Speaker 1 (00:22):
I think I got it figured out. I think I
got it.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
You know how it always seems like your weekend is
way too short, at least with mine. I think I
have found out why. I have finally figured out the
mystery of the universe. It's later with mo Kelly. We're
live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app. Here's what
I realized. I had this epiphany late Friday night, and

(00:46):
I thought about it all twenty five minutes of my
free time over the course of the weekend, and then.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It hit me.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
When I left out of here Friday night, it was
what time?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Ten thirty ish? Okay, Who's going to do something that
late on a Friday night? Probably not me. There are
those times we try to go to the movies, but
by and large, I'm not doing anything on a Friday night.
So the first night of the weekend is done. I'm
getting home maybe around eleven eleven thirty, then maybe watch

(01:17):
some TV, and I'm out like a light by twelve
thirty one o'clock. I get up at seven in the morning,
and then I teach three classes of hop keto, So
my Friday night is gone. I'm up Saturday early, and
then I'm into Saturday afternoon. So honestly, my whole weekend
has been relegated to one night. That's Saturday evening, maybe
Saturday afternoon, and then Saturday night. That's it because Sunday

(01:41):
it's all about preparing for Monday. I have things I
need to do for different outlets. I have to prepare
for my Spectrum news hit this morning, so that's always
done on Sunday. I have a syndicated audio commentary that
I send out I have to send out on Sunday,
so Sunday is pretty much a workday. Friday is a workday.
Saturday I have about six hours to play. So when

(02:02):
I finally wake up on Monday, I realize the weekend
really didn't exist. And I really can't complain because Twala
has even less time than me. Okay, but I'm selfish
like that. And Mark Runner, good evening. You always told
me it's always about me, So I want to lean
into that. Yeah, to start off tonight, and I realize
I don't have much of a week in I have

(02:22):
a day, just a day.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, we'll have a day.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
We all have stuff going on outside of work, I mean,
but you do chronically overbook yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I think we need some counseling for no.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
No, No, you are correct on that there are things
that I say yes to far too early, far too unnecessarily,
where it would be easier to just say no.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But at the time I do mean yes. I do
mean yes.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
And then I realized when it comes around no, I didn't.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I think you don't think you exist unless you're being
seen somewhere on some sort of media.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
No, that's really untrue.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
No, I get it because it's like when you say
as to a midnight screening a two week two weeks away. Yeah,
but when it gets to you're like, oh, I'm going
to a midnight screening.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Or like BBC will hit me earlier in day, like
twelve o'clock in the afternoon saying hey, can you do
this commentary? Can you come on after your show? And
at the time, yeah, I'm wide awaken everything in the middle.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Of my day. Sure, why not?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I can do it ten hours from now, and then
ten hours will pass and I've done a lot between
that time and the time of the commentary, and I
realized I should have said no.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Do you know how many things I've turned down because
I just don't feel like being up at that hour
of the morning. Like I I turned down Howard Stern
once because I didn't want to wake up early.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
But I talk about this whenever I give my public speeches,
because I don't feel anyone can outwork me. Part of
the reason why I've made some opportunities for myself over
the years is like BBC, no one wanted to do
it at two or three in the morning LA time,
which sometimes it is that late slash early, and so

(03:58):
since I was one of the few people who willing
to do it, they kept calling, and I felt obligated
because they kept calling, so I kept doing it. And
then after a certain point, you realize, I don't want
to do a political commentary or talk about what's going
on in America at two three in the morning on
a work night, after I've already had a very long day.

