Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's CAMF I Am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app CAMF
I Am sixty. It is the Conway Show. We'll get
some more updates on Charlie Kirk. And we've got some
bad news. Robert Redford has passed away. Yeah, butch Cassidy's
(00:22):
Sundance Kid the very first movie I saw with my
dad in a little tiny theater outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
That changed my life. And I fell in love with
the silver screen and that's why I got into it.
I just do this to pay the bills, but my
true heart and love is on that silver screen. Maybe
not all right, Alex Stone is with us. We have
(00:42):
more information on Tyler Robinson, the guy who, in my opinion,
killed Charlie Kirk. I think a lot of people I
think the same way, Alex. How you, Bob, I think
a lot of people would agree with you on that. Yeah,
up close and personal.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Remember that movie where oh Reb Redford was the TV
news director, the scanner always going off, and the police
scanner in his home with Michelle Pfeiffer. That was a
good movie.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Did are you old enough to have seen butchercast and
Sun Dans Kid in theaters.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, not in theaters, but I definitely saw it at
some point, but not in theater.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's an unbelievable movie. Yeah, it's incredible, all right. So
Tyler Robinson, he said he killed Charlie Kirk. That's more evidence.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah. So he was in court a little while ago.
No T shirt, only a green protective vest, a stab
vest that looked like or a bulletproof vest of some kind.
But to make sure nobody can hurt him and he
can't hurt himself. And he sat remotely listening to the
Utah County judge and he responded only briefly a little
while ago when he was asked his.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Name, did you state your name? Tyler James Robinson.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And the judge during the hearing found him indigent that
he will have an attorney provided for him. The judge
ruled that he's to be held without bail ahead of
his next hearing on September twenty ninth. He will get
an attorney between now and then, they'll find somebody to
do it. We understand there's only like a dozen attorneys
in Utah who can do a death penalty case like this,
(02:03):
and some of them are already saying they want nothing
to do with this. Wow, So they got to find somebody.
The judge proved a protective order for Charlie Kirk's wife,
not that Tyler Robinson is going to be getting out
in a threat to her at any point, but they
at least anytime soon and probably ever. But he issued
that and then the prosecutors told the judge they made
it official that they're going for the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He did file just recently, within the last few minutes,
and notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So today before he was in court, they announced it's murder,
obstructing justice, witness tampering. There are charges involving committing a
crime in front of children because there were kids in
the crowd. But they made it known they are going
to go to death penalty, which is lethal injection is
the primary means in Utah, but firing squad is the
backup alternative if they were to say that they couldn't
(02:51):
do lethal injection. But we learned a ton about the
case today and all of this as well as they
were filing these charges, one being that they did find
his DNA on the trigger of the rifle along with
on a towel that it was wrapped up in and
some other things that they found. And this is the
Utah County Attorney General Jeff Gray laying it out.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
After shooting mister Kirk Robertson hid the gun, discarded the
clothing he wore when he fired the rifle, and told
his roommate to delete incriminating text message.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And that is what led to the obstruction of justice
and began witness tampering of telling him don't talk to
the police, don't go ahead and deleat those emails. We
also found out today about turning himself in that it
was his mother who saw a picture on the news
of the shooter and thought that looked like her son.
So she called him and said where are you. I'm
just curious how you doing. Where are you And he said, well,
(03:43):
I met my apartment. I've been sick for a couple
of days, haven't been feeling well. She went to her
husband and said, this looks like Tyler, and they looked
at it. He recognized him, and then recognized a photo
that was on the news of the rifle that that
was what had been handed down to Robinson from Robinson's grandfather,
oh wow, And so they went back and forth. There
(04:03):
was one text where Robinson to his roommate said it
was grandpa's rifle. But but Grace said to that.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so,
Robinson had become more political and had started to lean
more to the left, becoming more pro gay and Trance
writes oriented and.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
His roommate, who Grace, says Robinson was dating biological male
transitioning to female and more with his dad. His dad.
Mom and dad are very conservative. He grew up in
a very conservative family and dad said, hey, come over,
let's talk. He said, I'm going to kill myself, Robinson
did to his family, according to prosecutors, and he said, no,
(04:43):
just come over and talk to us. And more on
that conversation.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was
the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail
and just wanted to end it. When asked why he
did it, Robinson explained there was too much evil and
the guy, referring to Charlie Kirk, spreads too much hate.
They talked about Robinson turning himself in and convinced Robins
(05:08):
Robinson to speak with a family friend who's a retired
deputy sheriff, so.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That retired sheriff convinced them when mom and dad called
with Robinson there to go to the Washington County, Utah
Sheriff's office turn himself in, told him bring all the evidence,
if you've got any clothing, if you got anything that
reduced the search that's going to go on at the
family home, to go in, and they did. And can
you imagine how tough that was on mom and dad
(05:33):
to know that they're bringing their son in for the
death penalty, that that's the last time that they may
see him as a free man or even alive for
all that long. But just lastly, before all of this,
he allegedly left a note for his roommate, whom they
say he was dating, talking about the shooting and told
his roommate to go find the note under a desk
and texted with the roommate admitting to the crime. They
(05:57):
read the text today between the roommate and Robinson.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It sounded like this, Robinson, I'm going to turn myself
in willingly. One of my neighbors here is a deputy
for the sheriff again, you are all I worry about
love that came from Robinson roommate. I'm much more worried
about you. Robinson, don't talk to the media. Please don't
take any interviews or make any comments.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And he allegedly told the roommate delete these messages, which
again goes to the obstruction of justice asking for them
to be deleted. But the county attorney today Tim said
that they do not think at this point there are
any other suspects anybody else was involved. The roommate didn't
know about it beforehand, they don't think and has been
totally cooperative of giving them the text messages in the
letter and all of that. So still an open case,
they say, But but they don't think anybody else was involved.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sorry, what a week for the parents though, I mean,
you know, the dad. The family is very conservative, probably
big fans of Charlie Kirker at least knew who he was.
Then they had to turn Then they recognized their son
as the murderer, had to turn him in. They denied
the money, the one hundred thousand dollars reward for finding
the killer, and then he retired. The father retired from
(07:09):
law enforcement didn't think he could really do the job
with all the publicity surrounding that. And also I read
this online. This may or may not be true. Of
this list of things on the dad still favors the
death penalty for his kid.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I don't know about that, and that may be true.
