Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't know what's up with him, but he's here already.
He has food.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, I know.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I didn't say yet. Why are you so upset? Because
your face You're like, why are you here?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Because you're not doing the show until two hours from now?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Early?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Do you not know how your heart and your stomach?
You could have said it by uber eat.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
You could have given it to no one.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
No, no, I got stories. We'll talk two hours exact,
two hour. Will see you at nine or sooner. Now
you've already seen me.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You're not leaving.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Well you listening on the iHeartRadio app. We're via KFI
AM six forty. Thank you for tuning in, and I
will catch you at nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's Nick Poliochanni. We love him.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sometimes not until nine o'clock on Tuesdays. We have to
tell you about the air quality which is getting worse.
More advisories have been issued and just in case you
didn't know about the bad news about things which might
kill us. Fleaborne virus outbreak reporting in Long Beach is
oddly specific in Long Beach. Nick POLIOCHINNI in Long Beach.

(01:38):
And we are going to have the Olympics in twenty
twenty eight, you know, God willing. But President Trump has
stepped in to issue an executive order on the LA
twenty eight Olympics. He has a task for us that
he is heading up. Personally, I don't know what he
is going to be doing, but he signed an executive
order today regarding the Olympics in twenty twenty eight. Will

(02:00):
be hearing from him some of his remarks he gave
earlier today in Washington, DC. And didn't see the President
walking around on the roof of the White House.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
And there was no Secret Service security detail with him.
He was just out there on the roof fielding questions
from reporters, yelling at them. The reporters were yelling back
at him. It was one of the strangest things that
I've ever seen ever, not in presidential politics, not in
crazy people.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Just ever.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I've never seen anything.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Like that, And you can't really appreciate it unless you've
actually been to Washington, DC and walked in front of
the White House and see how close you can't get
to the White House. And also you don't have the
president just up down the roof because he's an open
target from blocks away.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I'm being very serious.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And usually they have a shooter on the roof at
all times looking for some crazy person in a building
up two blocks or three blocks away. They have the
long range sights on. To see the president there, it
was mind boggling and mind blowing to me, if only
because he was so exposed. We might talk about that later.

(03:18):
We'll also tell you why Las Vegas tourism is down,
and it might be the fault of California. It's always
California's fault. Everything which is bad in the world has
something to do with California.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It's our fault.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
And robots they now paint lines on fields. You ever
go to a football field and say, oh my gosh,
those lines are so perfectly painted.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Who did they hire to do that? A robot? Hey,
Mark RONNERD good evening, that's another job. Gone keep trying, mo.

Speaker 5 (03:51):

interview with the British journalist Carol Cadwalader on I think

say it one more time, keed Walader. Okay, And she's
done tons of reporting on AI and all the information
that's being scooped up. It's like seventeen minutes long, way
too long to play on the show. But I'm going
to send that to you and then we'll talk and

(04:12):
I'll expect your apology and I will accept it graciously.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Thank you for sending me confirmation bias. That's very nice. No, no,
no facts, it's called facts. And now that mark she'll
be gone soon.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
To be replaced.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
That's going to be replaced. Oh no, you're both mistaken.
You're not going to replace somebody like her. She's a
real one. Oh so they all say the.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Moment you think you're irreplaceable, the front of the line

