was that? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, Elon
(02:42):
Moskin Trump and it's been an unbelievable year and and
and but what we do is every now these guys
don't remember it. I think they're all lying. But every
year for the last fifteen years, we've been doing one
of these where we get the lot of the advertisers
together with the aes and mingle and has some great
food and talk about business. We've got some of the
(03:03):
greatest advertisers in the world. And currently we've got a
full book which was nice. But we have, you know,
advanced hair. We have the American Vision Windows. I'm just
going through a few of them here Marongo. We've been
with them for twenty years. Prize Picks, they're terrific. Number
one Collision Group, they're new Sweet James. And then also
(03:24):
the Travel Travel Store where the travel store they're the
ones putting the cruise together and direct buyers and also
cars for kids. But we decided, I don't know who
was I think it was Leslie. Where's Leslie?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Is she here?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
There's is Leslie decided to book a cruise and we're
all going to go to cruising on July of next year,
July twenty first of next year. And I said, Okay, well,
I hope it goes smoother than last time, because we
did three year, four or five years ago. We are
going to do a cruise. It was going to leave
San Pedro and go to Hawaii and then we're going
(03:58):
to cruise around Hawaii for a week and come back.
It was a two week trip. It was beautiful. It
was on a beautiful cruise line. Everybody was in you know,
the the website was there, you know, the interest was there.
And we're gonna start on a Wednesday, So we're gonna
start on Wednesday. We're gonna do live reads every single
break for the show. Every single break there's gonna be
(04:19):
a live read for the cruise that we're doing. So
an hour before we start the show, in Italy, the
Concordia flop flops over. The cruise ship flops over. Forty
one people die, the captain gets arrested for abandoning the ship,
and we cover that news story because we had a
reporter over there live from Italy. So we're talking. You
(04:40):
can hear people jumping off the ship in the background,
you know, the captain's going down with the ship and everything,
and then we cut right to hey, you want to
go to Hawaii with fuck get on a boat. Nothing
not a cabin sold. But Tanya, we've had some great
luck with this year, right, Fifty cabins already sold for
(05:00):
that crowd. And something I find astonishing and I can't
figure it out. A lot of them are single cabins.
A lot of a lot of guys and gals, men
and women are coming on this cruise by themselves, and.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
This is a hookup cruise. Then I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But if the boat is a rocking.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, that's I don't know. How you can cruise by
yourself unless you're single.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
How do you tell your wife? Look, that's a tough conversation.
You're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Have you been on a cruise by yourself? Uh? Never
have angel you cruise? Have you been by yourself? I haven't.
I almost booked one single, but it was like with
my family, but I would have my own room. But oh,
I see, well I didn't have Angels coming. And she's
bringing her bird on the cruise, so she should be
very popular.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Can I hate to yes, but I forgot to mention
Sharon Bellio.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Sharon Bellio, she's made a large stress happen and I felt, Oh,
that's why she was waving.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I just does her time. I look over and yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Please waving and around one hundred dollars bill. What's going
on there?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, No, Bellio is the absolute best.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now she going on the cruise with you?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't think so. Now she's not that good? Yeah,
but no, I think no. Bellio. Look when when she
has time off, she likes to go spend it with
her dogs and John and you know, and hang with
her her mom, her beautiful mom has gone through some
going through some challenges. She likes to go to Colorado.
We'd love to have her because nobody's like the the
you know, the party or that Bellio is, you know,
(06:39):
never smoking weed, never dig coke, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke cigarettes.
A real party, a lot of fun to have around,
you know. The one looking at everybody? Is that your
third How many of you had already? Like Bellio, it's
a cruise, please calm down. So anyway, go to Conway Cruise.
(06:59):
I know it's been a whole promo for the cruise.
Go to Godway Cruise dot com and come on the
ship and we're gonna leave July twenty first, which is
almost one year away. Now I don't have I don't
have any history other than nineteen seventy seven with Alaska.
Has it changed because you went recently?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I just went on a cruise to Alaska and it's terrific.