I haven't undernew that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's the only one that I'm question mark next.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, the but the you can you know, just the
thought of that, you look up and your son's on
TV as the killer and convincing him, hey, you know what,
come over and just talk to us at the house,
and then sitting him down, according to it to prosecutors,
and the mom and dad said, look, it's gonna be
all right, but we're going to call our friend the
sheriff and ask what we should do. And then he said,
(07:53):
you know what, take him to the sheriff's office and
we'll handle it from there. And then they they handled
it from there, and that had to be.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Some people online who know a lot more about guns
than I do said that he probably aimed for it
was a head shot, but he didn't allow for the
distance and the slope of the bullet. But if that
would have hit him square in the face. That would
have been much more traumatic for everybody there.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I've heard from a couple of people who are much
more well versed in guns than I am, And yeah,
their teaching would be either center mass or in a
sniper the face, and that they thought it was probably
actually a bad shot in the end, it achieved what
he was going out for, but that you wouldn't typically
go for the neck, and that it was likely for
whatever reason, distance, you know, wind slope, anything like that,
(08:40):
that he was probably, according to them, they would think
going for the head. But he knew guns, he grew
up around them. This gun had been apparently handed down
from grandpa. But he was not a military sniper, law
enforcement sniper that he had just grown up firing him.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Let me ask you something on a professional level, A
how many people of the press you think will be
on Sunday and CBS and NBC or CBS and Fox
have NFL games, and I think they're obligated to run
those games. But I think the other channels will run
this live.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I don't know. I haven't heard what the plans
are yet. And yeah, you're probably right. I'm sure football
will will still air. They may put it on the
secondary channel or on a streaming channel, that that sort
of thing. But no, I think there's gonna be a
lot of media there for a number of different reasons.
One just what it is. But the President's going to
be there, and it's going to be a huge crowd.
It's that they're going to be filling the stadium. And
(09:34):
are you going to cover I don't know. I don't
know if I'm being centered on.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Okay, all right, but I appreciate you coming on. And
you know what, this is not even a week old,
this story, This didn't happen until you know tomorrow will
be a week.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
A lot has gone on in the last week, right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, absolutely, but I really appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Alex Stone. That guy has not slept since it's happened.
He is up all night long covering this story. Robert
Redford passed away. That's another story working on here. We'll
have information on that, and we also have a guest
at five o'clock, a state senator is coming in, so
that'll be a coolsma. We're live on kf I am sick.
(10:10):
Forty Petrosy is with us from the Petros and Money Show.
Hi you Bob. Nice to see it. Man, Hey, let's
get a microphone. I know you got to go do
your own show on man. You work your ass off. Fine,
your Did Robert Redford ever come to your dad's.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I know, not that I probably, but not that I
know of. But I did see Robert Redford a few
years ago. Really, yeah, I have. I'm very very grateful
to have a friend. And I'm not talking about Sundance,
the film festival, which is now in Park City because
it's too big, but the Sundance, the place that is Sundance,
(10:48):
the conservatory with the little resort that Redford. I believe
he recently sold it, but that he it's still a
conservatory like Catalina Island, Okay. And and he sold it
to a hotel company I think shortly before he passed
a few years back. But I've been on that Sundance
property more than once, you know, in the summer and
the winter. I have a friend beautiful it's crazy, and
(11:12):
you drive right by the place, you would never know
it's there. And I have a friend whose father owns
a home there, so not in the resort, but one
of the houses around there. And there's a bar at
Sundance called the Owl Bar, And at the Owl Bar
it is built like a real nineteenth century bar, using
nineteenth century walls from ghost towns that Redford found all
(11:34):
the furniture in there, the actual bar.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you know, there's.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Not it's not it's not Disneyland cheesy, but it's like
it's like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Killer's a little
picture of them, you know, the three, those two in
the woman you know on the wall. I mean, it
is something else and there's always jazz and different things.
And when you go there, you order Bob's beer if
you want, because he chooses a different beer every month.
(11:58):
And oh that's great. It was, I mean, why were
you there? A friend of mine's father who was from
a Native Utah guy who relocated out to Palace Verdes.
You know, he owns a home there, Okay, and that
I've been entertained there at the home a couple of times.
So I saw Redford just walking through the hotel. And
the hotel is beautiful and the whole thing is great,
(12:19):
but unpretentious and but but and where is sun Dance
is called sun Dance. It's a real place they used
to have the film festival there, but it got too big,
so they moved it to Park City, which is like
Aspen or something like that. So so Sundance the place
is like actually directly above where they recently had the assassination.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Is that Orum? Or yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Orum and and Provo, So right above by U and
Utah Valley.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So it's right there.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But speaking of that, I saw him and he was
a lot shorter than I thought.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
They happened listed at five to ten and I was like, no, way,
he's like five five, dude.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
He was tiny.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Like I looked down at him like would a child
or a woman, and I was like, oh my god,
that's Robert Redford.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
H speaking of Utah. He looked great. You did a
game there this weekend?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, I was. I was in a logan Utah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Did they have a commemoration?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah? They did.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Actually that's where Charlie Kirk I think, was headed Max.
Oh really so the governor ended up there at our game.
And I have never I mean I've done a lot
of games in my life, and a lot bigger places
and bigger games and motorcades and all that, but never
had like security.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So yeah, personal Security did.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
It was really weird, probably totally unnecessary, but you know
Fox did that, so yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was kind of tense.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But we were in Logan, Utah, which was a beautiful
town and kind of like a like a time warp
like that movie Pleasantville. Very beautiful, beautiful place and Merlin
olsen Field up there.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And I got to thank you. Governor Newsom came out
today and said that the those two menendus kids are
not going to get out of prison. And he attributed
to you screaming from the top of your lungs from
the fourth here at thirty four hundred, will ive, don't do.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It, live, Yeah, don't do it, Lile.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I came around like I think I painted a cinematic picture,
that's right, you know. And it was me, you know,
coming out of the kitchen area with like a cliff bar,
you know, walking around the corner and then you know,
being confronted with the scene of Lyle holding the gun,
shaking with emotion, my standing there holding your headphones, dog,
you know, and me screaming, don't do it, Li. And
(14:29):
I think they heard that, you know that I painted
such a picture in the mind's eye kind of like
War of the World, right, But you know to.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Newsome that he said, these guys they got to stay.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
They have to stay incarcerated because we can't lose the
Tim Conway jun That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Even people who are leaning towards releasing these two kids,
you've changed their minds.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well you know, I mean, you show somebody what could happen, right,
you know, and then they say, wow, you know, like
what is it the Christmas Carol?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You show Ebenezer Screws. Here's what life is like without
Conway's right, That's exactly what it's like. Communist progue out there.
You know, it's gray. Everybody's sad.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I think it's even worse than that, but I'll accept that.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Everybody's holding like one loaf of bread, wheel barrel of money. Yeah,
it's to pay for one, you know what I mean.
It's kind of like, right, you know, the ghost of
Christmas future.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I appreciate that that all the cities and towns are
all dark, the electricity is out.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You blew it up, son of a bet, you blew
it up? What game do you do?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
You?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Who did it?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Was like UTAs State Air Force game? Who will toss State?
