Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Mister mo Kelly here with mister Nick polyo' keiny as
we find out what the hell he's been up to?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Nick, What have you been up to?
Speaker 4 (00:12):
I've been up to a lot, in fact, as I
got to jump in and be the disembodied voice last segment.
If you want to learn more about the poultryg Heist House,
you can always check out the podcast when it gets
posted for Later with mo Kelly, or you can go
to link in bio at this week of a Nick
or Nick pollio'keaney. I've got all the details of how
you can go and live out your poultritgic icet dreams
or I know that you don't want to, no, sir,
(00:34):
I'm just saying I've got options for you. So, but
checking out what's been going on for me? And I
kind of teased it a little bit last week, but
summer ween is in full effect. And the question that
a lot of people ask is, Okay, this is a
ridiculous term. I don't understand, but why are Halloween things
coming out right after the fourth of July? Well, actually,
you have one of my favorite companies a Walt Disney
(00:54):
company to think for that. Back in twenty twelve on
Disney Channel, Gravity Falls, which is a really entertaining animated series,
had a fictional holiday that was known as Summer Weeen,
and it took place on June twenty second, the second
to last Friday of June, usually somewhere in that ballpark.
And even though that is something that was not heavily
(01:15):
focused on, it is something that more and more people
have kind of glammed onto over glommed onto over the years,
and so this year especially, and you can see I
am wearing my Midsummer Scream attire and I have already
got my spooky If you're visiting or following us on
mister Mokelly on YouTube, or if you're with us on Facebook,
or if you're on Instagram, you can say I got
my scared Mickey hat on. A lot of things actually
(01:38):
kicking off this weekend. So Midsummer Scream is an event
that I talked about every year, and it's amazing it's
in Long Beach, but it really for a good number
of years, almost fifteen years, was the start of the
Halloween season in the south Land because it's Halloween, Horror
and Haunt and it takes place at the Convention Center.
(01:59):
You can still get tickets and you can get all
the details about it on social media. This week of
a Nick or Nick Polliochini. But it is one of
those things where you get a lot of previews. Now,
this year's been really different and interesting, and I only
say that because more and more conventions are happening around
the country that are covering all these details. So used
to be John Murdy, who's the creative director with Universal
(02:21):
Studios Hollywood, would always tease all the mazes and the
haunts and the Scara zones that were coming to Universal Studios. Well,
if you follow him on social media, you follow Universal Studios,
you can see that they pretty much have announced everything,
including Blumhouse's fifteenth anniversary, celebrating that with a special edition
Terror Tram, and all of the different mazes have been
(02:43):
released for Universal Studios. But Midsummer Scream used to be
the kickoff for at least the South Land of everything
Halloween based. Pretty much anything that goes bump in the
night would start out here and it used to be
smacked down in the middle of July. It's kind of
moved around here and there, but summer ween this year,
if you go to Michael's, if you go to any
of the craft stores, hobby lobby, even to a certain extent,
(03:03):
you're already seeing the Halloween stuff out, and Michaels has
had a really unique series of things available for you
because it's all been Halloween based, and even back to
the Gravity Falls reference, obviously, pumpkins aren't in season during
the summer, so it was watermelons and pineapples and larger
melons and fruits that were carved to bea the Jack
(03:24):
of Lanterns. But for Midsummer Scream you can head down
to the Convention Center in Long Beach. Tickets are still
available for Friday, which is great. It's right after work,
head on down. So much fun happening for that six
until ten pm. And then on Sunday you can also
check it out that's open. There are VIP tickets still
available for the entire weekend. The weekend passes have sold out.
They're very, very popular and you can check out so
(03:46):
much so. Some of the things that will be happening
are live podcasts that have to do around maybe Poultergeist
or something fun about people that are haunting and doing
things in that effect. But also you'll be able to
see what's coming to not Scary Farm, You'll be able
to see fright Fest and six Flag is Magic Mountain,
all the different things that are happening. But also even
cooler is home Haunts. So if you follow me on
(04:08):
social media, you've seen how I deck my house out
for the holiday season, both Halloween and Christmas. Lots of inflatables,
lots of decorations. But this gives you that opportunity to
really get out there and kind of immerse yourself a
little bit early. Plus, what they do have is Hall
of Shadows, which is about two acres worth of mini haunts,
so a lot of them are either presented. Lionsgate will
(04:29):
be there and having a horror from Lionsgate Films represented
the second year that they've done this. Also, you'll have
a lot of the local home haunts that will have
small representations of what you can expect come September or
October when the Halloween season does go into full effect. Now,
not just this weekend is their Midsummer Scream happening in
Long Beach, but it is incredible to think that Halloween
(04:51):
time as of not this Friday, but next Friday will
officially be descending on the Disneyland Resort. Now I will
be getting a special preview because I will be attending
the very first night of Ogie Boogie Bash, which is
the special after hours Disneyland after Dark event that happens
a good number of nights, starting really early this year,
the seventeenth Sunday of August and then going all the
(05:14):
way straight on through until the thirty first for of October,
so all the way through Halloween. And this is where
you get to experience things from maybe a more so
villain's perspective from the Walt Disney Company, so Oki Boogie
if you're not familiar from Nightmare Before Christmas, he is
the leader of the pack and he really takes over
Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort. But you'll
(05:35):
be able to meet so many villains from so many
different films. This year, there will be two brand new
villains that will be joining the lineup. It looks like
it might be somebody from The Incredibles and from Pixar,
which is kind of cool. And also you'll have a
lot of returning folks. You'll have people from Agatha was
there and she will be back representing from Agatha all
(05:58):
along from Marvel. You'll have they had a zombie cap
from Marble back in the day. The only thing that
we don't have, which is a little surprising to me. Now, granted,
Disney Calviny Adventure Park does not have a lot of
Star Wars representation, but I am really surprised that we
haven't gotten like Darth Maul or any of the villains,
even just Darth Vader obviously, but you can always visit
(06:18):
them across the Esplanade over at Disneyland Park back on
Galaxy's Edge. You can go off plan and check that out.