I recommend it, and you know, the travel experts are
here to book that for you if you want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But I now used to go for free because you're
addicted to gambling.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yes, I was offered a free cruise, then I was
offered another free cruise, and then I was offered a
third free cruise anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's how you know you have a problem, man, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But that's but but getting a free cruise is not
rock bottom for you though, it's not, well, I mean
you don't you don't like go it and like like
try to seek help or call eight hundred gambler.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not rock bottom. No no, no, no, no, no,
that's great.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
No, it's it's what you always say that you know
you have an addiction that actually can pay some differ.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, there was.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Norm McDonald said that. He said, gambling is the only
addiction where we can make a lot of money, which
is I think part of the addiction.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But I laughed, but I wish I could, and I
have cut back a little bit. But there was a
time when I was really letting it rip that wasn't
that long ago. And and they just served up cruises
because there's they only offered me cruisers that had casinos
on door.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So that should tell you again, see.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If they offered you casinos that also had.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
A shipotash exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But you know, speaking of rock Bottom, we were talking.
A friend of mine drove across country. He had he
had some family in New York. He was going to
spend four or five weeks in New York with his family,
and he was going to drive across country and he
stopped in Saint Louis on the way on travel driving
across country. He went to a pizza place, ordered a
large pizza with everything on it, extra large pizza, everything
(08:49):
on it, and he ate the entire thing. And once
he was done, the owner of the of the restaurant
came up and said, here's a check for five hundred dollars.
Can we take a picture of him? Put it on
the wall. And he says, what what is that all about?
And they said, we have a policy at this restaurant
if any two people can finish that pizza in an hour,
we give him five hundred dollars and we put their
(09:11):
picture on the wall. He did it by himself, casually,
in twenty minutes and didn't think anything of it.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
John Decker is gonna be with us. He is the
White House correspondent. There's news in Washington and we're going
to cover it all.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
All right, it's Conway Show. Everybody, Dig, dong and dig
and don. We're up here with some of the better advertisers,
and Mark Thompson's on with us every Tuesday. You have
a terrific advertise. You always were well.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I just I found these people. It was an organic thing.
I had a plumbing issue at the house. They came
to the house.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
All right, Hold them on SEC. Hold them on SEC. Buddy,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. John Decker's with us. Oh couldn't
get hold of me. He's the White House cortin. He's
actually calling us from overseas. John Deck, You're on KFI.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How are you hey?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
I'm doing great, Tim, I hope you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Are you in the Netherlands.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
I am. I'm in the Netherlands. I'm covering the NATO summit,
and the President arrived here a few hours ago, and
it's going to be a busy data mark. The President's
going to have a press conference too, for us in
the afternoon. For you, it's going to be in the early.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Morning, right. And when you travel with them, are you
on Air Force one?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 7 (10:28):
On this trip, I traveled ahead of the President, so
I was not traveling on Air Force one today. I
actually arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday, spent a day
in Amsterdam before traveling to the hagueerch which is where
the NATO summit is taking place.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Is everybody in Europe talking about the same things we
are here in the United States Where Trump used the
F word.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
That's a good question. I think anywhere in the world,
you know, no matter whether you're in the Netherlands or
whether you're in the United States or in South America
or in Asia, I think that makes a lot of news.
It was a shocker for me when I saw it
in real time. As the President was leaving, we were
watching it here at the Press Hotel, and look, the
(11:17):
president is the president, you know, I mean Donald Trump
is who Donald Trump is. He doesn't play for the cameras.
And you know that was the real Donald Trump when
you saw him answer that question.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What do you think these meetings are going to be like?
I mean, there's a lot of tension in the air.
There's a lot of people are going to be sitting
next to him and we'll tell him that he didn't
do enough in Iran.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Well, I think that. You know, there's a number of
things that are going to take place while the President
is meeting with his foreign counterparts. First of all, Timmy's
going to get some good news for something he's been
pushing for for over a decade, and that is all
of the members of the NATO Defense Alliance, all thirty
two countries, have agreed to step it up in terms
of paying their fair share. They're going to within ten
(12:03):
years spend five percent of their GDP on defense. That's
something the president has been pushing for and it's something
he's going to get. So he's going to leave the
Netherlands tomorrow with at least that one big victory, that
one w that's something that he can count on that's
already been agreed upon. As for Iran, you know, look,
(12:23):
I wonder I question whether the president's finished with Iran,
given you know, the report from the Defense Intelligence Agency
that the strike on those three nuclear sites may have
set back Iran's nuclear weapons program by only a few months.