Not by U okay, but I'm a toss state one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I remember you said that when you played either the
Army or air Force, those guys can be down by
forty five points and they still played like we now
played them.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But I've done enough.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I've done a lot of Air Force games just because
of the West Coast, and it doesn't matter. It is
amazing because they have no nil they don't have any
of the things that anybody else has. They can even
red shirt players and freshmen don't even play.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And after you're done playing, you.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Got to go serve as an officer for however many years.
But they they still consistently win nine, ten eight ball
games a year in major FBS football, and it's amazing.
And the truth is it's because nobody wants. You know,
you play normal football all year long, and then one
week a year you get this sawed off white dude
(16:25):
with a flat top from Maryland launching his forehead right
into your crotch. And it doesn't matter if you're down
forty five that part, it doesn't matter if you're up
or down. They're gonna launch their military like Battle of
the bulge into your crotch.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Right into your penis.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Over and over and it's happened to me, like you know,
I've taken the helmet to the crotch. We don't wear
cups out there. You don't know that you can't run
in a cup. Like, wow, man, you wait, the NFL
doesn't use cups. No, no one uses a cop my god. No, oh,
that's unbelievable. No, another reason.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Not the bat.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That's a catcher thing. But that's it. Everybody else anyway,
nobody wants the missile to the crotch for four quarters.
And that is why they compete, because then it's like, hey, man,
who we planned this week?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Army pray.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Some guy's gonna launch himself into my crotch for four quarters.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're the best, buddy, all right. I appreciate you coming in.
Petros and money over there on AM five seventy right.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, I think you doing over the show?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Are you preempted night? Are you doing? Ah?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well, you know we'll be preempted from sixty seven. Okay
the Dodger pregame, Dodger pregame. All right, buddy, appreciate you
coming in. I see you have a shirt says nineteen
seventy seven. Is that your birthday year? I was born.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, wow, one year after the birth of the two
hundredth anniversary.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Right, I'm almost a bi centennial baby.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
But funny, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I took a big picture by that big thing at Riverside.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Either way, Oh, I said, what not the ninety one
damn seventy one commemoration.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
All right, it's Conway Show. We're live on CAMF.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I'm you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. There's
going to be a big memorial for Charlie Kirk this
Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, just outside of Phoenix, Arizona, at
the State Farm Stadium. There seventy three thousand people are
expected inside, maybe a one hundred or one hundred and
fifty two undred thousand people on the outside. It's going
(18:29):
to be a big, huge event. And there's also some
controversy over the flag flying at half staff for Charlie Kirk.
And this is I believe a story about West Hollywood.
But there's also I guess it was Mayor Karen Baz
who didn't give the directive to the you know, the
(18:50):
local fire stations or police stations to lower the flag
to half staff, But some fire companies from some fire
stations did it on their own, and that's another controversy.
It's in Los Angeles. We throw a lot at you.
In LA. If you just arrived, you've got to be
on your toes twenty four hours a day. In LA,
(19:11):
we throw a lot of crap at you. Well, West Hollywood,
let's find out what they did in West Holly.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Lowering the flags holds hue significance. In our country. We
do it for Memorial Day to honor our war veterans,
and on nine to eleven to honor the victims of
that day and first responders who worked tirelessly through that day. Well,
the flags here we want to show you are now
back at full staff, but we're at halfsap for days.
The city says they followed their policy after getting the
presidential national directive, but in light of the order being
(19:39):
used to recognize Kirk, the city is now looking to
make some possible changes. Otavio Letzma tells us he was
sitting on this bench on Sunday like he usually does
before work, and noticed the flags at half staff, including
the trans flag President Trump ordered a nationwide lowering of
flags on public buildings and grounds through sunset on Sunday
after the killing of political activist Charlie on September tenth.
(20:01):
Octavio says he understands and respects that action following Kirk's
violent death, but it shouldn't be for one person, he says,
adding the same deference has not applied following other high
profile passings.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Who the hell has controversy and is affected by a
flag halfway up the pole? Who are these people that
so outraged over this?
Speaker 8 (20:23):
This sign makes a boulder statement about the lowering of
the flags, reading in part shame on West Hollywood for
honoring Kirk, calling him racist, transphobic, and homophobic. It was
placed where the trans and Promise Pride flags stand. Kirk's
views have promoted a traditional ideology, often in contrast with
the LGBTQ plus community. West Hollywood Mayor Chelsea Buyers explains
(20:45):
why the city lowered the flags.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
We will follow the directive of the President when it
comes to how we recognize the US flag, and this
is a policy that's been long established for the city
on the books prior to this administration.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's right, that's right. The president decides when the flag
flies that have staff, and then all the government buildings
are supposed to lower their flag. That's been the long
standing rule.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Other states like New York and New Jersey did not
follow through with the president's order. Neither. It appears that
the City of Los Angeles, as noted by this post
from the Los Angeles Fire Department last Friday, which reads
in part, flag shall remain raised to full staff each
day and should not be lowered to half staff unless
directed by the mayor. Buyer says they are looking into
(21:26):
their policy.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Was the mayor even in town? Was she in town
or was she in Ghana? For this one? Where was
she she had in town?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
We have to look at this policy and see what
other flexibility or discretion we're able to bring knowing that
the president is going to use this policy to honor
people that may not be consistent with the values of
the city and the impact that that has individuals here,
She says, its.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
So every time the president said, hey, let's lower the
flag to have staff, then we got to do a
three week review on the person. You know, what the
person likes, were dislikes, Has he had any past duys,
has he ever yelled or raise his hand to his wife.
I mean, where does it Where does it stop?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
She says.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
In many ways, it's about keeping the democratic process and
having the public have some inputs. So in the next
weeks and months they may look at putting something on
their city council agenda, voting on it with community input,
and then finding a new resolution in again the future
here in Ujo loly tellabs nbcpoor News.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
All right, then on the other end of the spectrum,
Huntington Beach, we'll wa come back. We'll tell you what
they did in Huntington Beach, a huge memorial for Charlie
Kirk in Huntington Beach. If you're going to the State
Farm Stadium, you got to get there early. You can
get tickets online. They're pretty easy to get tickets, but
it's first come, first serve. They want you in line
(22:46):
by eight o'clock, but they said there will be people
probably in line twenty four hours before that waiting to
get inside. Its seats sixty three thousand. They're going to
add another ten thousand seats because it's not a football game,
so you can litter the field with more chairs. Seventy
three thousand people there, and you've got to be in
line by eight am. The Secret Service is going to
(23:07):
be there, so it's going to be tough to get in,
tougher to get in than if Trump wasn't there. But
the security is going to be unbelievable. The Secret Service,
the local sheriffs, the local state cops, the city cops.
