (25:31):
I mean they're gonna fall apart, But okay, Bigari Serpente Butterfly,
forty two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
No at sunglasses hut, Well, Neiman Marcus.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Okay, well they didn't break in Animan Marcus. They broke
into sunglasses hut.
Speaker 14 (25:45):
If they carry them, you know they carry one pair.
That's one pair is forty two hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
If you break into a If you steal handbags from
Walmart and you steal ten bags, and I say those
ten bags were one hundred thousand dollars, and people go,
you're not stealing ten thousand dollars bags from Walmart? And
I go, I don't know, ermez uh Louis Vatan, Look,
I found these bags.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
They're twenty thousand dollars apiece.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, but Walmart's not selling them. I mean Walmart just
scary one ermez bag, you know, let us sit and
you're there.
Speaker 14 (26:18):
Okay, So Cardier pretty common, most of the people carry them.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Twelve hundred bucks, that's still a far craft from twenty
nine hundred.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Fair. Fair.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And also for those of you that are buying Cardia
for twelve hundred dollars, might I suggest timu where you
can get Cardi B for twelve dollars way cheaper, way cheaper.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
See what I did there? All right, I've got one more.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, it's the lawmakers and we'll get more of your
thoughts on our talkback question what is something one hundred
men could not defeat? That's next Chris merylf I AM
six forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Hi, welcome Chris Merril AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
More stimulating talk on demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app.
Podcast for the show found under the featured segments at
KFIAM six forty dot com. Question on a talkback today
via the app, what is something one hundred men could
not defeat. The internet was a buzz with the argument
over whether one hundred men could beat one gorilla. And again,
(27:24):
I have the answer to that coming up here in
the six o'clock hour. But I'm asking you, what is
something one hundred men could not defeat? Get that talk
back on the iHeart radio app.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Let me know what you think.
Speaker 18 (27:34):
Quote Victor you go, an invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Could you hear that that said? Did you hear it? Kayla?
I didn't let me play it again.
Speaker 18 (27:49):
Quote Victor you go, An invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh, quote Victor Hugo, An invasion of armies can be resisted,
but not an idea who's time has come.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Okay, okay, I like that that.
Speaker 19 (28:02):
You can't defeat an idea whose time has come?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So he went to classic literature on us like that,
All right, let's see what else do we have?
Speaker 14 (28:11):
Now?
Speaker 17 (28:12):
One hundred men could not defeat HSV one.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Have a good Sunday, all right?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
So one guy went classic literature. That guy went herpes.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Okay, cool, outstanding, Calen, did you listen to any of
these before you send him on?
Speaker 13 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I did, he did, Yeah, just making sure. All right,
let's see what this one is.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
Chris, one hundred men cannot beat masturbation, whether it's a town,
porn or other visual devices or anything. Han Solo always wins.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
So you filter that one, Kayla, which uh? Which straight?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Which audience members are tuning in today?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
At We're all over the board. Honestly, what kind of
answers did you expect?
Speaker 11 (28:56):
Chris?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I just love that he said, we can't defeat masturbation. Well,
technically you beat. I mean, you take a beating, you
give a beating too, at a girl, at a girl.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
There is one more story, you know, we do the lawmakers,
the lawbreakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law. There's one more that caught my attention earlier
this week, and I had to make mention of it
because I'm even if you wanted to argue the politics,
and you wanted to say, well, there's you know, there's
there's nuance to this, and you're not understanding the nuance.
(29:32):
I get that, But politically speaking, California Democrats have just
given the Republicans another very easy, easy win on this one.
If you missed it, there was a bill that was
proposed to remedy a former bill that already passed. The
former bill said if you solicit sex from anyone under.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Fifteen, that is a felony, but.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Seen in seventeen year olds, you can still solicit them
for sex and that's a misdemeanor. And Gavin Newsom said, what, No,
that should be a felony too.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
So Kati La was talking with the bill's author about
this major.
Speaker 19 (30:17):
Battle this week in Sacramento over legislation aimed at increasing
penalties for those who solicit or purchase children for sex.
At issue whether the automatic felonies should apply to those
who traffic sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Is there an argument for no?
Speaker 19 (30:37):
Republican State Senator Shannon Grove, co author the much debated legislation.
I spoke with with Grove earlier about the bill and
the fight ahead. Senator Shannon Grove joining us, thank you
so much.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
For just skip it when she starts talking. Did we
do that?
Speaker 13 (30:54):
So?
Speaker 20 (30:54):
Absolutely so. It actually started two years ago. We introduced
a piece to legislation SB fourteen fourteen, and we went
after the buyers or solicitors of miners for sex.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, that would make sense, and.
Speaker 20 (31:08):
So we introduced that bill. We had all miners covered.
We went to Public Safety on the Senate side. They
forced amendments and only allowed us to cover fifteen year
olds and below took out sixteen and seventeen year olds.
No explanation, just did it. If we didn't accept those amendments,
then they would have killed the bill and we wouldn't
(31:28):
have got fifteen year old protections making it a felony
instead of a misdemeanor to buy them for sex.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
But you can propose, you can.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Okay, this is and I don't even know what the
argument because nobody's even making an argument. And it frustrated
me because I kept thinking, Okay, what could possibly be
the argument that offering to pay a sixteen year old
for sex is not a felony? And I thought, all right,
(31:58):
is the thought? Well, some people look older than they are.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I mean, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Grasping a straw trying to rationalize how they possibly could
come to this argument.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Is it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
They are old enough that if a sixteen or seventeen
year old is engaging in prostitution, they have the mental
capacity to make that decision better than someone who's fifteen
or younger. And again, I'm not really finding how this,
not finding any answers that justify this, And then I realized.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
How messed up this is.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Offering to buy sex from someone who's under fifteen is
a felony. Offering to buy sex from someone who's a
sixteen or seventeen year old is a misdemeanor. Why isn't
it just always a felony. If the idea is we're
going to try to attack prostitution, then shouldn't it always
(33:03):
be a felony?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Why is it?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Because well, yeah, but you know that guy, he was
just really lonely and his wife was out of town,
and so he, you know, he just took a wrong
turn and then he saw someone wearing some some hip
boots and a low cut top and just said, hey,
do you need a ride home?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
And so, you know, we should feel bad for the Johns.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
No, if the goal is to end sex trafficking, and
part of the way that you want to end sex
trafficking is to is to attack the demand, then attack
the demand on all levels, whether it's fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
or eighteen and over. If you want to legalized prostitution.
(33:50):
Then you can have a different argument about people who
are under eighteen. But we're not legalizing prostitution. We're trying
to end the sex trafficking. So how did he come
to this conclusion that sixteen and seventeen year olds are
going to be exempt from a Propositioning a sixteen or
seventeen year old makes you exempt from a felony doesn't make.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Any sense in any world ever, doesn't make.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Any sense at all. So I'm baffled by what they
were thinking in Sacramento. Totally baffled. In other words, as
we asked the question, what is something one hundred men
couldn't defeat? Obviously common sense is not one of those,
because we can beat common sense with just a simple
majority in Sacramento, so that's easily done. What is something
(34:35):
one hundred men couldn't defeat? Hit that talkback button on
the iHeart radio app and love to hear what your
thoughts are, and that will get more of those in
just a few moments. And it's politics as usual this
week and Trump some cuts people are excited to see
and changes that seem completely unnecessary. It's part for the course,
