This is Later with Mo Kelly. You're truly Twalla Sharp
filling in for Mo with a look at Let's start
with some places where you actually can go and watch
some fireworks. I know, all week we've been talking about
(00:41):
all the cancelations, and I've got some cancelations coming up
for you, all right, but let's first talk about the
celebratory nature of the ninth of July that's taking place
on the fourth. In Los Angeles County, Marina del Rey,
(01:01):
They're having their annual show scheduled tomorrow at nine pm
in Guardena at Raley Park from five to ten, food trucks,
live music, kid activities, in a fireworks show beginning at nine.
In Eagle Rock, there will be community events with live
music and a fireworks show at eight forty five in
(01:24):
Woodland Hills at Warner Center Park Bob Bloomfield's Firework Extravaganza
that begins at dusk with an annual display, live vendors,
live music, all of that porta ranch over at Shepherd's
Church there will actually be a July spectacular that will
take place at their Rinaldi Street location Dodger Stadium. Of course,
(01:50):
they will have their post game firework special tomorrow and
the Hollywood Bawl. Yes, you know, the Hollywood Bowl is
no stranger to getting down with a massive fireworks spectacular,
and tomorrow's no different. Seven thirty pm. Earth Wind and
Fire will be headlining three nights of concerts capped with
(02:13):
fireworks happening appropriately on July second, is when the first
one happened tonight and tomorrow on the fourth. All these
shows start at seven point thirty and Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
I did not know that this was such a happening
place until my son went there for a concert and
just talked about how fantastic the concert was. And know,
(02:36):
people go here and they do movies and all types
of events happening where people are partying amongst the dead
because it is an actual cemetery. It's not just called
the Hollywood Cemetery, it's other cemetery, and people are partying
with you know, famous dead people. That's who's in the
ground there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, they are having or they are showing top gun
plus fireworks so you're getting gun you know, racing too
the danger zone and you're getting fireworks and the dead
and the dead and the dead.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm sure you know I mean to be. This is
not my thing. It's not my thing, not a thing,
even though okay, all right, quick detour back in the
day living in it out to Dina. The street that
we lived on was like kind of cut right out
of a cemetery, right so the cemetery right up there
on far Oaks, I said, woodlawns. And every Halloween it's
(03:36):
always fogging out to Dean for some reason. Another we
used to go and hop the wall and run around
in the cemetery and you know, try to scare each other,
and you know, see who gets scared. And it was
always like last one out was like you know, your
g that was the price. You're just like you thought
you're the man, You're the last one out.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, we did a little bit of that too, and
one of my friends locked me in a tomb.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I understand a lot about you now. That says a
whole lot about your sache. That sounds like you had
some trauma behind it. There's a lot trauma into art.
I used it for a story for DC a few
years ago. There Cool Locked in a tune. All right, Okay,
there you go, tomb Raid or Mark in the South
Bay Rodondo Beach Seaside Lagoon, they're having their shindig from
(04:21):
two to nine pm live music, food and fireworks over
Kington Harbor and nine pm. Tickets are required to that one.
A lot of these are free, A lot of these
have been mentioned. Just you just go out there and
check them out. Torrents at the Civic Center, gates will
open at four pm with music and fireworks at nine.
All that's free with the ticket. Sure, I think the
(04:42):
ticket implies that maybe it's not free, or maybe just
go there, give me a ticket so then they can
verify that you're there. Demand entry, just demandatry Yes, El
Segundo at the Recreation Park ten am to nine pm,
family games, live music and fireworks. But at nine, I
mean right now it's eight o'clock. I mean, is it
(05:03):
gonna get that much darker? I don't know. This nine
o'clock is kind of early for fireworks, but hey, this
is what they want to do on Long Beach. Big
Bang on the Bay Block party and fireworks happening from
five to eight thirty pm. Now never mind, scratched that one.
That one's happening right now. What's it called. It's a
(05:25):
big Bang on the Bay? Is this one of these
diddy freakofs? It does kind of sound a little freaky. Huh, Yeah,
it's a big bang on the bay. That's a little freaky.
That's a little freaky. But I mean you may look
if you are over in the area, you got like
thirty minutes to get over there because there's gonna be
a fireworks and flyover, barbecue everything. It's happening right now.
But just you know, it's going to like, you know,
(05:47):
eight thirty pm. So so don't go to that, all right,
scratch that one off the lists, all right. But the
waterfront that is tomorrow the Waterfront Fireworks public viewing from
at nine pm. Fireworks are visible from the shoreline village,
Marina Green and Lion's Lighthouse. Nice. Nice, And of course
there's the Queen Mary Fourth of July party, and this
(06:10):
is a decades party where they're not just having fireworks
in all types of food, but on every deck they're
representing a different decade, you know, the Swing era, the
Rolling twenties or whatever. It's just a bunch of errors,
all right, And every area you're supposed to come dressed
(06:30):
up and celebrate fireworks on all the decks.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So is there a deck with a bunch of Cosby
sweaters for the eighties the eighties?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That might be bee boy gear. I think maybe i'd
show up in some brundiam C gear. Okay, ill you know,
in Adida sweatsuit with my shelter Adidas. I'll do that.
I think you should wear that to work anyway. I mean, look,
it is fresh, it's very fresh. It is fresh. Harbor Cruises.
There's the Harbor Breeze Cruise, YEP cruise around from starting
(07:01):
the little Crew starts at seven and you'll be catching
fireworks on that Aquarium of the Pacific Aquarium of the
Pacific rooftop barbecue and fireworks twelve to two pm. That
seems counterintuitive. Who in the hell is having fireworks from
twelve to two pm? That is suspicious. That's very suspicious.
(07:21):
Maybe you're just going for the barbecue, but why put
fireworks if your event is tomorrow from twelve to two
that's just I don't even understand why they're advertising that. Yeah,
someone needs to look at this just say, come through
and have some barbecue. I don't know. Hotel Maya they're
having a pull side barbecue and that's just a pulside barbecue.
(07:41):
They just want you to come there and see they're
being honest. It's just barbecue. From eleven to three, all right,
and Fairmont Breakers, Halo Rooftop Party and DJ Cocktail, Skyline
Fireworks view all that good stuff. I've gotten more. I
got a few more I want to share, and I'm
gonna say these to the other side of the breaks.
(08:01):
I also want to talk about Pasadena and how they
are joining this new revolution in fireworks shows, and I
want to tell you all about that. So don't you
go nowhere, keep it right here.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
KFI AM six Footy Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
to Wild the Shark in for Mo Kelly. Later with Mo.
Mo was out getting the chateau all together and ready
for this cavalcade of guests that will be coming in
to his place to celebrate in the best ways possible.
(08:57):
The bake off will be in full effect. We'll streaming
the Bakeoff live. No I will not be entering this year,
did not have a kitchen in which to set my
baking of blaze this year, so no, I have to
sit back in and just enjoy the food. I know
Carnesia are cast member and social media manager and chat
(09:22):
manager is bringing ooey gooey ooie wee cake some something
from Nolins, and I look, I just look forward to
the festivities and really the sounds of what I call
bea root because it sounds like just a war zone.
And I'm not trying to make light of war zones,
(09:43):
but it's actual ordinance that's going off out there. It
does not sound like just firecrackers and wizzards and bangers. No,
it is just actual bombs going off. These things are
going off, and car alarms are are are just the
entire block. Because you hear you fill it when some
(10:05):
of these things go off, it's just boom.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And you're like, that was not a damn firecracker. Pets
love that, by the way, Oh they do. Oh they do.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All the ones who get lost and run away and
end up at the shelters and are never picked up,
they love it. Mark They absolutely do. More on pet
care in a minute, but first Let's look at some
places that are having some more fireworks celebrations. In Orange County,
Huntington Beach, the Surf City Celebration is going down five
(10:35):
k run at seven am, a parade at ten am,
live music, Beach Festival, and fireworks at nine. Irvine at
the Great Park Family Festival four to nine thirty pm, games,
food and a drone plus fireworks finale. Ooh, I like that.