I imagine, you know some my National Guard will be
there as well. But it is going to be a
(23:27):
well protected building on Sunday, So if you're going, may
want to leave today. There's going to be a lot
of traffic there as well. But if you're if you
go on Saturday, it's supposed to be one hundred and
five going through the desert, so be prepared for that
as well. But a lot of people are going, lots
of people. It might be tens of thousands of people
going from southern California to Glendale, Arizona. And for this
(23:50):
memorial all right, we're live on KFI AM six forty.
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Yeah,

it looks so. It didn't look good before.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I had a lot of the kinks out.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't think. Did you get the kinks out?
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Crozier asked, I got most of them out thanks to
our listeners, a lot of stylists that sent me some
really great tips that I used.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So thank you, thank you, thank you. Did you do
it at home yourself? You straightened at home at home?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
A lot of moisturizing, A lot of moisturizing with the hair. Conditioning. Yeah,
conditioning basically like stripping it starting over. Yeah, if you
didn't see it. Bellio got a fro last week. Perm Wait,
your MIC's not on.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
It was a perm and it was just too tight
and stayed on way too long.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, so I had to undo it. Did you did?
Somebody dare you to do that? Or is that a no?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Tim?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Nobody dare me to do that? Rude?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Somebody dare you wear that shirt today?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Can we still call you belly frow? Yeah? Can we
still call you belly frow?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, right, that's how you diffuse that? He said, Oh
I don't mind it all though, mine.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I love it in the corner. I have brothers too,
you know, I know this work. You get it, I
get it, I get it. You can see the old
belly frow still up on on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I think it's on Instagram, but it's a picture of
you and Billy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Zane, right, and then you and Billy Zane. There was
one comment that was pretty good. You should have gone
with Billy Zane's hair, said, Billy Zane's hairdo would have
been better.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So rude.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And for people to know this, Billy Zain is completely baald,
So there you go. All right, Huntington Beach and Charlie Kirk,
how are they memory remembering his life in that very
concern servative area of southern California, Huntington Beach, go down
and find out what's going on.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
And then they started putting on white masks over the face,
and then they all lined up, and then they got
the microphone out and then they started chanting white men
fight back.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
It was all too much for Huntington Beach's Jerry Geyer.
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I know what that is. We all know what that is.
That's white supremacy. So you know I have to stop that.
I cannot allow that to run through the streets of
Hunting the Beach. That's not what we are, that's not
who hunting.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
In Beach is disgusted by what he heard and saw
downtown Saturday night gyer scene here on social media video,
yelled profanities as he rode his bike alongside the group
of men.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Man, this is going to get hot, This is going
to get crazy. This is going to set a lot
of people off. You know, thank god that this didn't
happen in May or early June. You know, if this
happened in May or early June, we would have had
a very high June, July, and August where the temperature
was high, and that makes people even crazier. And this
(27:05):
could have been a brutal summer. Thank god, I mean not.
You know, today's not a perfect example, but it is
going to get cooler eventually here in southern California. I
think maybe even by this weekend. And cooler temperatures mean
cooler heads as well.
Speaker 12 (27:22):
At one point on Main Street, he tried to block
their path as they walked two by two in matching
clothes to the Charlie Kirk Memorial at the Pier, and nobody.
Speaker 11 (27:32):
There stopped them. I came in behind them on my bicycle,
and I pleaded to everybody in the pier plaza not
to let them join them, not to let them taint
what they were doing, and two or three people heard me,
the rest of them telling me to get the hell
out of there.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Barbara Richardson has lived in town since the seventies.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I was very disappointing to see something like that happening
in our city again, because I remember when we had
this type of problem in the nineteen eighties, and I
also was afraid to go downtown. I remember seeing skinheads
patrolling the.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
Streets, and I don't go down near the pier when
that kind of thing is going on because I'm afraid,
and I think many people that live in Huntington Beach
are afraid of that kind of vitriol and that kind
of kind of unreasonable response to national events.
Speaker 12 (28:26):
The mayor said in a statement that we are dedicated
to fostering a peaceful, secure and inclusive community. The City
of Huntington Beach will do everything we can to eliminate
acts of violence or inflammatory rhetoric. Of del Awa saw
the white nationalists from his downtown pizza parlor and says
scenes like this are bad for business.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
This might make them rethink and oh why would I
go there? Because they might show up again and again
and again. So it's just making it not safe.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Anymore in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 12 (28:55):
Michelle Jeeley cakel News.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
All right, so crazy, it's everywhere. I suspect that those
guys who did do that are from out of town.
I've been to Huntington Beach a million times in my life.
Never felt unsafe there, never felt that it was a
white supremacist town. It just leans a little more republican
than some of these other beach towns. And that's the
(29:17):
bottom line. A right, when we come back, we have
a state senator on with us. We'll talk about the
crime in the San Fernando Valley. Find out what's going
on the San Fernando Valley. Her name is Senator Caroline
men Javar, and she was on with her. She came
in before. She represents the San Fernando Valley. So we'll
ask her what's going on in the San Fernando Valley.
(29:40):
And this I don't know if she knows this, but
we went to the same elementary school and the same
junior high I went to in Senio Elementary and Portola
Junior High and I believe she went to the same schools,
not at the same time, little younger than I am.
But we'll come back and find out what's going on
with her. And it's nice to speak to somebody who
(30:02):
can do something in the San Fernando Valley, so we'll
find out where the problem areas are. How come the
cops are unable to really, you know, wipe out some
of this crime that we hear about every single day.
And again I don't blame LAPD, They just, you know,
the city of La just doesn't respect the cops and
(30:23):
didn't put money into law enforcement the way other cities did.
And proof of that is go to any of these
small towns. Go to Culver City, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia
and all of these towns, all these smaller towns with
their own police force. They finance it. They have the
(30:44):
right amount of cops for the city for the amount
of citizens, and they wipe out crime. But LA is
just too big and there's not enough money for cops.
They need to double the budget of the LAPD. I know,
probably an already a position, but look, they monitor and
they patrol from Chatsworth all the way to San Pedro.
(31:08):
That's LAPD from Chatsworth to San Pedro about thirty five
maybe forty miles, and that's a hell of a long commute.
Are you know, area to patrol? But you know, if
you take for instance, New York City and the boroughs
of New York City, it's probably maybe a quarter or
(31:30):
a fifth the size of LA, maybe even a tenth
of the size of LA. And yet they have thirty
seven thousand cops in New York City, thirty seven thousand.
I think we have eighty five hundred here in LA.
So the problem isn't the cops don't want to get there,
is there's not enough of them. So if you're serious
about crime, you got to start hiring more cops. That's
(31:51):
the bottom line, all right. Rely on KFI AM six
Speaker 7 (31:54):
Forty you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI A M six forty
It's CAMF I Am six forty and you're listening to
The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app CAMF
I Am sixty. It is the Conway Show. We'll get
some more updates on Charlie Kirk. And we've got some
bad news. Robert Redford has passed away. Yeah, butch Cassidy's
(00:22):
Sundance Kid the very first movie I saw with my
dad in a little tiny theater outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
That changed my life. And I fell in love with
the silver screen and that's why I got into it.
