Speaker 1 (00:22):
Kf I, mister Kelly, it's later with mo Kelly. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No video simulcast tonight,
no video simulcast.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll be back with that on Tuesday. And I say Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Because Monday there will be no letter with mo Kelly
because of the Chargers broadcast. Just want to let you know,
no letter with mo Kelly on Monday because of the
Chargers broadcast. No video simulcast tonight or Monday. But we'll
be back on Tuesday. Gotta tell you, I'm glad this
(00:54):
week is over. It was a long week. It was
a tense week. It was a taut week, and of
course that has to do with the assassination of Charlie Kirkin.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
All that's come with it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I did a lot of news media this week, a lot,
and I had one of my interviews a portion of this,
like one minute of a ten minute conversation on KTLA.
I posted it on my Instagram and later with mo
kelly Instagram, and I had CAFI collab and they sent
it out as well, and y'all went apoplectic lost y'all,
(01:30):
damn mind it is what I say.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's haha, sad how people in this time are so
determined without evidence, without facts, without confirmation. They want to
blame this person, they want to blame that group. They
want to say, MO, why didn't you condemn the Democrats? Well,
we didn't even have a shooter in custody. Who am
I supposed to condemn? I condemned political violence all time,
(01:56):
all the time, anyone who has ever known me, I
have never been a proponent of any violence.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I have never excused any violence ever.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But for some reason, you thought that I was somehow
okay with this type of violence against Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, not even close. I got a podcast to prove it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But you saw a clip of me on KTLA and
I wasn't going hard on the Democrats, that somehow I
was excusing us. And people are gonna take a moment
here because this is really important. People don't understand what
it is I do and who I am. I give analysis.
I don't talk my personal politics. I never have and
(02:37):
that's part of the reason why I'm asked to do BBC,
KTLA Spectrum News. I give analysis, context, history, facts, and
I talk about what is going on. How can we
relate it to history. What can we look to this
as emblematic of or what may happen in the future.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't get on there to advocate for or anyone.
I mean, I talk about immigration, but I don't talk
about my personal politics with immigration. I talk about methods
and tactics. I say whether I think this is right
or this is wrong, not what I want. I've never
endorsed any candidate on this show. You've never heard me
say a kind word about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris
or Karen Bass. And I mentioned this, and you may
(03:18):
get a kick out of this. Mark Runner specifically, I
kind of want to stay out of him. No, no, no, no,
just because it has to do with the newsroom.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I was talking to Michael Monks, CAFI reporter, and he
usually will answer the phone in the newsroom when people call,
you know, the news tip hotline, you know KFI news
on a half hour, an hour and a quarter whatever breaks,
whatever the slogan is. And then someone I guess was
so angry at me called in to the news hotline.
(03:49):
Michael Monks answered, and I guess said something to the
effect of I didn't hear the call, so I'm just
relaying it said something to the defective Why does kf
I hire a liberal like bo Kelly? I don't know
that was his voice, but that's how envision it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Very angry.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Number one, why would you think calling the news hotline
was going to get me fired? Or that your complaint
was going to matter anyway? Yeah, it got to me.
Heard your complaint, got news for you. I'll be here
on Tuesday. Eventually I will no longer work at KFI,
but it's not going to be tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
What would people do if we started calling up where
they work?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How did you know I always getting ready to go there? Sorry, no, no, no,
but no it's okay because that's the obvious and logical response.
And number one, that's actually that's number one. And number two,
how did you think that that was going to change anything?
How did you think that that was going to effectuate
any type of change? How did you think that a
(04:47):
business was supposed to hire relative to your conception of
who they should hire?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And you know, and.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Mark, you and I have had conversations off there twelat
You and I have had conversations for years. If they
actually talk to me and they actually spent any time
with me, they would know some things about me and
my personal politics, which are about as far away from
liberal as you can get as far away, like I'll
(05:17):
let me be just completely transparent. I've never advocated for
trans people. I've never advocated for undocumented immigrants. I talk
about the things which are unfair. I talk about the
things which are right and wrong. But I've never taken
any stance about, well, if this is what we need
(05:37):
to do for trans rights, this is not what we
need to do for gay rights, this is what we
need to do for undocuments.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You've never heard that out of my mouth ever, ever, ever.
I talk about the issues.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I talk about the things which I think, you know,
this is what we were told, this is what we
were sold. Regarding illegal immigration and ice enforcement, they are
not doing that. And I have a fundamental problem with
certain methods. And I have a fundamental problem with, for example,
trans athletes trying to play in sports not their biological gender.
(06:09):
That is completely different from what I feel about certain
communities or certain policies. I have never talked about my
personal politics, and that's intentional. It has nothing to do
with KFI. It's because that's my brand and allows me
to do CNN, Spectrune, KTLA, kN BC, Fox eleven, c
(06:34):
Span done them all. Why because they know that they
can count on me for analysis. And here's another thing.
Wall Street Journal, y'all owe some mother follows some apologies
for that BS reporter you put out about the shooter
being trans or having trans ideology. And if you ran
with that stuff, you owe them apology as well whoever
else did, because that was fundamentally wrong. And that's a
(06:55):
perfect example of you want to get the story right,
not just say some things because you're wish casting that
you want to place blame on someone.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh yeah, I'm on one tonight. Y'all got me going tonight, have.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
My video go viral on KTLA and everything, And y'all
want something to say. And I try to tell people
all the time. I'm willing to dialogue with you, I'm
willing to engage with you. I'm really willing to trade
with you. But if you want to be disrespectful in
name call, I'm just gonna block you. Well, I'm gonna
talk about you, probably talk about your mama, and then
block you. But understand, it's my house and you're gonna
(07:31):
come to my house and you want to talk to
me and my house, you're gonna act like you have
some home training, or I'm gonna put you out. So
if you're gonna come to my house at mister mo
Kelly on Instagram, at mister Kelly on Facebook or wherever else,
mind your p's and q's, act like you got some
home training, Act like you have some manners, because if
(07:53):
you come at me sideways in a way that you
wouldn't even think of as being appropriate in person. I
tell people all the time, if you talk to me
like we're on the street, then I'm gonna respond like
we're on the street. If you talk to me with respect,
then you get that in return, I will give you
exactly what you what you give.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, all right, Mark Ronner ready when you are Who's up?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
DAMPI mister b Kelly, It's the Later with Bo Kelly
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No video simulcast tonight.
