Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k if I Am six forty and you're listening
to The Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app The Conway Show Conway Less. Today, Tim has
been felled by some kind of illness.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We don't know what it is. I don't ask a
lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm told that he was instructed by medical professionals to
take off two days. So that is what he is doing.
There is something going around. I had it last week.
It took four days to really knock it out.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
What was it it was?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It felt like just a bad cold, but I want
to say just a bad caled. It is really bad.
It's like it's like, oh man, it it was congestion.
It was you know, you just feel horrible, I mean
really horrible.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Doesn't have anything to do with allergies.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't think so. I don't think so. I've talked
to a few people. It's you know, these summer colds
are just the worst. And it's not even really you know,
obviously the hard of summer yet.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
But anyway, Tim's got something and he was instructed to
take a couple of days off for me. Uh love
coming in and the A team is here. Sometimes if
Conway has got, you know, a vacation planned, Sharon and
Conway planned the same vacation, and then Krozier he also
(01:25):
slides in with a couple of days off. And so
I come in and it's really Stuffouche, Angel and myself
from the normal team and then other film and it's fine,
and it's like kind of working with you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And I get it.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Mark get it.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I'm just trying.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I totally get it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Angel, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The other thing I've noticed, and I don't want to
say I've seen no evidence of this by the way today,
but the other thing I've noticed is that sometimes I'll
come in when Tim isn't going to be here, and
we do have Sharon, and we've got kroz or an
Angel and Staffouche, but there's a sense of kind of
like slow walking everything, you know what I mean, like
kind of kicking it. Yes, you know what I'm saying,
(02:10):
dogging it.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Yeah, No, Yeah, I totally get that.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Angel gets it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Did you feel it today?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Do you want to feel the difference?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That's fine? How dare you howl? You.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We can flip the switch question, we can make.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You feel what that's really.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The first thing I said was I see no evidence
of it today. Now look, I'm not scrutinizing it, but
I am just saying I notice it. Like when Sharon
will say, ah, you know what, all of a sudden,
she's not where she should be. She's doing something else.
I don't know what she's doing. She's on Etsy or something.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You clearly aren't here during regular time.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That may be anyway, it's everybody seems that we're not
only at full strength with Crows, Steffouch, Angel and Sharon,
but everybody seems like on their games so far. So sadly,
we have news to report that is really disturbing, and
this Baldwin Park shooting and the killing of this Baldwen
(03:09):
Park officer is just filled with bizarre, sad details.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Here are a few of them, and.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
There's so much pain in this community and so many
questions about what happened. And behind me, you can see
here at the Baldwin Park Police Department that people are coming.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
By to pay their respect to the fallen officer. As
you said, this is a horrible tragedy that might have
been triggered over a parking spot a barrage of gunfire
in this quiet neighborhood. It was on Philhurst Street with
reports of a man firing a rifle in the street.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
We just heard, you know, three loud noises and we
didn't know it was gun shots.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
People here say an innocent person was heading to a
relatives home for a party. It appears the suspect didn't
like where he was trying to park his car.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
He just came to.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
They had a house swunning party view and he just
came and.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
To up his family off.
Speaker 9 (04:05):
I try to park over there where.
Speaker 11 (04:06):
The kid told him, no, you can't park here, and
they said, okay, I'm going to move my car.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's weird because over there was apparently in front of
this other guy's house, the shooter's house, is what my
understanding was.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But he didn't park there. He parked on down the way.
Speaker 11 (04:24):
Kit told him, no, you can't park here, and they said, okay,
I'm going to move my car.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
It appears the victim then parked his car about two
blocks away.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That car is still here.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Then as he walked over to the party, the suspect
allegedly started shooting.
Speaker 12 (04:36):
It was scary.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
We were all three like watching the Dodger game, and
we thought the neighbors were celebrating and we thought like
they had fireworks, and I guess it was at firew No.
We pulled up the camera and then my mom came
outside and then we saw him laying on the floor.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I gotta say when I hear the voices of little
kids talking about this and there's been a shooting in
their neighborhood, I mean, that's the kind of environment that
these kids are living in. It's bizarre that that kind
of gun violence can just be something that they have
to digest as little kids.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
I guess it was at fire Renoal. We pulled up
the camera and then my mom came outside, and then
we saw him laying on the floor.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
And that's when Baldwin Park Police arrived at the scene.
The officers were met by gunfire and thirty five year
old officer Samuel Riveros was killed in the shootout with
the suspect. Today you can see bullet holes in the
house and car windows on this street are shattered. A
memorial of flowers and candles is now growing outside of
(05:38):
the Baldwin Park Police station. People are coming by to
remember Officer Rivero's service to the community.
Speaker 12 (05:45):
His life wasn't appreciated by whoever did.
Speaker 11 (05:48):
This, you know.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
And I just want to thank the police station here
and everywhere else because they're out there protecting us, trying.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
To protect us.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean, that's the reason I'm so pro cop.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And I understand that these cops have no idea what
they're facing every day when they go in. You know,
it could be this was a SHOT's fired situation that
he was responding to, no idea that he would never
go home. It's truly heartbreaking.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Officials have not yet released the name of that innocent
victim who was walking to that housewarming party.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Meanwhile, the suspect has been identified.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
He is twenty two year old Eduardo Roberto Medina Beruman.
He's hospitalized in stable condition. He's being held on two
counts of murder and his bail is set at four
million dollars. Reporting life from Baldwin Park, I'm Cardinal Squad
to ABC seven.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Really really rough and there was a shootout and this
poor guy, thirty five year old officer Samuel Riveros shot
and killed during that shootout.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So those are the details we know.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Again, it starts as such a benign thing, you know,
over a parking space. You can't park there, Okay, I'll
park down the way now. I don't know that that
was the way the words went down. I mean, and
I don't know what kind of state agitated or otherwise
the shooter was in. You know, it may not have
been hey man, you can't park there, or I'm sorry,
(07:24):
you can't park there. I'm guessing that that wasn't the attitude.
Things seem pretty cranked up to ten. But these again
seemingly harmless situations that you encounter every day over a
parking space, that they can escalate to this level. It's
it's an extraordinary thing. I had a road rage thing
(07:46):
happened just I want to say it was yesterday, if
not yesterday the day before. I'm the third car in
line at a light, and this just is a reminder
like these things can flare up and you don't know
who you're dealing with. And the light turned green and
no one was moving, and I gave him the honk.
(08:09):
And again I didn't to be fair, I give him
the I give him the hard honk. You know, the
there's a that's like, hey, I know you might been distracted.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's light's green. I didn't give him that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Maybe I should have given him that, and I didn't
give him the which is a little kind of moderate.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
People are going to react like that. The bee probably
does doesn't matter because I've done that light and they
go off, you get the finger, you get to pull
over on the hands up in the air like what.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm like, dude, But I made the mistake of the
hard honk. And remember, I'm not even honking at the
guy in front of me. I'm HARKing at the guy
in front of him, which is kind of why I
went with the harder honk. And uh, well, the guy
in front of me just lost it. And I'm thinking
(08:59):
the whole time as he's chasing me down, I'm thinking,
I wasn't even honking at you. And I wanted to
say I want to roll the window down and say it,
but I'm worried that when I roll the window down,
I'm going to get you know.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, I don't know what you would think they would
figure out. It wasn't for them, of course, a person
in front thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That's where my thinking was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
My point is that these situations that seem typically harmless
can escalate to a place that gets really ugly. And
this is a supreme tragedy, so we know a lot,
but it's a reminder that things can flare in an instant.