I like the sound of that. In Fullerton, the Firework
(10:56):
Festival is happening from five to nine thirty pm, held
at Fullerton Union High School Stadium. San Juan Capistrano at
Sports Park, there's a carnival and fireworks. Nice. They'll have rides,
live music, firework finale. Coasta Mesa at the o C
Fair and Event Center there is the Community Festival that
(11:19):
is happening from five to eleven pm. Gates open at four,
fireworks at nine thirty. Anaheim Hills Full Day Celebrations Full
Day seven am to nine pm. Firecracker Run dog Show.
So you're bringing dogs off to this? Okay, I'm s
armorm so I said. Firework run, dog show, parade, festival
(11:40):
and fireworks dog show. Why you gotta do that to
the dogs. I don't know, it's fireworks, man. Let the
dogs be in Awhi are the dogs Anaheim Hills. You
all are tripping bring your dogs out for this and
you have the dogs after the firecracker run, So first
you scare the Holy but Jesus out of them and
then you make them parade around. You're asking for some
(12:01):
dog PTSD man, I would rethink that one. Anaheim Hills.
I don't know. I don't know. Newport Beach, Yep, there
is a firework cruise that is happening, and Santa Ana
at Centennial Park. There is of course more firework festivities.
But the thing that I really wanted to talk about,
(12:21):
a thing that I think I'm probably most excited even
though I'm not going, is what they're doing at the
Rose Bowl. Now. Being from Pasadena, the Rose Bowl Firework
Spectacular is almost second to none. I mean, this event
that they used to do at the Rose Bowl, it
was absolutely just studing, just a NonStop barrage of some
(12:45):
of the most beautiful firework art that you've ever seen.
I mean, this thing could rival Disneyland. It was just
that amazing, really really really now. Growing up as a kid,
we didn't always have tickets to go. But back in
the day, fires would shoot all the way up in
the air above the above the bowl, and you can
at least see like the finale, and you could go
(13:06):
and just find a spot and park along you know,
the hills, and just sit and watch the fireworks. Even
sometimes on a really clear night, we could get on
my neighbor who lived across the street. We could get
on his roof and just see straight down to the
Rose bul like just like just no, you know, no
blockers in our feet. Then the Rose Bowl started saying,
(13:30):
wait a minute, a bunch of freeloaders are watching our show.
Even got people tailgating in the parking lot. They don't
want to pay to get in, So then they started
trying to lower the fireworks so that they're only in
the bowl. That was whack.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, next you'll have people expecting healthcare. You can't just
let them look at your fireworks for nothing. I mean,
you know, why take care of the people.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Why?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Mark, I gotta tell you though, like a patriotic American,
I'm pleased to watch things blowing up, but nothing makes
me feel more like one of the chimps from two
thousand and one, A Space Odyssey, then looking up at
fireworks on the fourth.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Of July going uh, look at that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, yes, especially when they really do something spectacular.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Oh, Mark, I wish you could come tomorrow. Oh how
I wish? Oh I will, well, I'll look on your
Instagram page. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They will be just like being there, except I won't
get any of the fun food.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And I won't get to see you in what your
American flag speedo or whatever you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I will probably get a red, white and blue shirt
or something. Maybe I'll find a really cool Captain America shirt. Yeah. See,
now you're talking. So that's what I typically don't find
a nice Captain America shirt.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Bring bring comics into the holiday. That makes them all better.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Hey, cap punch Hitler And that's how much more patriotic
can you get? Your damn Righty did knock him the
hell out at the Pasadena though. What they're doing now, though,
they're moving away from Firewars all together, and they're moving
into doing a drone show. And I think that this
is absolutely stunning the first time I saw like a
(15:01):
really really cool drone show and it was just on TV.
It was when I was watching America's Got Talent one
night and they did this show in the air and
they did all these characters and all this movement and
it was just drones, and I was like, that was
absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Those are incredible And it baffles me how they coordinate
those with whatever AI they have.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It's sick. It's it's crazy. Because then you get fast
forward Comic Con last year when they announced the Fantastic
Four and they did that insane drone show where the
end the drones formed a big four in the air
and then Galactus came up out of nowhere. It was just, yes,
it was crazy, all with drones. It was a whole
(15:45):
animated scene. And then they did all the characters. It
was crazy, absolutely crazy with drones. Just think dogs, cats, birds,
all of your pets will not be freaking out. All
of our soldiers who we say we care so much
about soldiers who were returning home with severe PTSD. We
(16:07):
are here this home of the Brave, We care about
our soldiers, We honor our soldiers, yet we take them
back to the horrors of war on the fourth that's
also crazy to me that that's just like wow. Then
we have idiots out here who are shooting their guns
in the air for some reason, they don't understand these
bullets coming back down that that's just that's beyond them
(16:28):
to see. They're not shooting into the ground, They're shooting
into the air, all right. And then there are people
who are just the trauma of hearing fireworks. I know
she probably doesn't want me to put this out there,
but my co parent she lost her father to gunfire,
and when I first met her, I wanted to take
her to the Rose bull like, oh, babe, babe, we're
going to the Rose, but I'm gonna show you this,
(16:48):
and she wouldn't. She had. It took her a minute
to tell me why she couldn't because she didn't want
to like relive them. But she was like, dude, like,
I cannot be around fireworks. I have never never in
our in our life, forget. I've never gotten her to
come to Moe's nothing. She's like, ooh, thanks for the invite,
but no, no, she's not down fireworks. So I think
about people like that. So when I hear that the
(17:10):
Rosebu's doing this drone show, that's something I really want
to see and I hope more, more cities, more states
adopt drones and leave these fireworks just just in the past.
Especially here in southern California. We've got you know, the
second largest fire in the history of California burning, uh,
you know, just up to one oh one right now.
(17:32):
Altadiva still has not recovered from a massive fire. And
it's really really dry right now. I know, you may
think we got a little rain. We did. We didn't
get enough rain to account for some idiot up in
some hill or some park or somewhere where it's dry,
lighting up some fireworks and setting something on fire, not
just blowing up your house or blowing your fingers off,
(17:52):
burning down your community. These are things that can happen
right now what you're playing with your fireworks. So yeah, drones,
that's the way to go. Trones shows. I know we
can't do anything about you know, Yahoo's in the hood,
but whatever, whatever, they're gonna do. What they're gonna do.
Patrones Man Thrones in the future.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Later with Moe Kelly to Wailer Sharp filling
in for moen Mark, got a question for you. Do
you know what has been going on this fourth of
July week?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Can you give me a little more to go on there?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Ice raids?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yes, that yes, ice raids. It's gotten to the point
where now LAPD is being overwhelmed with calls regarding kidnappings
because you got these individuals rolling up in unmarked cars
with no real recognizable identity, mass On just pulling up,
(19:13):
grabbing women, grabbing kids, grabbing just you know what I mean,
how do we know? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's the theory that's out there. That's because it's really
it's true. It's like, you know, a bunch of guys
roll upon you with mass on, you roll upon me
with a bunch of mass On. I'm thinking to myself,
this is a jack move. Well, there have been reported
some incidents of people who weren't with ICE trying to
do stuff, passing themselves off in those kind of outfits. Yeah,
and when you've got officers who won't identify themselves and
(19:39):
don't have a traditional uniform, you're going to get that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're going to get that every single time. And this
week it has just been ice all over the place Pasadena.