(04:19):
And then you realize, maybe you're saying yes too often.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Time to get lazier.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Follow my example, Maybe there's sometimes where I politely declined.
There there's sometimes that I will finally say no, but
more times than not, I'm not gonna say no because
I'm greedy like that. And then I realized I'm spent
Come Monday, you know there's a cost to every pardon me,
there's a cost to everything. Most yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll

(04:45):
be okay. I spiked his food. I'm trying to poison him,
that's all. What are you eating anyhow, I'm not eating anything.
I just forgot to take an allergy pill today. Oh okay,
my condolences. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's okay. I'm gonna come in and sit next to you.
You'll love it.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I appreciate that. We know that's not going to happen
because you hate people and you don't want anyone close
to you. Well, you busted me on that, Okay. Coming
up on the show tonight, since I said good evening
to Mark Runner, we have some good news and we
have some bad news. In the next segment, talking about
what's going on in Pasadena, Alta, Dina and the kids,

(05:19):
and we have any type of tragedy or any type
of disaster, sometimes we forget about the long term implications
of what it means for kids, kids in their education,
kids and their socialization, how they're dealing with it on
an emotional level.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
We'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
We'll talk about Loma Alta Park, which is reopened and
the contamination of soil at Pasadena schools, so literally thousands
of kids are going to be impacted. And at the
bottom of the hour, it's sometimes the news is meant
specifically for me. In this show, we have to tell
you about the man who was attacked by a coyote.

(05:56):
I said, a coyote and used his bear hands to
strangle it to death after he was attacked by a coyote.
And then we have to tell you about the unfortunate
story of a man who was murdered by bees.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
A bee attack.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Same show, same segment, we get to talk about coyotes
and bees.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
We need to kill them all. Murdered by bees, murders?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh what, how do the how did it could have
been involuntary manslaughter by the bees?

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean, what are you talking about. We don't know
what the man was doing. He was mowing along.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Oh that right there is is actually self defense.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Then were the bees? Were the bees in the grass?

Speaker 6 (06:39):
The beeple who are obviously in the grass, buzzing around
getting pollen from flowers that are low to the ground. No,
here he comes. Bees are like, hey man, we're trying
to get some pollen. Wait just wait once again, I
don't think they had that. Hey, hey, just hold on,

(07:00):
hold on, we have we have a little grouping here.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
We're gonna be out of your wave just a minute.
He was right, bees very move by way. I feel attacked,
me and mo Kelly. I feel like I'm being mocked.
I feel like I'm not getting any respect for the
fact that I don't like bees. Apophobia around bees.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
You know what I'm saying, You're you're you're literally maligning
these bees for being bees.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Definit's over there playing bee sound effects and laughing and
Twila is undermining my whole story about men dying by bees?
Did you know that people die in be attacks to
the tune of seventy two per year?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Seventy two per year?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
What you mean is only seventy two? Well it could
be I'm on the side of the bees. Well those
seventy two they had it coming. Yeah, oh what story it? Yeah? Yeah,
what were they wearing this?

Speaker 6 (07:49):
This bee hive is just too close to my house.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I'm going to get it down. Oh God Jesus now.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And that was that was the end of that. Why
is it the always get the benefit of the doubt.
They're the ones who are killing people.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
The bees are literally always minding their own business or not.
Bees are never actually looking for a fight.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
They know why they sing, they die, and they know
that why did they have stingers?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
They look obviously looking for a fight.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
Purely for self defense, and they can only use it once.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
You know what kind of commitment that is.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Sting I die. But this one right here, this one's
swatting me for no reason. Oh he's got a coming.
Yeah to Alla is one hundred percent correct on this one.
You don't see bees doing homes.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
You don't see bees, Robin seven eleven's you got to
go out of your way to mess with bees. So
if that's the case, you deserve whatever happens.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now. I'm not saying that people are better. I'm saying
I want the bees dead. I'm not saying that the
people are any better. Yes we are evil, Yes we
are killers. Yes we are murderers. But by the way,
kill all the bees.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Why.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
I hate to break this to you, but since we're
all connected, you of the scientists all say once the bees,
we're not far beyond.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know, it's going to destroy the eclogy. I mean,
there's some.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Middle ground of just not screwing with the bees. So
you don't have to get stung to death.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Or you can kill them all then we die. Well, okay,
sometimes you got to make hard choices. You see how
this is wrong. You see how wrong this is. No,
not at all, not at all making I think Ivan
Drago was right. He was right. And before we finished
off the hour speed cameras, they're coming to La. We
told you about this last year. Well they're just about here.