And this young officer loved the Dodgers snowboarding. I mean,
(09:41):
he's only thirty five years old and he'll have not
another day. So we all hang our heads sadly here
at KFI over this Mayor Bass has called an emergency meeting.
We will tell you about that as we continue.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's The Conway Show. Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim,
who is sick today. The mayor responding to the violence
in Colorado, the alleged terror attack on Jewish demonstrators in Colorado.
Mayor Bess in Los Angeles, I got to say something
just as in the side that I'll let you hear
from the mayor. You know, when you live in LA
(10:33):
or you live in a big city, you kind of
sign on to I do anyway some sort of big
city problems. So it's not that we don't complain about them,
or aren't aware of them or try to solve them.
I mean homelessness, crime, overcrowding, insufficient housing, whatever it might be, prices, traffic.
But man, when violence of the sort that we've seen
(10:54):
over the weekend breaks out, man, it's just like it's
hard to bake that into your vision of life in
this city. And so when the mayor of your city
has to come out and go, hey, just in response
to the terror attack in Colorado, we're doing such and such,
it's like, wow, it's like yet another element that makes
(11:15):
life just a little less livable. But to be fair,
you want to hear from public officials to say, hey,
they're doing something about this. So anyway, the mayor commenting
on changes here in Los Angeles regarding in part what
happened in Colorado.
Speaker 14 (11:34):
After that attack in Colorado, Ellie's mayor set there's going
to be extra patrol at houses of worship and community centers. Meanwhile,
about an hour ago, authorities in Boulder held a news
conference and talked about that attack and more on the
alleged motive.
Speaker 15 (11:50):
Mister Solomon stated that he had been planning this attack
for a year and he acted because he hated what
he called the Zionist group.
Speaker 14 (11:58):
Four additional victims have been identif to fight in Sunday's
attack in Boulder, Colorado, bringing the total number of those
injured to twelve.
Speaker 15 (12:05):
For what the charges allege that he did was the
throw molotov cocktails, had a group of men and women,
some of them in their late eighties, burning them as
they peacefully walked on a Sunday.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
He said he.
Speaker 15 (12:23):
Wanted them all to die. He had no regrets, and
he would go back and.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Do it again.
Speaker 14 (12:28):
The suspect, forty five year old Mohammed Solomon, an Egyptian
citizen who had overstayed his visa, is facing charges including
federal hate crime and multiple counts of attempted murder.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Boy, did he pick the wrong time to pull this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I just feel as though he's damaged the plight of
a lot of people who want to come to this
country legitimately for legitimate you know, fleeing whatever hors are
going on in their country, and then makes the argument
for stricter enforcement of those who have deadlines on visas
(13:05):
days this guy overstayed.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
His He allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device
to attack a group who had been doing demonstrations to
bring attention to Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Saw flyer I saw people falling and screaming and crying
and tripping.
Speaker 14 (13:20):
Authority say he yelled free Palestine. During the attack, sixteen
unused molotov cocktails were recovered by law enforcement. It happened Sunday,
on the eve of Shave Wilte, a two day Jewish holiday,
and the attack came a week after a deadly shooting
outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
The truth is that Jewish Americans have been deeply concerned
for the last year and a half, after the brutal
Hamas attacks of October seventh, twenty twenty three, about the
incredible levels of incitement against not just Israelis, but Jews
around the world.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean, it is true that this Hall incident, everything
going on in God is sort of being used in
many ways as open season for anti Semitism. And the
other thing is and this is the problem that you know,
it all runs together. You know, you don't you feel
as though criticism of Israel is fair, but there's no
(14:15):
need or want shouldn't be to turn on the Jewish community.
This guy obviously has a you know, he's a radical,
wacko who's looking to kill as many people as he can.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean, I hope he never sees the light of day.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But you see how all of this stuff washes together
and creates a much more problematic situation.
Speaker 14 (14:34):
Ebrakamille is from the Simon Weisenthal Center, which aims to
combat anti Semitism, and hete.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
We want also the general public to understand that words
have consequences, Incitement has consequences.
Speaker 14 (14:47):
In LA many Jewish places of worship have increased security.
Speaker 16 (14:51):
It's a significant responsibility being out here providing security for
so many different synagogues, and you have over a few
hundred people any synagogue at any given time.
Speaker 14 (15:03):
ELI Mayor Karen Bass posted a statement on x saying
what happened in Boulder is an atrocious affront to the
very fabric of our society and our beliefs here in
Los Angeles. And Mayor Karen Bass also said that she
will call an emergency meeting at city Hall after this
Jewish holiday to discuss safety and security here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I mean, that's what has to happen, right. They need
an action plan, which is what they're going to do
accord at which what they're going to do they'll impanel
a group to come up with an action plan. According
to the mayor, something big happened in Big Bear. It's
created a little bit of a controversy. Have our big
(15:44):
wildlife segment next? And something else happened. It wasn't in
Big Bear. In fact, it was a world away even
from this country, and yet it may affect plans being
made in this country. I will give you the tales
as we continued.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's The Conway Show on KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tim Back soon. He's just sick.
Mark Thompson sitting in Something happened. It's just happened. The
other end of the world, a lion has killed a
man in a remote area of northwest to Namibia in Africa.
(16:33):
The reason I particularly take interest in this is because
I'm planning a trip to Africa this summer. I'm going
for the Great Migration.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
It's this.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Amazing thing. If you can put it together, and I'm
still trying to put it together. I don't know that
we're going to be able to, but so I'm kind
of watching news out of Africa. By the way, but
this hasn't done some kind of news out of Africa
feed this hit news. Lion kills man at Safari lodge
after he leaves the tent to use the toilet. It
(17:09):
seems to me like that's something I might do. I
could see myself leaving the tent to use the toilet.
I could see any of us doing that. I mean,
I'm thinking maybe this guy who's fifty nine years old
camping with his wife and friends near Honabib Skeleton Coast
(17:31):
camp in an area in Namibia. He was attacked when
he stepped out of his tent to use the toilet.