those days where you just get to work. It's like
ef it. You know, whatever happens happens. Whatever happens tonight,
I'm not responsible for Even though my name is on
the show, I'm not responsible for it. You might have
to blame Tuala. I didn't even look at the run
all these stories.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
For the first time. I'm saying, I have no idea
what's on the show tonight. I'm just reading it.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
Okay? So this one is going to be the sprit zero.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Well, let me just say this. I was going to
talk about air quality. Let me just say very quickly,
it's bad all over.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
You gonna die. Okay, now there you go.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Okay, So we got spright zero Pineapple, We've got fresh
lemonade with mango and pineapple, the Meals of Misfortune, which
is between Wednesday from in a Netflix and Wendy's. So
this is going to be the vanilla version, and I've
got the chocolate version coming up.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, all right, So I'm this is the Penia Colada.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Uh no, just that's that's sprite and pineapple.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
All right? Which is the one with the Pina Colada.
I'm getting cold in the rain.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
I don't drink.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Okay, well you should have told me that, like, and
then I could have brought some and I could have
getten gotten lit in the studio on the air.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, children don't try this at home, all right.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
So I had the pina colada and this is now
what the pink one.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's no, it's not pink. That's the vanilla Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
In my eyes and my rods and cones are calling
this pink, it's that's vanilla.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Yeah, I want to see if you can tell what
flavor it is before I tell you what.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
It's kind of thicken and the viscus it's thick.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's kind of like frosty and yeah and hard to
take down. Shame on you, Hillary, you.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Just got subpoanut today. Hush, you have bigger fish to fry.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
Mm hmm, any idea.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's vanilla E and strawberry E at least my taste buds. Yeah,
I get a little vanilla, little strawberry. I mean I
have swallowed worse things.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Okay, so it is going to be the vanilla frosty
with sour cherry is what you're getting. So it's kind
of that's why you're getting that, like robotustin e adjacent flavor,
but I think it dogs really well with the vanilla.
But oh really okay, thick, Okay, I get you right,
the viscus nest of it.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
But the flavor flav.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
You've got that, and then the one I've got also
the chocolate frosty with the same sour cherry that I'll
be hooking up here shortly.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
So that's where we're at. All of a sudden, we
just turned into the fork report.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well no, I mean it is thick, and it's cherry like,
and it has a darker color, well, you know, the
black of the berry. That's what I'm saying. I was
you literally you beat me to it. Sorry, beat me
to it. I was about to get there. Okay, for
our non mellenated fans listening, there's an old saying called
the black of the berry, the sweeter the juice that

(12:25):
I was literally it was like literally, I was about saying,
it's I mean, you know, mo black of the berry.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, okay, see, sorry, I didn't mean to take that
from you. Man.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Okay, this is the the lemony pineapple thinging.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
One that was just sprite and.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Why is it yellow? Never mind? Never mind?

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Crazy?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Okay, look it if you are not well, if you
have been drinking a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Mixing all these flavors is not good.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I needed a palate cleanser before going to each one.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Mark, I like this. Yeah, let's have some more as
m R. While you're at it too. Yeah, there you go,
that's what we need.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
This.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh, this this pineapple looking sprite one? This is this
is good.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's the sprighte limonade. And what would you mix with
that back in the day, I mean probably it was
just a clear liquor. Yeah, it would have been a
clear liquor. I would put like vodka jin in this one.

Speaker 8 (13:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
I would have put straight up like white lightning or
ever clear clear grain alcohol.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah. Perfect. Both of these soda looking things are definitely
mixes with.

he hit me back froner. He was at dinner with
his wife and he's like, hey, oh, what time? What
time do you want to do this?

Well, it's also because these are thirty five.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Or no, but I'm just saying, you know, I think
that's the one you want the brown liquor with right there.
That would Yeah, it's kind of like a like a
white Russian or something.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I really like this though, because you blow up chocolate
and then you taste the cherry. This would go good
with with any one of those dark liquor flavor, like
you know Bailey's, you know, just because Bailey's go good
with rum like like stuff like this, Yeah, like a liqueur, Yeah,
like a lookord like this one will be fire with
the liquor. Now again, I don't drink. I stay away

(15:29):
from the devil uh in the bottle? Excuse me, do
not do not suble the devil's name like that. Look,
liquor is the devil in a bottle.

Speaker 5 (15:38):
This means when we send you to the liquor story,
you're not gonna take any for yourself.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Everybody wins. That is true.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
If we over ever win anywhere together, he'd be our
designated driver.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh that's gonna happen. That will happen.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, because Mark and I and probably Stephan.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
We're gonna get lit.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I remember y'all got lit at the movie when ye Hey, we'll.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Be at the bar when you get. Yeah, but that
was like that was a good hour and a half. Yeah,
like three hours.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, there was no buzz by the time that movie
was over. That's for darn sure.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
It was a buzzkill. Oh yeah, which movie was that week?