I just do this to pay the bills, but my
true heart and love is on that silver screen. Maybe
not all right, Alex Stone is with us. We have
(00:42):
more information on Tyler Robinson, the guy who, in my opinion,
killed Charlie Kirk. I think a lot of people I
think the same way, Alex. How you, Bob, I think
a lot of people would agree with you on that. Yeah,
up close and personal.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Remember that movie where oh Reb Redford was the TV
news director, the scanner always going off, and the police
scanner in his home with Michelle Pfeiffer. That was a
good movie.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Did are you old enough to have seen butchercast and
Sun Dans Kid in theaters.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, not in theaters, but I definitely saw it at
some point, but not in theater.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
It's an unbelievable movie. Yeah, it's incredible, all right. So
Tyler Robinson, he said he killed Charlie Kirk. That's more evidence.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah. So he was in court a little while ago.
No T shirt, only a green protective vest, a stab
vest that looked like or a bulletproof vest of some kind.
But to make sure nobody can hurt him and he
can't hurt himself. And he sat remotely listening to the
Utah County judge and he responded only briefly a little
while ago when he was asked his.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Name, did you state your name? Tyler James Robinson.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And the judge during the hearing found him indigent that
he will have an attorney provided for him. The judge
ruled that he's to be held without bail ahead of
his next hearing on September twenty ninth. He will get
an attorney between now and then, they'll find somebody to
do it. We understand there's only like a dozen attorneys
in Utah who can do a death penalty case like this,
(02:03):
and some of them are already saying they want nothing
to do with this. Wow, So they got to find somebody.
The judge proved a protective order for Charlie Kirk's wife,
not that Tyler Robinson is going to be getting out
in a threat to her at any point, but they
at least anytime soon and probably ever. But he issued
that and then the prosecutors told the judge they made
it official that they're going for the death penalty.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He did file just recently, within the last few minutes,
and notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So today before he was in court, they announced it's murder,
obstructing justice, witness tampering. There are charges involving committing a
crime in front of children because there were kids in
the crowd. But they made it known they are going
to go to death penalty, which is lethal injection is
the primary means in Utah, but firing squad is the
backup alternative if they were to say that they couldn't
(02:51):
do lethal injection. But we learned a ton about the
case today and all of this as well as they
were filing these charges, one being that they did find
his DNA on the trigger of the rifle along with
on a towel that it was wrapped up in and
some other things that they found. And this is the
Utah County Attorney General Jeff Gray laying it out.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
After shooting mister Kirk Robertson hid the gun, discarded the
clothing he wore when he fired the rifle, and told
his roommate to delete incriminating text message.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And that is what led to the obstruction of justice
and began witness tampering of telling him don't talk to
the police, don't go ahead and deleat those emails. We
also found out today about turning himself in that it
was his mother who saw a picture on the news
of the shooter and thought that looked like her son.
So she called him and said where are you. I'm
just curious how you doing. Where are you And he said, well,
(03:43):
I met my apartment. I've been sick for a couple
of days, haven't been feeling well. She went to her
husband and said, this looks like Tyler, and they looked
at it. He recognized him, and then recognized a photo
that was on the news of the rifle that that
was what had been handed down to Robinson from Robinson's grandfather,
oh wow, And so they went back and forth. There
(04:03):
was one text where Robinson to his roommate said it
was grandpa's rifle. But but Grace said to that.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Robinson's mother explained that over the last year or so,
Robinson had become more political and had started to lean
more to the left, becoming more pro gay and Trance
writes oriented and.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
His roommate, who Grace, says Robinson was dating biological male
transitioning to female and more with his dad. His dad.
Mom and dad are very conservative. He grew up in
a very conservative family and dad said, hey, come over,
let's talk. He said, I'm going to kill myself, Robinson
did to his family, according to prosecutors, and he said, no,
(04:43):
just come over and talk to us. And more on
that conversation.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
As they discussed the situation, Robinson implied that he was
the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail
and just wanted to end it. When asked why he
did it, Robinson explained there was too much evil and
the guy, referring to Charlie Kirk, spreads too much hate.
They talked about Robinson turning himself in and convinced Robins
(05:08):
Robinson to speak with a family friend who's a retired
deputy sheriff, so.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That retired sheriff convinced them when mom and dad called
with Robinson there to go to the Washington County, Utah
Sheriff's office turn himself in, told him bring all the evidence,
if you've got any clothing, if you got anything that
reduced the search that's going to go on at the
family home, to go in, and they did. And can
you imagine how tough that was on mom and dad
(05:33):
to know that they're bringing their son in for the
death penalty, that that's the last time that they may
see him as a free man or even alive for
all that long. But just lastly, before all of this,
he allegedly left a note for his roommate, whom they
say he was dating, talking about the shooting and told
his roommate to go find the note under a desk
and texted with the roommate admitting to the crime. They
(05:57):
read the text today between the roommate and Robinson.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It sounded like this, Robinson, I'm going to turn myself
in willingly. One of my neighbors here is a deputy
for the sheriff again, you are all I worry about
love that came from Robinson roommate. I'm much more worried
about you. Robinson, don't talk to the media. Please don't
take any interviews or make any comments.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And he allegedly told the roommate delete these messages, which
again goes to the obstruction of justice asking for them
to be deleted. But the county attorney today Tim said
that they do not think at this point there are
any other suspects anybody else was involved. The roommate didn't
know about it beforehand, they don't think and has been
totally cooperative of giving them the text messages in the
letter and all of that. So still an open case,
they say, But but they don't think anybody else was involved.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sorry, what a week for the parents though, I mean,
you know, the dad. The family is very conservative, probably
big fans of Charlie Kirker at least knew who he was.
Then they had to turn Then they recognized their son
as the murderer, had to turn him in. They denied
the money, the one hundred thousand dollars reward for finding
the killer, and then he retired. The father retired from
(07:09):
law enforcement didn't think he could really do the job
with all the publicity surrounding that. And also I read
this online. This may or may not be true. Of
this list of things on the dad still favors the
death penalty for his kid.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, I don't know about that, and that may be true.