Other campers managed to scare off the lion, but the
guy using the toilet who was attacked was already dead
by then. Police say that a full report will be submitted,
(17:58):
But it looks like he was a philanthropist who was
supporting wildlife conservation in Namibia. I mean, in other words,
he kind of knows the territory. You wouldn't expect that
he'd be the victim of an attack like this. The
desert adapted lions roam the remote northwest area of the country,
where mountains and sand dunes meet, they say. In twenty
(18:21):
twenty three, they were estimated to be around sixty adults
and more than a dozen cubs lions. That is right,
but their numbers have dipped in recent months following a
drought induced drop in prey and conflict with humans. Last August,
Namibia authorized the culling of hundreds of animals, including elephants,
(18:43):
as part of a plan to feed people in this
drought stricken area.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's kind of a.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Bizarre thing because some of these animals are endangered, but
the government views them as less important than the people
who are endangered. This is the second deadly lion attack
in Africa in less than six weeks. In April, a
lion killed a fourteen year old girl outside of Kenya's capital,
in a ranch to the south of the Nairobi National Park.
(19:13):
Kenya is where we are going. Kenya is where I
am going.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I wondered, maybe this guy was at some discount camp
with you know, you're out there in the wilderness set up.
You have to leave the tent to go to the bathroom.
Now he was killed at a luxury lodge in the
remote northwest part of Namibia. It's a high end place,
(19:48):
so you can't avoid nature sometimes. And then I'm thinking
going to the bathroom in the middle of the night
is something that you know, we all do, and some
of us, as we get older, do it more frequently,
which apparently increases my exposure to being mauled by a lion.
Namibia is on the other side of Africa from Kenya,
(20:11):
where we're going to be going if this thing comes together.
But as I say, the fourteen year old girl killed
outside of Kenya's capital in a ranch that's you know,
ground zero where we will be. It's exciting Africa, right,
It's so different. It's so full of wildlife, of a
(20:33):
sense of the past, of a sense of history. But
it's also scary dangerous, and that's one of the ways
that that danger can manifest itself. I don't know if
you saw this in this country. There was a selfie
that I think I was literally sitting in this studio
with Tim and we're watching one of those shows inside
(20:54):
Edition or some kind of news show, and there's a
woman and this is at a national park here in
this country, taking a selfie right alongside a bison. And
the selfie they tell you don't get within fifty feet
I think, I don't know. It varies park to park,
the distance you have to keep and of course all
(21:15):
of these things are warnings that they give you over
and over. There's signage posted and that's done for your protection,
also for the protection of the animal.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So she didn't respect that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You see this cute woman in shorts taking different selfies
she might have taken, I don't know. It was like
thirty seconds. She's standing right next to this bison. And
I mentioned this because had the bison attacked her a
she would have been mauled, perhaps killed. But b what
(21:45):
happens to the bison. They have to euthanize it, They
have to destroy the bison. Same thing with the lions story.
Isn't that what you told me, Sharon. You told me
that they.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Had to put the lioness down, which I don't understand
that when you know, the lioness is in their world.
So this person's in their world and they put the
lioness down.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, you'd say it's as though, right, that person, that
guy who was going to the bathroom, if you will,
he was in their world. To use your words, you're right,
I mean, it's the this is the area that the
lioness is roaming, and similarly, the woman with the selfie,
she's taking a picture right alongside the bison. Bison didn't move,
(22:28):
but she's into an.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Encroaching on his territory.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Why are both those animals going to be destroyed if
there's an incident. In the case the lioness, she was destroyed.
In the case of the bison, it lives on because
it didn't attack the woman. But the answer is because
if you apparently, if you let the animal go on right,
then it particularly in the case the lion, it has
a taste for human blood, human flesh, et cetera, and
(22:58):
that I guess is passed on or it becomes You
begin to see the logic. It's sad logic, but it's
sort of logic. Same thing is true of the bison.
So I mean, in other words, you can't have these
creatures attacking. But I'm with you. I mean, like, obviously
the real victim here in a way is the creature.
(23:21):
Although my heart breaks for this philanthropist and activist who
was there in a luxury camp who gets mauled by
the lion.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Don't they have a strict policies that you know, there's
guards that chase the animals away, so they're never allowed
outside their tents or whatever from sunset to sunrise exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't get that, I really don't. I mean, why
aren't there facilities that don't require you to walk out
into the wilderness. I mean, you know, maybe they should
take a meeting on that. I mean, this is crazy.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
So there's that, And wouldn't it just be the inherent
risk of going into an area such as that with
or without security or people keeping the wild animals away.
I mean, you're you're in Africa out to see wild animals,
and just as Sharon had said it, you're in their place.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You're in their house.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
So it sounds like like if you go out surfing
or something and you get by a jellyfish or bit
by a shark, they're not going to go take out
the jellyfish or the shark, and reason being, you're in
their house and it's just part of the inherent risk
of surfing or going into the water or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
But yeah, I was just going to say, these carnivorous
creatures who have a taste then for human flesh. Maybe
that's the thinking on it. I Mean that was sort
of my general understanding of it. Why but I'm with you.
I mean, but to share point, how come you can't
protect me? I've paid all this money. I mean, just
(25:05):
keep it a secure area from my tent to the bathroom.
That's all I'm asking. I'm not asking you to, you know,
cover me as I run into the into the into
the desert area through the serengetti. I'm not asking you to,
you know, to return fire. All I'm asking you to
do is cover me from here to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Or put the bathroom inside the tent.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Thank you, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
But I think you're going to be fine, Mark, because
if it's the Great Migration, you know, these lions are
going to have other dining options.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's a very good point, very good point. Thank you.
Angel you talked me off the ledge. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
And you don't have a lot of meat on your bones.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Thank well.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Taste like stage.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The show just got a massive upgrade. That's right. I
yield to no man, boy boy, you don't have him? Yeah,
oh my god, seriously. Yeah, Now it's feeling about Leno
is going to come on and now he's well, here's
a problem. Leno calls at the end of the last segment.
(26:14):
I saw the hotline. I didn't know it was Leno.
Then he's got to sit through like a day and
a half of commercials. That's probably and he's not you know,
he's like, he's Jay Leno. He's not going to sit
through a bunch of commercials. I mean, especially if Tim's
not here. So this is what happens. Yeah, I'm sure
he's thinking.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't know. I mean he is out of the
the phone dropped because he always has issues with this phone.
Oh that's true. Yeah, I think he was driving. He
has that flip phone. Yeah, may not.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
But Jay, if you're listening, we love you. Call us back.
Uh so much for my big intro. I'll have to
save it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Okay. I love his I love the car show that
he does. Now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, I never thought that would that's become like a
big deal. That chills a top rated show. It's really good.
The thing about Leno is he collects these cars and
there's a story to go with every car. How he
got it, what it was like at the time that
they produced this car, what it was in response to
(27:18):
it's kind of cool, but anyway, we'll have him in minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Should he call us back?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, the FAA is launching an emergency task force to
insure safety flying in and out of Newark Airport. Many
issues in and out of Newark. As you know, even
someone like Jay Leno would have trouble flying in and
out of Newark. They don't care who you are. The
disruptions are serious, and the FAA is considering temporary flight
(27:49):
reductions in and out of Newark as they launched this
emergency task force. You have him now, Okay? Are you sure?
I don't want to do a big intro again? And
then you can pull the rug out from under me.
He's ready.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
All right, The.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Show's about too. As I was saying, undergo a major upgrade.
How about it for the great Jay Leno?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You got it?