It'll be back on Tuesday. But I did want to
let you know about this. We often talk about seven eleven.
We have a lot of fun disparaging seven eleven. I
have a lot of fun clowning Twala for daring to
walk into a seven eleven supposedly just to get some coffee,
(08:58):
or that day old pizza which has been moving in
circles behind the cash register, or those takeitos or whatever.
I have a lot of fun talking mess about Tawala
because I say it's too dangerous to walk into a
seven eleven, or at least walking to a seven to eleven
here in America. I have told you many times as
(09:20):
I travel, I always look for a seven eleven to
see if they're similar, different, if they are the crime
magnets that they happened to be here in California and
the United States. More generally, when I was in Korea
last June, they had seven elevens everywhere, And let me
say this, seven eleven is a worldwide brand. They have
them everywhere, specifically in Japan. But when I was in
(09:43):
Korea you could see them. They were cleaner, they had
different items that they offered, and it was something that
I think people were fine with using. That's not the
case here in California. It's very different. I've never been
to Japan. I hope to go this next summer. But Japan,
(10:03):
there are seven elevens We've talked about this before, are
very different from seven elevens around the world. It's more
of an upscale or semi upscale dining experience where they
have fresh food, they have real food, and the emphasis
is on food as opposed to some general convenience store
where you get taketos and maybe oil for your car.
(10:26):
It's a different experience, and the Japanese parent company of
seven to eleven is ready to invest billions of dollars
to specifically to bring the Japanese style of seven eleven
to the United States, where they want to push Japanese quality,
fresh food and have more of an upscale feel and experience.
(10:49):
I don't know what that would look like in America.
I don't know whether America would be open to what
the pictures that I see, at least on the internet
regarding what happens in a seven eleven in Japan. Seven
eleven has a brand here in the United States is
perceived one way. It's not perceived this high quality food.
(11:11):
I don't know if they can shake that brand association.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I believe that the redesign that they are planning, and
they're talking about overhauling every single seven to eleven in
the United States or else you will have to shut down.
You can no longer be a seven eleven if you
are unable to rebrand. They're talking about selling them to
all brands, maybe make them circle case, whatever. But they
are demanding that the seven elevens in the US change.
(11:40):
And they wanted to look more like imagine, you know,
like the the food area at Whole Foods or you
know something like that where you go in and you think, wow,
this is actually something I will stop buy and purposely
go to get lunch. Not I'm in a hurry and
I just got gas whatever, I'm here to get some
coffee and oh, yes, look at these Dale don't I'll
(12:00):
get that too.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, they wanted to be fresh.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think they need to take and who am I
I mean, I'm not a billionaire. I've never run a
billion dollar company, but I do think there are lessons
to be learned in the business world from this. I
think they should take a page out of the automotive
industry's book. What I mean by that is Honda didn't
try to do upstale cars. They had a different brand
in line, Accura, Toyota. The same with Lexus, you know,
(12:26):
Nissan Infinity, if I'm not mistaken, So you could at
least mentally separate. Yeah, you know, it's the same company,
but it's positioned and it targets a completely different market segment.
If you still call it all seven eleven, it's seven
eleven in my mind, maybe they need to call it
eight twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I mean, so you're saying, if it's seven eleven, and
when you walk inside it is a higher quality of food,
of just the experience altogether, but there's still a homeless
guy out.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Front that that's it. You're just you're not with it. Okay,
let's put it this way. Correct if I'm wrong, But
I think food for less is a subdivision of rows.
When you see a rouse, you expect a certain level, okay,
and no disrespect to food for less, but it is
a lower quality, and food for less is usually in
(13:23):
the lower economic means neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It's the hood.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's a discount grocery store for lack of a better phrase.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
But still you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
See food for less and necessarily associate routs or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think the same needs to be done here.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
If you're going to revamp the whole idea of seven eleven,
you got to call it something else, got it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that,
but I don't it's gonna be tough. That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It is, and I'm quite sure smarter people than me
have already gone through these different scenarios. But like, for example,
if you go to a Rouse and you see hookers
in front of ralphs like marks, Oh, they're not just
in front of it. Oh they're behind, aren't they. They're
ahead of me in line there?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What of you in line? Ahead of me?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
In line?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In front of you. I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you're saying. Hey,
hooker's got to eat? No, no, no, I misunderstood what
you said. I understand, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And the ahead of you in line, I know you're
whipping out the A material on a Friday, keep going.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I just I didn't know. We just ask for clarification,
all right. You had to take it there, asked and answered?
Did you say as? Did you say? Asked? Okay, my god,
you're gonna have to change that jingle. Okay, that's not
(14:46):
a serious that's not a serious eatery okay, Well that's
what they want to turn it into.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
So someday we could have date nights at seven eleven. Yes,
actually that's what they're trying.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They wanted to be a destination place for people to eat,
specifically to eat. I don't know if it's still gonna
be connected to gas stations. I don't know if it's
gonna be connected to strip malls. I don't know if
there's gonna be standalone locations. But they want to change
the whole concept of a seven eleven and for me
to for me, I think you're gonna have to completely
(15:19):
eradicate what we know as seven eleven or call it
something else. And yes, it would still be under the
umbrella of seven eleven. Like you can go to a
McDonald's and you see like those five different drinks at
the soda machine, and you think you're drinking something else,
but they're all owned by the Coca Cola company. It
might be one of those things. You have a premiere
(15:40):
brand or an upscale brand, and then you have the
bargain basement brand, but you think you're drinking something else,
or you know, frequenting some other establishment or supporting some
other business, but it's actually all going to.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The same place.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I'm trying to picture the joy and gratitude on a
nice lady's face when I say, hen, I thought we'd
grab a bite to eat.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's seven eleven tonight. Now I don't know them.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Remember we did a report on this a couple of
months ago that seven eleven they were also applying for
a national liquor license so they could start selling wine
and liquor and beer and stuff like that inside of
their facilities as they up their their food options as well.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's exactly what they need and you'd have to drink
it out of the paper bag, right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think some seven elevens can sell They have like
a wine and beer license if I'm not mistaken, but
not liquor, not liquor.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
But this is so that people can be in there.