So this weekend has a lot going on. Even if
you're looking for and I always try to focus on
free ninety nine things for us, Downtown Disney is going
to be the closest option for you there because you'll
be able to enjoy as of not this Friday, but
the following Friday, Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, which
(06:40):
includes live music, special installs. Right now, you can get
ready for Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit, which is where you'll be
able to take and find a scavenger hunt of different
pumpkins that have been carved of Disney characters or painted
of Disney characters throughout the downtown area. So you don't
even need admission to go to the park. Sure it's
ten dollars for parking, but anymore that seems to be
(07:02):
kind of basic, and we're used to it, but it's
one of those opportunities because things really start changing and
there's a different magic in the air. It is hot
as hades, as we are well aware, especially as we
continue into and through August and September getting into October.
But it's really nice to have everything here and be
beginning that whole experience because the next I don't know
(07:25):
what's up with Nick's are going to be filled with
all sorts of things involving Halloween, Dark Harbor's returning to
the Queen Mary in Long Beach. We will also have
again fright Fest at six Flags, but I'll also be
heading up to Las Vegas and I'll be experiencing which
is opening this Thursday, is going to be Universal Horror
Unleashed and that is a brand new year round event
(07:48):
that happens at Area fifteen across from Las Vegas Strip.
So it's a lot going on. And I think as
we talked about with Poltergeist being you know, the house
being redone, there's this dogic element and there's something with
the world's scary enough as it is, if you will,
so being able to lean into something a little bit
more supernatural and maybe a little bit more fanciful seems
(08:10):
to kind of be where we're at right now.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Sounds like fun.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I want you to go, I cannot go. The worst
part is I can get can you? Will you do
anything scary or just not the like the actual genuine
things like.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'm not going to a house that is going to
scare the bejeezus out of me.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Okay, I won't take you to like seventeenth Door in
Orange County, which is one of those things we have
to sign your life away to go through the experience.
But like, have you ever done Universal Studios no horror Nights?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Would you do? Okay? Nope?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, nope, no sir? All right, looks like I'm stuck
with you, Mark. I tell people I don't even watch
horror movies anymore. Right, the present iteration of horror movies,
which is different from poultry guys, what it was in
nineteen eighty two. Now it's like jump scares and things
that just I don't I don't need that on my heart.
You just watched Weapons. What are you talking about? That's
(09:00):
not jump scares? It really isn't okay, you've seen the
movie Mark, It's not jump scares.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's a horror film.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's not horror like like like Megan or something like
that with Gore and everything.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's not okay.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
So you're looking for the psychological thriller. It's more aware. No, no, no,
I understand that for me. We were talking off air
and in the hallway. Sorry it wasn't on for everybody,
but talking about Poltergeist in both the Exorcists, like there's
so much mental around and there was. In fact, what
I do have a giveaway that I'm going to tease, Oh,
you had to stick around all the way through to
the end of What's up with Them?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Free ish, free ish, free ish. It's good.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
But I've got something and I'll talk about that a
little bit more. That definitely leans into the nostalgia gangle
that we're talking about, and some films that you know,
I think everybody here has seen, even Toawala, we were
talking not his favorite necessarily again horror films. But yeah,
so there's something one of a good friend of the show,
a good organization friend of the show has something special
(09:55):
that's coming up for seven weeks in a row, and
we've got to giveaway to share with that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Be sure to stick around more with Nick Poliochee in
just a moment later with Mo Kelly. If I am
six forty live everywhere yar Heart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
k if I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
What's up? What? Thanks?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Key? What kay?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk you're listening
to later with Mo Kelly, I'm Nick polio Channy. Part
two of What's Up with Nick? Going down for you
in the south Land. We already talked about summer ween
and Halloween things underway, but let's go into a little
bit more, maybe a bit softer for you. Uh And
this is something We've been talking about a couple of
weeks here, So I'm gonna go a little bit deeper
(10:58):
died because I actually did get out to the Orange
County Fair and it is the final weekend, meaning that
starting tomorrow Wednesday through Sunday will be the wrap up
for this year's edition of the Orange County Fair. Find
you're happy. It started back in July and runs all
the way through the seventeenth. But this is one of
those things that it is at. It's in Coast to Mesa,
(11:18):
which if you are familiar with that heading down the
four oh five, let me be traffic reporter briefly with
you four h five at the fifty five heading south
on the fifty five tour Newport Beach, coming out of
the Santa Ana area, not too far from South Coast Plaza,
which is one of the places that we talked about
earlier here on later with mo Kelly. But the OC Fair,
while it is just a massive parking lot truly, that
is in the middle of Coast to Mesa, what they've
(11:41):
done is really make something special. And they do the
same at the Ella County Fair over in Pomona, and
they've also done the same down at the Delmar Fairgrounds
in San Diego. But specifically for the OC Fair, I
went to one of the more unique exhibits that was
there that was dedicated to what used to be the
Santa Ana Army Air Base, and that is Heroes Hall
(12:02):
that you can go visit.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
This is something here on KFI we always focus on veterans,
and it was really unique to be able to see
a spot. In fact, even more so if you're in
a baseball Jodomaggio was stationed here in southern California during
World War Two and that was something I had no
idea about. But so Heroes Hall is something that is
available year round. It's just outside of the Pacific Amphitheater,
(12:24):
which is the outdoor music venue and kind of entertainment
venue that you can enjoy there. But it also has
lots of air conditioning, great bathrooms. But you get to
learn about exactly how this area, the OC Fairgrounds used
to be this specific spot where the airbase used to be.
In fact, just north of where you see the fair
and grounds now is where the actual airstrip was. And
(12:45):
so it's interesting to think that in the middle of
Orange County we have such a historical connection with World
War One, World War two, Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
All of those have had certain tie ins to Orange County.
But the fair is pretty much our local. I mean,
even the Ventura Fair just wrapped up past weekend. This
(13:06):
is the end for us here in Orange County. They
have so much going on and it's really fun. I
took my cousins have Some of the cousins were in
from Pennsylvania, so that was kind of fun to be
able to show them around. But going to the Orange
County Fair because of the ocean breezes coming in from Newport,
it's really nice, even though it is hot. It's hot,
(13:27):
but you've got five dollars tastes of the fair before
four o'clock any day Monday through Sunday. Sorry, Wednesday through Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday, the fair is closed. Wednesday through Sunday
is when you'll be able to visit. But it's cool
to go into some of the pavilions that have competitions.
So Mondo, who used to be here with KFI with
his famous guacamole, he has competed at the Orange County Fair.