Speaker 5 (16:15):
Man?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh no, no, no, no Aquaman, no Alcham That was a
black Fury Road.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
No, no, it's Ferry Road. Fery old.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
When we got there early and we were sitting there like, oh,
this is taking all the joy out of the drink.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh yeah, that was a long movie.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
When we come back, we want to tell you about
this flea borne virus outbreak which is endangering Nick Poliochini
in the city of Long Beach. KFI AM six forty
were live everywhere and you got to check us out
on YouTube at mister Kelly on YouTube, and we're on
Facebook and Instagram.

Speaker 7 (16:47):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty K five.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Mister mo Kelly, we're live on YouTube and.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I emphasized YouTube because there's a lot of high jinks
going on in the studio right now. Let me just
bring you up to date. Unbeknownst to me, Nick Polyochinni
showed up before the show started. I walked down the
hall minding my own business, and there was this Wendy's bag.
I'm thinking, like, did Tim Conway Junior have Wendy's in

(17:29):
the show before us? Which is not uncommon? Okay, you know,
we might have had some Wendy's brought in for him.
I didn't know. And then Tim walked out of the
studio and he just walked by it didn't acknowledge anything
as far as the food was concerned.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Like, well, I don't know what's going on. I start
the show.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Nick Pollochinni informs me during the first segment that he
brought Wendy's and stuff for me to try. So we
were trying stuff in the second segment, and now he's
just completely hijacked the show and taken over as if
it's like the Nick Poaliochinni show. It's later with Nick.
Now you need to have the bike back? Now do
we need to move it to what's up with Nick Wednesdays?

(18:03):
Is that what I'm hearing.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
No, it's just gonna be later with Nick. Okay, that's fine,
and we do enjoy going to the hallway with Nick.
That's always a good thing too.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
How about this. You do the show for the rest
of the week, and then I'll just stay home. I'm
good with that, Okay.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
I haven't gotten paid for seven months, so why not
let me join it in and you can just do
it and haven't enjoyed a nice paid week off?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
All right?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Twela, you good with that? Mark, You good with that?
If so, Stephan, you're good with that. I'm gonna leave
right now. Nobody will notice, Okay, no, as long as
they get the food. Let me do some of this
serious news real quick so they remember that I'm paying
off my teases. Long Beach is having a time with
localized typhus right about now, and the city has reported

(18:44):
twenty cases as of the thirty first of July, which
is a two thirds increase compared to twelve cases during
the same period last year, and they're expected to surpass
the twenty twenty one record of twenty eight cases in
a single year. In just in case you didn't know,
typhus is a bacterial disease spread by infected fleas carried

(19:07):
by animals like rats, possum and community cats feral cats.
Symptoms include high fever, headache, body aches, rashes, and chills.
Just about every other thing out there which is going
to kill you, you probably feels the same way. But typhus
can be treated with antibiotics, but it can also cause
severe illness if left untreated. And most of the cases

(19:32):
from what I read, occur in the summer and fall months,
with an average of twenty cases, as I said, reported
each year in the city. But it is specifically an
issue in the city.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Of Long Beach right now.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
And if you are a person like me who has
two dogs and you might go out and take them
for a walk, you might have to be a little
bit more conscientious of where you are. My sister lives
in Long Beach and she has a couple of dogs,
and something that I would be mindful of with her
and let her know as this can unwittingly impact a

(20:07):
lot of people. Let's say you have a pet, you
go to meet your your friend or relative in Long
Beach and there's this typhus outbreak in the city of
Long Beach, and before you know it, it's on your
pet or it's on you, and nobody wants to have
that happen. So at least with this information you can
better prepare yourself and better protect yourself.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
And Nick, do you have any pets?

Speaker 4 (20:31):
No, I do not, surprisingly, but I do have my
cousin has a little Chihuahua, and I've got plenty of
family and friends.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Because does your sister have any pets?