(09:31):
They'll be here next year, but we have more information
about what you'll have to do to avoid them, if
you can avoid them, and some of the penalties attached.
And tomorrow night I told you last week, but I
want you to remember. Tomorrow night, we're giving away Harry
Potter and the Cursed Child tickets to the Hollywood Pantagious Theater.

(09:51):
We're giving away not one, not two, but three pairs
of tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
That's going to be tomorrow night. And yes, you're gonna
have to watch the live video simulcast on YouTube. And
speaking of which, we're live right now on YouTube, we're
live right now on Instagram, and we're live everywhere the
iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we're going to talk
about Loma Alta Park and the Pasadena schools.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty KFI.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Mister mo Kelly, We're live on YouTube, live on iHeartRadio app,
and live on Instagram. Good news, bad news, We remember
or we should remember. Back to the pandemic. One of
the major discussion points was what was going to happen
to children because their normal routine had been basically eradicated.

(10:44):
They weren't going to school, they were not socializing, they
were not enjoying those relationships that you and I had
growing up dealing with other students, and I think that's
very important. I think most parents would tell you, most
teachers would tell you, when you had that disruption, it
harms their learning and it harms their growth and maturation

(11:05):
as kids. Something similar, I would say, happened in the
wake of the fires here in southern California, because you
had students who lost their homes, you had students who
lost their schools. You had students lost that routine of learning,
and then they suffered beyond just what we would have

(11:28):
thought that most people would have endured during the fires.
Some of that you can see is finally coming back.
That's how long this road is going to be. And
when I tell you about Altadida's little bo Alta Park
being reopened after months, it may be more symbolic for some,
but I believe that there is a substantive gain for

(11:50):
kids having that place to play, having that place to relax,
having that place to be with their friends. I know
a lot of folks who may not live in a
home situation, maybe they live in an apartment situation. Did
you have a park, a place to play, a place
to meet, and a place to resume those friendships.

Speaker 8 (12:11):
The sky's over Alta Dina may have been great today
with a sight of drizzle, but the smiles and laughter,
the joy at Loma Alta Park more than brighton the
day back.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
We can come to the park and play and be
with the neighbors and all the community, and it is amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
They love it.

Speaker 8 (12:28):
It was the grand reopening of the new and greatly
improved park, much of it destroyed and the Eton fire.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's the start of the new beginning for.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
Michael Ahmans and his boys Jude and Zaye, who lost
their home in the fire. Today was the start of
a new chapter.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Makes me you feel happy because more people are coming
together after the tragity, After the tragedy, we're.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
Just being here at the park, meaning today.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I don't know joy joy and bringing people together.

Speaker 8 (12:57):
From the specially designed gathering spaces for the adults, to
colorful murals, to two playgrounds, this one a three story
state of the art play structure, an inclusive one for
kids of all abilities, built with the help of a
multi million dollar grant from fire Aid the benefit concert.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Wait minute, wait a minute. That's good to know because
we talked about fire Aid. We talked about it for
a number of weeks, and sometimes it gets lost, like, well,
where does the money go? How do we know that
it's going to the places and the people that is
supposed to.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
There's an example right there. Now.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I didn't grow up with lom Aleta Park, but Twilly,
you know much better than I do.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Oh absolutely, I know Lomouta Park like the back of
my hand. This is our favorite park is This is
the park that have the swimming pool. And even though
we used to have to walk past alt to be
in a block crip to get there, we still did
because that was the park to go to.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
But but passive. That is actually important because people were
willing to go into dangerous situations just to get to.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
The park, just to get to the park. And because
of that, because of how kids just went to this park,
and this was a park where all neighborhoods in Altadena
would go because again it had the pool, the only
real pool in Altadena. There was an almost hands off
approach to a lot of the gangs in the areas,

(14:27):
so this was a safe park to go to and
from even fast forward to you know, two thousand and
now this park where my niece was taking tennis lessons.
This is a park where the farmers market was, the
Altadena Farmers Market. This is a park where so much
of the community came together, and to see it burned down,