(13:49):
He's done Ella County Fair, Orange County Fair, San Diego
County Fair, and a couple other competitions. But it's so
cool to go and see exactly what people are doing
in our own backyard and really be able to connect
with that. So I encourage you if you're looking for
something to wrap up your summer experience before the kids
go back, or maybe even if the kids are back
and you want that one little break before things get
(14:10):
a little too crazy. Oc Fair is a great opportunity
for that. If you're looking for a date night, you
may want to head over into Long Beach because the
Museum of Latin American Art on Wednesdays has been doing
a dance class, So that is something that you can
go and check out, not just the museum itself, but
you can also check out a really fun activity to
do in the evening on Wednesdays. Bachata is this week
(14:33):
and then it continues into and through September. I was
messaging with Mario in the chat room the Momigos on
YouTube for later with mo Kelly or mister Mokelly on YouTube,
and we were talking about Splash House, which is a
unique music festival that's happening this weekend, is weekend two,
and it is in Palm Springs, which seems to be
between Coachella and Stagecoach and everything else, but this one
(14:54):
actually takes place at four different venues, three of them
being resorts and specifically at the pool. So even though
so it is real hot in the Palm Springs area,
you've got a way to cool off, not just the beats,
but also hop in the pool. And then, as I
teased before, something really fun for me. As we've kind
of already talked about horror films here a Nightmare on
(15:15):
Elm Street. All seven films in the collection have been
re released in four K, and our friends at the
Alamo Draft House in downtown LA have offered us two
sets of tickets for you to either be able to
check this out or any other show that is going
on down there. The thing that's exciting about this one
two Freddy's coming for you is if you're a fan
(15:38):
of horror films, if you want to get that summer
ween in effect a Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be
able to starting on August twenty ninth, so the last
Wednesday of the month, and for the seven subsequent Wednesdays,
you'll actually be able to head to the Alamo Draft
House in downtown LA and experience the full four K
re representation preach, I should say, Nightmare on Alm the Street.
(16:02):
So you've got all seven films in it, So yeah,
I think it's a lot of there's a lot of
stuff going on, and I'm really excited to bring you
guys so much more. So don't you have something to
give away? Oh yeah, two tickets. Two sets of tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You're ready to give away. Oh yeah, Well let's give
them away, all right, boy.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So let's take callers five and six. I know what
I'm doing. I'm just waiting for you to know. No, I
got it, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So there's that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Uh, And I'll catch you next week Caller five and
the six, and you will win two tickets.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Eat.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
So each five, caller five, collor six you'll get two
tickets to go check out either this or anything else
at Alamo Draft House in downtown La.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Caller five, Caller six, you and a guest Alamo Draft House,
two tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Forty KFI Mister Mokeler.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We're live everywhere on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
And What's Happening wasn't one of the biggest sitcoms of
the late nineteen seventies, but it was pretty damn popular.
And Danielle Spencer, who played d Thomas, the smart ass kid,
who was basically smarter than everyone around her in a
character sense. Her comebacks, her clapback game was legendary back then.
(17:31):
She passed away today at the age of sixty years old.
But what's more important, I think is to highlight highlight
what happened in her real life. She passed away at
the age of sixty due to cancer. They didn't specify
as far as what type of cancer. But if you
do anything about her life, she endured a lot of
tragedy and there was some triumph along the way. Back
(17:53):
in nineteen seventy seven, she survived a car crash that
killed her stepfather yet left her in a coma for
three weeks. She went on later to earn a veterinary
medicine degree from Tuskegee in nineteen ninety three. So when
I referred to her as doctor Danielle Spencer, that's why
she was someone who was one of those child actors
(18:16):
of the late nineteen seventies who managed to escape personal
tragedy in the way that a lot of her peers
were unable. If you think about the sitcoms of the
nineteen seventies, from Gary Coleman to Todd Bridges and others
who were not as lucky kind of surviving that cycle
(18:38):
of child stars having all sorts of bad press, as
it were, Danielle Spencer didn't have that, and she walked
away from television and Hollywood to a large degree, And
her last acting role was in two thousand and one
on an episode of Days of Our Lives.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But she was a very successful.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Veterinarian and she lived her life largely out of the spotlight. Now,
if you were familiar with her and her history as
a child star, yes she was well known in that regard.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yes she was recognizable.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
She did not run away from her character of d
But at the same time, she didn't feel obligated to
relive that part of her life or keep chasing after
that part of her life. And just in case you
may not remember d here is some d Well.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
How'd you make out, little miss Rockefeller? Hey, looks like
a pretty good haul.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
Yeah, not as good as Christmas, but better than Halloween. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I just love this.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh that's from Roger. Eh he knows thena you. Hey,
I hope you like my gift.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
Oh, this diary is great. You want to hear what
I've written so far?
Speaker 8 (19:57):
No, no, no, you're not supposed to tell anybody what
you're writing.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
You're di.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Let's just take a peek.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Today, I celebrate my fourteenth birthday.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
My heart raced with fiery passion as Ricardo pressed his
hungry mouth to mine. Two strong arms crushed the breath
from my body as Ricardo help.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Me closer, closer and closer.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
The woo's Ricado nobody, but thirty years from now, who
wants to read Today?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I shook hands with three running So what else did
you get? Well? This is this thing I got from
a little earld What is that? I think it's a necklace. No,
it looks like a fleet collar. Fuck gozoo. I know
(21:01):
a little Aroun'll such a nice little kid, and I
don't want to hurt his feelings. Yeah, so what you're
gonna do the decent thing? Tomorrow? I'm gonna take it
back and get the money.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Doctor Danielle Spencer gone at the age of sixty years old.