Maybe the President wants to finish the job, you know,
maybe he's not finished in terms of going after Orn.
(12:45):
We'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right, he does seem rather angry.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
He is angry, you know, And in the White House
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt took issue with that assessment from
the Pentagons to typically from the Defense Intelligence Agency. They
say they disagree with that assessment. You heard the President
saying that the Iran nuclear program has been obliterated. That's
his word that he used, but a different assessment coming
(13:13):
from the Defense Intelligence Agency. And perhaps, you know, if
the President does indeed want to take out the nuclear
program that Iran has, now is the time to do it.
It's defenses have been decimated by Israel over the course
of the past two weeks. Essentially, you know, the US
can do what it wants to do over Iranian airspace.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know John Diggers with his White House correspond to
for iHeartMedia, five percent is huge. I don't remember it
ever being five percent of GDP. I always thought it
was you know, two or two or maybe two and
a half.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Yeah, it was lower, it was. That's exactly right, and
you know it's raised. It's been raised by a level.
Given the fact that this is a ten year time
frame in which to reach that five percent level, there
are some countries that are already meeting that threshold. Some
of the countries in the Baltics are reaching that threshold
(14:07):
because they are very much concerned, given their proximity to Russia,
about Russia, you know, having their territorial ambitions go beyond Ukraine.
That's the reason why Estonia and Latvia spend much more
than that five percent threshold on their defense budget. And
you know, I think that that may even rise even
(14:28):
more over the course of the next ten years.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Buddy, I know you got to get some sleep. I
really appreciate you coming on. I know that you woke
up to do this. I can't tell you how much
we all precisely.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
That I did not wake up to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I've been up.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
It's been a very long day. But I'm always happy
to be on your show, Tim, happy to you know,
speak with you and speak with your audience and give
you a sense about what's happening here at the NATO. Summa.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh, I didn't know. Great, so we'll keep you ontill six.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
I didn't say that A good idea.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
All right, John, thank you, get some we'll talk to
you later this week maybe, all right, thank you much.
Decker the White House correspondent. This company has a White
House correspondent and has had one for twenty years. We
found out about it four months ago. Odd, we're in
the news business. We found out four months ago. We
(15:19):
have a guy in the White House that we could
talk to anytime we want, and we and we had
him since Reagan was president. And we just found out
four months ago. So odd, really odd? Are we come back?
Mark Thompson has an unbelievable story.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, I'm sure Decker would have liked to have heard it.
I mean, we'll send it my plumbing story. Yeah, we'll
send it to him. All right, all right, we'll talk
about one day Ruter and plumbing when we come back.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
One day, Ruder and plumbing. Look at you, Yes, I
guess I hear you talk about him, the Wizard of Wizzes.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Richard, how dare you? How dare you blow the slug on?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
What is the slug life?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's the Lords of Leeks, that's right of Leeks?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, the Lords of Leak was the nickname of
the guy used to live next to my grandmother in
the retirement, The Lords Away.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The Lord of Leek's is here, Christ get him out
of here, William.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
I am six forty all right, Michael Monks, who's been
with us? I think about a year and a half,
is that right? Croze about a year and a half
or so, maybe two? Terrific reporter and he you've got
monks Monks?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
How you bob?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I am well down here on the fourth floor.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (16:37):
We have a lot more food up here? Can you
breathe food down? We got nothing, man, we're starving.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, we'll bring something down. We'll throw you a meal
or whatever, you know, we'll just slide it down the stairs,
go to the stairwell.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Steff didn't bring you anything.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
No, he's selfishly gobbling it up right now. I'm looking
at him. Wait, he brought food for himself and didn't
bring you anything, not a bite. Oh my god. I
didn't know he was going to be here. I'm always here.