(14:48):
it was like for a while, everyone in the community
was like, this is quite possibly one of the most
tragic losses for the city because this was a nucleus,
a meeting place rare for one. So to see it
come back, I looked at a lot of the live
stream and a lot of friends and family members were
up there and it was just a beautiful, beautiful time.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
What I noticed was, and you heard it in the piece,
how you had people who had lost their houses but
still brought their kids to the park because they knew
they'd be able to find their friends, they'd be able
to have some sense of normality.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
They and one of the children said joy.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
That was one of the expressions of that, because yes,
it's one thing as a child to lose your house,
and I know I can remember back when I was
a child thinking about that loss of security, that loss
of safety, that loss of stability.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
And what the house represents.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know that you're going to be okay, that you
have your toys, that you have a place to go
home to, and to be able to have just a
little bit of that come back in the park says
a lot only not only about the strength of the community,
but the importance of having that meeting place.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
That's the good news.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Unfortunately, there's also some not so good news about not
the exact same community, but still how it impacts children
as well.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
Nearly half of Pasadena's public schools have contaminated soil with
dangerous levels of lead, arsenic, even chromium. All this following
the eaton fire. Testing found lead more than three times
the state limit at some of those campuses.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
If they're finding that right now, we're going to be
talking about this story probably for years. We don't know
about what that is going to mean for kids in
those schools for the next five six years.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
We don't know, including spots where kids eat lunch and
enter school. Parents say they've been begging for testing for
months and accuse the district of downplaying the risks. The
district says affected areas will be restricted, cleanup will happen
over the summer, but for a lot of.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Families that's not enough.

Speaker 7 (16:54):
The full test results in school maps now posted on
Pasadena Unified's website.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
OK so, yes, let's say you have the cleanup over
the summer.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
You know that you still have these displaced students for
the foreseeable future.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
You tell me you're going to do the cleanup over
the summer.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I don't know, And this echoes a lot of the
complaints and concerns of the parents. I don't know if
it's actually going to be done to the level that
my satisfaction is a parent that I feel comfortable putting
my child back in that situation because I know schools,
school districts, it's all about getting kids back in schools.
Do they get funds from the state for having those

(17:33):
kids in schools? I don't know if the school district
can adequately balance their needs with the needs of the children.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
As a parent, I would be concerned.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
The problem with this is that from the beginning, no
one in the city has been upfront and honest about
the contamination of the soil after the fire. Originally, the
testing came back, Oh, the levels of lead, the levels
of A best those zinc control and stuff, it's minor

(18:03):
to non existent. And then La Times did a story
and they said, whoa, what were you looking at? Because
this ground is filled with this stuff, absolutely, just overwhelmingly so.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
And this is what led to the schools having the test.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
So my thing is, had the LA Time story not
come out, the expos on FEMA's alleged testing, had that
not come out, these kids would have been walking around
these campuses just just kicking this stuff up, getting it
on their shoes, getting it on their clothes, getting in
on their food. Then what then years from now we
would have had sick kids and it would have been like, oh,

(18:40):
my goodness, how they did though?

Speaker 2 (18:41):
What And you have to balance this about the desire
and the need to get back to where you were
before the fires, and that includes rebuilding homes, that includes
rebuilding schools and other structures. Like you want everyone back
as soon as possible, but these are some of the
other things which have to be addressed first. You can't
can't send kids back in the school and have them poisoned.

(19:03):
You can't rebuild on ground which is contaminated. And yes,
we want to get back to normal. We wanted that
more than anything, but we can't do that until it's
actually safe. And I don't need them to lie to you,
lie to me and endanger our children in the process
because we want to hurry up and get kids back

(19:24):
in school for the purpose of getting money from the state.
It's later with Mo Kelly k IF. I am six
forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. We're live on
YouTube and Instagram. And when we come back, we got
to tell you about the coyote and the bees and
they all need to die. At least the coyote die,
but the bees they gotta go. We'll tell you. Just
don't shake your head.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm shaking it.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Don't shake your head. You can tune in online now
and see me shake my head lives matter except Bee Live.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
You're being scolded.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's Later with mo Kelly if I am six forty.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app, We're live on YouTube,
and we're live on Instagram. And I talk about coyotes
from a very very serious vantage point. I talk about
them because I'm concerned about what they do in my neighborhood.
I see them every single day. They run up right