They want to change. Yeah, they want if they want
you together, a covering and drink and expirital drinking like
table dining tables.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, so when you take your date you can tell her, honey,
I ordered us the very best bottle of Mad Dog
twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Do they still make Mad Dog? Twenty twenty. I sure hope.
So thunderbird, thunder Bird, what's the word?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's Later with mo Kelly can if I AM six forty.
At the top of the show, I was talking about
by different views on politics, not my personal politics, and
I made mention of immigration methods and tactics as far
(17:13):
as how we enforce it. Got to tell you about
the bill which was recently passed by California lawmakers when
we come back, which bans mass and requires law enforcement
to show their faces and if need be identified themselves. Clearly,
that's going to change the enforcement of immigration here in California.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
KFI. Mister bo Kelly, It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we often
talk about ice the raids. My usually entry point is
how it's being done, what's being done, what we were
promised in advance. Whether you support then candidate Trump, he
ran on the idea that they were going to go
(18:09):
after the gang members, to criminals and so forth.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It didn't turn out that way.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What we've been experiencing, and there are a lot of people
who are listening right now. It's like, yeah, I'm for this,
this is what I voted for it. No, it's not
exactly what you voted for. You're cool with how it's
going down, but you didn't vote for this because it
was not explicit that it was going to go down
this way. So you can't tell that lie. But we
do know that it's morphed into something else. How the
immigration raids are being conducted as far as the home depots,
(18:37):
as far as the schools going to round up people
who are at their court appointments, as far as immigration
appointments going about it the right way, And I have
an issue with that. When you have people who are
going about it the right way and you're deporting them,
it's like, well, then it's not about people illegally coming
(19:00):
to this country. You have people who are going about
it legally and you're still parting them. That is something
completely different. That means you just don't want those people here.
And how the immigration raids are being played out as
far as different cities, different communities, don't tell me they're
using the same tactics to get everyone who is undocumented
(19:21):
here in the United States, or more specifically southern California.
You're not approaching this the same way. When I see
the same type of tactics being used in all communities,
then we can have another conversation about that. That's what
I say, like, look, I am all for legal immigration,
(19:42):
but when you go to these types of tactics and
you're hiding your face and you're not identifying yourself, and
you're actually running down the street and tackling people while
hiding your face and not identifying yourself, that's.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
A completely different discussion.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So it's about writing, Yeah, you want to talk about
legal and illegal, then you have to take into account
when people are going about it legally or the types
of tactics which are being used which may be borderline illegal.
To that end, California lawmakers pass Senate Bills six two seven,
which is called the No Secret Police Act, and it
(20:20):
now prohibits on duty law enforcement officers from covering their faces.
And this has to do with local, it has to
do with state, and also has to do with federal.
Will it be challenged on the federal level, Yeah, there'll
probably be a lawsuit, but we haven't gotten there yet.
I'm just telling you where we are right now. The
legislation wording applies, as I said, to local, state, and
(20:41):
federal officers, and it includes federal immigration agents. That's tying
into what I was talking about ICE and their tactics.
It does exempt SWAT teams and allows for medical and
wildfire related mass. Now the question is whether ICE agents
or different law enforcement agencies will abide by the law,
(21:05):
and if not, then what, if anything, are the consequences.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
If we are about the business.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And again this is not my personal politics, I'm just
saying what it is. If this country is about law
and order, and if ICE is about getting the lawbreakers.
In other words, anyone who is undocumented in the country
has broken the law. If it is about that, the
law can also change and the law still have to
(21:34):
be followed, whether you agree with those changes or not.
And the law at this moment says that law enforcement local, state,
federal have to be unmasked and have to readily identify
themselves on their uniform. Because I think about this all
(21:56):
the time, and I've noticed let me digress just very quickly,
I notice that people are often okay with brutality and
incivility when they know they'll never.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Have to face it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You are fine generally with whatever happens in the Ice
immigration raids if.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You know it's not going to happen to you.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
If you never have to put yourself in a situation
where you might be approached by massed armed men who
want to put you in a van, not identify themselves,
and willing to use physical force and wrestle you to
the ground. The only way you would be okay with
that if you think or you know, it can never
(22:43):
happen to you. So we always talk about methods and tactics.
The question is whether Ice will abide by the law.
And the law is not subject to whether you like
it or whether you agree with it. So there was
a very famous Republican by the name of Donald Trump said,
we're a country of laws. If you don't have if
(23:05):
we're not a country of laws, if we don't have
a country.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, let's apply that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Then the law says that law enforcement is going to
have to not only readily identify themselves, in other words,
it has to be on their uniform.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
They cannot cover their faces.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I think often, and I can't speak for you, twelve,
I always think we talk about self defense and protecting
ourselves in dangerous situations. And I've always said, you have
to think about a situation before it happens. In other words,
if I were to be approached at a gas station
or car jacked, we talk about places you should go
or should not go to maximize your safety. And you
(23:44):
have to think about unsafe situations before they happen, because
if you haven't, after they've happened, you have no idea
what you want to do, or what you should do,
or what you should do to prevent it. I have
to think about if I am in a situation, and
I'm an American citizen, I have to think about if
I'm approached by a bunch of masked men, armed, unidentifiable
(24:09):
you know, there's no outward insignia saying that they're with
ice or anything like that, how am I supposed to respond?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
How would my wife respond?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Because let's not forget the Supreme Court just ruled that
basically it's a lais a fair.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
They can use any and all.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Attributes of a person, and they can approach and profile
my word as a see fit. And I know what
profiling means for me as an African American man, in America.