Crazy raids happening, pulling people out of restaurants, pulling people
off of construction site, just leaving their bags behind, just
grabbing them walking. And it's the restaurant right in the middle
of taking no order, you know, and and and carting
(20:04):
them away, putting them in these vehicles and carding them away. So, yes,
I understand, this is what this country voted for. This
country definitely wanted this. You know, you can't say that
you didn't know that this was going to happen. You
voted for Trump. This is what he promised and he's
doing it. Uh. And it's the law my air quote
fingers here. You know, it's it's cruel, it's any human
(20:28):
and it should not be done. But no laws per
se are being broken except for the law of just
the human conscious and what is decent and what is right? Right,
you know, I don't think I'm wrong on that. I
think that that's a fair assessment. I mean, hell, uh
today alone, Julio Uh, Caesar Savas Junior, he just boxed
(20:50):
just just just the other day. He got to uh
the he was the dude who fought Jake Paul Yep
like literally got Jake Paul into actual as certified boxing match.
You know, he made Jake Paul official. He literally and
he's a known boxer, he's been boxing forever. Right here.
They came and scooped him up, you know, labeled him
(21:10):
a drug meal or whatever. He's involved in this, that
and the other. It's like, okay, sure he is, sure
he is. They came and grabbed him. I mean, if
you're coming up and grabbing known people, you know, in
the light of the day, yeah, I can understand. Okay,
And this is where I'm going with this. I can
(21:30):
understand why so many events here in the Southland, so
many events that if you're really being honest with yourself,
you know, the majority of the people that are attending
these events are the people who are being persecuted and
(21:50):
hunted down and grabbed in the dark of the night
and having doors blown off and all that. These are
the individuals, the families who would likely be going out
to some of these events. And so if you're a
city manager and you know, cut a Hay or wherever,
and you're thinking to yourself, hey, man, Ice is literally
rolling around our neighborhoods Now, why then would you also
(22:12):
have an event for your constituents to possibly get taken.
Not to say that that's what ICE is doing. They
may have the day off tomorrow. We don't know what
these agents are doing. We don't know who they are.
We don't know what they're doing. They could actually be firefighters,
or doctors or bankers for all we know. We have
no idea who these people actually are, right, we don't
know if they're actually officers can identify any of them.
(22:33):
So if I'm the manager of a city, I'm not
then also going to have an event that targets people
and puts people in danger. Just that's just a know,
just just to know so I can understand why so
many events are canceled. Even though you know, I'm sure
you'll be reaching out to me on mo Kelly's Instagram
(22:56):
at mister mo Kelly or maybe on mo Kelly's He
has another one. I don't think he does. He doesn't
do X anymore. He has another admster Moken. I think
it's Facebook. You'll probably hit me there and tell me
you know my comments are Unamerican or not doing an
event in light of all this is an American even
(23:17):
though you know these events are getting iced out. It's
not my fault. Okay, Ice is doing this, not me.
I'm not out there shutting these events now. I'm just
telling you what's happening, right, So I'm just just trying
to put some context on it. So I think that
there's nothing wrong with with seeing it in that way.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Well, if we can sum up what the main objection
to this appears to be, it's that we were told
Ice was going to go after the hardened criminals instead
of just your neighbors who weren't doing anything.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, going to actual work, you know, trying to make
a living, trying to make this place where we live better. Right,
But no, if they want to make it better, going
and do it the right way.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Do you know how long it takes to get past
the muck and meyer of becoming a citizen.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Maybe you don't. Maybe that's why you think it's just
a snapup of things. You just go down there on
a Tuesday and you're a citizen on Wednesday. It doesn't
work like that. There are people who have been waiting
ten years to get through this mucke and meyer. How
about we have Ice go down there and start working
in some of the booths and some of the lines
and all that to help customer service and flow better.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Well, that's one of the other major complaints that I've
seen people having, which is that the people who are
going to court and trying to do things the right
way are still getting busted and disappeared.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, well there's that. There's also that. So this is
just a bunch of unjust activity, which is why events
like the Fourth of July festivities in Boyle Heights, El
Sereno and Lincoln Heights and Northeast Los Angeles, sponsored by
the Los Angeles City council member Yarido, they have been
(24:58):
poston Ease. Decisions have been made after the council member
heard from neighborhood advocates and community leaders across the district,
and a new date for the event's not available. Maybe
they'll do it on the ninth, That's what I'm saying.
Maybe they'll do it on the ninth. Hey, hey, yes,
a belle all right, council member, you might want them
(25:20):
to it on the ninth. The city of cut A Hay,
of course, we know we've been talked about that one.
They have postponed. It's Independence Day celebration that was set
for today and they said, nah, man, we're good. We're
good on doing anything. The City of Bell Gardens announced
on Instagram that the counselation of two movie events scheduled
for the twenty sixth and the tenth that were part
(25:42):
of their Summer Night series at Bell Gardens Veterans Park.
They've been canceled. No, no, nope, not avenue coming out
a night, get snatched up trying to watch a movie.
The City of Huntington Park, they post on Facebook that
their Independence Day celebration planned for today would be canceled.
It's unknown if they're going to reschedule, but Huntington Park,
(26:04):
there's the ninth celebrate. The ninth a July fourth Freedom
Walk was postponed in the city of Whittier. According to
the city's Facebook posts, a fireworks show will still be
held later that day. Don't know who's going. Don't know
who's going, but the Whittier's mayor, Joe Vantineri is saying, yes,
(26:29):
we still have to have the firework show. LA County
Department of Parks and Recreations announced that the East La
Rocking Fourth of July celebrations postponed and they are prioritizing
the safety of residents, visitors, and staff following whose activity
(26:49):
ICE is activity. So there's that. So this is kind
of the why because I've been seeing a lot of
questions and comments when we've talked about these events being
canceled a so like, why are they canceling these events?
It's un American? And it's really because people are scared. Man.
People are literally they are scared. They're not going to work.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
There are farms in Ventura County that were produced is
just rotting on the vine.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
They're literally unable to go to work. They're scared. They
do not want to get snatched up just trying to
go and make a living. That's not what they want.
And I get I already hear you. I already hear
you reaching out at mister mo Kelly on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Twala you filthy blank and blink and blank. How about you?
I get it. I get it. Okay, boo on me
for telling you a bit of hard truth about why
you're not going to be getting a fireworks show in
cut Hay.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
All right, but it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's not the City of cut A Haye's fault for
trying to protect its constituents, and it's people all right,
facts are facts, all right, you want to be mad
at someone, maybe ICE will hold some firework shows in
some parking lots. Maybe they'll hold a firework show and
one of their tention centers, so if they're not doing
much else for anyone there. All right, it's KFI AM

Speaker 1 (28:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
This KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the ipard
radio app. This is to Wallace Sharp filling in for
Mo Kelly. All Right, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Right, you're killing it at you're killing it. Good job,
all right there, you know this is my phone is
started buzzing. I wonder if that's hate hate being sent
in my way. I'll send you some cat videos here.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Ah, I appreciate it. Did you see the cat video?
Said you, Loueli.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yes, yes, dude, yes, absolutely. Do people know that we
do this pretty much every day? I don't know, but
it's a real thing. It's not just for the show.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It's like literally, I will be sitting and I will
see a cat video that will have me cracking up.
Lot the one I sent you today. I was over
there dying with the cat talking to this dog about
going sharing too much, and I'm like, oh my godness,
Mark's got to see this. Mark has got to see
this because the reactions of the cats and what they do.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yeah, I played that for the long suffering one and
she cracked up too, And I should tell you, and
I hate to admit this. She likes your voice probably
better than mine, which is maybe gonna cost some friction
at home.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
There's look, there's gonna be no friction. Mark, come out.