The one thing you can.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Count on is maybe you didn't know he was Monks
was going to be there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, I monks, please come up and get a plate
of food. Yeah, exactly, you could use it. Hey, So, monks,
what's going on with LAPD? Okay?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
So last week I reported that LAPD came to the
La City Council and said, we need a five million
dollar loan from your reserve fund because we've had a
lot of overtime related to these anti immigration enforcement protests,
and the La City Council approved that. Well this may
surprise you, Tim, but La City Hall is not well
known for its accounting practices, and the city administrator has
(17:33):
returned to the City Council today and won approval for
a little bit more because it turns out that five
million dollar loan only covered the overtime incurred by the
officers who responded directly to the protest, but there was
something else going on that day. The tactical alert wish
meant every single officer who had been working that day
(17:55):
or those days was told to stay ah, and they
were earning over time as well.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So the bill has gone up.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
So they didn't need to borrow five million dollars ten
they needed twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh my god?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
That's to cover the overtime incurred so far in the
immigration enforcement protests and the tactical alert related to that.
The city council approved it in an eleven to three vote,
but they have told the city administrator, since this money
is coming from our reserves, you've got to figure out
a way to have it paid back. Nothing specific, but
figure it out.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Watching those cops get crap thrown at them, fireworks, bricks,
you know. I saw an umbrella thrown at one of
those guys, and I never you rarely see the cops
get pissed, you know, and and and shoot these guys
with the real bullets. And now I know why they're
all rich now with this over.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
They much prefer it when you throw money at them. Yeah,
and that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Twenty nine million dollars, twenty two to twenty nine.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Million, twenty two million dollars. The whole thing costs a
city about thirty two million dollars so far, according to
the city controller. That includes damage to city owned property
and other issues that.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They shouldn't have sent the Marines. They should have sent
money to Ala.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Was La City rolling in dough before this.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
No, they were already in a world of trouble. In fact,
today they declared a fiscal emergency because they're so bad off.
They were already bad off, and then the wildfire happened
in Pacific Palisades, and now these protests are happening, and
it's costing them a lot of money, and it doesn't
look like it's going to get better anytime soon. They've
got about six hundred city employees on the chopping block
(19:34):
right now. So they adopted this fiscal emergency resolution today
which allows those layoffs to go forward. Now they've introduced
something that you might call a transfer portal, like in
college athletics, where some of these folks who could lose
their job may find themselves transferred to a different department,
maybe doing something similar. They're going to assess their skills.
(19:55):
They hope to save them all. But as of today,
six hundred and fourteen employees, including two hundred civilian positions
in the LAPD face elimination because of the city's financial crisis.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So instead of sleeping at city Hall, they'll be sleeping
at DWP on their desk. It's possible shot at them.
Let's say, Belli O please got almighty? I got this
note from Belli. Oh, I live in Irvine. I don't
care about this story. Can you move on? God wildly rude?
You know a lot of people do live in La
(20:27):
All right, the Monks, I appreciate you coming on seven
and nine pm every Saturday.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Yeah, we'll dig in a little deeper on the city's
financial crisis, and I have an interview with city Controller
Kenneth Maheea about just how bad it is right now, Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Belly, I wants to know if you'll do a story
on Irvine over the weekend. I'd love to go to Irvine. Okay, yeah,
he'll do that. Okay, all right, thank you Monks. You're
the best buddy. With you, Michael Monks every Saturday, seven
to nine pm right here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
All that good news coming out of the City of La.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, it's a there's a lot of great news.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I used to live in the City of La and uh,
there was a couple of reasons why I split. One
of them was the there was a buckle in my
sidewalk in our front in front of our house, and
it went up about I had seven or eight inches,
and then down and there was a little gap between it.
You know, it's the roots that are pulling the sidewalk apart.
(21:23):
So I called the city and I said, hey, I
just moved to Tarzana. Can I can you guys come
out and fix this because I think someone's going to
get hurt, a guy skateboarding or a you know, elderly
person's gonna fall and they're going to be really pissed
to me. So they said, yeah, we'll put you on
the waiting list. I said, okay, great. How long is
the waiting list without without warning, without any kind of
you know, you know, shame or anything. The lady said
(21:48):
fifty years. Fifty years to fix the sidewalk, and I
said okay. I said, is there is there a way
we can do it quicker? And she said, yeah, you
pay for half, we'll pay for half. I said, okay, done.
So they sent me a bill for twelve hundred dollars
and I was going to pay twelve hundred dollars and
I just want to have it done. So they said,
I send them a check for twelve hundred bucks. And
(22:09):
I said, hey, when's the guy coming out to fix this?