(20:26):
behind my house. My security cameras always see them. They
always record them, track their movements. They're way too close
to my two dogs. And I would do anything for them,
except maybe, you know, save them. A bunch of bees
should start singing them. They might catch it. Keep yeah,

(20:47):
you know, yeah. I probably would not be the person
to save them at that point. It'll have to be
their mom. But I I am serious when I say
about coyotes.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Kill them all.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
And I believe we have underestimated the amount of danger.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
When I say we talk about southern California.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
We pet them, we feed them, We act like they're
domesticated pets, and they are not that at all. And
when I came across this story kind of highlights my
point and maybe we're just too comfortable with them. But
there was the North Carolina man who was taken to
the hospital after authorities said he was bitten multiple times
by coyote. According to the man, he said that he

(21:27):
saw a coyote first following him and he tried to
run away from it. He did not engage the coyote.
While running away, the man fell, the coyote jumped on
him and started to bite him. The man fought with
the coyote, as the story goes, for about ten minutes,
and he was able to strangle it to death. There's

(21:48):
a picture and video of the coyote and the man
we're showing right now on YouTube. Don't laugh at the man.
He went through a harrowing experience.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
My goodness, is a bad dude.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
The man was taken to the hoste with multiple bite wounds,
and the coyote was tested for rabies, but we don't
know the results of that. But the bottom line is
this was a grown man. If you're watching us on YouTube,
I will guesstimate he's maybe at least six feet tall.
Six feet tall, and the coyote attacked him. Well, if

(22:19):
the coyote is going to attack a six foot grown man,
it's fair to say it's going to attack children, it's
going to attack other dogs, especially small dogs.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Interestingly enough, we only have his account of this. We
don't have the coyotes' account.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
So you think he just ran out the house and
decided to kill a coyote with his bare hands.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
You know, you know what, this could be some one
of these idiots who's like, you know what, I bet
I could take on the gorilla. He's out there, like,
get out of here. Coyote testing the coyote the code's
aker and he's like, I'm not afraid that.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
This is just not what animals attack. The coyote earned
his coyote.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
The coyote probably was like, hey man, I'm trying to
tell you man, don't don't run up on me. He
was like, I'm not a scared I'm not afraid of you.
All we know is it I ran jumped on my back.
They started, let's say the man ran up on a coyote.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Are you actually trying to argue that a man could
run faster than a coyote.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
There's no way, And why did he run in the
first place.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
But there's no way he was.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Gonna out run he was gonna outrun a coyote. But
he could possibly get to safety. But if the man
is chasing a coyote, he's not gonna chase that.

Speaker 6 (23:23):
He's not going anywhere. He was standing out there, trying
to test him.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
You mean standing his ground. He was out there. It's
north it's North Carolina. I'm pretty sure that's to stand
your ground stick.

Speaker 6 (23:33):
And you know he might have saying is we only
have one witness account.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, that's too bad.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm so glad that the I'm so glad that the
coyote is the one that died. Anyhow, in a less
it's this breaks my heart. A man has died in
a be attack despite trying to drive away from the bees.
Drive away a Texas man, Yeah, a Texas man was

(24:01):
killed by a swarm of bees after allegedly disturbing a
hive while mowing the lawn.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, I think I said exactly that, right.
I think I said exactly that he disturbed.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
The high that's not a death sentence. Oops.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Oh, I'm so sorry. If you disturb you doesn't mean
I get to shoot you if you try to come
into my house with the chainsaw. Are you telling me
I can't shoot you dead, because that's the exact same. Nope,
he came into the bees house with the no no, no chainsaw.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
No no no.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
The bees were not on the lawn. He was mowing
the lawn, not the flowers. He was disturbing the Stephen
Daniel was doing yardwork near an abandoned building when, according
to the story, he roused the bees.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
And was quickly overcome.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Daniel frantically jumped into his truck to get away, but
the bees followed him inside. Look, castle, castle, doctory you
can't chase people after they leave the house.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
It's he said, They said, I'm taking the bee's side.
Even makes sense.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
They followed him inside his truck and continued to sting
him until he crashed into another person's property.