Y'all got cat videos going back and forth? What do
you want to be in on the cat I need? Okay, okay,
all right, you're you're you're included in tagged moving forward.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Good serve cat videos, dog videos bring them in. I'm
all about it.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Then, careful what you ask for, though, because it's relentless. Yeah,
it's it's it's literally it's a damn near daily thing.
It's like because I'm constantly looking for more videos. It's
like they bring me so much joy.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
There's something about just cats being cats and just just
the way they do what they do dogs and just
their innocent doghood. I love it. I never could understand
why people would do cruel things to animals, especially around
Fourth of July. And now, I grew up in a
neighborhood where, you know, I prayed cats didn't come into the neighborhoods.
You know, our friends who would get fireworks and tie
(30:30):
them around a cat just to watch them run and
watch the fireworks, you know, going off. And it's just
so I think that's that's where I really really just
started caring more and more about animals, just because you know,
I just saw animal cruelty growing up. And I'm just
like you six sons of.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I can't be responsible for what I would do if
I saw a person do something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, nowadays you know, you know, pow dropping into the ground.
You know it was a kid. You know, it's older guys,
you know they watch this. I'm like, I don't want
to watch this. Stand here and watch this. It okay,
all right, I see it's gonna be violence hitting my
way if I don't watch this act of animal cruelty.
And really and truly it look, there is a link
between animal cruelty and murder. I do know that.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
That's allegedly how serial killers get their start, is by
sadism toward animals.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I've literally no idea where we
got here or how we got here. I was actually
gonna ask you, Mark, do you have any fond memories
of Fourth of July?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Well, you know, we're talking about setting houses on fire
with the boneheads who have illegal fireworks. My main memory
that was burned into my brain is every Fourth early
in the day, my grandpa would be outside hosing off
the roof of the house because he knew somebody was
going to do something stupid. And then the neighbor, my
best friend neighbor's dad was always the one, the adult
(31:55):
in the neighborhood who set off the fireworks in the
middle of the street. Nobody else was allowed to touch them.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Nice. I love it. What about you, Sam? Best memory?
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I have a Fourth of July next aside from all
the fun kid memories going to catch fireworks and stuff
like that, I was in San Diego about twenty twenty
two years ago and they, you know, I lived in
an apartment complex that overlooked the Bay Area. Love San Diego, yah,
and they usually Fourth of July have a huge fireworks
show going on, and on that night everything went off
(32:29):
at the same time. All the fireworks went off like
it was supposed to be like a fifteen to twenty
minute long fireworks show, and it lasted about thirty seconds
because all of the fireworks went off at once, and
it was amazing watching awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That had to be absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I mean, you know, that was like like you could
see like the dawn's early light and bombs in the air.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
It was amazing. Nice. Yeah, I know you have your
soner with you ever doing stuff with him? You take
him to see me fireworks?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Oh yeah, yeah with fireworks. We're gonna go tomorrow here
in Burbank. There's a show over here at just on
the hill over here in Burbank. Nice, And one of
my friends lives close by, so we're going over to
his house and watching from his backyard.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Nice. I love it. I love it. My daughter. While
we wearing break, my daughter just called me to find
out what time I was gonna come and pick her
and her friend up, because you know, this is the
first time she's really like, ooh, I don't really have
any plans, but you know what I really really really
willing to do. I want to go to ch Hadateau
Le mel that's what I want to do. So I'm like, okay, cool,
(33:32):
very interesting, Yes, she this time wants to go with me. Well,
my son who typically goes and had a ball last year.
I mean that last year was like you know him
is when he kind of came and he was like
eighteens hitting that age, and so he was kind of
like hanging with mo sons and they just had a ball.
They went out in the streets to see hood fireworks
(33:54):
and he was like, man, Daddy, I don't think I've
ever had that much fun on Fourth of July. Maybe
it's just Fourth of July freedom. So I thought he
was definitely gonna go with us today because it's gonna
be a bunch of young people there this year. This year,
mos like t we're being overrun by young people. They're
all coming, they're all bringing the significant other. It's a
bunch of young people. I know, Tiffany Hobbs is coming
(34:17):
and heard and the fiance every going and they're bringing
their kids and everyone's bringing the kids. So yeah, so
I was just talking to her. But yeah, for the
longest we've always gone to at least I've taken them
to some firework thing or something or another. I remember
not last year, it was maybe a couple of years ago.
We went out and were standing on the street on
(34:38):
far Oaks and we were trying to see if we
could see the Rose Bowl show like this before they
lowered it. And the kids are young, and to your point, Mark,
all of a sudden, the fireworks shows are going off
and neighborhood fireworks are going off, and we're standing out
there on fara Oaks looking at the fireworks in the distance,
and all of a sudden, coyote comes running up the
(34:59):
street and the kids are freaking out. They're like, what
is that running at us? And it's a coyote running
for its life. It's scared off.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
It runs by us and looks at us like what
is it kind of like pauses and like stops next
to us for a second, and then they go off
again and it just takes off, you know, further up
the hill. Well, you know, to all of the Traditionally,
coyotes are absolutely terrified of explosive ACME products. Damn it, Mark,
(35:30):
I mean it's in their DNA.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
And then you especially don't want to break out the
rocket skates.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh my god, it's just cruel.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I should have when they discovered gravity just shortly after
they've stepped off a cliff.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
No point, No, oh my god, Oh Mark, I don't
know what you're doing right now. It's hilarious. Trying to
keep you at back up here, it's hilarious. Yeah, it's
for me, it's you know. I've been looking forward to
(36:16):
this day, uh if only for one reason, only because
I know how much fun we're going to have and
mods and what that celebration is going to be on
be like, we will be doing some live something. There
will be some live be it on Instagram. I know
we are supposed to be world premiering our TikTok channel,
(36:37):
which is weird because Mo and I really we don't
tick or talk. That's not what we do. But we
have young Carnesia with us, and she ticks and talks
and all that. So I think she'll be launching or
debuting world premiering the TikTok. So you will be seeing
some TikTok video courtesy of later with you will be
(36:57):
able to see some things that are happening the company.
I think Jackie Ray is coming through. Super producer Kayla
will be there. I think Canna from Gary and Shannon
will be there. I know Fork report Niels Vager was
going to come, but he's got family commitments so he
can't make it. But you know what, you never know
who's gonna make it. Hell, Mark Roner may get off
(37:20):
in time to come through and get a play, or
you know what, Mark or or or I may just
walk off the job and drop by. No. No, And
I didn't even think about this because this year I'm
trying to think. Will I'll be going past here to
go home. I might be coming past here. I might
(37:41):
be I might make my way past this area. Don't
tease me, do you? No, No, I have to think
about I have to think about I may be able
to bring you a play. You're teaching me with food.
I know I may. I'm not saying that this is happening.
I'm just thinking because before typically I would be going
to Alta Dina. There's no way I'm making a detour
all the way here and then going out to Dina
and I can just go straight to Oulta Dina.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah, but now you put it out there and it's
officially a food tease. Is a food teas I think
you guys most get enough juice. He should have a
musical act tomorrow. What's what's going on with that?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Um?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Maybe he'll do some karaoke karaokes. Yeah, Oh I'm in
if he's doing that, I need to come by.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
If it's karaoke at an anywhere party or a barbecue karaoke,
Oh it's on.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I'll sing it to a drumstick. I don't care. Oh snap, Okay,
now I gotta I gotta text him because that sounds
like fire. That sounds like absolute fire. Okay, we may
have to make that happen officially, Sam and I may
have to make this plate happen. Mark. It's KFI AM

Speaker 2 (00:18):
KFI AM six forty five everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Later with Mo Kelly. You're truly Twalla Sharp
filling in for Mo with a look at Let's start
with some places where you actually can go and watch
some fireworks. I know, all week we've been talking about
(00:41):
all the cancelations, and I've got some cancelations coming up
for you, all right, but let's first talk about the
celebratory nature of the ninth of July that's taking place
on the fourth. In Los Angeles County, Marina del Rey,
(01:01):
They're having their annual show scheduled tomorrow at nine pm
in Guardena at Raley Park from five to ten, food trucks,
live music, kid activities, in a fireworks show beginning at nine.