I know what it's like to be pulled over unnecessarily okay,
So I have to actively think as an American citizen
(24:56):
about the prospect because they've been deported Africans. Yes, I
have to think about the possibility of being approached, even wrongly,
by ICE agents who are masked, who are not identify themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
How would I respond?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And the only people who would be okay with stuff
like this if you know back in your mind, in
the back of your mind, that it would never happen
to you, It would never happen to your child, it
would never happen to your wife, it would never happen
to your grandfather. Because we all know the moment that
everyone is subject to this type of treatment, ish would change.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, bottom line is this entire farce that we are
dealing with. It is nowhere near what anyone thought it
was going to be. It has become something entirely different.
It has become something wholly perverted on the surface of
just what it is. And you and I both know
(25:59):
people and we've seen this. People have used this lawlessness
by alleged agents to approach individuals and have had no
affiliation with any law enforcement agency.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
So if you or I see someone coming at us
with masks and no badge, no identification, nothing, how do
I know that you're not someone that's just sent to
just take me out? I don't know, because you're not
identifying yourself as an officer of the law, as a
member of ICE something I can say. Okay, you're LAPD
I will stop and listen to you. Yes, identify this,
(26:37):
you know, La Sheriff. I see you coming. I'm giving
you my full attention and respect. But just some dude
in the mass How do I know you're not Dean
Kane on your way home from a basketball practice?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Hey, hey, he is an actual ICE agent now looking passed?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Did he pass that test? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Look, he would never lie, Dean Kane. I've played basketball
against him. He seems to be a straight up guy. Okay,
as if one has anything to do with the other.
We got to carry this over to the next sepic
because I got more to say about this, but I will.
I want to leave you this to think about during
the break. Do you know, and this is semi rhetorical,
do you know that most people who are here undocumented
(27:16):
in the United States are people who've overstayed their visas,
and that's not Latino. It would be different if ice
were going because you can find out there is an actual,
veritifiable list of people who've overstayed their visas, and you
can go knock on their doors and you will find
that there's a cross section across all ethnic communities as
(27:37):
far as people who've overstayed their visas and who are
by law designation, breaking the law here illegally.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
They're not going after those individuals.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So it says to me, it's not about the law,
it's about the specific people that you're choosing the target.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's not politics, that's not my politics. That's just about
right and wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
If you're not equally enforcing the law irrespective of the
law breakers, then there's something wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Then you're not actually enforcing the law. Like if you're
only going to enforce.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
People who will break the law, the speeding law every Wednesday, well,
when you only see a blue car, you're not enforcing
the law.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Is Later with Mo Kelly Love Everyone in a heart
radio app And I just want to put a period
on this discussion of this new law in which law enforcement, local, state,
federal will not be allowed.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
To wear masks to obscure.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I can't say their identity because it doesn't mean they're
going to wear a name plate, but they can't hide
their faces, and they will have to wear identifying insignia
or at least identify themselves when asked. And I was
making the point last segment. The people who are cool
with all the masks and the lack of identification, I say,
(29:13):
are the people who would never have to deal with it. Imagine,
let me just flip this we've been talking about, I
should say in general, news has been discussing the follow.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Home robberies, the burglaries, and Encino.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Imagine for a moment, you live in Encino and five
people come up to you wearing masks, armed legitimately armed,
presenting themselves as law enforcement and not identifying themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What would you do? What are you supposed to do? See?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That's the difference, because I don't think many people have
actually thought about it in personal terms. And if you
haven't thought about it in personal terms, there obviously is
a belief that it can't happen to you, that it
won't happen to you. And honestly, for me, just for me,
this is all too reminiscent and close to what was
going on in New York was stopping frisk. And if
(30:08):
you don't know what stopping frisk was, which was ruled
on constitutional, the way they were doing it is they
could just see anyone and if they think that you
might have something on you, be a drugs or weapons something,
they could stop you, pull you aside, search you, go.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Into your pockets, and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And strangely enough, just black and brown people by and large,
and that's why it was ruled on constitutional. So I
have to look at the ice raids through that same prism,
that same lens. The folks who are okay with this
are the folks who don't have to worry about ever
being bothered by this. If you should happen to live
in Ensino and you're worried about burglaries, I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Imagine if someone were to come up to you with
armed and they're wearing masks, are you going to assume
that they're law enforcement or are you just assuming, well,
they can't be here for me because I'm not undocumented.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
This is very dangerous.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I should say has been very dangerous, because anytime you
have armed individuals who will not identify themselves, who have
the power to quote unquote arrest people, you are inviting
criminals to masquerade. You are inviting bad actors to take
(31:23):
advantage of their anonymity. And people are going to get hurt,
and people are going to get killed. And if you
don't worry about that, if you're not concerned with that,
I happen to believe you think that would never happen
to you. You don't think that would happen to your child,
You don't think it would happen to anyone in your family.