Speaker 12 (28:12):
Hey, mark a door?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
All right, Leno, this is the best. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Well, let me ask you something now. You you mentioned
that the uh, the guy was attacked at the luxury hotel.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Correct it was a luxury camp I think camp set up? Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yeah, yeah, Well that's called the Lion is the King
of the jungle. Of course he's going to be at
the luxury one. You know, if you got down to
the Motel six, it's all baboons. Awesome, it's all the Yeah,
of course the king of the jungle is going to
be at the risk.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Carl, I didn't even factor in the royalty thing. Yeah,
you're absolutely right.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
Of course. Of course every group has a cass.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I see if you're just joining us, there was a
there's a it's a it was a an African Safari.
Sy African Safari set up guys going to the restroom,
to the bathroom that they set up there and he's
mauled and killed by this lion.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And as Leno says, you know, the lion is the
king of the jungle. It is true.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
That's why he's at the luxury hotel. You know, Mark,
you remind me that you remember that woman a couple
of years ago to suit the park Service because she
was walking in the woods in the tree tree branch
hit her in the face and she sooned because the
tree branch was too low.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I don't remember that. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, you're
saying there's an assumed risk? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 12 (29:35):
Yeah, Hello, why don't we go some why don't we
camp with our lions? Good idea, Bob.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, Jay, to be fair to the guy, don't
you think you set up in places where you can
secure the area where you're sleeping.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
Well, yeah, but I like people saying, well, you know,
he also works for the conservation of animals, like the
animals are like, like the animals have read all his literature?
You know, should we eat him because you know he
seems to be helping? Yeah, you're when I'm were after
the guy who just shoots animals willing. Hey, let's seat
that guy. It doesn't really work that way.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, yes, sadly it does not. Sadly it does not.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, have you ever been Jay, You've been all over
the world. You've played these, you know, corporate gigs all
over the world Asia.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Have you been to the continent of Africa?
Speaker 12 (30:24):
No, I haven't for you yet. There's not a lot
of gigs for clubs that have lions roaming around.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You don't there's Namibia isn't big on the yuck yucks
in Namibia isn't open anymore.
Speaker 12 (30:36):
Oh. No, you see, I help conserve the environment by
not going into it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Hey, Jake, I I have a question. I have a
car question for you.
Speaker 12 (30:48):
Go ahead, all.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right, I'm getting rid of my Tesla, okay, and I'm
looking at other electric cars. And you know, I had
that hell Cat a few years ago, which I really
like muscle car because there's a fifteen year old in
me somewhere that really never could never had a car
when it was a teenager and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Anyway, Uh, they.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Just came out, as you know, with these uh this
Dodge scat pack, uh, Daytona and it is like the
Hellcat if you will, are like the Challenger Charger world,
but it's electric.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Have you driven it?
Speaker 12 (31:25):
Yeah? You know, if you want a fast electric car,
you get a test that's a fast but Loucid is fast.
Speaker 16 (31:32):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (31:33):
If you look into a reasonable electric the Ionic five
I think it's called by Hyundai. Right, that's great, that's
really really good. Now are you getting you're you're your
testilon because of political pressure or are you just kind
of training.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'll tell you the truth. I'm just kind of over it.
It's it's a little too light a ride for me,
Like it doesn't feel like a sturdy enough ride.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
It starts to bother me.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
The windows at high speeds kind of make that whistling sounds.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You know, it's.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
A you have to close them all the way.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I see, damn it. It was such a simple solution. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (32:07):
Again, this is like like the lion, it's the Ritz Carlton.
It's the same thing. He's the king of the jungle
cause he's going to be at the Ritz Carlton.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I never thought of closing them all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, yeah, any other problems is that you was that
your engine leto that we just heard?
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Yes, I am in a three fifty r Mustang. It's
quite fast. Yeah, this is a very fast guy.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Oh my god, Oh my god. Sounds nice. Yeah, it does.
It sounds like quite the roar.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
By the way, Jay, The wild thing about that e
Dodge Daytona the electric car, is that that sound that
we just heard from your car. Of course it doesn't
make because it's an electric car. So what have they done?
They put speakers in.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
It's a manufactured noise, right, it's a bit like a
blow up doll that moans.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Know it's Jay's right. They actually, Yeah, so you'll hear
that sound if you want. You get one like a
button on the console and it will make that noise
even though it has no engine that actually makes that noise.
Speaker 12 (33:14):
Well, why don't you just put put baseball cards in
your and your bicycle spoken make the same noise. I
mean that that's all it is. It's just a noise.
It doesn't make it go faster. There's no reason why
you would have that, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, well apparently it's not selling very well, is the problem.
I think the people who drive those cars, you know,
they want that. They want to combustion engine.
Speaker 12 (33:35):
Yeah, well they want the real thing, you know, exactly right.
It's like a lion going to the Hampton Inn. They
don't go there.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
How do you decide what car you're going to drive
every day? Jay?
Speaker 12 (33:46):
Well, that's the first world problem. No whatever happened to
you're working on, or if I just changed the oil,
or if I I'll take it out on the road
I had. I had a leak in my sixty eight
yards Dodge. I was driving that earlier today.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah see, you know the last thing over late. But
let me just ask you, Jaye, do you mind telling
the story about I don't know, this is a terrible
thing to be. You were driving a convertible and there
was a parade. Do you know what I'm talking about
that story.
Speaker 12 (34:16):
I just thought that's still a long time. But no.
My wife and I were driving my fifty seven Viewer convertible. Okay,
so we're in West Hollywood. As we go across Santa Monica,
there's a parade going on and it's the Gay Pride Parade.
So Maria says, oh, we can't get across because there's
a there's a parade going on. Okay. So I was
(34:39):
about to figure out how A cop goes, oh, Jack,
come on, come on, come on, I don't come on.
And now he thinks, because I'm driving this fifty seven viewer,
which is an antique card, I'm in the parade. So
he guys been so now maybe was high going down
thanks to the pointing gaze. Day I got no problem,
you know. And my wife happened. She's all, I think
(35:01):
you're gay, honey, they think you're a lesbian, okay, And
we're just waving at people. It was actually a lot
of fun. It was it wassical. I was just trying
to get across Santa Monica boulevards and now I'm down,
and then and there's and the two guys in front
of me are in the stimpiest bikinis and the standing
on the back of a truck dancing. I'm don okay,
(35:22):
this is like the craziest day of my life. It
was really fun.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I thought of.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
You because the Pride Parade was yesterday. I literally thought
of that story. I just loved that story. Uh, jay
you're the you're the best to call us and uh
and to weigh in and to give us the rumble
of the Leno mustang.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Uh well, thank you, my friend. Listen, you take care,
I'll talk to you.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Don't give my best, all right, you gotta jay leto everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Wow, man, that engine just has to be immense to
put out that kind of sound, doesn't the crozier I mean,
that's gotta be a.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
He was showing off. Oh come on, it's the Conway Show.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app The Conway Show Conway Less. Today, Tim has
been felled by some kind of illness.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We don't know what it is. I don't ask a
lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm told that he was instructed by medical professionals to
take off two days. So that is what he is doing.