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yes, she has two docks. Okay, she has two dogs.
Because I wasn't sure. I felt like it. But no,
there's so many animals, and especially so I live up
in Bixby Oles, which is not I used to live
in east Side, which is the Redondo and seventh dead
center of Long Beach, so definitely being affected by this.
And then Bixby Noles is north of the four h
five and east of the seven ten.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yet a little bit what what a start of dot CO?
Little bit more well to do, slightly more well to do.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
So the funniest part is I'm actually above California Heights
and south of the Carmelitos Project, so I'm like the
one tiny, two block.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Affordable place in the whole area.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
So but yeah, there's so many pets, especially because we're
right over the border from Orange County. As you're making
a way through Long Beach specifically weird.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Specifically you could be in Long Beach and you know
that's definitely La County, and then all of a sudden,
seemingly you're an Orange cat exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
No, I'm right there with you.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
And it's so funny because if you want to find
a place in La if you're tuning in to mister
Mokelly on YouTube and you're not here and you're looking
for a place to visit or you're looking for a
place to move, Long Beach is the perfect split.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Of Orange County in La County.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Why you can't because it's not inexpensive anymore, you're not.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
You're correct on that one.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
And it's funny because where I used to live in
east Side Dead Center, it used to be relatively you know,
I'm thinking I had a sixteen hundred square foot townhouse
like little rental that was three But it's funny because
it was three bedroom, two bath, and at the time
it was sixteen twenty five, so it's pretty much like
a dollar a square foot, right kind of thing. Now

(22:12):
that same unit is going for three k, so that
sounds about right, which is but it's just not like
you're on pine or ocean. No, of course, absolutely, it's
not that kind of view situation. So I mean, it's
said center for all the amazing things in Long Beach,
but you're not getting a view. You're getting the ocean breeze,
which is nice. But do you have a view of
the Grand Prix from.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
My old place? No, my friends.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
I have friends of the Hairpin Turn that I go visit,
and then I also have friends that either lived at
the Current or now at Burano, which is at the
finish line.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
That's kind of cool. Yeah, it's pretty sick, but you know,
you Long Beaches, you're Scott.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
No, I've been, but I haven't like been where I've
had great seats.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
It's fun, it's fun, and it's I like it because
we have the Grand Prix, we have Long Beach Pride.
We have so many music fests that come through Long
Beach now, either at the Queen Mary or Rainbow Harbor.
Long Beach really has always been its own self sustained
city in the County of LA because we have our
own water, fire, trash police, the whole nine that you

(23:11):
need for your own, you know, municipality. But it's really
just kind of that interesting blend. Again, being on the
border with Orange County, You've got some different political views
that roll through the town. And it's and it's pretty apparent.
But I mean Robert Garcia, who's in the news constantly.
He was our former mayor and now he's in Congress,
so you know, and he's been doing a lot, so
I can't complain with that.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
You can't forget Jim McDonald.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Of course you used to see Long Beach PD correct
in La County Sheriff now LAPD.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah, so Long Beach is the I mean for me anyway,
Robert Robert Luna. Yes, we've got Alex Padilla, who is
Long Beach. I'm trying to think, like Long Beach really
is a great jumping off point. Cameron Cameron dis Oh
my god, can I wait, wait, wait, can I tell
you that her aunt lives by Star Star Starling or

(24:02):
I can't remember. There's a little diner in a residential area.
It's been a minute, but I used to see Cameron irregularly,
so it's got a while. Yeah mmmmmmm absolutely. But also
with you talking about the Olympics. Are hearing about the
Olympics earlier here on KFI specifically, we've got so much
coming to Long Beach. We're gonna be hosting, uh several

(24:23):
events for the Olympics. So I mean Long Beach is
where it's at, at least for me anyway. But there's
a lot going on and it's well worth visiting.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
So since you mentioned the Olympics, US come back with
that President Trump has formed an Olympic Task Force and
also release an executive order regarding it.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
We'll hear from President Trump when we come back.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
KFIM six forty live everywhere, they Heart Radio app, and
we're still live on YouTube and social media with our
video simulcast.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty with.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
F Live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and also live
on YouTube. By now, you've probably heard that President Trump
has planned this LA twenty eight Olympic Task Force. He
had an announcement in Washington, DC today talking about the
task force. I'm want to play a little audio from