And I know for a fact that it could very
(31:45):
well happen to me or people I care about, people
who are in my family. I have a multicultural family,
and if you look at a lot of my family members,
you would know their ethnic history at all. You would
not know. And I don't know what to tell my
sons to do if multiple armed men came up to
(32:07):
them and tried to arrest them or abduct them, my word,
without showing their faces, without showing a warrant, without verifying
that there is reasonable suspicion that they're undocumented.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
What am I supposed to tell them?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Because they are then in danger either from an actual
ICE agent or a would be criminal. Okay, if I
am six forty life everywhere in the iHeartRadio
Speaker 4 (32:36):
App Aspy and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County
more stimulating talk
Kf I, mister Kelly, it's later with mo Kelly. We're
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No video simulcast tonight,
no video simulcast.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll be back with that on Tuesday. And I say Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Because Monday there will be no letter with mo Kelly
because of the Chargers broadcast. Just want to let you know,
no letter with mo Kelly on Monday because of the
Chargers broadcast. No video simulcast tonight or Monday. But we'll
be back on Tuesday. Gotta tell you, I'm glad this
(00:54):
week is over. It was a long week. It was
a tense week. It was a taut week, and of
course that has to do with the assassination of Charlie Kirkin.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
All that's come with it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I did a lot of news media this week, a lot,
and I had one of my interviews a portion of this,
like one minute of a ten minute conversation on KTLA.
I posted it on my Instagram and later with mo
kelly Instagram, and I had CAFI collab and they sent
it out as well, and y'all went apoplectic lost y'all,
(01:30):
damn mind it is what I say.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It's haha, sad how people in this time are so
determined without evidence, without facts, without confirmation. They want to
blame this person, they want to blame that group. They
want to say, MO, why didn't you condemn the Democrats? Well,
we didn't even have a shooter in custody. Who am
I supposed to condemn? I condemned political violence all time,
(01:56):
all the time, anyone who has ever known me, I
have never been a proponent of any violence.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I have never excused any violence ever.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But for some reason, you thought that I was somehow
okay with this type of violence against Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, not even close. I got a podcast to prove it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
But you saw a clip of me on KTLA and
I wasn't going hard on the Democrats, that somehow I
was excusing us. And people are gonna take a moment
here because this is really important. People don't understand what
it is I do and who I am. I give analysis.
I don't talk my personal politics. I never have and
(02:37):
that's part of the reason why I'm asked to do BBC,
KTLA Spectrum News. I give analysis, context, history, facts, and
I talk about what is going on. How can we
relate it to history. What can we look to this
as emblematic of or what may happen in the future.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't get on there to advocate for or anyone.
I mean, I talk about immigration, but I don't talk
about my personal politics with immigration. I talk about methods
and tactics. I say whether I think this is right
or this is wrong, not what I want. I've never
endorsed any candidate on this show. You've never heard me
say a kind word about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris
or Karen Bass. And I mentioned this, and you may
(03:18):
get a kick out of this. Mark Runner specifically, I
kind of want to stay out of him. No, no, no, no,
just because it has to do with the newsroom.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I was talking to Michael Monks, CAFI reporter, and he
usually will answer the phone in the newsroom when people call,
you know, the news tip hotline, you know KFI news
on a half hour, an hour and a quarter whatever breaks,
whatever the slogan is. And then someone I guess was
so angry at me called in to the news hotline.
(03:49):
Michael Monks answered, and I guess said something to the
effect of I didn't hear the call, so I'm just
relaying it said something to the defective Why does kf
I hire a liberal like bo Kelly? I don't know
that was his voice, but that's how envision it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Very angry.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Number one, why would you think calling the news hotline
was going to get me fired? Or that your complaint
was going to matter anyway? Yeah, it got to me.
Heard your complaint, got news for you. I'll be here
on Tuesday. Eventually I will no longer work at KFI,
but it's not going to be tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
What would people do if we started calling up where
they work?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How did you know I always getting ready to go there? Sorry, no, no, no,
but no it's okay because that's the obvious and logical response.
And number one, that's actually that's number one. And number two,
how did you think that that was going to change anything?
How did you think that that was going to effectuate
any type of change? How did you think that a
(04:47):
business was supposed to hire relative to your conception of
who they should hire?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And you know, and.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Mark, you and I have had conversations off there twelat
You and I have had conversations for years. If they
actually talk to me and they actually spent any time
with me, they would know some things about me and
my personal politics, which are about as far away from
liberal as you can get as far away, like I'll
(05:17):
let me be just completely transparent. I've never advocated for
trans people. I've never advocated for undocumented immigrants. I talk
about the things which are unfair. I talk about the
things which are right and wrong. But I've never taken
any stance about, well, if this is what we need
(05:37):
to do for trans rights, this is not what we
need to do for gay rights, this is what we
need to do for undocuments.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You've never heard that out of my mouth ever, ever, ever.
I talk about the issues.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I talk about the things which I think, you know,
this is what we were told, this is what we
were sold. Regarding illegal immigration and ice enforcement, they are
not doing that. And I have a fundamental problem with
certain methods. And I have a fundamental problem with, for example,
trans athletes trying to play in sports not their biological gender.
(06:09):
That is completely different from what I feel about certain
communities or certain policies. I have never talked about my
personal politics, and that's intentional. It has nothing to do
with KFI. It's because that's my brand and allows me
to do CNN, Spectrune, KTLA, kN BC, Fox eleven, c
(06:34):
Span done them all. Why because they know that they
can count on me for analysis. And here's another thing.
Wall Street Journal, y'all owe some mother follows some apologies
for that BS reporter you put out about the shooter
being trans or having trans ideology. And if you ran
with that stuff, you owe them apology as well whoever
else did, because that was fundamentally wrong. And that's a
(06:55):
perfect example of you want to get the story right,
not just say some things because you're wish casting that
you want to place blame on someone.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh yeah, I'm on one tonight. Y'all got me going tonight, have.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
My video go viral on KTLA and everything, And y'all
want something to say. And I try to tell people
all the time. I'm willing to dialogue with you, I'm
willing to engage with you. I'm really willing to trade
with you. But if you want to be disrespectful in
name call, I'm just gonna block you. Well, I'm gonna
talk about you, probably talk about your mama, and then
block you. But understand, it's my house and you're gonna
(07:31):
come to my house and you want to talk to
me and my house, you're gonna act like you have
some home training, or I'm gonna put you out. So
if you're gonna come to my house at mister mo
Kelly on Instagram, at mister Kelly on Facebook or wherever else,
mind your p's and q's, act like you got some
home training, Act like you have some manners, because if
(07:53):
you come at me sideways in a way that you
wouldn't even think of as being appropriate in person. I
tell people all the time, if you talk to me
like we're on the street, then I'm gonna respond like
we're on the street. If you talk to me with respect,
then you get that in return, I will give you
exactly what you what you give.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, all right, Mark Ronner ready when you are Who's up?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
DAMPI mister b Kelly, It's the Later with Bo Kelly
live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No video simulcast tonight.