In Eagle Rock, there will be community events with live
music and a fireworks show at eight forty five in
(01:24):
Woodland Hills at Warner Center Park Bob Bloomfield's Firework Extravaganza
that begins at dusk with an annual display, live vendors,
live music, all of that porta ranch over at Shepherd's
Church there will actually be a July spectacular that will
take place at their Rinaldi Street location Dodger Stadium. Of course,
(01:50):
they will have their post game firework special tomorrow and
the Hollywood Bawl. Yes, you know, the Hollywood Bowl is
no stranger to getting down with a massive fireworks spectacular,
and tomorrow's no different. Seven thirty pm. Earth Wind and
Fire will be headlining three nights of concerts capped with
(02:13):
fireworks happening appropriately on July second, is when the first
one happened tonight and tomorrow on the fourth. All these
shows start at seven point thirty and Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
I did not know that this was such a happening
place until my son went there for a concert and
just talked about how fantastic the concert was. And know,
(02:36):
people go here and they do movies and all types
of events happening where people are partying amongst the dead
because it is an actual cemetery. It's not just called
the Hollywood Cemetery, it's other cemetery, and people are partying
with you know, famous dead people. That's who's in the
ground there.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, they are having or they are showing top gun
plus fireworks so you're getting gun you know, racing too
the danger zone and you're getting fireworks and the dead
and the dead and the dead.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm sure you know I mean to be. This is
not my thing. It's not my thing, not a thing,
even though okay, all right, quick detour back in the
day living in it out to Dina. The street that
we lived on was like kind of cut right out
of a cemetery, right so the cemetery right up there
on far Oaks, I said, woodlawns. And every Halloween it's
(03:36):
always fogging out to Dean for some reason. Another we
used to go and hop the wall and run around
in the cemetery and you know, try to scare each other,
and you know, see who gets scared. And it was
always like last one out was like you know, your
g that was the price. You're just like you thought
you're the man, You're the last one out.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, we did a little bit of that too, and
one of my friends locked me in a tomb.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I understand a lot about you now. That says a
whole lot about your sache. That sounds like you had
some trauma behind it. There's a lot trauma into art.
I used it for a story for DC a few
years ago. There Cool Locked in a tune. All right, Okay,
there you go, tomb Raid or Mark in the South
Bay Rodondo Beach Seaside Lagoon, they're having their shindig from
(04:21):
two to nine pm live music, food and fireworks over
Kington Harbor and nine pm. Tickets are required to that one.
A lot of these are free, A lot of these
have been mentioned. Just you just go out there and
check them out. Torrents at the Civic Center, gates will
open at four pm with music and fireworks at nine.
All that's free with the ticket. Sure, I think the
(04:42):
ticket implies that maybe it's not free, or maybe just
go there, give me a ticket so then they can
verify that you're there. Demand entry, just demandatry Yes, El
Segundo at the Recreation Park ten am to nine pm,
family games, live music and fireworks. But at nine, I
mean right now it's eight o'clock. I mean, is it
(05:03):
gonna get that much darker? I don't know. This nine
o'clock is kind of early for fireworks, but hey, this
is what they want to do on Long Beach. Big
Bang on the Bay Block party and fireworks happening from
five to eight thirty pm. Now never mind, scratched that one.
That one's happening right now. What's it called. It's a
(05:25):
big Bang on the Bay? Is this one of these
diddy freakofs? It does kind of sound a little freaky. Huh, Yeah,
it's a big bang on the bay. That's a little freaky.
That's a little freaky. But I mean you may look
if you are over in the area, you got like
thirty minutes to get over there because there's gonna be
a fireworks and flyover, barbecue everything. It's happening right now.
But just you know, it's going to like, you know,
(05:47):
eight thirty pm. So so don't go to that, all right,
scratch that one off the lists, all right. But the
waterfront that is tomorrow the Waterfront Fireworks public viewing from
at nine pm. Fireworks are visible from the shoreline village,
Marina Green and Lion's Lighthouse. Nice. Nice, And of course
there's the Queen Mary Fourth of July party, and this
(06:10):
is a decades party where they're not just having fireworks
in all types of food, but on every deck they're
representing a different decade, you know, the Swing era, the
Rolling twenties or whatever. It's just a bunch of errors,
all right, And every area you're supposed to come dressed
(06:30):
up and celebrate fireworks on all the decks.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So is there a deck with a bunch of Cosby
sweaters for the eighties the eighties?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That might be bee boy gear. I think maybe i'd
show up in some brundiam C gear. Okay, ill you know,
in Adida sweatsuit with my shelter Adidas. I'll do that.
I think you should wear that to work anyway. I mean, look,
it is fresh, it's very fresh. It is fresh. Harbor Cruises.
There's the Harbor Breeze Cruise, YEP cruise around from starting
(07:01):
the little Crew starts at seven and you'll be catching
fireworks on that Aquarium of the Pacific Aquarium of the
Pacific rooftop barbecue and fireworks twelve to two pm. That
seems counterintuitive. Who in the hell is having fireworks from
twelve to two pm? That is suspicious. That's very suspicious.
(07:21):
Maybe you're just going for the barbecue, but why put
fireworks if your event is tomorrow from twelve to two
that's just I don't even understand why they're advertising that. Yeah,
someone needs to look at this just say, come through
and have some barbecue. I don't know. Hotel Maya they're
having a pull side barbecue and that's just a pulside barbecue.
(07:41):
They just want you to come there and see they're
being honest. It's just barbecue. From eleven to three, all right,
and Fairmont Breakers, Halo Rooftop Party and DJ Cocktail, Skyline
Fireworks view all that good stuff. I've gotten more. I
got a few more I want to share, and I'm
gonna say these to the other side of the breaks.
(08:01):
I also want to talk about Pasadena and how they
are joining this new revolution in fireworks shows, and I
want to tell you all about that. So don't you
go nowhere, keep it right here.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
KFI AM six Footy Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
to Wild the Shark in for Mo Kelly. Later with Mo.
Mo was out getting the chateau all together and ready
for this cavalcade of guests that will be coming in
to his place to celebrate in the best ways possible.
(08:57):
The bake off will be in full effect. We'll streaming
the Bakeoff live. No I will not be entering this year,
did not have a kitchen in which to set my
baking of blaze this year, so no, I have to
sit back in and just enjoy the food. I know
Carnesia are cast member and social media manager and chat
(09:22):
manager is bringing ooey gooey ooie wee cake some something
from Nolins, and I look, I just look forward to
the festivities and really the sounds of what I call
bea root because it sounds like just a war zone.
And I'm not trying to make light of war zones,
(09:43):
but it's actual ordinance that's going off out there. It
does not sound like just firecrackers and wizzards and bangers. No,
it is just actual bombs going off. These things are
going off, and car alarms are are are just the
entire block. Because you hear you fill it when some
(10:05):
of these things go off, it's just boom.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And you're like, that was not a damn firecracker. Pets
love that, by the way, Oh they do. Oh they do.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All the ones who get lost and run away and
end up at the shelters and are never picked up,
they love it. Mark They absolutely do. More on pet
care in a minute, but first Let's look at some
places that are having some more fireworks celebrations. In Orange County,
Huntington Beach, the Surf City Celebration is going down five
(10:35):
k run at seven am, a parade at ten am,
live music, Beach Festival, and fireworks at nine. Irvine at
the Great Park Family Festival four to nine thirty pm, games,
food and a drone plus fireworks finale. Ooh, I like that.