(25:21):
that for you so you can hear at least what
President Trump has in mind as far as protecting the
LA Olympics.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
And I so honor to have you in this very
nice venue across the street from the White House, and
thank you all for being here as we take a
major step to ensure the United States is fully prepared
to welcome the world to Los Angeles for the twenty
twenty eight Summer Olympic Games. Very exciting day in my
life when we got nominated and we ultimately got it,

(25:54):
and I didn't think I'd be here for the Games
in this capacity, but it worked out that way, so
I'm very happy about that. I had no idea that
was going to happen. When we got it, I said,
too bad, I won't be president. Then sort of we
took a very circuitut route, didn't we. In my first term,

(26:14):
we were instrumental in helping the city of Los Angeles
win the bid to bring the Olympic chorch back to
American soil. And today I will sign an executive order
establishing the White House Task Force on the twenty twenty
eight Summer Olympics, mobilizing the entire federal government to ensure
the Games are safe, seamless, and historically successful.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
It's going to be amazing. I think it's going to
be amazing.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
America is a nation of champions, and in July twenty
twenty eight, we'll show the world what America does best.
And that's when we're winning like we had never won before.
You see that all the time. A year ago, we
were not a country that was doing well, and now
with the hottest.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Country anywhere in the world.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
I want to recognize several members of the task Force,
including our g Vice President JD Vance.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
JD thank you very much. Thank you are equally great.

Speaker 8 (27:08):
Attorney General Pam Bondi, Pam, Thank you very much, Pam.
Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Kerris is Christi R.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Do you know Christy Kurras.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
She's a friend of my great golfer, Christy Noams. She's
a better golfer than you, that's the only thing. But
you've bettered a lot of other things. But I want
to thank you for being here, for doing an unbelievable job,
really an unbelievable job. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Brendan, thank you. Thank you. Brendan done a great job.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wilds most powerful woman

of the world that I agree with that and Deputy
chiefs of Staff Stephen Miller, Steven Steven thank you. What
happened to Stephen? We never want to miss Steven. He's

(28:02):
an MVP candidate. Dan Scavino, another MVP James Blair, Taylor.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Brudovich, and Nick Luna. Thank you all great group of
people and they're going to be very much involved.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
I also, I'm grateful to be joined by two of
Team USA's strongest and fastest competitors, retired gold medalists and
Jim Nast and member of the LA twenty eight Athletes
Council Mustasha Luken Mustasha.

Speaker 7 (28:33):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Mustasa? Thanks? I don't know you, but I've watched you.
You're very talented. I would not want to do what
you do.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
This is much easier, Believe me, it's incredible what you've done,
along with retired gold medal Paralympian swimmer and board member
of the US Olympic Committee Brad Snyder Bred.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Thank you very much, Brad. It's a great honor. Thank you.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
Chairman of the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games, Casey Wasserman,
a friend of mine for a long time. Casey, Thank
you very much. Casey, great job. It's going to be amazing.
LA is a little bit different place than it was
when selected, but we're going to bring it back stronger
than ever. I spoke to Casey about that. He said, nope,

(29:20):
we're going to make it better than ever. It's going
to be something that's going to make it even more
important as the Olympic Games. It was an interesting conversation
we had as the fires were raging.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (29:32):
And I appreciated that very much, and CEO Reynold Hoover Reynold.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Thank you very much, Thank you very much, Grinana.

Speaker 8 (29:41):
I also want to welcome the Chair of the US
Olympic Committee, Gene Sykes. Jean, thank you, Thank you Jean
very much, and thank him for recently banning men from
competing in women's sports.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
That's a big deal. Thank you very much.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
It's amazing that we don't hear in the Applaus that
when everyone feels it to ninety seven, don't worry about
she does in ninety seven three. It's not eighty twenty,
it's ninety seven three, but nobody wants to clap.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
It's crazy.