There is something going around. I had it last week.
It took four days to really knock it out.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
What was it it was?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It felt like just a bad cold, but I want
to say just a bad caled. It is really bad.
It's like it's like, oh man, it it was congestion.
It was you know, you just feel horrible, I mean
really horrible.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Doesn't have anything to do with allergies.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't think so. I don't think so. I've talked
to a few people. It's you know, these summer colds
are just the worst. And it's not even really you know,
obviously the hard of summer yet.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
But anyway, Tim's got something and he was instructed to
take a couple of days off for me. Uh love
coming in and the A team is here. Sometimes if
Conway has got, you know, a vacation planned, Sharon and
Conway planned the same vacation, and then Krozier he also
(01:25):
slides in with a couple of days off. And so
I come in and it's really Stuffouche, Angel and myself
from the normal team and then other film and it's fine,
and it's like kind of working with you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
And I get it.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Mark get it.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I'm just trying.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I totally get it.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Angel, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The other thing I've noticed, and I don't want to
say I've seen no evidence of this by the way today,
but the other thing I've noticed is that sometimes I'll
come in when Tim isn't going to be here, and
we do have Sharon, and we've got kroz or an
Angel and Staffouche, but there's a sense of kind of
like slow walking everything, you know what I mean, like
kind of kicking it. Yes, you know what I'm saying,
(02:10):
dogging it.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Yeah, No, Yeah, I totally get that.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Angel gets it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Did you feel it today?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Do you want to feel the difference?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That's fine? How dare you howl? You.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We can flip the switch question, we can make.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You feel what that's really.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The first thing I said was I see no evidence
of it today. Now look, I'm not scrutinizing it, but
I am just saying I notice it. Like when Sharon
will say, ah, you know what, all of a sudden,
she's not where she should be. She's doing something else.
I don't know what she's doing. She's on Etsy or something.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You clearly aren't here during regular time.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
That may be anyway, it's everybody seems that we're not
only at full strength with Crows, Steffouch, Angel and Sharon,
but everybody seems like on their games so far. So sadly,
we have news to report that is really disturbing, and
this Baldwin Park shooting and the killing of this Baldwen
(03:09):
Park officer is just filled with bizarre, sad details.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Here are a few of them, and.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
There's so much pain in this community and so many
questions about what happened. And behind me, you can see
here at the Baldwin Park Police Department that people are coming.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
By to pay their respect to the fallen officer. As
you said, this is a horrible tragedy that might have
been triggered over a parking spot a barrage of gunfire
in this quiet neighborhood. It was on Philhurst Street with
reports of a man firing a rifle in the street.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
We just heard, you know, three loud noises and we
didn't know it was gun shots.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
People here say an innocent person was heading to a
relatives home for a party. It appears the suspect didn't
like where he was trying to park his car.
Speaker 10 (03:57):
He just came to.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
They had a house swunning party view and he just
came and.
Speaker 10 (04:03):
To up his family off.
Speaker 9 (04:05):
I try to park over there where.
Speaker 11 (04:06):
The kid told him, no, you can't park here, and
they said, okay, I'm going to move my car.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's weird because over there was apparently in front of
this other guy's house, the shooter's house, is what my
understanding was.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But he didn't park there. He parked on down the way.
Speaker 11 (04:24):
Kit told him, no, you can't park here, and they said, okay,
I'm going to move my car.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
It appears the victim then parked his car about two
blocks away.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That car is still here.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Then as he walked over to the party, the suspect
allegedly started shooting.
Speaker 12 (04:36):
It was scary.
Speaker 9 (04:36):
We were all three like watching the Dodger game, and
we thought the neighbors were celebrating and we thought like
they had fireworks, and I guess it was at firew No.
We pulled up the camera and then my mom came
outside and then we saw him laying on the floor.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I gotta say when I hear the voices of little
kids talking about this and there's been a shooting in
their neighborhood, I mean, that's the kind of environment that
these kids are living in. It's bizarre that that kind
of gun violence can just be something that they have
to digest as little kids.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
I guess it was at fire Renoal. We pulled up
the camera and then my mom came outside, and then
we saw him laying on the floor.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
And that's when Baldwin Park Police arrived at the scene.
The officers were met by gunfire and thirty five year
old officer Samuel Riveros was killed in the shootout with
the suspect. Today you can see bullet holes in the
house and car windows on this street are shattered. A
memorial of flowers and candles is now growing outside of
(05:38):
the Baldwin Park Police station. People are coming by to
remember Officer Rivero's service to the community.
Speaker 12 (05:45):
His life wasn't appreciated by whoever did.
Speaker 11 (05:48):
This, you know.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
And I just want to thank the police station here
and everywhere else because they're out there protecting us, trying.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
To protect us.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean, that's the reason I'm so pro cop.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And I understand that these cops have no idea what
they're facing every day when they go in. You know,
it could be this was a SHOT's fired situation that
he was responding to, no idea that he would never
go home. It's truly heartbreaking.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
Officials have not yet released the name of that innocent
victim who was walking to that housewarming party.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Meanwhile, the suspect has been identified.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
He is twenty two year old Eduardo Roberto Medina Beruman.
He's hospitalized in stable condition. He's being held on two
counts of murder and his bail is set at four
million dollars. Reporting life from Baldwin Park, I'm Cardinal Squad
to ABC seven.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Really really rough and there was a shootout and this
poor guy, thirty five year old officer Samuel Riveros shot
and killed during that shootout.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
So those are the details we know.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Again, it starts as such a benign thing, you know,
over a parking space. You can't park there, Okay, I'll
park down the way now. I don't know that that
was the way the words went down. I mean, and
I don't know what kind of state agitated or otherwise
the shooter was in. You know, it may not have
been hey man, you can't park there, or I'm sorry,
(07:24):
you can't park there. I'm guessing that that wasn't the attitude.
Things seem pretty cranked up to ten. But these again
seemingly harmless situations that you encounter every day over a
parking space, that they can escalate to this level. It's
it's an extraordinary thing. I had a road rage thing
(07:46):
happened just I want to say it was yesterday, if
not yesterday the day before. I'm the third car in
line at a light, and this just is a reminder
like these things can flare up and you don't know
who you're dealing with. And the light turned green and
no one was moving, and I gave him the honk.
(08:09):
And again I didn't to be fair, I give him
the I give him the hard honk. You know, the
there's a that's like, hey, I know you might been distracted.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's light's green. I didn't give him that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Maybe I should have given him that, and I didn't
give him the which is a little kind of moderate.