And she said, the twelve hundred dollars is just the
permit to do it. I said, I gotta get out
of here. I gotta get out of here. This city sucks.
I don't know what's going on with this city, but
I got to move on. And we did. We sold
the house, we moved to Burbank, and I've been living
in heaven ever since.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, Tim loves Burbank. The great thing that you told
me about Burbank is that I don't need to do
the thing that always produces the most anxiety when I
go out and I'm looking to park, and that is
a parking meter.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Right up until recently, Oh put meters in downtown and
people are going crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Oh yeah, because it was terrific for a while.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, but most of the streets in Burbank don't have meters.
And Mark said, well, how does that work? When you
go to a restaurant. I go, oh, well, you pull over,
you get out of your car on the restaurant, you eat,
then you get back in your car and you leave.
Here's oh he goes that Does that happen? That happens? Right? Yeah, No,
burbank Is is great. It's the only place in the
valley that then I live. They have their own cops,
(23:11):

have you then throw it to a bunch of other
stuff and kind of bump.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It out of the way. That's right in a way
that has a charm to it to me.

talking at the end and he says, you know, I
wonder if you know it's so great that you're enthusiastic.

on yeah, exactly and the iHeartRadio.

we scheduled this party before Ice came to town, before
there was an earthquake this morning, before Israel and Iran
blew up. Well there was another big story. Well they
we had the fires this year, we had the floods
this year. This has been an unbelievable uh uh what
was that? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, yeah, Elon
(02:42):
Moskin Trump and it's been an unbelievable year and and
and but what we do is every now these guys
don't remember it. I think they're all lying. But every
year for the last fifteen years, we've been doing one
of these where we get the lot of the advertisers
together with the aes and mingle and has some great
food and talk about business. We've got some of the
(03:03):
greatest advertisers in the world. And currently we've got a
full book which was nice. But we have, you know,
advanced hair. We have the American Vision Windows. I'm just
going through a few of them here Marongo. We've been
with them for twenty years. Prize Picks, they're terrific. Number
one Collision Group, they're new Sweet James. And then also
(03:24):
the Travel Travel Store where the travel store they're the
ones putting the cruise together and direct buyers and also
cars for kids. But we decided, I don't know who
was I think it was Leslie. Where's Leslie?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Is she here?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
There's is Leslie decided to book a cruise and we're
all going to go to cruising on July of next year,
July twenty first of next year. And I said, Okay, well,
I hope it goes smoother than last time, because we
did three year, four or five years ago. We are
going to do a cruise. It was going to leave
San Pedro and go to Hawaii and then we're going
(03:58):
to cruise around Hawaii for a week and come back.
It was a two week trip. It was beautiful. It
was on a beautiful cruise line. Everybody was in you know,
the the website was there, you know, the interest was there.
And we're gonna start on a Wednesday, So we're gonna
start on Wednesday. We're gonna do live reads every single
break for the show. Every single break there's gonna be
(04:19):
a live read for the cruise that we're doing. So
an hour before we start the show, in Italy, the
Concordia flop flops over. The cruise ship flops over. Forty
one people die, the captain gets arrested for abandoning the ship,
and we cover that news story because we had a
reporter over there live from Italy. So we're talking. You
(04:40):
can hear people jumping off the ship in the background,
you know, the captain's going down with the ship and everything,
and then we cut right to hey, you want to
go to Hawaii with fuck get on a boat. Nothing
not a cabin sold. But Tanya, we've had some great
luck with this year, right, Fifty cabins already sold for
(05:00):
that crowd. And something I find astonishing and I can't
figure it out. A lot of them are single cabins.
A lot of a lot of guys and gals, men
and women are coming on this cruise by themselves, and.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
This is a hookup cruise. Then I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But if the boat is a rocking.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, that's I don't know. How you can cruise by
yourself unless you're single.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
How do you tell your wife? Look, that's a tough conversation.
You're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Have you been on a cruise by yourself? Uh? Never
have angel you cruise? Have you been by yourself? I haven't.