It'll be back on Tuesday. But I did want to
let you know about this. We often talk about seven eleven.
We have a lot of fun disparaging seven eleven. I
have a lot of fun clowning Twala for daring to
walk into a seven eleven supposedly just to get some coffee,
(08:58):
or that day old pizza which has been moving in
circles behind the cash register, or those takeitos or whatever.
I have a lot of fun talking mess about Tawala
because I say it's too dangerous to walk into a
seven eleven, or at least walking to a seven to eleven
here in America. I have told you many times as
(09:20):
I travel, I always look for a seven eleven to
see if they're similar, different, if they are the crime
magnets that they happened to be here in California and
the United States. More generally, when I was in Korea
last June, they had seven elevens everywhere, And let me
say this, seven eleven is a worldwide brand. They have
them everywhere, specifically in Japan. But when I was in
(09:43):
Korea you could see them. They were cleaner, they had
different items that they offered, and it was something that
I think people were fine with using. That's not the
case here in California. It's very different. I've never been
to Japan. I hope to go this next summer. But Japan,
(10:03):
there are seven elevens We've talked about this before, are
very different from seven elevens around the world. It's more
of an upscale or semi upscale dining experience where they
have fresh food, they have real food, and the emphasis
is on food as opposed to some general convenience store
where you get taketos and maybe oil for your car.
(10:26):
It's a different experience, and the Japanese parent company of
seven to eleven is ready to invest billions of dollars
to specifically to bring the Japanese style of seven eleven
to the United States, where they want to push Japanese quality,
fresh food and have more of an upscale feel and experience.
(10:49):
I don't know what that would look like in America.
I don't know whether America would be open to what
the pictures that I see, at least on the internet
regarding what happens in a seven eleven in Japan. Seven
eleven has a brand here in the United States is
perceived one way. It's not perceived this high quality food.
(11:11):
I don't know if they can shake that brand association.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I believe that the redesign that they are planning, and
they're talking about overhauling every single seven to eleven in
the United States or else you will have to shut down.
You can no longer be a seven eleven if you
are unable to rebrand. They're talking about selling them to
all brands, maybe make them circle case, whatever. But they
are demanding that the seven elevens in the US change.
(11:40):
And they wanted to look more like imagine, you know,
like the the food area at Whole Foods or you
know something like that where you go in and you think, wow,
this is actually something I will stop buy and purposely
go to get lunch. Not I'm in a hurry and
I just got gas whatever, I'm here to get some
coffee and oh, yes, look at these Dale don't I'll
(12:00):
get that too.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, they wanted to be fresh.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I think they need to take and who am I
I mean, I'm not a billionaire. I've never run a
billion dollar company, but I do think there are lessons
to be learned in the business world from this. I
think they should take a page out of the automotive
industry's book. What I mean by that is Honda didn't
try to do upstale cars. They had a different brand
in line, Accura, Toyota. The same with Lexus, you know,
(12:26):
Nissan Infinity, if I'm not mistaken, So you could at
least mentally separate. Yeah, you know, it's the same company,
but it's positioned and it targets a completely different market segment.
If you still call it all seven eleven, it's seven
eleven in my mind, maybe they need to call it
eight twelve.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
I mean, so you're saying, if it's seven eleven, and
when you walk inside it is a higher quality of food,
of just the experience altogether, but there's still a homeless
guy out.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Front that that's it. You're just you're not with it. Okay,
let's put it this way. Correct if I'm wrong, But
I think food for less is a subdivision of rows.
When you see a rouse, you expect a certain level, okay,
and no disrespect to food for less, but it is
a lower quality, and food for less is usually in
(13:23):
the lower economic means neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It's the hood.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's a discount grocery store for lack of a better phrase.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
But still you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
See food for less and necessarily associate routs or vice versa.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I think the same needs to be done here.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
If you're going to revamp the whole idea of seven eleven,
you got to call it something else, got it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that,
but I don't it's gonna be tough. That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It is, and I'm quite sure smarter people than me
have already gone through these different scenarios. But like, for example,
if you go to a Rouse and you see hookers
in front of ralphs like marks, Oh, they're not just
in front of it. Oh they're behind, aren't they. They're
ahead of me in line there?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What of you in line? Ahead of me?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
In line?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In front of you. I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you're saying. Hey,
hooker's got to eat? No, no, no, I misunderstood what
you said. I understand, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And the ahead of you in line, I know you're
whipping out the A material on a Friday, keep going.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I just I didn't know. We just ask for clarification,
all right. You had to take it there, asked and answered?
Did you say as? Did you say? Asked? Okay, my god,
you're gonna have to change that jingle. Okay, that's not
(14:46):
a serious that's not a serious eatery okay, Well that's
what they want to turn it into.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
So someday we could have date nights at seven eleven. Yes,
actually that's what they're trying.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They wanted to be a destination place for people to eat,
specifically to eat. I don't know if it's still gonna
be connected to gas stations. I don't know if it's
gonna be connected to strip malls. I don't know if
there's gonna be standalone locations. But they want to change
the whole concept of a seven eleven and for me
to for me, I think you're gonna have to completely
(15:19):
eradicate what we know as seven eleven or call it
something else. And yes, it would still be under the
umbrella of seven eleven. Like you can go to a
McDonald's and you see like those five different drinks at
the soda machine, and you think you're drinking something else,
but they're all owned by the Coca Cola company. It
might be one of those things. You have a premiere
(15:40):
brand or an upscale brand, and then you have the
bargain basement brand, but you think you're drinking something else,
or you know, frequenting some other establishment or supporting some
other business, but it's actually all going to.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The same place.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I'm trying to picture the joy and gratitude on a
nice lady's face when I say, hen, I thought we'd
grab a bite to eat.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's seven eleven tonight. Now I don't know them.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Remember we did a report on this a couple of
months ago that seven eleven they were also applying for
a national liquor license so they could start selling wine
and liquor and beer and stuff like that inside of
their facilities as they up their their food options as well.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's exactly what they need and you'd have to drink
it out of the paper bag, right.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think some seven elevens can sell They have like
a wine and beer license if I'm not mistaken, but
not liquor, not liquor.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
But this is so that people can be in there.