It's later with bo Kelly. When we come back, we'll
check in with George Norry and find out what's going
on with Coast to Coast AM and also I'll have
my final thought.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You're listening to. Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Six forty It's Later with Mo Kelly. We are live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Coming up in just a
few moments will be Coast to Coast AM with George Norri.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
George, how you doing, sir, Great Mo.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Fascinating program tonight coming up on the forty eighth anniversary
of the death of Elvis Presley. We're going to talk
about that then later on the show Ancient Mysteries forty
eight years.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I remember the original news reports.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I was a kid, but I remember it because and
if you're not old enus, remember there are a few
moments in which a story just takes over all news,
especially back then, and that was just one of the stories.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
It just shocked everyone.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
It was huge, forty two years old. We'll have it
all tonight on Coast to Coach.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I'll definitely be listening again. OK, talk soon and before
we get out of here. And I do remember because, yeah,
it was nineteen seventy seven, and when the news came
across because I was I'm in a musical family. I
remember Elvis Presley in that regard and the news that
he passed away at forty two and the thing that
I've lived thirteen years longer than Elvis, because I thought
(22:38):
back then forty two was old.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
It was old.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That it's a distant memory, but yeah, that was That
was a tremendous piece of news back then. So I
definitely want to tune in and listen to George talk
about it. Here's my final thought tonight. It's not that long,
but I may hit some things twice. If you didn't know,
there are some published reports, Mark, I don't know if
(23:04):
you've even seen this, you should be on the lookout
for it. There's some published reports tonight that convicted sex
trafficker Glaine Maxwell has reportedly been cleared to leave prison
on work release.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You heard that, right, cleared to leave prison on work release.
This is after being granted a sweetheart prison reassignment to
some minimum security federal facility. Can we be just be honest,
you just why don't we skip to the end and
give up Gelaye Maxwell her pardon, because that's where all
(23:39):
of this is headed. But did you know that by law,
Maxwell is not eligible for minimum security detention because of
the nature of her conviction. You can't be a convicted
sex trafficker in the way that Maxwell is and get
minimum security. Yet here we are she's not eligible for
(23:59):
work release either, and yet say it with me, here
we are. I get how everybody wants the truth to
come out regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Well maybe not everybody, but
most bodies like me, I'm one of these people. But
I don't get how Congress passes out subpoenas regarding Jeffrey
Epstein when there's already an adjudicated case to go by.
(24:21):
Victims have testified in regard to Kelan Maxwell, who was
later convicted, there's really nothing to investigate, per se. Everyone's
pretty much on record. And I don't get how Congress
wants to speak to Bill and Hillary Clinton more so
(24:41):
than any of the victims of Maxwell or Maxwell herself.
And don't get me wrong, Bill Clinton definitely can and
should offer up testimony. Okay, let's be clear on this,
but so can Donald Trump. I mean, you don't get
to be one of Epstein's former best friends for years
and not be on the list at least to offer
(25:03):
a few words. You know, where'd you go, where'd you
hang out? Did you see anything?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Did you know?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Former best friends that's what you're supposed to do. Instead
we get the Geelane Maxwell gift giving season. After meeting
privately with Trump's former personal attorney, Now DOJ deputy as
they say, it doesn't pass the smell test. Can we
tell the truth? But sure, let's deflect with federalizing Washington,
(25:38):
d C. Instead, Let's have the FBI and the National
Park Service and the National Guard helped patrol the streets
of the nation's capital. I'm not exaggerating that is actually
happening because supposedly DC crime is so out of control,
or or let me offer this as an alternative, it's not.
It's the lowest that's been in thirty years, thirty years.
(26:00):
This is not arguable. In fact, I was in DC
thirty years ago. I know something about this. DC isn't
even in the top ten as far as worst crime
ridden cities. You don't have to take my word for it.
It's inarguable. I visit Washington, d C. Every year without fail.
I talk about DC constantly on this show. I know DC.
(26:25):
I went to college in DC. My sister went to
college in DC. Both my parents went to college in DC.
I still have relatives who live in DC. I still
have friends that I went to college with in DC.
I know Washington District of Columbia. I was there during
the crack epidemic when kids were killing each other over sneakers.
(26:47):
That really was happening while I was in DC. I
know what DC was like when it was at its worst.
I was there a junior in college when then Mayor
Mary and Barry was caught in an FBI sting smoke
crack on video. I was there when Washington, d C.
Was the murder capital as well as the nation's capital. Washington,
(27:10):
DC today is nothing approaching what it was then, not
even close. But when everything is about politics, nothing matters.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I must say.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's rather strange that the President managed to call in
the National Guard for the purpose of protecting Washington, DC
on Monday, but somehow couldn't do it on January sixth.
I'm just putting that out there because I thought it
was Nancy nevermind. I'm here to tell you the Speaker
of the House did not then and will not have
any role in summoning the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
That was proven once again on Monday.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The big picture is that calling in the National Guard
to do nothing here in LA was just a testing ground.
Now the Guard has been called in to do nothing
in Washington, d C, which is geographically the size of Irvine,
about sixty seven square miles.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
That's it. That's Irvine.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Presently, the FBI, the National Park Service, the Secret Service,
the Metro Police, the Capitol Police, and the National Guard
are all presently patrolling the sixty eight square miles of
what equates to Irvine, California. Have you ever wondered why
(28:28):
there's no crime per se in North Korea, or at
least to the best of our knowledge, there's no crime
because it's an authoritarian police state. Have you ever wondered
why there is no terrorism in North Korea?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Same reason.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What's not often discussed is how freedom and a police
state don't really work well together. What is going to
happen in DC is textbook police state. If you don't
live in DC, it won't matter to you. You get
to sit at home and point at the TV and say, yes,
that's what I voted for. I want less crime in America.
(29:02):
I want our nation's capital to not deal with so
much crime. The details just don't matter to you. If
you aren't familiar with DC, it won't resonate with you.
Because it's about politics. It's not about people. I'm not
against being tough on crime. I am, though, very much
against performative law enforcement. It's not sustainable and likely won't
(29:24):
be impactful long term. Something else people may not consider.
When you marshal all these federal resources for just Washington, DC,
they're not being utilized in their intended capacity. It plays
well on TV, I get the why. But when you
start pulling FBI agents and National Park Service agents and
Secret Service and Department of Treasury agents from their intended duties,
(29:48):
then other things fall apart. Other things are left vulnerable.
But let's not kid ourselves about how either how dangerous
DC is in twenty twenty five or how federalizing DC
law enforcement is either necessary or warranted, because it's an either.
This is theater. It's a traveling show which will leave
(30:12):
DC after two weeks or so and then onto Chicago
or some other democratically led urban center for the next performance.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I know DC.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
This is not necessary for k IF. I am six forty,
I'm Moe Kelly.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
KSI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
More stimulating talk
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Mister mo Kelly here with mister Nick polyo' keiny as
we find out what the hell he's been up to?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Nick, What have you been up to?