I haven't undernew that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That's the only one that I'm question mark next.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, the but the you can you know, just the
thought of that, you look up and your son's on
TV as the killer and convincing him, hey, you know what,
come over and just talk to us at the house,
and then sitting him down, according to it to prosecutors,
and the mom and dad said, look, it's gonna be
all right, but we're going to call our friend the
sheriff and ask what we should do. And then he said,
(07:53):
you know what, take him to the sheriff's office and
we'll handle it from there. And then they they handled
it from there, and that had to be.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Some people online who know a lot more about guns
than I do said that he probably aimed for it
was a head shot, but he didn't allow for the
distance and the slope of the bullet. But if that
would have hit him square in the face. That would
have been much more traumatic for everybody there.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I've heard from a couple of people who are much
more well versed in guns than I am, And yeah,
their teaching would be either center mass or in a
sniper the face, and that they thought it was probably
actually a bad shot in the end, it achieved what
he was going out for, but that you wouldn't typically
go for the neck, and that it was likely for
whatever reason, distance, you know, wind slope, anything like that,
(08:40):
that he was probably, according to them, they would think
going for the head. But he knew guns, he grew
up around them. This gun had been apparently handed down
from grandpa. But he was not a military sniper, law
enforcement sniper that he had just grown up firing him.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Let me ask you something on a professional level, A
how many people of the press you think will be
on Sunday and CBS and NBC or CBS and Fox
have NFL games, and I think they're obligated to run
those games. But I think the other channels will run
this live.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I don't know. I haven't heard what the plans
are yet. And yeah, you're probably right. I'm sure football
will will still air. They may put it on the
secondary channel or on a streaming channel, that that sort
of thing. But no, I think there's gonna be a
lot of media there for a number of different reasons.
One just what it is. But the President's going to
be there, and it's going to be a huge crowd.
It's that they're going to be filling the stadium. And
(09:34):
are you going to cover I don't know. I don't
know if I'm being centered on.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Okay, all right, but I appreciate you coming on. And
you know what, this is not even a week old,
this story, This didn't happen until you know tomorrow will
be a week.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
A lot has gone on in the last week, right.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, absolutely, but I really appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Alex Stone. That guy has not slept since it's happened.
He is up all night long covering this story. Robert
Redford passed away. That's another story working on here. We'll
have information on that, and we also have a guest
at five o'clock, a state senator is coming in, so
that'll be a coolsma. We're live on kf I am sick.
(10:10):
Forty Petrosy is with us from the Petros and Money Show.
Hi you Bob. Nice to see it. Man, Hey, let's
get a microphone. I know you got to go do
your own show on man. You work your ass off. Fine,
your Did Robert Redford ever come to your dad's.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I know, not that I probably, but not that I
know of. But I did see Robert Redford a few
years ago. Really, yeah, I have. I'm very very grateful
to have a friend. And I'm not talking about Sundance,
the film festival, which is now in Park City because
it's too big, but the Sundance, the place that is Sundance,
(10:48):
the conservatory with the little resort that Redford. I believe
he recently sold it, but that he it's still a
conservatory like Catalina Island, Okay. And and he sold it
to a hotel company I think shortly before he passed
a few years back. But I've been on that Sundance
property more than once, you know, in the summer and
the winter. I have a friend beautiful it's crazy, and
(11:12):
you drive right by the place, you would never know
it's there. And I have a friend whose father owns
a home there, so not in the resort, but one
of the houses around there. And there's a bar at
Sundance called the Owl Bar, And at the Owl Bar
it is built like a real nineteenth century bar, using
nineteenth century walls from ghost towns that Redford found all
(11:34):
the furniture in there, the actual bar.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you know, there's.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Not it's not it's not Disneyland cheesy, but it's like
it's like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Killer's a little
picture of them, you know, the three, those two in
the woman you know on the wall. I mean, it
is something else and there's always jazz and different things.
And when you go there, you order Bob's beer if
you want, because he chooses a different beer every month.
(11:58):
And oh that's great. It was, I mean, why were
you there? A friend of mine's father who was from
a Native Utah guy who relocated out to Palace Verdes.
You know, he owns a home there, Okay, and that
I've been entertained there at the home a couple of times.
So I saw Redford just walking through the hotel. And
the hotel is beautiful and the whole thing is great,
(12:19):
but unpretentious and but but and where is sun Dance
is called sun Dance. It's a real place they used
to have the film festival there, but it got too big,
so they moved it to Park City, which is like
Aspen or something like that. So so Sundance the place
is like actually directly above where they recently had the assassination.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Is that Orum? Or yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Orum and and Provo, So right above by U and
Utah Valley.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So it's right there.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But speaking of that, I saw him and he was
a lot shorter than I thought.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
They happened listed at five to ten and I was like, no, way,
he's like five five, dude.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
He was tiny.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Like I looked down at him like would a child
or a woman, and I was like, oh my god,
that's Robert Redford.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
H speaking of Utah. He looked great. You did a
game there this weekend?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, I was. I was in a logan Utah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Did they have a commemoration?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah? They did.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Actually that's where Charlie Kirk I think, was headed Max.
Oh really so the governor ended up there at our game.
And I have never I mean I've done a lot
of games in my life, and a lot bigger places
and bigger games and motorcades and all that, but never
had like security.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So yeah, personal Security did.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
It was really weird, probably totally unnecessary, but you know
Fox did that, so yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was kind of tense.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
But we were in Logan, Utah, which was a beautiful
town and kind of like a like a time warp
like that movie Pleasantville. Very beautiful, beautiful place and Merlin
olsen Field up there.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And I got to thank you. Governor Newsom came out
today and said that the those two menendus kids are
not going to get out of prison. And he attributed
to you screaming from the top of your lungs from
the fourth here at thirty four hundred, will ive, don't do.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It, live, Yeah, don't do it, Lile.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I came around like I think I painted a cinematic picture,
that's right, you know. And it was me, you know,
coming out of the kitchen area with like a cliff bar,
you know, walking around the corner and then you know,
being confronted with the scene of Lyle holding the gun,
shaking with emotion, my standing there holding your headphones, dog,
you know, and me screaming, don't do it, Li. And
(14:29):
I think they heard that, you know that I painted
such a picture in the mind's eye kind of like
War of the World, right, But you know to.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Newsome that he said, these guys they got to stay.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
They have to stay incarcerated because we can't lose the
Tim Conway jun That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Even people who are leaning towards releasing these two kids,
you've changed their minds.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Well you know, I mean, you show somebody what could happen, right,
you know, and then they say, wow, you know, like
what is it the Christmas Carol?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Right?
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You show Ebenezer Screws. Here's what life is like without
Conway's right, That's exactly what it's like. Communist progue out there.
You know, it's gray. Everybody's sad.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I think it's even worse than that, but I'll accept that.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Everybody's holding like one loaf of bread, wheel barrel of money. Yeah,
it's to pay for one, you know what I mean.
It's kind of like, right, you know, the ghost of
Christmas future.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I appreciate that that all the cities and towns are
all dark, the electricity is out.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You blew it up, son of a bet, you blew
it up? What game do you do?
Speaker 5 (15:32):
You?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Who did it?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Was like UTAs State Air Force game? Who will toss State?