Speaker 8 (30:11):
The United States will not let men steal trophies from
women at the twenty twenty eight Olympics, so we appreciate
the fairness and anything else that you've shown.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Also with US.

Speaker 8 (30:22):
Today is LA twenty eight board member Rights previous and
also Kevin McCarthy.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
I want to thank Kevin McCarthy and rites.

Speaker 8 (30:30):
Thank you Rince, and thank you Kevin, and the LA
Olympics is shaping up to be a wonderful moment for America.
Is going to be incredible, so exciting, And with today's action,
I'm directing the Department of State, the Department of Justice,
the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Secret Service,
the Department of Transportation, and many other departments and agencies

(30:53):
to use every tool at their disposal to ensure a fantastic, safe,
and beautiful event in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
The Olympics is bringing back.

Our national pastime baseball. Wow, that's great with teams playing
under the lights at the legendary Dodger Stadium, and it
is legendary.

It's beautiful. One of the most beautiful.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
Squash players will go head to head inside the world
famous Universal Studios. Treathletes will sprint beneath the sun shining
down on Venice Beach.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
This will be I.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Think we get the gist of that. I thought he
was going to get more to the point in a
short amount of time. It didn't happen. Well, there you go,
LA twenty eight. The President will head up the task
force overseeing safety here at the Olympics in twenty twenty eight,
three years from now.

part of the conversation and really feel what it's like
in the studio. You get to see the food that

(32:53):
Nick Poliochini is trying to stuff down our throats. You
get to see the surliness of Mark Ronner. He's like,
it's like Scrooge and he's just like he's never happy,
you know, just picking on you Mark as always.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
It's like I'm hearing a police radio and it's like
blah blah blah blah blah, Mark Scrooge.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, what's wrong with you? Just listen for your name? Yeah,
thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Actually, I am going to come to you because you
made mention of this issue last week and we didn't
get into it. As far as why tourism is down
in Las Vegas, let me just give some numbers real quick.
Visits to Las Vegas were down eleven point three percent
in June of this year versus a year before. Traffic

(33:35):
on I fifteen at the California Nevada border was down
four point three percent over the same period. The number
of air travelers into Los Angeles excuse me, into Las
Vegas overall declined six point three percent over the previous June.
Now the question is to what to what should we

(33:57):
ascribe that? And if you didn't know southern Califor when
you provided thirty percent of all visitors to Las Vegas
in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
It would seem since.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
There is this precipitous drop in Las Vegas tourism, it
probably has something to do with fewer Californians choosing Las Vegas.
A report from the World Travel and Tourism Council projected
that the US would lose twelve point five billion in
international travel spending in twenty twenty five. We can hazard

(34:30):
a guess as to why that is. Overall tourism is
down in the United States, but it's down even more
in Las Vegas. And maybe I'm the wrong person to
talk about this because I don't gamble. I've been to
Las Vegas maybe four times in the past three years,
family reunion, business, various stuff. I gambled, not once, not

(34:56):
one hand a blackjack, not one turn of the roulette wheel,
absolutely nothing, not in a sports book. It just doesn't
have anything for me, but for other people, I guess
it does. Oh, Vegas is fun. We used to go
two or three times a year, and it's actually so
sparse now. I suggested we go while it's like the

(35:16):
Omega Man, when there's there's not even anybody to run into.
Now but I do know when I last went to
Las Vegas, I noticed that everything seemed to cost so
much more. It used to be you go to Las
Vegas and you didn't have to pay for parking. It's
almost like they wanted you to find a reason to
come to their casino, and they weren't going to give
you a reason not to come by charging for parking.