Speaker 4 (00:12):
I've been up to a lot, in fact, as I
got to jump in and be the disembodied voice last segment.
If you want to learn more about the poultryg Heist House,
you can always check out the podcast when it gets
posted for Later with mo Kelly, or you can go
to link in bio at this week of a Nick
or Nick pollio'keaney. I've got all the details of how
you can go and live out your poultritgic icet dreams
or I know that you don't want to, no, sir,
(00:34):
I'm just saying I've got options for you. So, but
checking out what's been going on for me? And I
kind of teased it a little bit last week, but
summer ween is in full effect. And the question that
a lot of people ask is, Okay, this is a
ridiculous term. I don't understand, but why are Halloween things
coming out right after the fourth of July? Well, actually,
you have one of my favorite companies a Walt Disney
(00:54):
company to think for that. Back in twenty twelve on
Disney Channel, Gravity Falls, which is a really entertaining animated series,
had a fictional holiday that was known as Summer Weeen,
and it took place on June twenty second, the second
to last Friday of June, usually somewhere in that ballpark.
And even though that is something that was not heavily
(01:15):
focused on, it is something that more and more people
have kind of glammed onto over glommed onto over the years,
and so this year especially, and you can see I
am wearing my Midsummer Scream attire and I have already
got my spooky If you're visiting or following us on
mister Mokelly on YouTube, or if you're with us on Facebook,
or if you're on Instagram, you can say I got
my scared Mickey hat on. A lot of things actually
(01:38):
kicking off this weekend. So Midsummer Scream is an event
that I talked about every year, and it's amazing it's
in Long Beach, but it really for a good number
of years, almost fifteen years, was the start of the
Halloween season in the south Land because it's Halloween, Horror
and Haunt and it takes place at the Convention Center.
(01:59):
You can still get tickets and you can get all
the details about it on social media. This week of
a Nick or Nick Polliochini. But it is one of
those things where you get a lot of previews. Now,
this year's been really different and interesting, and I only
say that because more and more conventions are happening around
the country that are covering all these details. So used
to be John Murdy, who's the creative director with Universal
(02:21):
Studios Hollywood, would always tease all the mazes and the
haunts and the Scara zones that were coming to Universal Studios. Well,
if you follow him on social media, you follow Universal Studios,
you can see that they pretty much have announced everything,
including Blumhouse's fifteenth anniversary, celebrating that with a special edition
Terror Tram, and all of the different mazes have been
(02:43):
released for Universal Studios. But Midsummer Scream used to be
the kickoff for at least the South Land of everything
Halloween based. Pretty much anything that goes bump in the
night would start out here and it used to be
smacked down in the middle of July. It's kind of
moved around here and there, but summer ween this year,
if you go to Michael's, if you go to any
of the craft stores, hobby lobby, even to a certain extent,
(03:03):
you're already seeing the Halloween stuff out, and Michaels has
had a really unique series of things available for you
because it's all been Halloween based, and even back to
the Gravity Falls reference, obviously, pumpkins aren't in season during
the summer, so it was watermelons and pineapples and larger
melons and fruits that were carved to bea the Jack
(03:24):
of Lanterns. But for Midsummer Scream you can head down
to the Convention Center in Long Beach. Tickets are still
available for Friday, which is great. It's right after work,
head on down. So much fun happening for that six
until ten pm. And then on Sunday you can also
check it out that's open. There are VIP tickets still
available for the entire weekend. The weekend passes have sold out.
They're very, very popular and you can check out so
(03:46):
much so. Some of the things that will be happening
are live podcasts that have to do around maybe Poultergeist
or something fun about people that are haunting and doing
things in that effect. But also you'll be able to
see what's coming to not Scary Farm, You'll be able
to see fright Fest and six Flag is Magic Mountain,
all the different things that are happening. But also even
cooler is home Haunts. So if you follow me on
(04:08):
social media, you've seen how I deck my house out
for the holiday season, both Halloween and Christmas. Lots of inflatables,
lots of decorations. But this gives you that opportunity to
really get out there and kind of immerse yourself a
little bit early. Plus, what they do have is Hall
of Shadows, which is about two acres worth of mini haunts,
so a lot of them are either presented. Lionsgate will
(04:29):
be there and having a horror from Lionsgate Films represented
the second year that they've done this. Also, you'll have
a lot of the local home haunts that will have
small representations of what you can expect come September or
October when the Halloween season does go into full effect. Now,
not just this weekend is their Midsummer Scream happening in
Long Beach, but it is incredible to think that Halloween
(04:51):
time as of not this Friday, but next Friday will
officially be descending on the Disneyland Resort. Now I will
be getting a special preview because I will be attending
the very first night of Ogie Boogie Bash, which is
the special after hours Disneyland after Dark event that happens
a good number of nights, starting really early this year,
the seventeenth Sunday of August and then going all the
(05:14):
way straight on through until the thirty first for of October,
so all the way through Halloween. And this is where
you get to experience things from maybe a more so
villain's perspective from the Walt Disney Company, so Oki Boogie
if you're not familiar from Nightmare Before Christmas, he is
the leader of the pack and he really takes over
Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort. But you'll
(05:35):
be able to meet so many villains from so many
different films. This year, there will be two brand new
villains that will be joining the lineup. It looks like
it might be somebody from The Incredibles and from Pixar,
which is kind of cool. And also you'll have a
lot of returning folks. You'll have people from Agatha was
there and she will be back representing from Agatha all
(05:58):
along from Marvel. You'll have they had a zombie cap
from Marble back in the day. The only thing that
we don't have, which is a little surprising to me. Now, granted,
Disney Calviny Adventure Park does not have a lot of
Star Wars representation, but I am really surprised that we
haven't gotten like Darth Maul or any of the villains,
even just Darth Vader obviously, but you can always visit
(06:18):
them across the Esplanade over at Disneyland Park back on
Galaxy's Edge. You can go off plan and check that out.