They want to change. Yeah, they want if they want
you together, a covering and drink and expirital drinking like
table dining tables.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, so when you take your date you can tell her, honey,
I ordered us the very best bottle of Mad Dog
twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Do they still make Mad Dog? Twenty twenty. I sure hope.
So thunderbird, thunder Bird, what's the word?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's Later with mo Kelly can if I AM six forty.
At the top of the show, I was talking about
by different views on politics, not my personal politics, and
I made mention of immigration methods and tactics as far
(17:13):
as how we enforce it. Got to tell you about
the bill which was recently passed by California lawmakers when
we come back, which bans mass and requires law enforcement
to show their faces and if need be identified themselves. Clearly,
that's going to change the enforcement of immigration here in California.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
KFI. Mister bo Kelly, It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we often
talk about ice the raids. My usually entry point is
how it's being done, what's being done, what we were
promised in advance. Whether you support then candidate Trump, he
ran on the idea that they were going to go
(18:09):
after the gang members, to criminals and so forth.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It didn't turn out that way.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
What we've been experiencing, and there are a lot of people
who are listening right now. It's like, yeah, I'm for this,
this is what I voted for it. No, it's not
exactly what you voted for. You're cool with how it's
going down, but you didn't vote for this because it
was not explicit that it was going to go down
this way. So you can't tell that lie. But we
do know that it's morphed into something else. How the
immigration raids are being conducted as far as the home depots,
(18:37):
as far as the schools going to round up people
who are at their court appointments, as far as immigration
appointments going about it the right way, And I have
an issue with that. When you have people who are
going about it the right way and you're deporting them,
it's like, well, then it's not about people illegally coming
(19:00):
to this country. You have people who are going about
it legally and you're still parting them. That is something
completely different. That means you just don't want those people here.
And how the immigration raids are being played out as
far as different cities, different communities, don't tell me they're
using the same tactics to get everyone who is undocumented
(19:21):
here in the United States, or more specifically southern California.
You're not approaching this the same way. When I see
the same type of tactics being used in all communities,
then we can have another conversation about that. That's what
I say, like, look, I am all for legal immigration,
(19:42):
but when you go to these types of tactics and
you're hiding your face and you're not identifying yourself, and
you're actually running down the street and tackling people while
hiding your face and not identifying yourself, that's.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
A completely different discussion.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So it's about writing, Yeah, you want to talk about
legal and illegal, then you have to take into account
when people are going about it legally or the types
of tactics which are being used which may be borderline illegal.
To that end, California lawmakers pass Senate Bills six two seven,
which is called the No Secret Police Act, and it
(20:20):
now prohibits on duty law enforcement officers from covering their faces.
And this has to do with local, it has to
do with state, and also has to do with federal.
Will it be challenged on the federal level, Yeah, there'll
probably be a lawsuit, but we haven't gotten there yet.
I'm just telling you where we are right now. The
legislation wording applies, as I said, to local, state, and
(20:41):
federal officers, and it includes federal immigration agents. That's tying
into what I was talking about ICE and their tactics.
It does exempt SWAT teams and allows for medical and
wildfire related mass. Now the question is whether ICE agents
or different law enforcement agencies will abide by the law,
(21:05):
and if not, then what, if anything, are the consequences.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
If we are about the business.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And again this is not my personal politics, I'm just
saying what it is. If this country is about law
and order, and if ICE is about getting the lawbreakers.
In other words, anyone who is undocumented in the country
has broken the law. If it is about that, the
law can also change and the law still have to
(21:34):
be followed, whether you agree with those changes or not.
And the law at this moment says that law enforcement local, state,
federal have to be unmasked and have to readily identify
themselves on their uniform. Because I think about this all
(21:56):
the time, and I've noticed let me digress just very quickly,
I notice that people are often okay with brutality and
incivility when they know they'll never.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Have to face it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You are fine generally with whatever happens in the Ice
immigration raids if.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You know it's not going to happen to you.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
If you never have to put yourself in a situation
where you might be approached by massed armed men who
want to put you in a van, not identify themselves,
and willing to use physical force and wrestle you to
the ground. The only way you would be okay with
that if you think or you know, it can never
(22:43):
happen to you. So we always talk about methods and tactics.
The question is whether Ice will abide by the law.
And the law is not subject to whether you like
it or whether you agree with it. So there was
a very famous Republican by the name of Donald Trump said,
we're a country of laws. If you don't have if
(23:05):
we're not a country of laws, if we don't have
a country.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, let's apply that.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Then the law says that law enforcement is going to
have to not only readily identify themselves, in other words,
it has to be on their uniform.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
They cannot cover their faces.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I think often, and I can't speak for you, twelve,
I always think we talk about self defense and protecting
ourselves in dangerous situations. And I've always said, you have
to think about a situation before it happens. In other words,
if I were to be approached at a gas station
or car jacked, we talk about places you should go
or should not go to maximize your safety. And you
(23:44):
have to think about unsafe situations before they happen, because
if you haven't, after they've happened, you have no idea
what you want to do, or what you should do,
or what you should do to prevent it. I have
to think about if I am in a situation, and
I'm an American citizen, I have to think about if
I'm approached by a bunch of masked men, armed, unidentifiable
(24:09):
you know, there's no outward insignia saying that they're with
ice or anything like that, how am I supposed to respond?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
How would my wife respond?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Because let's not forget the Supreme Court just ruled that
basically it's a lais a fair.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
They can use any and all.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Attributes of a person, and they can approach and profile
my word as a see fit. And I know what
profiling means for me as an African American man, in America.