Speaker 6 (25:06):
Okay, so one, what is he doing by this abandoned property?
Just mowing the lawn? Well, it's abandon no one lives
would the law. No, no, no, you know what he
was doing. He was out there trying to come up
on some free honey.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
He obviously thought he was gonna break into this nest
and get away.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Was mowing the lawn. He was not climbing the wall.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
He got handled those bees said take this, take this.
They jumped his punk ass and he died for it.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Officers immediately evacuated the driver from the area and placed
him inside the police vehicle a distance from the initial
attack to escape further bastings.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
How did they get into the truck? Do you have
his windows rolled down?

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Well, you have to imagine if you're opening the door
to the truck, they're gonna follow you in there.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh, it couldn't have been that many to follow me.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Oh according to this, yes, yes, officers requested in the
ambulance and the driver.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
While in the ambulance, uh, daniel the victim. Yes.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
The victim became unresponsive and stop breathing. Life saving measures
were administered and the driver was rushed to the local hospital,
where he succumbed to the effects of his beastings and
he was pronounced dead on arrival. And the CDC says
an average of seventy two Americans die every year from
b wasp and hornet stings. Seventy two okay six per.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
Min is a paltry number at best, that's more than
one a week, and I don't know. I mean, Mark,
maybe you see the flaws in this story that I do.
But this man, to me, sounds as if he went
looking for trouble. No one had told him to go
behind abandoned buildings.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
It's very suspicious hashtags. All lives matter, except for the bees.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
B lives. They're they're not lives, of course they're they're insects.
They're not like. They weren't bothering anybody. They weren't. They
weren'ting that guy.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
No, No, I want to see how do we know
that they were citizens?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I want to see some papers.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
The bees took out their little twers and I screwed that.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
The guy No, need to show that they were citizens,
and they show me your papers.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Yes, Africanized killer bees, Okay, these were not Africanized killer
bees migrated here without getting proper documents.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
How do you know we have to see their papers
to know.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
They probably already smoked them out?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Probably these are good old American bees practicing good old
American self defense against an intruder.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Castle doctrine does not extend beyond the boundaries of the property.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Be lives matter too. An attacks attack B Kung.

Speaker 6 (27:33):
Fu took this old dude.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Out speak cameras.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
When we come back, it's Later with mo Kelly kfi
AM six forty with live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.
We're live on YouTube, and don't forget tomorrow We're going
to be giving away tickets to Harry Potter and the
Cursed Child at the Hollywood Pantagious Theater tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Not around. You have to watch the YouTube video to
find out.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
kfi AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
It's Later with mo Kelly kfi AM six forty at
YouTube and the iHeartRadio app and Instagram for that matter.
Let's talk about these speed cameras which are coming to LA,
specifically southern California and other cities around the state next
year and Assembly Bills six forty five. We talked about
it when it was first being debated. It now allows

(28:24):
for six California cities, La, Oakland, San Jose, Long Beach,
and Glendale to install these automated cameras to photograph and
ticket drivers whose speed. We all remember the red light
cameras that would ticket you if you went through the intersection.
Then all of a sudden, you get a ticket and

(28:44):
a fine in the mail. Well, it's something like that,
but it's going to be tiered relative to how fast
you were going over the speed limit. And I understand
what they're trying to do, but if you're going to
ticket people relati to how fast they're going, then you
have to have a much stiffer penalty than just money.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
After a certain point, here's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
When these cameras go into effect, and there's going to
be a sixty day warning period before they officially go
into effect, but when they're officially in effect, breaking the
speed limit by eleven to fifteen miles an hour, let's
say it's a twenty five mile an hour zone and
you're driving anywhere from you know, thirty six to forty
one miles an hour, that will be a fifty dollars fine.