I like the sound of that. In Fullerton, the Firework
(10:56):
Festival is happening from five to nine thirty pm, held
at Fullerton Union High School Stadium. San Juan Capistrano at
Sports Park, there's a carnival and fireworks. Nice. They'll have rides,
live music, firework finale. Coasta Mesa at the o C
Fair and Event Center there is the Community Festival that
(11:19):
is happening from five to eleven pm. Gates open at four,
fireworks at nine thirty. Anaheim Hills Full Day Celebrations Full
Day seven am to nine pm. Firecracker Run dog Show.
So you're bringing dogs off to this? Okay, I'm s
armorm so I said. Firework run, dog show, parade, festival
(11:40):
and fireworks dog show. Why you gotta do that to
the dogs. I don't know, it's fireworks, man. Let the
dogs be in Awhi are the dogs Anaheim Hills. You
all are tripping bring your dogs out for this and
you have the dogs after the firecracker run, So first
you scare the Holy but Jesus out of them and
then you make them parade around. You're asking for some
(12:01):
dog PTSD man, I would rethink that one. Anaheim Hills.
I don't know. I don't know. Newport Beach, Yep, there
is a firework cruise that is happening, and Santa Ana
at Centennial Park. There is of course more firework festivities.
But the thing that I really wanted to talk about,
(12:21):
a thing that I think I'm probably most excited even
though I'm not going, is what they're doing at the
Rose Bowl. Now. Being from Pasadena, the Rose Bowl Firework
Spectacular is almost second to none. I mean, this event
that they used to do at the Rose Bowl, it
was absolutely just studing, just a NonStop barrage of some
(12:45):
of the most beautiful firework art that you've ever seen.
I mean, this thing could rival Disneyland. It was just
that amazing, really really really now. Growing up as a kid,
we didn't always have tickets to go. But back in
the day, fires would shoot all the way up in
the air above the above the bowl, and you can
at least see like the finale, and you could go
(13:06):
and just find a spot and park along you know,
the hills, and just sit and watch the fireworks. Even
sometimes on a really clear night, we could get on
my neighbor who lived across the street. We could get
on his roof and just see straight down to the
Rose bul like just like just no, you know, no
blockers in our feet. Then the Rose Bowl started saying,
(13:30):
wait a minute, a bunch of freeloaders are watching our show.
Even got people tailgating in the parking lot. They don't
want to pay to get in, So then they started
trying to lower the fireworks so that they're only in
the bowl. That was whack.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, next you'll have people expecting healthcare. You can't just
let them look at your fireworks for nothing. I mean,
you know, why take care of the people.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Why?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Mark, I gotta tell you though, like a patriotic American,
I'm pleased to watch things blowing up, but nothing makes
me feel more like one of the chimps from two
thousand and one, A Space Odyssey, then looking up at
fireworks on the fourth.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Of July going uh, look at that.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yes, yes, especially when they really do something spectacular.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Oh, Mark, I wish you could come tomorrow. Oh how
I wish? Oh I will, well, I'll look on your
Instagram page. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
They will be just like being there, except I won't
get any of the fun food.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And I won't get to see you in what your
American flag speedo or whatever you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I will probably get a red, white and blue shirt
or something. Maybe I'll find a really cool Captain America shirt. Yeah. See,
now you're talking. So that's what I typically don't find
a nice Captain America shirt.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Bring bring comics into the holiday. That makes them all better.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Hey, cap punch Hitler And that's how much more patriotic
can you get? Your damn Righty did knock him the
hell out at the Pasadena though. What they're doing now, though,
they're moving away from Firewars all together, and they're moving
into doing a drone show. And I think that this
is absolutely stunning the first time I saw like a
(15:01):
really really cool drone show and it was just on TV.
It was when I was watching America's Got Talent one
night and they did this show in the air and
they did all these characters and all this movement and
it was just drones, and I was like, that was
absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Those are incredible And it baffles me how they coordinate
those with whatever AI they have.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It's sick. It's it's crazy. Because then you get fast
forward Comic Con last year when they announced the Fantastic
Four and they did that insane drone show where the
end the drones formed a big four in the air
and then Galactus came up out of nowhere. It was just, yes,
it was crazy, all with drones. It was a whole
(15:45):
animated scene. And then they did all the characters. It
was crazy, absolutely crazy with drones. Just think dogs, cats, birds,
all of your pets will not be freaking out. All
of our soldiers who we say we care so much
about soldiers who were returning home with severe PTSD. We
(16:07):
are here this home of the Brave, We care about
our soldiers, We honor our soldiers, yet we take them
back to the horrors of war on the fourth that's
also crazy to me that that's just like wow. Then
we have idiots out here who are shooting their guns
in the air for some reason, they don't understand these
bullets coming back down that that's just that's beyond them
(16:28):
to see. They're not shooting into the ground, They're shooting
into the air, all right. And then there are people
who are just the trauma of hearing fireworks. I know
she probably doesn't want me to put this out there,
but my co parent she lost her father to gunfire,
and when I first met her, I wanted to take
her to the Rose bull like, oh, babe, babe, we're
going to the Rose, but I'm gonna show you this,
(16:48):
and she wouldn't. She had. It took her a minute
to tell me why she couldn't because she didn't want
to like relive them. But she was like, dude, like,
I cannot be around fireworks. I have never never in
our in our life, forget. I've never gotten her to
come to Moe's nothing. She's like, ooh, thanks for the invite,
but no, no, she's not down fireworks. So I think
about people like that. So when I hear that the
(17:10):
Rosebu's doing this drone show, that's something I really want
to see and I hope more, more cities, more states
adopt drones and leave these fireworks just just in the past.
Especially here in southern California. We've got you know, the
second largest fire in the history of California burning, uh,
you know, just up to one oh one right now.
(17:32):
Altadiva still has not recovered from a massive fire. And
it's really really dry right now. I know, you may
think we got a little rain. We did. We didn't
get enough rain to account for some idiot up in
some hill or some park or somewhere where it's dry,
lighting up some fireworks and setting something on fire, not
just blowing up your house or blowing your fingers off,
(17:52):
burning down your community. These are things that can happen
right now what you're playing with your fireworks. So yeah, drones,
that's the way to go. Trones shows. I know we
can't do anything about you know, Yahoo's in the hood,
but whatever, whatever, they're gonna do. What they're gonna do.
Patrones Man Thrones in the future.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Later with Moe Kelly to Wailer Sharp filling
in for moen Mark, got a question for you. Do
you know what has been going on this fourth of
July week?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Can you give me a little more to go on there?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Ice raids?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yes, that yes, ice raids. It's gotten to the point
where now LAPD is being overwhelmed with calls regarding kidnappings
because you got these individuals rolling up in unmarked cars
with no real recognizable identity, mass On just pulling up,
(19:13):
grabbing women, grabbing kids, grabbing just you know what I mean,
how do we know? Right?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's the theory that's out there. That's because it's really
it's true. It's like, you know, a bunch of guys
roll upon you with mass on, you roll upon me
with a bunch of mass On. I'm thinking to myself,
this is a jack move. Well, there have been reported
some incidents of people who weren't with ICE trying to
do stuff, passing themselves off in those kind of outfits. Yeah,
and when you've got officers who won't identify themselves and
(19:39):
don't have a traditional uniform, you're going to get that.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're going to get that every single time. And this
week it has just been ice all over the place Pasadena.