So this weekend has a lot going on. Even if
you're looking for and I always try to focus on
free ninety nine things for us, Downtown Disney is going
to be the closest option for you there because you'll
be able to enjoy as of not this Friday, but
the following Friday, Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, which
(06:40):
includes live music, special installs. Right now, you can get
ready for Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit, which is where you'll be
able to take and find a scavenger hunt of different
pumpkins that have been carved of Disney characters or painted
of Disney characters throughout the downtown area. So you don't
even need admission to go to the park. Sure it's
ten dollars for parking, but anymore that seems to be
(07:02):
kind of basic, and we're used to it, but it's
one of those opportunities because things really start changing and
there's a different magic in the air. It is hot
as hades, as we are well aware, especially as we
continue into and through August and September getting into October.
But it's really nice to have everything here and be
beginning that whole experience because the next I don't know
(07:25):
what's up with Nick's are going to be filled with
all sorts of things involving Halloween, Dark Harbor's returning to
the Queen Mary in Long Beach. We will also have
again fright Fest at six Flags, but I'll also be
heading up to Las Vegas and I'll be experiencing which
is opening this Thursday, is going to be Universal Horror
Unleashed and that is a brand new year round event
(07:48):
that happens at Area fifteen across from Las Vegas Strip.
So it's a lot going on. And I think as
we talked about with Poltergeist being you know, the house
being redone, there's this dogic element and there's something with
the world's scary enough as it is, if you will,
so being able to lean into something a little bit
more supernatural and maybe a little bit more fanciful seems
(08:10):
to kind of be where we're at right now.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Sounds like fun.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I want you to go, I cannot go. The worst
part is I can get can you? Will you do
anything scary or just not the like the actual genuine
things like.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I'm not going to a house that is going to
scare the bejeezus out of me.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Okay, I won't take you to like seventeenth Door in
Orange County, which is one of those things we have
to sign your life away to go through the experience.
But like, have you ever done Universal Studios no horror Nights?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Would you do? Okay? Nope?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, nope, no sir? All right, looks like I'm stuck
with you, Mark. I tell people I don't even watch
horror movies anymore. Right, the present iteration of horror movies,
which is different from poultry guys, what it was in
nineteen eighty two. Now it's like jump scares and things
that just I don't I don't need that on my heart.
You just watched Weapons. What are you talking about? That's
(09:00):
not jump scares? It really isn't okay, you've seen the
movie Mark, It's not jump scares.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's a horror film.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's not horror like like like Megan or something like
that with Gore and everything.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It's not okay.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
So you're looking for the psychological thriller. It's more aware. No, no, no,
I understand that for me. We were talking off air
and in the hallway. Sorry it wasn't on for everybody,
but talking about Poltergeist in both the Exorcists, like there's
so much mental around and there was. In fact, what
I do have a giveaway that I'm going to tease, Oh,
you had to stick around all the way through to
the end of What's up with Them?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Free ish, free ish, free ish. It's good.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
But I've got something and I'll talk about that a
little bit more. That definitely leans into the nostalgia gangle
that we're talking about, and some films that you know,
I think everybody here has seen, even Toawala, we were
talking not his favorite necessarily again horror films. But yeah,
so there's something one of a good friend of the show,
a good organization friend of the show has something special
(09:55):
that's coming up for seven weeks in a row, and
we've got to giveaway to share with that.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Be sure to stick around more with Nick Poliochee in
just a moment later with Mo Kelly. If I am
six forty live everywhere yar Heart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
k if I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
What's up? What? Thanks?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Key? What kay?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk you're listening
to later with Mo Kelly, I'm Nick polio Channy. Part
two of What's Up with Nick? Going down for you
in the south Land. We already talked about summer ween
and Halloween things underway, but let's go into a little
bit more, maybe a bit softer for you. Uh And
this is something We've been talking about a couple of
weeks here, So I'm gonna go a little bit deeper
(10:58):
died because I actually did get out to the Orange
County Fair and it is the final weekend, meaning that
starting tomorrow Wednesday through Sunday will be the wrap up
for this year's edition of the Orange County Fair. Find
you're happy. It started back in July and runs all
the way through the seventeenth. But this is one of
those things that it is at. It's in Coast to Mesa,
(11:18):
which if you are familiar with that heading down the
four oh five, let me be traffic reporter briefly with
you four h five at the fifty five heading south
on the fifty five tour Newport Beach, coming out of
the Santa Ana area, not too far from South Coast Plaza,
which is one of the places that we talked about
earlier here on later with mo Kelly. But the OC Fair,
while it is just a massive parking lot truly, that
is in the middle of Coast to Mesa, what they've
(11:41):
done is really make something special. And they do the
same at the Ella County Fair over in Pomona, and
they've also done the same down at the Delmar Fairgrounds
in San Diego. But specifically for the OC Fair, I
went to one of the more unique exhibits that was
there that was dedicated to what used to be the
Santa Ana Army Air Base, and that is Heroes Hall
(12:02):
that you can go visit.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
This is something here on KFI we always focus on veterans,
and it was really unique to be able to see
a spot. In fact, even more so if you're in
a baseball Jodomaggio was stationed here in southern California during
World War Two and that was something I had no
idea about. But so Heroes Hall is something that is
available year round. It's just outside of the Pacific Amphitheater,
(12:24):
which is the outdoor music venue and kind of entertainment
venue that you can enjoy there. But it also has
lots of air conditioning, great bathrooms. But you get to
learn about exactly how this area, the OC Fairgrounds used
to be this specific spot where the airbase used to be.
In fact, just north of where you see the fair
and grounds now is where the actual airstrip was. And
(12:45):
so it's interesting to think that in the middle of
Orange County we have such a historical connection with World
War One, World War two, Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
All of those have had certain tie ins to Orange County.
But the fair is pretty much our local. I mean,
even the Ventura Fair just wrapped up past weekend. This
(13:06):
is the end for us here in Orange County. They
have so much going on and it's really fun. I
took my cousins have Some of the cousins were in
from Pennsylvania, so that was kind of fun to be
able to show them around. But going to the Orange
County Fair because of the ocean breezes coming in from Newport,
it's really nice, even though it is hot. It's hot,
(13:27):
but you've got five dollars tastes of the fair before
four o'clock any day Monday through Sunday. Sorry, Wednesday through Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday, the fair is closed. Wednesday through Sunday
is when you'll be able to visit. But it's cool
to go into some of the pavilions that have competitions.
So Mondo, who used to be here with KFI with
his famous guacamole, he has competed at the Orange County Fair.