Speaker 13 (08:27):
People are going to react like that. The bee probably
does doesn't matter because I've done that light and they
go off, you get the finger, you get to pull
over on the hands up in the air like what.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm like, dude, But I made the mistake of the
hard honk. And remember, I'm not even honking at the
guy in front of me. I'm HARKing at the guy
in front of him, which is kind of why I
went with the harder honk. And uh, well, the guy
in front of me just lost it. And I'm thinking
(08:59):
the whole time as he's chasing me down, I'm thinking,
I wasn't even honking at you. And I wanted to
say I want to roll the window down and say it,
but I'm worried that when I roll the window down,
I'm going to get you know.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, I don't know what you would think they would
figure out. It wasn't for them, of course, a person
in front thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That's where my thinking was.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
My point is that these situations that seem typically harmless
can escalate to a place that gets really ugly. And
this is a supreme tragedy, so we know a lot,
but it's a reminder that things can flare in an instant.
And this young officer loved the Dodgers snowboarding. I mean,
(09:41):
he's only thirty five years old and he'll have not
another day. So we all hang our heads sadly here
at KFI over this Mayor Bass has called an emergency meeting.
We will tell you about that as we continue.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It's The Conway Show. Mark Thompson sitting in for Tim,
who is sick today. The mayor responding to the violence
in Colorado, the alleged terror attack on Jewish demonstrators in Colorado.
Mayor Bess in Los Angeles, I got to say something
just as in the side that I'll let you hear
from the mayor. You know, when you live in LA
(10:33):
or you live in a big city, you kind of
sign on to I do anyway some sort of big
city problems. So it's not that we don't complain about them,
or aren't aware of them or try to solve them.
I mean homelessness, crime, overcrowding, insufficient housing, whatever it might be, prices, traffic.
But man, when violence of the sort that we've seen
(10:54):
over the weekend breaks out, man, it's just like it's
hard to bake that into your vision of life in
this city. And so when the mayor of your city
has to come out and go, hey, just in response
to the terror attack in Colorado, we're doing such and such,
it's like, wow, it's like yet another element that makes
(11:15):
life just a little less livable. But to be fair,
you want to hear from public officials to say, hey,
they're doing something about this. So anyway, the mayor commenting
on changes here in Los Angeles regarding in part what
happened in Colorado.
Speaker 14 (11:34):
After that attack in Colorado, Ellie's mayor set there's going
to be extra patrol at houses of worship and community centers. Meanwhile,
about an hour ago, authorities in Boulder held a news
conference and talked about that attack and more on the
alleged motive.
Speaker 15 (11:50):
Mister Solomon stated that he had been planning this attack
for a year and he acted because he hated what
he called the Zionist group.
Speaker 14 (11:58):
Four additional victims have been identif to fight in Sunday's
attack in Boulder, Colorado, bringing the total number of those
injured to twelve.
Speaker 15 (12:05):
For what the charges allege that he did was the
throw molotov cocktails, had a group of men and women,
some of them in their late eighties, burning them as
they peacefully walked on a Sunday.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
He said he.
Speaker 15 (12:23):
Wanted them all to die. He had no regrets, and
he would go back and.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Do it again.
Speaker 14 (12:28):
The suspect, forty five year old Mohammed Solomon, an Egyptian
citizen who had overstayed his visa, is facing charges including
federal hate crime and multiple counts of attempted murder.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Boy, did he pick the wrong time to pull this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
I just feel as though he's damaged the plight of
a lot of people who want to come to this
country legitimately for legitimate you know, fleeing whatever hors are
going on in their country, and then makes the argument
for stricter enforcement of those who have deadlines on visas
(13:05):
days this guy overstayed.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
His He allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device
to attack a group who had been doing demonstrations to
bring attention to Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Saw flyer I saw people falling and screaming and crying
and tripping.
Speaker 14 (13:20):
Authority say he yelled free Palestine. During the attack, sixteen
unused molotov cocktails were recovered by law enforcement. It happened Sunday,
on the eve of Shave Wilte, a two day Jewish holiday,
and the attack came a week after a deadly shooting
outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
The truth is that Jewish Americans have been deeply concerned
for the last year and a half, after the brutal
Hamas attacks of October seventh, twenty twenty three, about the
incredible levels of incitement against not just Israelis, but Jews
around the world.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I mean, it is true that this Hall incident, everything
going on in God is sort of being used in
many ways as open season for anti Semitism. And the
other thing is and this is the problem that you know,
it all runs together. You know, you don't you feel
as though criticism of Israel is fair, but there's no
(14:15):
need or want shouldn't be to turn on the Jewish community.
This guy obviously has a you know, he's a radical,
wacko who's looking to kill as many people as he can.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I mean, I hope he never sees the light of day.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But you see how all of this stuff washes together
and creates a much more problematic situation.
Speaker 14 (14:34):
Ebrakamille is from the Simon Weisenthal Center, which aims to
combat anti Semitism, and hete.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
We want also the general public to understand that words
have consequences, Incitement has consequences.
Speaker 14 (14:47):
In LA many Jewish places of worship have increased security.
Speaker 16 (14:51):
It's a significant responsibility being out here providing security for
so many different synagogues, and you have over a few
hundred people any synagogue at any given time.
Speaker 14 (15:03):
ELI Mayor Karen Bass posted a statement on x saying
what happened in Boulder is an atrocious affront to the
very fabric of our society and our beliefs here in
Los Angeles. And Mayor Karen Bass also said that she
will call an emergency meeting at city Hall after this
Jewish holiday to discuss safety and security here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I mean, that's what has to happen, right. They need
an action plan, which is what they're going to do
accord at which what they're going to do they'll impanel
a group to come up with an action plan. According
to the mayor, something big happened in Big Bear. It's
created a little bit of a controversy. Have our big
(15:44):
wildlife segment next? And something else happened. It wasn't in
Big Bear. In fact, it was a world away even
from this country, and yet it may affect plans being
made in this country. I will give you the tales
as we continued.
Speaker 10 (16:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's The Conway Show on KFI AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Tim Back soon. He's just sick.
Mark Thompson sitting in Something happened. It's just happened. The
other end of the world, a lion has killed a
man in a remote area of northwest to Namibia in Africa.
(16:33):
The reason I particularly take interest in this is because
I'm planning a trip to Africa this summer. I'm going
for the Great Migration.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
It's this.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Amazing thing. If you can put it together, and I'm
still trying to put it together. I don't know that
we're going to be able to, but so I'm kind
of watching news out of Africa. By the way, but
this hasn't done some kind of news out of Africa
feed this hit news. Lion kills man at Safari lodge
after he leaves the tent to use the toilet. It
(17:09):
seems to me like that's something I might do. I
could see myself leaving the tent to use the toilet.
I could see any of us doing that. I mean,
I'm thinking maybe this guy who's fifty nine years old
camping with his wife and friends near Honabib Skeleton Coast
(17:31):
camp in an area in Namibia. He was attacked when
he stepped out of his tent to use the toilet.