I almost booked one single, but it was like with
my family, but I would have my own room. But oh,
I see, well I didn't have Angels coming. And she's
bringing her bird on the cruise, so she should be
very popular.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Can I hate to yes, but I forgot to mention
Sharon Bellio.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Sharon Bellio, she's made a large stress happen and I felt, Oh,
that's why she was waving.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, I just does her time. I look over and yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Please waving and around one hundred dollars bill. What's going
on there?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, No, Bellio is the absolute best.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now she going on the cruise with you?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't think so. Now she's not that good? Yeah,
but no, I think no. Bellio. Look when when she
has time off, she likes to go spend it with
her dogs and John and you know, and hang with
her her mom, her beautiful mom has gone through some
going through some challenges. She likes to go to Colorado.
We'd love to have her because nobody's like the the
you know, the party or that Bellio is, you know,
(06:39):
never smoking weed, never dig coke, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke cigarettes.
A real party, a lot of fun to have around,
you know. The one looking at everybody? Is that your
third How many of you had already? Like Bellio, it's
a cruise, please calm down. So anyway, go to Conway Cruise.
(06:59):
I know it's been a whole promo for the cruise.
Go to Godway Cruise dot com and come on the
ship and we're gonna leave July twenty first, which is
almost one year away. Now I don't have I don't
have any history other than nineteen seventy seven with Alaska.
Has it changed because you went recently?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I just went on a cruise to Alaska and it's terrific.
I recommend it, and you know, the travel experts are
here to book that for you if you want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But I now used to go for free because you're
addicted to gambling.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yes, I was offered a free cruise, then I was
offered another free cruise, and then I was offered a
third free cruise anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's how you know you have a problem, man, right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But that's but but getting a free cruise is not
rock bottom for you though, it's not, well, I mean
you don't you don't like go it and like like
try to seek help or call eight hundred gambler.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not rock bottom. No no, no, no, no, no,
that's great.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
No, it's it's what you always say that you know
you have an addiction that actually can pay some differ.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, there was.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Norm McDonald said that. He said, gambling is the only
addiction where we can make a lot of money, which
is I think part of the addiction.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
But I laughed, but I wish I could, and I
have cut back a little bit. But there was a
time when I was really letting it rip that wasn't
that long ago. And and they just served up cruises
because there's they only offered me cruisers that had casinos
on door.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So that should tell you again, see.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
If they offered you casinos that also had.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
A shipotash exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But you know, speaking of rock Bottom, we were talking.
A friend of mine drove across country. He had he
had some family in New York. He was going to
spend four or five weeks in New York with his family,
and he was going to drive across country and he
stopped in Saint Louis on the way on travel driving
across country. He went to a pizza place, ordered a
large pizza with everything on it, extra large pizza, everything
(08:49):
on it, and he ate the entire thing. And once
he was done, the owner of the of the restaurant
came up and said, here's a check for five hundred dollars.
Can we take a picture of him? Put it on
the wall. And he says, what what is that all about?
And they said, we have a policy at this restaurant
if any two people can finish that pizza in an hour,
we give him five hundred dollars and we put their
(09:11):
picture on the wall. He did it by himself, casually,
in twenty minutes and didn't think anything of it.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
John Decker is gonna be with us. He is the
White House correspondent. There's news in Washington and we're going
to cover it all.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
All right, it's Conway Show. Everybody, Dig, dong and dig
and don. We're up here with some of the better advertisers,
and Mark Thompson's on with us every Tuesday. You have
a terrific advertise. You always were well.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I just I found these people. It was an organic thing.
I had a plumbing issue at the house. They came
to the house.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
All right, Hold them on SEC. Hold them on SEC. Buddy,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. John Decker's with us. Oh couldn't
get hold of me. He's the White House cortin. He's
actually calling us from overseas. John Deck, You're on KFI.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How are you hey?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
I'm doing great, Tim, I hope you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Are you in the Netherlands.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
I am. I'm in the Netherlands. I'm covering the NATO summit,
and the President arrived here a few hours ago, and
it's going to be a busy data mark. The President's
going to have a press conference too, for us in
the afternoon. For you, it's going to be in the early.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Morning, right. And when you travel with them, are you
on Air Force one?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
No?