Crazy raids happening, pulling people out of restaurants, pulling people
off of construction site, just leaving their bags behind, just
grabbing them walking. And it's the restaurant right in the middle
of taking no order, you know, and and and carting
(20:04):
them away, putting them in these vehicles and carding them away. So, yes,
I understand, this is what this country voted for. This
country definitely wanted this. You know, you can't say that
you didn't know that this was going to happen. You
voted for Trump. This is what he promised and he's
doing it. Uh. And it's the law my air quote
fingers here. You know, it's it's cruel, it's any human
(20:28):
and it should not be done. But no laws per
se are being broken except for the law of just
the human conscious and what is decent and what is right? Right,
you know, I don't think I'm wrong on that. I
think that that's a fair assessment. I mean, hell, uh
today alone, Julio Uh, Caesar Savas Junior, he just boxed
(20:50):
just just just the other day. He got to uh
the he was the dude who fought Jake Paul Yep
like literally got Jake Paul into actual as certified boxing match.
You know, he made Jake Paul official. He literally and
he's a known boxer, he's been boxing forever. Right here.
They came and scooped him up, you know, labeled him
(21:10):
a drug meal or whatever. He's involved in this, that
and the other. It's like, okay, sure he is, sure
he is. They came and grabbed him. I mean, if
you're coming up and grabbing known people, you know, in
the light of the day, yeah, I can understand. Okay,
And this is where I'm going with this. I can
(21:30):
understand why so many events here in the Southland, so
many events that if you're really being honest with yourself,
you know, the majority of the people that are attending
these events are the people who are being persecuted and
(21:50):
hunted down and grabbed in the dark of the night
and having doors blown off and all that. These are
the individuals, the families who would likely be going out
to some of these events. And so if you're a
city manager and you know, cut a Hay or wherever,
and you're thinking to yourself, hey, man, Ice is literally
rolling around our neighborhoods Now, why then would you also
(22:12):
have an event for your constituents to possibly get taken.
Not to say that that's what ICE is doing. They
may have the day off tomorrow. We don't know what
these agents are doing. We don't know who they are.
We don't know what they're doing. They could actually be firefighters,
or doctors or bankers for all we know. We have
no idea who these people actually are, right, we don't
know if they're actually officers can identify any of them.
(22:33):
So if I'm the manager of a city, I'm not
then also going to have an event that targets people
and puts people in danger. Just that's just a know,
just just to know so I can understand why so
many events are canceled. Even though you know, I'm sure
you'll be reaching out to me on mo Kelly's Instagram
(22:56):
at mister mo Kelly or maybe on mo Kelly's He
has another one. I don't think he does. He doesn't
do X anymore. He has another admster Moken. I think
it's Facebook. You'll probably hit me there and tell me
you know my comments are Unamerican or not doing an
event in light of all this is an American even
(23:17):
though you know these events are getting iced out. It's
not my fault. Okay, Ice is doing this, not me.
I'm not out there shutting these events now. I'm just
telling you what's happening, right, So I'm just just trying
to put some context on it. So I think that
there's nothing wrong with with seeing it in that way.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Well, if we can sum up what the main objection
to this appears to be, it's that we were told
Ice was going to go after the hardened criminals instead
of just your neighbors who weren't doing anything.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, going to actual work, you know, trying to make
a living, trying to make this place where we live better. Right,
But no, if they want to make it better, going
and do it the right way.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Do you know how long it takes to get past
the muck and meyer of becoming a citizen.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Maybe you don't. Maybe that's why you think it's just
a snapup of things. You just go down there on
a Tuesday and you're a citizen on Wednesday. It doesn't
work like that. There are people who have been waiting
ten years to get through this mucke and meyer. How
about we have Ice go down there and start working
in some of the booths and some of the lines
and all that to help customer service and flow better.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Well, that's one of the other major complaints that I've
seen people having, which is that the people who are
going to court and trying to do things the right
way are still getting busted and disappeared.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah, well there's that. There's also that. So this is
just a bunch of unjust activity, which is why events
like the Fourth of July festivities in Boyle Heights, El
Sereno and Lincoln Heights and Northeast Los Angeles, sponsored by
the Los Angeles City council member Yarido, they have been
(24:58):
poston Ease. Decisions have been made after the council member
heard from neighborhood advocates and community leaders across the district,
and a new date for the event's not available. Maybe
they'll do it on the ninth, That's what I'm saying.
Maybe they'll do it on the ninth. Hey, hey, yes,
a belle all right, council member, you might want them
(25:20):
to it on the ninth. The city of cut A Hay,
of course, we know we've been talked about that one.
They have postponed. It's Independence Day celebration that was set
for today and they said, nah, man, we're good. We're
good on doing anything. The City of Bell Gardens announced
on Instagram that the counselation of two movie events scheduled
for the twenty sixth and the tenth that were part
(25:42):
of their Summer Night series at Bell Gardens Veterans Park.
They've been canceled. No, no, nope, not avenue coming out
a night, get snatched up trying to watch a movie.
The City of Huntington Park, they post on Facebook that
their Independence Day celebration planned for today would be canceled.
It's unknown if they're going to reschedule, but Huntington Park,
(26:04):
there's the ninth celebrate. The ninth a July fourth Freedom
Walk was postponed in the city of Whittier. According to
the city's Facebook posts, a fireworks show will still be
held later that day. Don't know who's going. Don't know
who's going, but the Whittier's mayor, Joe Vantineri is saying, yes,
(26:29):
we still have to have the firework show. LA County
Department of Parks and Recreations announced that the East La
Rocking Fourth of July celebrations postponed and they are prioritizing
the safety of residents, visitors, and staff following whose activity
(26:49):
ICE is activity. So there's that. So this is kind
of the why because I've been seeing a lot of
questions and comments when we've talked about these events being
canceled a so like, why are they canceling these events?
It's un American? And it's really because people are scared. Man.
People are literally they are scared. They're not going to work.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
There are farms in Ventura County that were produced is
just rotting on the vine.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
They're literally unable to go to work. They're scared. They
do not want to get snatched up just trying to
go and make a living. That's not what they want.
And I get I already hear you. I already hear
you reaching out at mister mo Kelly on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Twala you filthy blank and blink and blank. How about you?
I get it. I get it. Okay, boo on me
for telling you a bit of hard truth about why
you're not going to be getting a fireworks show in
cut Hay.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
All right, but it's not.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
It's not the City of cut A Haye's fault for
trying to protect its constituents, and it's people all right,
facts are facts, all right, you want to be mad
at someone, maybe ICE will hold some firework shows in
some parking lots. Maybe they'll hold a firework show and
one of their tention centers, so if they're not doing
much else for anyone there. All right, it's KFI AM
six forty Live everywhere on the Iart radio app.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
This KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the ipard
radio app. This is to Wallace Sharp filling in for
Mo Kelly. All Right, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Right, you're killing it at you're killing it. Good job,
all right there, you know this is my phone is
started buzzing. I wonder if that's hate hate being sent
in my way. I'll send you some cat videos here.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Ah, I appreciate it. Did you see the cat video?
Said you, Loueli.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yes, yes, dude, yes, absolutely. Do people know that we
do this pretty much every day? I don't know, but
it's a real thing. It's not just for the show.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It's like literally, I will be sitting and I will
see a cat video that will have me cracking up.
Lot the one I sent you today. I was over
there dying with the cat talking to this dog about
going sharing too much, and I'm like, oh my godness,
Mark's got to see this. Mark has got to see
this because the reactions of the cats and what they do.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yeah, I played that for the long suffering one and
she cracked up too, And I should tell you, and
I hate to admit this. She likes your voice probably
better than mine, which is maybe gonna cost some friction
at home.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
There's look, there's gonna be no friction. Mark, come out.