Not by U okay, but I'm a toss state one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I remember you said that when you played either the
Army or air Force, those guys can be down by
forty five points and they still played like we now
played them.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But I've done enough.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I've done a lot of Air Force games just because
of the West Coast, and it doesn't matter. It is
amazing because they have no nil they don't have any
of the things that anybody else has. They can even
red shirt players and freshmen don't even play.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And after you're done playing, you.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Got to go serve as an officer for however many years.
But they they still consistently win nine, ten eight ball
games a year in major FBS football, and it's amazing.
And the truth is it's because nobody wants. You know,
you play normal football all year long, and then one
week a year you get this sawed off white dude
(16:25):
with a flat top from Maryland launching his forehead right
into your crotch. And it doesn't matter if you're down
forty five that part, it doesn't matter if you're up
or down. They're gonna launch their military like Battle of
the bulge into your crotch.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Right into your penis.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Over and over and it's happened to me, like you know,
I've taken the helmet to the crotch. We don't wear
cups out there. You don't know that you can't run
in a cup. Like, wow, man, you wait, the NFL
doesn't use cups. No, no one uses a cop my god. No, oh,
that's unbelievable. No, another reason.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Not the bat.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
That's a catcher thing. But that's it. Everybody else anyway,
nobody wants the missile to the crotch for four quarters.
And that is why they compete, because then it's like, hey, man,
who we planned this week?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Army pray.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Some guy's gonna launch himself into my crotch for four quarters.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
You're the best, buddy, all right. I appreciate you coming in.
Petros and money over there on AM five seventy right.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Yeah, I think you doing over the show?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Are you preempted night? Are you doing? Ah?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well, you know we'll be preempted from sixty seven. Okay
the Dodger pregame, Dodger pregame. All right, buddy, appreciate you
coming in. I see you have a shirt says nineteen
seventy seven. Is that your birthday year? I was born.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, wow, one year after the birth of the two
hundredth anniversary.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Right, I'm almost a bi centennial baby.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
But funny, thank you for coming in.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I took a big picture by that big thing at Riverside.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Either way, Oh, I said, what not the ninety one
damn seventy one commemoration.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
All right, it's Conway Show. We're live on CAMF.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I'm you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. There's
going to be a big memorial for Charlie Kirk this
Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, just outside of Phoenix, Arizona, at
the State Farm Stadium. There seventy three thousand people are
expected inside, maybe a one hundred or one hundred and
fifty two undred thousand people on the outside. It's going
(18:29):
to be a big, huge event. And there's also some
controversy over the flag flying at half staff for Charlie Kirk.
And this is I believe a story about West Hollywood.
But there's also I guess it was Mayor Karen Baz
who didn't give the directive to the you know, the
(18:50):
local fire stations or police stations to lower the flag
to half staff, But some fire companies from some fire
stations did it on their own, and that's another controversy.
It's in Los Angeles. We throw a lot at you.
In LA. If you just arrived, you've got to be
on your toes twenty four hours a day. In LA,
(19:11):
we throw a lot of crap at you. Well, West Hollywood,
let's find out what they did in West Holly.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
Lowering the flags holds hue significance. In our country. We
do it for Memorial Day to honor our war veterans,
and on nine to eleven to honor the victims of
that day and first responders who worked tirelessly through that day. Well,
the flags here we want to show you are now
back at full staff, but we're at halfsap for days.
The city says they followed their policy after getting the
presidential national directive, but in light of the order being
(19:39):
used to recognize Kirk, the city is now looking to
make some possible changes. Otavio Letzma tells us he was
sitting on this bench on Sunday like he usually does
before work, and noticed the flags at half staff, including
the trans flag President Trump ordered a nationwide lowering of
flags on public buildings and grounds through sunset on Sunday
after the killing of political activist Charlie on September tenth.
(20:01):
Octavio says he understands and respects that action following Kirk's
violent death, but it shouldn't be for one person, he says,
adding the same deference has not applied following other high
profile passings.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Who the hell has controversy and is affected by a
flag halfway up the pole? Who are these people that
so outraged over this?
Speaker 8 (20:23):
This sign makes a boulder statement about the lowering of
the flags, reading in part shame on West Hollywood for
honoring Kirk, calling him racist, transphobic, and homophobic. It was
placed where the trans and Promise Pride flags stand. Kirk's
views have promoted a traditional ideology, often in contrast with
the LGBTQ plus community. West Hollywood Mayor Chelsea Buyers explains
(20:45):
why the city lowered the flags.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
We will follow the directive of the President when it
comes to how we recognize the US flag, and this
is a policy that's been long established for the city
on the books prior to this administration.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
That's right, that's right. The president decides when the flag
flies that have staff, and then all the government buildings
are supposed to lower their flag. That's been the long
standing rule.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Other states like New York and New Jersey did not
follow through with the president's order. Neither. It appears that
the City of Los Angeles, as noted by this post
from the Los Angeles Fire Department last Friday, which reads
in part, flag shall remain raised to full staff each
day and should not be lowered to half staff unless
directed by the mayor. Buyer says they are looking into
(21:26):
their policy.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Was the mayor even in town? Was she in town
or was she in Ghana? For this one? Where was
she she had in town?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
We have to look at this policy and see what
other flexibility or discretion we're able to bring knowing that
the president is going to use this policy to honor
people that may not be consistent with the values of
the city and the impact that that has individuals here,
She says, its.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
So every time the president said, hey, let's lower the
flag to have staff, then we got to do a
three week review on the person. You know, what the
person likes, were dislikes, Has he had any past duys,
has he ever yelled or raise his hand to his wife.
I mean, where does it Where does it stop?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
She says.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
In many ways, it's about keeping the democratic process and
having the public have some inputs. So in the next
weeks and months they may look at putting something on
their city council agenda, voting on it with community input,
and then finding a new resolution in again the future
here in Ujo loly tellabs nbcpoor News.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
All right, then on the other end of the spectrum,
Huntington Beach, we'll wa come back. We'll tell you what
they did in Huntington Beach, a huge memorial for Charlie
Kirk in Huntington Beach. If you're going to the State
Farm Stadium, you got to get there early. You can
get tickets online. They're pretty easy to get tickets, but
it's first come, first serve. They want you in line
(22:46):
by eight o'clock, but they said there will be people
probably in line twenty four hours before that waiting to
get inside. Its seats sixty three thousand. They're going to
add another ten thousand seats because it's not a football game,
so you can litter the field with more chairs. Seventy
three thousand people there, and you've got to be in
line by eight am. The Secret Service is going to
(23:07):
be there, so it's going to be tough to get in,
tougher to get in than if Trump wasn't there. But
the security is going to be unbelievable. The Secret Service,
the local sheriffs, the local state cops, the city cops.