Speaker 7 (10:28):
On this trip, I traveled ahead of the President, so
I was not traveling on Air Force one today. I
actually arrived in the Netherlands on Saturday, spent a day
in Amsterdam before traveling to the hagueerch which is where
the NATO summit is taking place.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Is everybody in Europe talking about the same things we
are here in the United States Where Trump used the
F word.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
That's a good question. I think anywhere in the world,
you know, no matter whether you're in the Netherlands or
whether you're in the United States or in South America
or in Asia, I think that makes a lot of news.
It was a shocker for me when I saw it
in real time. As the President was leaving, we were
watching it here at the Press Hotel, and look, the
(11:17):
president is the president, you know, I mean Donald Trump
is who Donald Trump is. He doesn't play for the cameras.
And you know that was the real Donald Trump when
you saw him answer that question.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
What do you think these meetings are going to be like?
I mean, there's a lot of tension in the air.
There's a lot of people are going to be sitting
next to him and we'll tell him that he didn't
do enough in Iran.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Well, I think that. You know, there's a number of
things that are going to take place while the President
is meeting with his foreign counterparts. First of all, Timmy's
going to get some good news for something he's been
pushing for for over a decade, and that is all
of the members of the NATO Defense Alliance, all thirty
two countries, have agreed to step it up in terms
of paying their fair share. They're going to within ten
(12:03):
years spend five percent of their GDP on defense. That's
something the president has been pushing for and it's something
he's going to get. So he's going to leave the
Netherlands tomorrow with at least that one big victory, that
one w that's something that he can count on that's
already been agreed upon. As for Iran, you know, look,
(12:23):
I wonder I question whether the president's finished with Iran,
given you know, the report from the Defense Intelligence Agency
that the strike on those three nuclear sites may have
set back Iran's nuclear weapons program by only a few months.
Maybe the President wants to finish the job, you know,
maybe he's not finished in terms of going after Orn.
(12:45):
We'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right, he does seem rather angry.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
He is angry, you know, And in the White House
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt took issue with that assessment from
the Pentagons to typically from the Defense Intelligence Agency. They
say they disagree with that assessment. You heard the President
saying that the Iran nuclear program has been obliterated. That's
his word that he used, but a different assessment coming
(13:13):
from the Defense Intelligence Agency. And perhaps, you know, if
the President does indeed want to take out the nuclear
program that Iran has, now is the time to do it.
It's defenses have been decimated by Israel over the course
of the past two weeks. Essentially, you know, the US
can do what it wants to do over Iranian airspace.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know John Diggers with his White House correspond to
for iHeartMedia, five percent is huge. I don't remember it
ever being five percent of GDP. I always thought it
was you know, two or two or maybe two and
a half.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Yeah, it was lower, it was. That's exactly right, and
you know it's raised. It's been raised by a level.
Given the fact that this is a ten year time
frame in which to reach that five percent level, there
are some countries that are already meeting that threshold. Some
of the countries in the Baltics are reaching that threshold
(14:07):
because they are very much concerned, given their proximity to Russia,
about Russia, you know, having their territorial ambitions go beyond Ukraine.
That's the reason why Estonia and Latvia spend much more
than that five percent threshold on their defense budget. And
you know, I think that that may even rise even
(14:28):
more over the course of the next ten years.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Buddy, I know you got to get some sleep. I
really appreciate you coming on. I know that you woke
up to do this. I can't tell you how much
we all precisely.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
That I did not wake up to do this.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I've been up.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
It's been a very long day. But I'm always happy
to be on your show, Tim, happy to you know,
speak with you and speak with your audience and give
you a sense about what's happening here at the NATO. Summa.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh, I didn't know. Great, so we'll keep you ontill six.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
I didn't say that A good idea.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
All right, John, thank you, get some we'll talk to
you later this week maybe, all right, thank you much.
Decker the White House correspondent. This company has a White
House correspondent and has had one for twenty years. We
found out about it four months ago. Odd, we're in
the news business. We found out four months ago. We
(15:19):
have a guy in the White House that we could
talk to anytime we want, and we and we had
him since Reagan was president. And we just found out
four months ago. So odd, really odd? Are we come back?

Yeah, I'm sure Decker would have liked to have heard it.