(35:37):
Now they charge for parking. The buffets are fewer and
further in between, and the ones that you do have
are much more expensive.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
It's not as economical as it used to be.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
I've been reading about that lately, and people are complaining
a great deal about all the things that used to
be cheap to get you there, the cheap food and
all the good deals, because those are the loss leaders
to get you to spend money in the casino. But
people are charging as much as they can for absolutely
everything there now, and that's what the people who used
to be regulars like me are complaining about.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
The only time I would gamble was to get the
free drinks, and I'm not even sure they do that anymore.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
Were they free?

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Did you leave a tip? You didn't leave a tip?
Did you know I leave a tip?

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Like if I, let's say, on the super rare occasion,
I would either do roulette or in the sports book
because I felt I had a better chance to win
in the sports book following sports and if you put
down a few bets or so, you'd have the waitress
or someone come by and say, hey, can I give
you a drink? Because they know that you're actively spending money,
and if you're actively spending money, at least back in
the day, they'd bring you whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
You want it.

Speaker 9 (36:37):
Yeah, they still do that, but it takes a minute
because they want you to say at that table, so
you can get a drink, and then it'll take another
ten to fifteen minutes before she comes back.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
But I tip as well. I just they come back
sooner if you tip. Yeah, but they approach the first time.
I don't have to go to the other tables as well,
So that's part of it.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
So I'm there for the drinks, you know, I'm for
the drink food, not the gambling. And if the gambling
will help me get to the drinks and food, then okay.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah. I was never a high roller there.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
I could spend a few hours at a blackjack table
without losing my shirt and if I were one hundred
or two hundred bucks up or down, either way, I
just leave.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
I'm trying to think that the most money I won
in Vegas, and it was at the sports book.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
It wasn't at a table.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I've never spent a lot of money at the table,
like fifty dollars here, fifty dollars there. Most likely roulette,
because I can handle the odds on roulette, you know,
red or black odd or even I can handle that.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
It's too random. You don't have any saying it. That's
why blackjack, at least you have the illusion of making
choices that affect the outcome. But do you because it's
four decks now, Yeah. I mean, like I said, I
was never a high roller. My stakes were so small
that it's like, okay, if I lose, it's basically somebody's
lunch money, and then I know when to quit. I think,
and I can't be sure.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I think the first time I went to Vegas was
in the late nineteen eighties.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Or early nineteen nineties.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Yeah, because I wasn't allowed to gamble this, so I
had to have been the early nineteen nineties, and I
think they were using two decks back then, but I
know they're at least four decks now.

Speaker 9 (38:10):
You're not going to count the cars, Yeah, some of
them are now, Yeah, Because I mean, that's what sucks
about blackjack is it's the most common game, but the
half the time the minimum is like twenty bucks a hand, right,
so you're out after you know, a hundred bucks after.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Four And I don't like betting money that I'm going
to think about losing. You know, they say, don't better
unless you're cool with lose. Yeah, you're in the wrong city. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. That's what Vegas doesn't have any
real appeal for me. I don't like the idea of
five seconds of fun because you want to go with
that exactly. I am making a direct comparison. Okay, I'm right,

(38:46):
I'm because you do a hand of blackjack, you could
bust real quick.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Okay, that's what.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I thought you were going to say, more than twenty one. Okay,
let's just end this segment. I'm not gonna be able
to get back. Tourism is down in Las Vegas. Has
a lot to do with people from California not going
to Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
How did they change that? I think you have to
change Las Vegas more than anything.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
It's not as economical as it used to be, and
I don't know if it has as much allure for
younger people.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
I went one time for New Year's Eve. I would
never go back again. Oh that sounds like good.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
What I miss is the places where you could get
like a big prime rib dinner for four dollars because
they knew you were going to gamble. You know, they
have back opinions on the old old strip. I like
those old places, and I even like I think it
was the either the Sahara or the Sands when when
they turned it into a trashy NASCAR themed outfit. Those

(39:44):
were the places where you could go to like a
five dollars black JA table and you could you could
afford to learn. I realized that my learning curve was
a little too steep when the when the croup he
had the dealer was like, are you sure you want.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
To do that?

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
When they say it's like they know something you don't.

Speaker 6 (40:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I almost forgot the legalized prostitution. That was the best.