I imagine, you know some my National Guard will be
there as well. But it is going to be a
(23:27):
well protected building on Sunday, So if you're going, may
want to leave today. There's going to be a lot
of traffic there as well. But if you're if you
go on Saturday, it's supposed to be one hundred and
five going through the desert, so be prepared for that
as well. But a lot of people are going, lots
of people. It might be tens of thousands of people
going from southern California to Glendale, Arizona. And for this
(23:50):
memorial all right, we're live on KFI AM six forty.
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Yeah,
thank you, Bellio. I appreciate that your hair looks great.
By the way, who's straightened it for you? Did you
straighten yourself all weekends straight. Yeah, it looks good. Yeah,
it looks so. It didn't look good before.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I had a lot of the kinks out.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't think. Did you get the kinks out?
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Crozier asked, I got most of them out thanks to
our listeners, a lot of stylists that sent me some
really great tips that I used.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So thank you, thank you, thank you. Did you do
it at home yourself? You straightened at home at home?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
A lot of moisturizing, A lot of moisturizing with the hair. Conditioning. Yeah,
conditioning basically like stripping it starting over. Yeah, if you
didn't see it. Bellio got a fro last week. Perm Wait,
your MIC's not on.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
It was a perm and it was just too tight
and stayed on way too long.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, so I had to undo it. Did you did?
Somebody dare you to do that? Or is that a no?
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Tim?
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Nobody dare me to do that? Rude?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Somebody dare you wear that shirt today?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Can we still call you belly frow? Yeah? Can we
still call you belly frow?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, right, that's how you diffuse that? He said, Oh
I don't mind it all though, mine.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I love it in the corner. I have brothers too,
you know, I know this work. You get it, I
get it, I get it. You can see the old
belly frow still up on on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I think it's on Instagram, but it's a picture of
you and Billy.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Zane, right, and then you and Billy Zane. There was
one comment that was pretty good. You should have gone
with Billy Zane's hair, said, Billy Zane's hairdo would have
been better.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So rude.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And for people to know this, Billy Zain is completely baald,
So there you go. All right, Huntington Beach and Charlie Kirk,
how are they memory remembering his life in that very
concern servative area of southern California, Huntington Beach, go down
and find out what's going on.
Speaker 11 (26:05):
And then they started putting on white masks over the face,
and then they all lined up, and then they got
the microphone out and then they started chanting white men
fight back.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
It was all too much for Huntington Beach's Jerry Geyer.
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I know what that is. We all know what that is.
That's white supremacy. So you know I have to stop that.
I cannot allow that to run through the streets of
Hunting the Beach. That's not what we are, that's not
who hunting.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
In Beach is disgusted by what he heard and saw
downtown Saturday night gyer scene here on social media video,
yelled profanities as he rode his bike alongside the group
of men.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Man, this is going to get hot, This is going
to get crazy. This is going to set a lot
of people off. You know, thank god that this didn't
happen in May or early June. You know, if this
happened in May or early June, we would have had
a very high June, July, and August where the temperature
was high, and that makes people even crazier. And this
(27:05):
could have been a brutal summer. Thank god, I mean not.
You know, today's not a perfect example, but it is
going to get cooler eventually here in southern California. I
think maybe even by this weekend. And cooler temperatures mean
cooler heads as well.
Speaker 12 (27:22):
At one point on Main Street, he tried to block
their path as they walked two by two in matching
clothes to the Charlie Kirk Memorial at the Pier, and nobody.
Speaker 11 (27:32):
There stopped them. I came in behind them on my bicycle,
and I pleaded to everybody in the pier plaza not
to let them join them, not to let them taint
what they were doing, and two or three people heard me,
the rest of them telling me to get the hell
out of there.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Barbara Richardson has lived in town since the seventies.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I was very disappointing to see something like that happening
in our city again, because I remember when we had
this type of problem in the nineteen eighties, and I
also was afraid to go downtown. I remember seeing skinheads
patrolling the.
Speaker 13 (28:06):
Streets, and I don't go down near the pier when
that kind of thing is going on because I'm afraid,
and I think many people that live in Huntington Beach
are afraid of that kind of vitriol and that kind
of kind of unreasonable response to national events.
Speaker 12 (28:26):
The mayor said in a statement that we are dedicated
to fostering a peaceful, secure and inclusive community. The City
of Huntington Beach will do everything we can to eliminate
acts of violence or inflammatory rhetoric. Of del Awa saw
the white nationalists from his downtown pizza parlor and says
scenes like this are bad for business.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
This might make them rethink and oh why would I
go there? Because they might show up again and again
and again. So it's just making it not safe.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Anymore in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 12 (28:55):
Michelle Jeeley cakel News.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
All right, so crazy, it's everywhere. I suspect that those
guys who did do that are from out of town.
I've been to Huntington Beach a million times in my life.
Never felt unsafe there, never felt that it was a
white supremacist town. It just leans a little more republican
than some of these other beach towns. And that's the
(29:17):
bottom line. A right, when we come back, we have
a state senator on with us. We'll talk about the
crime in the San Fernando Valley. Find out what's going
on the San Fernando Valley. Her name is Senator Caroline
men Javar, and she was on with her. She came
in before. She represents the San Fernando Valley. So we'll
ask her what's going on in the San Fernando Valley.
(29:40):
And this I don't know if she knows this, but
we went to the same elementary school and the same
junior high I went to in Senio Elementary and Portola
Junior High and I believe she went to the same schools,
not at the same time, little younger than I am.
But we'll come back and find out what's going on
with her. And it's nice to speak to somebody who
(30:02):
can do something in the San Fernando Valley, so we'll
find out where the problem areas are. How come the
cops are unable to really, you know, wipe out some
of this crime that we hear about every single day.
And again I don't blame LAPD, They just, you know,
the city of La just doesn't respect the cops and
(30:23):
didn't put money into law enforcement the way other cities did.
And proof of that is go to any of these
small towns. Go to Culver City, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Arcadia
and all of these towns, all these smaller towns with
their own police force. They finance it. They have the
(30:44):
right amount of cops for the city for the amount
of citizens, and they wipe out crime. But LA is
just too big and there's not enough money for cops.
They need to double the budget of the LAPD. I know,
probably an already a position, but look, they monitor and
they patrol from Chatsworth all the way to San Pedro.
(31:08):
That's LAPD from Chatsworth to San Pedro about thirty five
maybe forty miles, and that's a hell of a long commute.
Are you know, area to patrol? But you know, if
you take for instance, New York City and the boroughs
of New York City, it's probably maybe a quarter or
(31:30):
a fifth the size of LA, maybe even a tenth
of the size of LA. And yet they have thirty
seven thousand cops in New York City, thirty seven thousand.
I think we have eighty five hundred here in LA.
So the problem isn't the cops don't want to get there,
is there's not enough of them. So if you're serious
about crime, you got to start hiring more cops. That's
(31:51):
the bottom line, all right. Rely on KFI AM six