(29:31):
If you're doing fifteen to twenty five miles per hour
over the speed limit, that's one hundred dollars fine. So
let's say you're doing fifty in a twenty five and
I say that's only one hundred if you are between
twenty six to ninety nine miles an hour over the

(29:51):
speed limit. Over the speed limit Let's say you're doing
let's say you're doing one hundred and thirty in a
forty mile an hour zone, it's a two hundred dollars fine.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
And if you're.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Driving over one hundred miles an hour over the speed limit,
let's say you're doing one hundred and fifty five and
a fifty mile an hour zone, that's a five hundred
dollars fine. I'm thinking after a certain point, if you've
tripled the speed limit, regardless of how much you may

(30:28):
be over the speed limit, if they can send you
a ticket, they might as well send you a warrant
in the mail for your arrest, because clearly you are
engaging in reckless driving. What's the point of having a
speed camera if there's only going to be a financial penalty.
I'm being serious now, and I don't like cameras just

(30:49):
watching everything I'm gonna do. But if you could actually
have a speed camera and I can consciously break the
speed laws by more than a one hundred miles an hour,
think of anywhere. Let's say a school zone is only
twenty five and you're doing one hundred and twenty six
in a school zone, and the worst that could happen

(31:12):
is a five hundred dollars fine.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
I was going to say, this's a cop, deliver it
to your house and then take you off, because that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
That would make more sense because if a cop actually
saw you do that, you would be arrested on the spot,
exactly on the spot. And if you have photographic evidence,
why would you not then put a warrant out for
the rest of that person or put some sort of
boot on their car. It's talk about one hundred and
twenty six miles an hour in a school zone, presumably

(31:42):
because they actually put it on the tear sheet as
far as how fast you can go, so clearly they
have considered the possibility of someone going more than.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
One hundred miles an hour over the speed limit.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
And I'm not saying that anyone who you know is
driving that fast can afford it. Five hundred dollars is
still five hundred dollars, But if you're willing to put
that many lines in danger, the penalty should be steeper
and stiffer than just five hundred dollars. In a way
that they've made the smashing, excuse me, the street takeovers felonies,

(32:17):
and they're going to impound the car.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Why would you not impound the car.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
If you're going to take a photo of someone's license
plate and you're going to send them a ticket, well,
clearly you have their registration information.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Just go send the toe truck to the house and
pick it up.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
And because that's what they would do if you didn't
pay your other parking tickets, they put a boot on
your car. In some cities, the didn't even tow your car.
Why would they not tow it here? It just makes
no sense. What's the point of having these cameras?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Oh god?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
If they just want more revenue, well you can get
even more revenue if you impound someone's car. And clearly,
if you're going one hundred miles over the speed limit,
you have earned your car being impounded.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
You should not.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
If you have photographic and video evidence of someone breaking
the law in that wanton way, why would you get
another chance to do it in the same vehicle? Or
you have someone you just thumb their nose. Yeah, I'm
driving a Lamborghini. I can afford a five hundred dollars fine,
I don't care. In fact, let me go around the
block and do it again so you can get me

(33:20):
on camera. Oh Okay, that's my second in fraction. So
now it's one thousand dollars. Why don't we do it again?
Make it five thousand. That doesn't deter the behavior, that
doesn't inspire someone to maybe not do it. It has
to be punitive after a certain point. Yes, you have
a sixty day grace period so people can get used

(33:43):
to it, but after that usually put it this way,
go fifty five miles an hour over the speed limit.
Let's say you going out to Vegas and I'm just
telling you I've done it.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I have opened it.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
I had a Honda S two thousand, and I was
driving to Vegas and I want to see how far,
excuse me, how fast the car could drive.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
And I was at the upper limit.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I was in the one twenties, all right, and I
think the speed limit was seventy five at that point
a highway. So I'm a good fifty miles over the
speed limit. I'm sure if Radar ha clocked me in
the California Highway Patrol or a Nevada State trooper had
clocked me, I probably would have gone to prison, go
to jail at Lease for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
But why would you not do that?