Y'all got cat videos going back and forth? What do
you want to be in on the cat I need? Okay, okay,
all right, you're you're you're included in tagged moving forward.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Good serve cat videos, dog videos bring them in. I'm
all about it.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
All right.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Then, careful what you ask for, though, because it's relentless. Yeah,
it's it's it's literally it's a damn near daily thing.
It's like because I'm constantly looking for more videos. It's
like they bring me so much joy.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
There's something about just cats being cats and just just
the way they do what they do dogs and just
their innocent doghood. I love it. I never could understand
why people would do cruel things to animals, especially around
Fourth of July. And now, I grew up in a
neighborhood where, you know, I prayed cats didn't come into the neighborhoods.
You know, our friends who would get fireworks and tie
(30:30):
them around a cat just to watch them run and
watch the fireworks, you know, going off. And it's just
so I think that's that's where I really really just
started caring more and more about animals, just because you know,
I just saw animal cruelty growing up. And I'm just
like you six sons of.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I can't be responsible for what I would do if
I saw a person do something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, nowadays you know, you know, pow dropping into the ground.
You know it was a kid. You know, it's older guys,
you know they watch this. I'm like, I don't want
to watch this. Stand here and watch this. It okay,
all right, I see it's gonna be violence hitting my
way if I don't watch this act of animal cruelty.
And really and truly it look, there is a link
between animal cruelty and murder. I do know that.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
That's allegedly how serial killers get their start, is by
sadism toward animals.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I've literally no idea where we
got here or how we got here. I was actually
gonna ask you, Mark, do you have any fond memories
of Fourth of July?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Well, you know, we're talking about setting houses on fire
with the boneheads who have illegal fireworks. My main memory
that was burned into my brain is every Fourth early
in the day, my grandpa would be outside hosing off
the roof of the house because he knew somebody was
going to do something stupid. And then the neighbor, my
best friend neighbor's dad was always the one, the adult
(31:55):
in the neighborhood who set off the fireworks in the
middle of the street. Nobody else was allowed to touch them.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Nice. I love it. What about you, Sam? Best memory?
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I have a Fourth of July next aside from all
the fun kid memories going to catch fireworks and stuff
like that, I was in San Diego about twenty twenty
two years ago and they, you know, I lived in
an apartment complex that overlooked the Bay Area. Love San Diego, yah,
and they usually Fourth of July have a huge fireworks
show going on, and on that night everything went off
(32:29):
at the same time. All the fireworks went off like
it was supposed to be like a fifteen to twenty
minute long fireworks show, and it lasted about thirty seconds
because all of the fireworks went off at once, and
it was amazing watching awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
That had to be absolutely incredible.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I mean, you know, that was like like you could
see like the dawn's early light and bombs in the air.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
It was amazing. Nice. Yeah, I know you have your
soner with you ever doing stuff with him? You take
him to see me fireworks?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Oh yeah, yeah with fireworks. We're gonna go tomorrow here
in Burbank. There's a show over here at just on
the hill over here in Burbank. Nice, And one of
my friends lives close by, so we're going over to
his house and watching from his backyard.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Nice. I love it. I love it. My daughter. While
we wearing break, my daughter just called me to find
out what time I was gonna come and pick her
and her friend up, because you know, this is the
first time she's really like, ooh, I don't really have
any plans, but you know what I really really really
willing to do. I want to go to ch Hadateau
Le mel that's what I want to do. So I'm like, okay, cool,
(33:32):
very interesting, Yes, she this time wants to go with me. Well,
my son who typically goes and had a ball last year.
I mean that last year was like you know him
is when he kind of came and he was like
eighteens hitting that age, and so he was kind of
like hanging with mo sons and they just had a ball.
They went out in the streets to see hood fireworks
(33:54):
and he was like, man, Daddy, I don't think I've
ever had that much fun on Fourth of July. Maybe
it's just Fourth of July freedom. So I thought he
was definitely gonna go with us today because it's gonna
be a bunch of young people there this year. This year,
mos like t we're being overrun by young people. They're
all coming, they're all bringing the significant other. It's a
bunch of young people. I know, Tiffany Hobbs is coming
(34:17):
and heard and the fiance every going and they're bringing
their kids and everyone's bringing the kids. So yeah, so
I was just talking to her. But yeah, for the
longest we've always gone to at least I've taken them
to some firework thing or something or another. I remember
not last year, it was maybe a couple of years ago.
We went out and were standing on the street on
(34:38):
far Oaks and we were trying to see if we
could see the Rose Bowl show like this before they
lowered it. And the kids are young, and to your point, Mark,
all of a sudden, the fireworks shows are going off
and neighborhood fireworks are going off, and we're standing out
there on fara Oaks looking at the fireworks in the distance,
and all of a sudden, coyote comes running up the
(34:59):
street and the kids are freaking out. They're like, what
is that running at us? And it's a coyote running
for its life. It's scared off.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
It runs by us and looks at us like what
is it kind of like pauses and like stops next
to us for a second, and then they go off
again and it just takes off, you know, further up
the hill. Well, you know, to all of the Traditionally,
coyotes are absolutely terrified of explosive ACME products. Damn it, Mark,
(35:30):
I mean it's in their DNA.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
And then you especially don't want to break out the
rocket skates.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Oh my god, it's just cruel.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I should have when they discovered gravity just shortly after
they've stepped off a cliff.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
No point, No, oh my god, Oh Mark, I don't
know what you're doing right now. It's hilarious. Trying to
keep you at back up here, it's hilarious. Yeah, it's
for me, it's you know. I've been looking forward to
(36:16):
this day, uh if only for one reason, only because
I know how much fun we're going to have and
mods and what that celebration is going to be on
be like, we will be doing some live something. There
will be some live be it on Instagram. I know
we are supposed to be world premiering our TikTok channel,
(36:37):
which is weird because Mo and I really we don't
tick or talk. That's not what we do. But we
have young Carnesia with us, and she ticks and talks
and all that. So I think she'll be launching or
debuting world premiering the TikTok. So you will be seeing
some TikTok video courtesy of later with you will be
(36:57):
able to see some things that are happening the company.
I think Jackie Ray is coming through. Super producer Kayla
will be there. I think Canna from Gary and Shannon
will be there. I know Fork report Niels Vager was
going to come, but he's got family commitments so he
can't make it. But you know what, you never know
who's gonna make it. Hell, Mark Roner may get off
(37:20):
in time to come through and get a play, or
you know what, Mark or or or I may just
walk off the job and drop by. No. No, And
I didn't even think about this because this year I'm
trying to think. Will I'll be going past here to
go home. I might be coming past here. I might
(37:41):
be I might make my way past this area. Don't
tease me, do you? No, No, I have to think
about I have to think about I may be able
to bring you a play. You're teaching me with food.
I know I may. I'm not saying that this is happening.
I'm just thinking because before typically I would be going
to Alta Dina. There's no way I'm making a detour
all the way here and then going out to Dina
and I can just go straight to Oulta Dina.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah, but now you put it out there and it's
officially a food tease. Is a food teas I think
you guys most get enough juice. He should have a
musical act tomorrow. What's what's going on with that?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Um?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Maybe he'll do some karaoke karaokes. Yeah, Oh I'm in
if he's doing that, I need to come by.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
If it's karaoke at an anywhere party or a barbecue karaoke,
Oh it's on.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I'll sing it to a drumstick. I don't care. Oh snap, Okay,
now I gotta I gotta text him because that sounds
like fire. That sounds like absolute fire. Okay, we may
have to make that happen officially, Sam and I may
have to make this plate happen. Mark. It's KFI AM