I know what it's like to be pulled over unnecessarily okay,
So I have to actively think as an American citizen
(24:56):
about the prospect because they've been deported Africans. Yes, I
have to think about the possibility of being approached, even wrongly,
by ICE agents who are masked, who are not identify themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
How would I respond?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And the only people who would be okay with stuff
like this if you know back in your mind, in
the back of your mind, that it would never happen
to you, It would never happen to your child, it
would never happen to your wife, it would never happen
to your grandfather. Because we all know the moment that
everyone is subject to this type of treatment, ish would change.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, bottom line is this entire farce that we are
dealing with. It is nowhere near what anyone thought it
was going to be. It has become something entirely different.
It has become something wholly perverted on the surface of
just what it is. And you and I both know
(25:59):
people and we've seen this. People have used this lawlessness
by alleged agents to approach individuals and have had no
affiliation with any law enforcement agency.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
So if you or I see someone coming at us
with masks and no badge, no identification, nothing, how do
I know that you're not someone that's just sent to
just take me out? I don't know, because you're not
identifying yourself as an officer of the law, as a
member of ICE something I can say. Okay, you're LAPD
I will stop and listen to you. Yes, identify this,
(26:37):
you know, La Sheriff. I see you coming. I'm giving
you my full attention and respect. But just some dude
in the mass How do I know you're not Dean
Kane on your way home from a basketball practice?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Hey, hey, he is an actual ICE agent now looking passed?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Did he pass that test? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Look, he would never lie, Dean Kane. I've played basketball
against him. He seems to be a straight up guy. Okay,
as if one has anything to do with the other.
We got to carry this over to the next sepic
because I got more to say about this, but I will.
I want to leave you this to think about during
the break. Do you know, and this is semi rhetorical,
do you know that most people who are here undocumented
(27:16):
in the United States are people who've overstayed their visas,
and that's not Latino. It would be different if ice
were going because you can find out there is an actual,
veritifiable list of people who've overstayed their visas, and you
can go knock on their doors and you will find
that there's a cross section across all ethnic communities as
(27:37):
far as people who've overstayed their visas and who are
by law designation, breaking the law here illegally.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
They're not going after those individuals.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So it says to me, it's not about the law,
it's about the specific people that you're choosing the target.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's not politics, that's not my politics. That's just about
right and wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
If you're not equally enforcing the law irrespective of the
law breakers, then there's something wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Then you're not actually enforcing the law. Like if you're
only going to enforce.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
People who will break the law, the speeding law every Wednesday, well,
when you only see a blue car, you're not enforcing
the law.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Is Later with Mo Kelly Love Everyone in a heart
radio app And I just want to put a period
on this discussion of this new law in which law enforcement, local, state,
federal will not be allowed.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
To wear masks to obscure.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I can't say their identity because it doesn't mean they're
going to wear a name plate, but they can't hide
their faces, and they will have to wear identifying insignia
or at least identify themselves when asked. And I was
making the point last segment. The people who are cool
with all the masks and the lack of identification, I say,
(29:13):
are the people who would never have to deal with it. Imagine,
let me just flip this we've been talking about, I
should say in general, news has been discussing the follow.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Home robberies, the burglaries, and Encino.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Imagine for a moment, you live in Encino and five
people come up to you wearing masks, armed legitimately armed,
presenting themselves as law enforcement and not identifying themselves.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
What would you do? What are you supposed to do? See?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
That's the difference, because I don't think many people have
actually thought about it in personal terms. And if you
haven't thought about it in personal terms, there obviously is
a belief that it can't happen to you, that it
won't happen to you. And honestly, for me, just for me,
this is all too reminiscent and close to what was
going on in New York was stopping frisk. And if
(30:08):
you don't know what stopping frisk was, which was ruled
on constitutional, the way they were doing it is they
could just see anyone and if they think that you
might have something on you, be a drugs or weapons something,
they could stop you, pull you aside, search you, go.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Into your pockets, and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
And strangely enough, just black and brown people by and large,
and that's why it was ruled on constitutional. So I
have to look at the ice raids through that same prism,
that same lens. The folks who are okay with this
are the folks who don't have to worry about ever
being bothered by this. If you should happen to live
in Ensino and you're worried about burglaries, I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Imagine if someone were to come up to you with
armed and they're wearing masks, are you going to assume
that they're law enforcement or are you just assuming, well,
they can't be here for me because I'm not undocumented.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
This is very dangerous.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I should say has been very dangerous, because anytime you
have armed individuals who will not identify themselves, who have
the power to quote unquote arrest people, you are inviting
criminals to masquerade. You are inviting bad actors to take
(31:23):
advantage of their anonymity. And people are going to get hurt,
and people are going to get killed. And if you
don't worry about that, if you're not concerned with that,
I happen to believe you think that would never happen
to you. You don't think that would happen to your child,
You don't think it would happen to anyone in your family.
And I know for a fact that it could very
(31:45):
well happen to me or people I care about, people
who are in my family. I have a multicultural family,
and if you look at a lot of my family members,
you would know their ethnic history at all. You would
not know. And I don't know what to tell my
sons to do if multiple armed men came up to
(32:07):
them and tried to arrest them or abduct them, my word,
without showing their faces, without showing a warrant, without verifying
that there is reasonable suspicion that they're undocumented.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
What am I supposed to tell them?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Because they are then in danger either from an actual
ICE agent or a would be criminal. Okay, if I