Other campers managed to scare off the lion, but the
guy using the toilet who was attacked was already dead
by then. Police say that a full report will be submitted,
(17:58):
But it looks like he was a philanthropist who was
supporting wildlife conservation in Namibia. I mean, in other words,
he kind of knows the territory. You wouldn't expect that
he'd be the victim of an attack like this. The
desert adapted lions roam the remote northwest area of the country,
where mountains and sand dunes meet, they say. In twenty
(18:21):
twenty three, they were estimated to be around sixty adults
and more than a dozen cubs lions. That is right,
but their numbers have dipped in recent months following a
drought induced drop in prey and conflict with humans. Last August,
Namibia authorized the culling of hundreds of animals, including elephants,
(18:43):
as part of a plan to feed people in this
drought stricken area.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's kind of a.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Bizarre thing because some of these animals are endangered, but
the government views them as less important than the people
who are endangered. This is the second deadly lion attack
in Africa in less than six weeks. In April, a
lion killed a fourteen year old girl outside of Kenya's capital,
in a ranch to the south of the Nairobi National Park.
(19:13):
Kenya is where we are going. Kenya is where I
am going.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I wondered, maybe this guy was at some discount camp
with you know, you're out there in the wilderness set up.
You have to leave the tent to go to the bathroom.
Now he was killed at a luxury lodge in the
remote northwest part of Namibia. It's a high end place,
(19:48):
so you can't avoid nature sometimes. And then I'm thinking
going to the bathroom in the middle of the night
is something that you know, we all do, and some
of us, as we get older, do it more frequently,
which apparently increases my exposure to being mauled by a lion.
Namibia is on the other side of Africa from Kenya,
(20:11):
where we're going to be going if this thing comes together.
But as I say, the fourteen year old girl killed
outside of Kenya's capital in a ranch that's you know,
ground zero where we will be. It's exciting Africa, right,
It's so different. It's so full of wildlife, of a
(20:33):
sense of the past, of a sense of history. But
it's also scary dangerous, and that's one of the ways
that that danger can manifest itself. I don't know if
you saw this in this country. There was a selfie
that I think I was literally sitting in this studio
with Tim and we're watching one of those shows inside
(20:54):
Edition or some kind of news show, and there's a
woman and this is at a national park here in
this country, taking a selfie right alongside a bison. And
the selfie they tell you don't get within fifty feet
I think, I don't know. It varies park to park,
the distance you have to keep and of course all
(21:15):
of these things are warnings that they give you over
and over. There's signage posted and that's done for your protection,
also for the protection of the animal.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
So she didn't respect that.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You see this cute woman in shorts taking different selfies
she might have taken, I don't know. It was like
thirty seconds. She's standing right next to this bison. And
I mentioned this because had the bison attacked her a
she would have been mauled, perhaps killed. But b what
(21:45):
happens to the bison. They have to euthanize it, They
have to destroy the bison. Same thing with the lions story.
Isn't that what you told me, Sharon. You told me
that they.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Had to put the lioness down, which I don't understand
that when you know, the lioness is in their world.
So this person's in their world and they put the
lioness down.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, you'd say it's as though, right, that person, that
guy who was going to the bathroom, if you will,
he was in their world. To use your words, you're right,
I mean, it's the this is the area that the
lioness is roaming, and similarly, the woman with the selfie,
she's taking a picture right alongside the bison. Bison didn't move,
(22:28):
but she's into an.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Encroaching on his territory.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Why are both those animals going to be destroyed if
there's an incident. In the case the lioness, she was destroyed.
In the case of the bison, it lives on because
it didn't attack the woman. But the answer is because
if you apparently, if you let the animal go on right,
then it particularly in the case the lion, it has
a taste for human blood, human flesh, et cetera, and
(22:58):
that I guess is passed on or it becomes You
begin to see the logic. It's sad logic, but it's
sort of logic. Same thing is true of the bison.
So I mean, in other words, you can't have these
creatures attacking. But I'm with you. I mean, like, obviously
the real victim here in a way is the creature.
(23:21):
Although my heart breaks for this philanthropist and activist who
was there in a luxury camp who gets mauled by
the lion.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Don't they have a strict policies that you know, there's
guards that chase the animals away, so they're never allowed
outside their tents or whatever from sunset to sunrise exactly.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't get that, I really don't. I mean, why
aren't there facilities that don't require you to walk out
into the wilderness. I mean, you know, maybe they should
take a meeting on that. I mean, this is crazy.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
So there's that, And wouldn't it just be the inherent
risk of going into an area such as that with
or without security or people keeping the wild animals away.
I mean, you're you're in Africa out to see wild animals,
and just as Sharon had said it, you're in their place.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
You're in their house.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
So it sounds like like if you go out surfing
or something and you get by a jellyfish or bit
by a shark, they're not going to go take out
the jellyfish or the shark, and reason being, you're in
their house and it's just part of the inherent risk
of surfing or going into the water or whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
But yeah, I was just going to say, these carnivorous
creatures who have a taste then for human flesh. Maybe
that's the thinking on it. I Mean that was sort
of my general understanding of it. Why but I'm with you.
I mean, but to share point, how come you can't
protect me? I've paid all this money. I mean, just
(25:05):
keep it a secure area from my tent to the bathroom.
That's all I'm asking. I'm not asking you to, you know,
cover me as I run into the into the into
the desert area through the serengetti. I'm not asking you to,
you know, to return fire. All I'm asking you to
do is cover me from here to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Or put the bathroom inside the tent.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Thank you, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
But I think you're going to be fine, Mark, because
if it's the Great Migration, you know, these lions are
going to have other dining options.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's a very good point, very good point. Thank you.
Angel you talked me off the ledge. I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
And you don't have a lot of meat on your bones.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Thank well.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Taste like stage.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
The show just got a massive upgrade. That's right. I
yield to no man, boy boy, you don't have him? Yeah,
oh my god, seriously. Yeah, Now it's feeling about Leno
is going to come on and now he's well, here's
a problem. Leno calls at the end of the last segment.
(26:14):
I saw the hotline. I didn't know it was Leno.
Then he's got to sit through like a day and
a half of commercials. That's probably and he's not you know,
he's like, he's Jay Leno. He's not going to sit
through a bunch of commercials. I mean, especially if Tim's
not here. So this is what happens. Yeah, I'm sure
he's thinking.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't know. I mean he is out of the
the phone dropped because he always has issues with this phone.
Oh that's true. Yeah, I think he was driving. He
has that flip phone. Yeah, may not.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
But Jay, if you're listening, we love you. Call us back.
Uh so much for my big intro. I'll have to
save it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Okay. I love his I love the car show that
he does. Now.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, I never thought that would that's become like a
big deal. That chills a top rated show. It's really good.
The thing about Leno is he collects these cars and
there's a story to go with every car. How he
got it, what it was like at the time that
they produced this car, what it was in response to
(27:18):
it's kind of cool, but anyway, we'll have him in minutes.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Should he call us back?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, the FAA is launching an emergency task force to
insure safety flying in and out of Newark Airport. Many
issues in and out of Newark. As you know, even
someone like Jay Leno would have trouble flying in and
out of Newark. They don't care who you are. The
disruptions are serious, and the FAA is considering temporary flight
(27:49):
reductions in and out of Newark as they launched this
emergency task force. You have him now, Okay? Are you sure?
I don't want to do a big intro again? And
then you can pull the rug out from under me.
He's ready.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
All right, The.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Show's about too. As I was saying, undergo a major upgrade.