Speaker 2 (34:27):
If someone's doing one hundred miles an hour over the
speed limit, and presumably a residential area because or even
on the highway. I mean, why would you not do that?
That's the things like you come up with these ideas.
They may be well intentioned, but did no one think
this through to us logical conclusion. It's on the rate sheet,
as they say, for one hundred miles an hour, and

(34:48):
you're only charging money. You're not taking their license, you're
not taking their car.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
And what's the point.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
I know if I don't pay my parking tickets and
everyone knows who's ever got a parking ticket? If you
don't pay your parking tickets, what happens? You got to
pay it to get your registration. They gonna get their money,
and if you don't, then you know, after a certain point,
they'll empouce your car. Can I say meter maide? Am
I allowed to say meter maid?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Sure? Okay, I say the meter maid.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
If they see your car with all those parking tickets
on your registration, then they'll just call the toe truck.
They're penalties for far less aberrant behavior, far less, But
you're not gonna have those same type of penalties. So
what's the point of this, that's the whole point. What
is the point of the speed camera if I can
drive as fast as I want with no real penalty,

(35:43):
Because if you look at the story, it's all about
well speeding, lease all these accidents and so many people
dying every single year. Well, but if it's not an
adequate deterrent, then what's the point.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Well, the other point here is that when it's only finds,
it's only poor people who are really getting punished.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Ah, So it's just a tax on the community. If
if you're rich, you can afford to break the law.
That's and that was my point with the whole Lamborghini analogy.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
That's the point.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Who do you think is most likely to go one
hundred miles an hour over the speed limit?

Speaker 4 (36:16):
And if you're going that far over the speed limit
in the school zone, just go straight to one of
those supermaxes in Ecuador, Hell or Venezuela or wherever they're
renditioning people to. I forget where it is. If anything,
it'll lost, thank you, Yeah, just send them all.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
See.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
If anything, it would inspire those young punks that are
on YouTube to just go even faster.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
It's a dare.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
It's like, can I drive fast enough where the camera
doesn't catch me? Or or and I know they do
this in other cities, they steal people's cars, they engage
in this behavior. I'm being very serious. I know it's
rampant in Chicago. They will steal cars and they'll do
other stuff in it. Well, yes, if I want to
test the lights to the cameras and see if they

(36:59):
can pick it up or whatever, or just have some
fun with the police, then why not just drive one
hundred and fifty.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Miles an hour, Just take someone else's car for a
test drive and hope that they're the ones who get
blamed for it.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Nice, I'll say things are getting too automated now. If
I'm going to get busted for speeding or something like that,
I want a cop to come to the car and
have me terrified. I want them to wear the mirrored shades.
I want them to shout at me. That's the halfway view,
will respect my authoritiy the whole deal.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Don't want that.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
I want the full meal deal. I don't want some
anonymous ticket in the mail. We disagree. I would rather
have the ticket in the mail than the interaction. And
I'm not being funny. I want the gut hanging over
the belt, the whole nine yards.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
No, because this out here we go, since we're gonna
have this conversation, I don't want there to be a misunderstanding.
I don't want there to be a mistake as to
my intentions or what is something that can be mistaken
as a furtive movement.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
I don't want any of that. But you might be
able to talk your way out of an officer. I
was in labor. I've got to go right now. Oh
that's so very non black you.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Labor. Yeah, we just have two different experiences. And I'm
not saying that.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I'm just saying it's just I would limit my interactions
because I don't want a misunderstanding.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
That's it. That's it.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
And that's different from the efficacy of a speed camera.
What they're proposing here is not going to do anything
to stop speeding because there's no real weight to the penalty.
But as far as wanting rather a law enforcement presence
to hand me a ticket, to ask me to get
out of my car, presumably to maybe search my car, No,

(38:40):
that's okay, we can do without all that. No, thank you, no,
thank you. Kind of anti social love you actually damn right,
It's later with Mo Kelly. Can if I am since