(13:49):
He's done Ella County Fair, Orange County Fair, San Diego
County Fair, and a couple other competitions. But it's so
cool to go and see exactly what people are doing
in our own backyard and really be able to connect
with that. So I encourage you if you're looking for
something to wrap up your summer experience before the kids
go back, or maybe even if the kids are back
and you want that one little break before things get
(14:10):
a little too crazy. Oc Fair is a great opportunity
for that. If you're looking for a date night, you
may want to head over into Long Beach because the
Museum of Latin American Art on Wednesdays has been doing
a dance class, So that is something that you can
go and check out, not just the museum itself, but
you can also check out a really fun activity to
do in the evening on Wednesdays. Bachata is this week
(14:33):
and then it continues into and through September. I was
messaging with Mario in the chat room the Momigos on
YouTube for later with mo Kelly or mister Mokelly on YouTube,
and we were talking about Splash House, which is a
unique music festival that's happening this weekend, is weekend two,
and it is in Palm Springs, which seems to be
between Coachella and Stagecoach and everything else, but this one
(14:54):
actually takes place at four different venues, three of them
being resorts and specifically at the pool. So even though
so it is real hot in the Palm Springs area,
you've got a way to cool off, not just the beats,
but also hop in the pool. And then, as I
teased before, something really fun for me. As we've kind
of already talked about horror films here a Nightmare on
(15:15):
Elm Street. All seven films in the collection have been
re released in four K, and our friends at the
Alamo Draft House in downtown LA have offered us two
sets of tickets for you to either be able to
check this out or any other show that is going
on down there. The thing that's exciting about this one
two Freddy's coming for you is if you're a fan
(15:38):
of horror films, if you want to get that summer
ween in effect a Nightmare on Elm Street, you'll be
able to starting on August twenty ninth, so the last
Wednesday of the month, and for the seven subsequent Wednesdays,
you'll actually be able to head to the Alamo Draft
House in downtown LA and experience the full four K
re representation preach, I should say, Nightmare on Alm the Street.
(16:02):
So you've got all seven films in it, So yeah,
I think it's a lot of there's a lot of
stuff going on, and I'm really excited to bring you
guys so much more. So don't you have something to
give away? Oh yeah, two tickets. Two sets of tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You're ready to give away. Oh yeah, Well let's give
them away, all right, boy.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
So let's take callers five and six. I know what
I'm doing. I'm just waiting for you to know. No, I
got it, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
So there's that.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Uh, And I'll catch you next week Caller five and
the six, and you will win two tickets.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Eat.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
So each five, caller five, collor six you'll get two
tickets to go check out either this or anything else
at Alamo Draft House in downtown La.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Caller five, Caller six, you and a guest Alamo Draft House,
two tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Forty KFI Mister Mokeler.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We're live everywhere on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
And What's Happening wasn't one of the biggest sitcoms of
the late nineteen seventies, but it was pretty damn popular.
And Danielle Spencer, who played d Thomas, the smart ass kid,
who was basically smarter than everyone around her in a
character sense. Her comebacks, her clapback game was legendary back then.
(17:31):
She passed away today at the age of sixty years old.
But what's more important, I think is to highlight highlight
what happened in her real life. She passed away at
the age of sixty due to cancer. They didn't specify
as far as what type of cancer. But if you
do anything about her life, she endured a lot of
tragedy and there was some triumph along the way. Back
(17:53):
in nineteen seventy seven, she survived a car crash that
killed her stepfather yet left her in a coma for
three weeks. She went on later to earn a veterinary
medicine degree from Tuskegee in nineteen ninety three. So when
I referred to her as doctor Danielle Spencer, that's why
she was someone who was one of those child actors
(18:16):
of the late nineteen seventies who managed to escape personal
tragedy in the way that a lot of her peers
were unable. If you think about the sitcoms of the
nineteen seventies, from Gary Coleman to Todd Bridges and others
who were not as lucky kind of surviving that cycle
(18:38):
of child stars having all sorts of bad press, as
it were, Danielle Spencer didn't have that, and she walked
away from television and Hollywood to a large degree, And
her last acting role was in two thousand and one
on an episode of Days of Our Lives.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
But she was a very successful.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Veterinarian and she lived her life largely out of the spotlight. Now,
if you were familiar with her and her history as
a child star, yes she was well known in that regard.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yes she was recognizable.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
She did not run away from her character of d
But at the same time, she didn't feel obligated to
relive that part of her life or keep chasing after
that part of her life. And just in case you
may not remember d here is some d Well.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
How'd you make out, little miss Rockefeller? Hey, looks like
a pretty good haul.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
Yeah, not as good as Christmas, but better than Halloween. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I just love this.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh that's from Roger. Eh he knows thena you. Hey,
I hope you like my gift.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
Oh, this diary is great. You want to hear what
I've written so far?
Speaker 8 (19:57):
No, no, no, you're not supposed to tell anybody what
you're writing.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
You're di.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Let's just take a peek.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Today, I celebrate my fourteenth birthday.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
My heart raced with fiery passion as Ricardo pressed his
hungry mouth to mine. Two strong arms crushed the breath
from my body as Ricardo help.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Me closer, closer and closer.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
The woo's Ricado nobody, but thirty years from now, who
wants to read Today?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
I shook hands with three running So what else did
you get? Well? This is this thing I got from
a little earld What is that? I think it's a necklace. No,
it looks like a fleet collar. Fuck gozoo. I know
(21:01):
a little Aroun'll such a nice little kid, and I
don't want to hurt his feelings. Yeah, so what you're
gonna do the decent thing? Tomorrow? I'm gonna take it
back and get the money.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Doctor Danielle Spencer gone at the age of sixty years old.