How about it for the great Jay Leno?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You got it?
Speaker 12 (28:12):
Hey, mark a door?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
All right, Leno, this is the best. Thank you for calling.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Well, let me ask you something now. You you mentioned
that the uh, the guy was attacked at the luxury hotel.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Correct it was a luxury camp I think camp set up? Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yeah, yeah, Well that's called the Lion is the King
of the jungle. Of course he's going to be at
the luxury one. You know, if you got down to
the Motel six, it's all baboons. Awesome, it's all the Yeah,
of course the king of the jungle is going to
be at the risk.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Carl, I didn't even factor in the royalty thing. Yeah,
you're absolutely right.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
Of course. Of course every group has a cass.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I see if you're just joining us, there was a
there's a it's a it was a an African Safari.
Sy African Safari set up guys going to the restroom,
to the bathroom that they set up there and he's
mauled and killed by this lion.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
And as Leno says, you know, the lion is the
king of the jungle. It is true.
Speaker 12 (29:13):
That's why he's at the luxury hotel. You know, Mark,
you remind me that you remember that woman a couple
of years ago to suit the park Service because she
was walking in the woods in the tree tree branch
hit her in the face and she sooned because the
tree branch was too low.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I don't remember that. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, you're
saying there's an assumed risk? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 12 (29:35):
Yeah, Hello, why don't we go some why don't we
camp with our lions? Good idea, Bob.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You know, Jay, to be fair to the guy, don't
you think you set up in places where you can
secure the area where you're sleeping.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
Well, yeah, but I like people saying, well, you know,
he also works for the conservation of animals, like the
animals are like, like the animals have read all his literature?
You know, should we eat him because you know he
seems to be helping? Yeah, you're when I'm were after
the guy who just shoots animals willing. Hey, let's seat
that guy. It doesn't really work that way.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, yes, sadly it does not. Sadly it does not.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, have you ever been Jay, You've been all over
the world. You've played these, you know, corporate gigs all
over the world Asia.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Have you been to the continent of Africa?
Speaker 12 (30:24):
No, I haven't for you yet. There's not a lot
of gigs for clubs that have lions roaming around.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You don't there's Namibia isn't big on the yuck yucks
in Namibia isn't open anymore.
Speaker 12 (30:36):
Oh. No, you see, I help conserve the environment by
not going into it.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Hey, Jake, I I have a question. I have a
car question for you.
Speaker 12 (30:48):
Go ahead, all.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right, I'm getting rid of my Tesla, okay, and I'm
looking at other electric cars. And you know, I had
that hell Cat a few years ago, which I really
like muscle car because there's a fifteen year old in
me somewhere that really never could never had a car
when it was a teenager and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Anyway, Uh, they.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Just came out, as you know, with these uh this
Dodge scat pack, uh, Daytona and it is like the
Hellcat if you will, are like the Challenger Charger world,
but it's electric.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Have you driven it?
Speaker 12 (31:25):
Yeah? You know, if you want a fast electric car,
you get a test that's a fast but Loucid is fast.
Speaker 16 (31:32):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (31:33):
If you look into a reasonable electric the Ionic five
I think it's called by Hyundai. Right, that's great, that's
really really good. Now are you getting you're you're your
testilon because of political pressure or are you just kind
of training.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'll tell you the truth. I'm just kind of over it.
It's it's a little too light a ride for me,
Like it doesn't feel like a sturdy enough ride.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
It starts to bother me.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
The windows at high speeds kind of make that whistling sounds.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You know, it's.
Speaker 12 (31:59):
A you have to close them all the way.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I see, damn it. It was such a simple solution. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (32:07):
Again, this is like like the lion, it's the Ritz Carlton.
It's the same thing. He's the king of the jungle
cause he's going to be at the Ritz Carlton.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
I never thought of closing them all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, yeah, any other problems is that you was that
your engine leto that we just heard?
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Yes, I am in a three fifty r Mustang. It's
quite fast. Yeah, this is a very fast guy.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Oh my god, Oh my god. Sounds nice. Yeah, it does.
It sounds like quite the roar.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
By the way, Jay, The wild thing about that e
Dodge Daytona the electric car, is that that sound that
we just heard from your car. Of course it doesn't
make because it's an electric car. So what have they done?
They put speakers in.
Speaker 12 (32:51):
It's a manufactured noise, right, it's a bit like a
blow up doll that moans.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Know it's Jay's right. They actually, Yeah, so you'll hear
that sound if you want. You get one like a
button on the console and it will make that noise
even though it has no engine that actually makes that noise.
Speaker 12 (33:14):
Well, why don't you just put put baseball cards in
your and your bicycle spoken make the same noise. I
mean that that's all it is. It's just a noise.
It doesn't make it go faster. There's no reason why
you would have that, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, well apparently it's not selling very well, is the problem.
I think the people who drive those cars, you know,
they want that. They want to combustion engine.
Speaker 12 (33:35):
Yeah, well they want the real thing, you know, exactly right.
It's like a lion going to the Hampton Inn. They
don't go there.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
How do you decide what car you're going to drive
every day? Jay?
Speaker 12 (33:46):
Well, that's the first world problem. No whatever happened to
you're working on, or if I just changed the oil,
or if I I'll take it out on the road
I had. I had a leak in my sixty eight
yards Dodge. I was driving that earlier today.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah see, you know the last thing over late. But
let me just ask you, Jaye, do you mind telling
the story about I don't know, this is a terrible
thing to be. You were driving a convertible and there
was a parade. Do you know what I'm talking about
that story.
Speaker 12 (34:16):
I just thought that's still a long time. But no.
My wife and I were driving my fifty seven Viewer convertible. Okay,
so we're in West Hollywood. As we go across Santa Monica,
there's a parade going on and it's the Gay Pride Parade.
So Maria says, oh, we can't get across because there's
a there's a parade going on. Okay. So I was
(34:39):
about to figure out how A cop goes, oh, Jack,
come on, come on, come on, I don't come on.
And now he thinks, because I'm driving this fifty seven viewer,
which is an antique card, I'm in the parade. So
he guys been so now maybe was high going down
thanks to the pointing gaze. Day I got no problem,
you know. And my wife happened. She's all, I think
(35:01):
you're gay, honey, they think you're a lesbian, okay, And
we're just waving at people. It was actually a lot
of fun. It was it wassical. I was just trying
to get across Santa Monica boulevards and now I'm down,
and then and there's and the two guys in front
of me are in the stimpiest bikinis and the standing
on the back of a truck dancing. I'm don okay,
(35:22):
this is like the craziest day of my life. It
was really fun.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I thought of.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
You because the Pride Parade was yesterday. I literally thought
of that story. I just loved that story. Uh, jay
you're the you're the best to call us and uh
and to weigh in and to give us the rumble
of the Leno mustang.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Uh well, thank you, my friend. Listen, you take care,
I'll talk to you.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Don't give my best, all right, you gotta jay leto everybody.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Wow, man, that engine just has to be immense to
put out that kind of sound, doesn't the crozier I mean,