It's later with bo Kelly. When we come back, we'll
check in with George Norry and find out what's going
on with Coast to Coast AM and also I'll have
my final thought.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You're listening to. Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Six forty It's Later with Mo Kelly. We are live
everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Coming up in just a
few moments will be Coast to Coast AM with George Norri.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
George, how you doing, sir, Great Mo.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Fascinating program tonight coming up on the forty eighth anniversary
of the death of Elvis Presley. We're going to talk
about that then later on the show Ancient Mysteries forty
eight years.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I remember the original news reports.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I was a kid, but I remember it because and
if you're not old enus, remember there are a few
moments in which a story just takes over all news,
especially back then, and that was just one of the stories.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
It just shocked everyone.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
It was huge, forty two years old. We'll have it
all tonight on Coast to Coach.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I'll definitely be listening again. OK, talk soon and before
we get out of here. And I do remember because, yeah,
it was nineteen seventy seven, and when the news came
across because I was I'm in a musical family. I
remember Elvis Presley in that regard and the news that
he passed away at forty two and the thing that
I've lived thirteen years longer than Elvis, because I thought
(22:38):
back then forty two was old.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
It was old.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
That it's a distant memory, but yeah, that was That
was a tremendous piece of news back then. So I
definitely want to tune in and listen to George talk
about it. Here's my final thought tonight. It's not that long,
but I may hit some things twice. If you didn't know,
there are some published reports, Mark, I don't know if
(23:04):
you've even seen this, you should be on the lookout
for it. There's some published reports tonight that convicted sex
trafficker Glaine Maxwell has reportedly been cleared to leave prison
on work release.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You heard that, right, cleared to leave prison on work release.
This is after being granted a sweetheart prison reassignment to
some minimum security federal facility. Can we be just be honest,
you just why don't we skip to the end and
give up Gelaye Maxwell her pardon, because that's where all
(23:39):
of this is headed. But did you know that by law,
Maxwell is not eligible for minimum security detention because of
the nature of her conviction. You can't be a convicted
sex trafficker in the way that Maxwell is and get
minimum security. Yet here we are she's not eligible for
(23:59):
work release either, and yet say it with me, here
we are. I get how everybody wants the truth to
come out regarding Jeffrey Epstein. Well maybe not everybody, but
most bodies like me, I'm one of these people. But
I don't get how Congress passes out subpoenas regarding Jeffrey
Epstein when there's already an adjudicated case to go by.
(24:21):
Victims have testified in regard to Kelan Maxwell, who was
later convicted, there's really nothing to investigate, per se. Everyone's
pretty much on record. And I don't get how Congress
wants to speak to Bill and Hillary Clinton more so
(24:41):
than any of the victims of Maxwell or Maxwell herself.
And don't get me wrong, Bill Clinton definitely can and
should offer up testimony. Okay, let's be clear on this,
but so can Donald Trump. I mean, you don't get
to be one of Epstein's former best friends for years
and not be on the list at least to offer
(25:03):
a few words. You know, where'd you go, where'd you
hang out? Did you see anything?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Did you know?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
You know?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Former best friends that's what you're supposed to do. Instead
we get the Geelane Maxwell gift giving season. After meeting
privately with Trump's former personal attorney, Now DOJ deputy as
they say, it doesn't pass the smell test. Can we
tell the truth? But sure, let's deflect with federalizing Washington,
(25:38):
d C. Instead, Let's have the FBI and the National
Park Service and the National Guard helped patrol the streets
of the nation's capital. I'm not exaggerating that is actually
happening because supposedly DC crime is so out of control,
or or let me offer this as an alternative, it's not.
It's the lowest that's been in thirty years, thirty years.
(26:00):
This is not arguable. In fact, I was in DC
thirty years ago. I know something about this. DC isn't
even in the top ten as far as worst crime
ridden cities. You don't have to take my word for it.
It's inarguable. I visit Washington, d C. Every year without fail.
I talk about DC constantly on this show. I know DC.
(26:25):
I went to college in DC. My sister went to
college in DC. Both my parents went to college in DC.
I still have relatives who live in DC. I still
have friends that I went to college with in DC.
I know Washington District of Columbia. I was there during
the crack epidemic when kids were killing each other over sneakers.
(26:47):
That really was happening while I was in DC. I
know what DC was like when it was at its worst.
I was there a junior in college when then Mayor
Mary and Barry was caught in an FBI sting smoke
crack on video. I was there when Washington, d C.
Was the murder capital as well as the nation's capital. Washington,
(27:10):
DC today is nothing approaching what it was then, not
even close. But when everything is about politics, nothing matters.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I must say.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's rather strange that the President managed to call in
the National Guard for the purpose of protecting Washington, DC
on Monday, but somehow couldn't do it on January sixth.
I'm just putting that out there because I thought it
was Nancy nevermind. I'm here to tell you the Speaker
of the House did not then and will not have
any role in summoning the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
That was proven once again on Monday.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
The big picture is that calling in the National Guard
to do nothing here in LA was just a testing ground.
Now the Guard has been called in to do nothing
in Washington, d C, which is geographically the size of Irvine,
about sixty seven square miles.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
That's it. That's Irvine.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Presently, the FBI, the National Park Service, the Secret Service,
the Metro Police, the Capitol Police, and the National Guard
are all presently patrolling the sixty eight square miles of
what equates to Irvine, California. Have you ever wondered why
(28:28):
there's no crime per se in North Korea, or at
least to the best of our knowledge, there's no crime
because it's an authoritarian police state. Have you ever wondered
why there is no terrorism in North Korea?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Same reason.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
What's not often discussed is how freedom and a police
state don't really work well together. What is going to
happen in DC is textbook police state. If you don't
live in DC, it won't matter to you. You get
to sit at home and point at the TV and say, yes,
that's what I voted for. I want less crime in America.
(29:02):
I want our nation's capital to not deal with so
much crime. The details just don't matter to you. If
you aren't familiar with DC, it won't resonate with you.
Because it's about politics. It's not about people. I'm not
against being tough on crime. I am, though, very much
against performative law enforcement. It's not sustainable and likely won't
(29:24):
be impactful long term. Something else people may not consider.
When you marshal all these federal resources for just Washington, DC,
they're not being utilized in their intended capacity. It plays
well on TV, I get the why. But when you
start pulling FBI agents and National Park Service agents and
Secret Service and Department of Treasury agents from their intended duties,
(29:48):
then other things fall apart. Other things are left vulnerable.
But let's not kid ourselves about how either how dangerous
DC is in twenty twenty five or how federalizing DC
law enforcement is either necessary or warranted, because it's an either.
This is theater. It's a traveling show which will leave
(30:12):
DC after two weeks or so and then onto Chicago
or some other democratically led urban center for the next performance.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I know DC.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
This is not necessary for k IF. I am six forty,
I'm Moe Kelly.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
KSI and kost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
More stimulating talk
Later, with Mo'Kelly News