I mean, we'll send it my plumbing story. Yeah, we'll
send it to him. All right, all right, we'll talk
about one day Ruter and plumbing when we come back.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, yeah, the Lords of Leak was the nickname of
the guy used to live next to my grandmother in
the retirement, The Lords Away.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The Lord of Leek's is here, Christ get him out
of here, William.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
I am six forty all right, Michael Monks, who's been
with us? I think about a year and a half,
is that right? Croze about a year and a half
or so, maybe two? Terrific reporter and he you've got
monks Monks?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
How you bob?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I am well down here on the fourth floor.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (16:37):
We have a lot more food up here? Can you
breathe food down? We got nothing, man, we're starving.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, we'll bring something down. We'll throw you a meal
or whatever, you know, we'll just slide it down the stairs,
go to the stairwell.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Steff didn't bring you anything.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
No, he's selfishly gobbling it up right now. I'm looking
at him. Wait, he brought food for himself and didn't
bring you anything, not a bite. Oh my god. I
didn't know he was going to be here. I'm always here.
The one thing you can.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Count on is maybe you didn't know he was Monks
was going to be there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, I monks, please come up and get a plate
of food. Yeah, exactly, you could use it. Hey, So, monks,
what's going on with LAPD? Okay?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
So last week I reported that LAPD came to the
La City Council and said, we need a five million
dollar loan from your reserve fund because we've had a
lot of overtime related to these anti immigration enforcement protests,
and the La City Council approved that. Well this may
surprise you, Tim, but La City Hall is not well
known for its accounting practices, and the city administrator has
(17:33):
returned to the City Council today and won approval for
a little bit more because it turns out that five
million dollar loan only covered the overtime incurred by the
officers who responded directly to the protest, but there was
something else going on that day. The tactical alert wish
meant every single officer who had been working that day
(17:55):
or those days was told to stay ah, and they
were earning over time as well.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
So the bill has gone up.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
So they didn't need to borrow five million dollars ten
they needed twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh my god?
Speaker 8 (18:13):
That's to cover the overtime incurred so far in the
immigration enforcement protests and the tactical alert related to that.
The city council approved it in an eleven to three vote,
but they have told the city administrator, since this money
is coming from our reserves, you've got to figure out
a way to have it paid back. Nothing specific, but
figure it out.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Watching those cops get crap thrown at them, fireworks, bricks,
you know. I saw an umbrella thrown at one of
those guys, and I never you rarely see the cops
get pissed, you know, and and and shoot these guys
with the real bullets. And now I know why they're
all rich now with this over.
Speaker 8 (18:50):
They much prefer it when you throw money at them. Yeah,
and that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Twenty nine million dollars, twenty two to twenty nine.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Million, twenty two million dollars. The whole thing costs a
city about thirty two million dollars so far, according to
the city controller. That includes damage to city owned property
and other issues that.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They shouldn't have sent the Marines. They should have sent
money to Ala.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Was La City rolling in dough before this.
Speaker 8 (19:13):
No, they were already in a world of trouble. In fact,
today they declared a fiscal emergency because they're so bad off.
They were already bad off, and then the wildfire happened
in Pacific Palisades, and now these protests are happening, and
it's costing them a lot of money, and it doesn't
look like it's going to get better anytime soon. They've
got about six hundred city employees on the chopping block
(19:34):
right now. So they adopted this fiscal emergency resolution today
which allows those layoffs to go forward. Now they've introduced
something that you might call a transfer portal, like in
college athletics, where some of these folks who could lose
their job may find themselves transferred to a different department,
maybe doing something similar. They're going to assess their skills.
(19:55):
They hope to save them all. But as of today,
six hundred and fourteen employees, including two hundred civilian positions
in the LAPD face elimination because of the city's financial crisis.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So instead of sleeping at city Hall, they'll be sleeping
at DWP on their desk. It's possible shot at them.
Let's say, Belli O please got almighty? I got this
note from Belli. Oh, I live in Irvine. I don't
care about this story. Can you move on? God wildly rude?
You know a lot of people do live in La
(20:27):
All right, the Monks, I appreciate you coming on seven
and nine pm every Saturday.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
Yeah, we'll dig in a little deeper on the city's
financial crisis, and I have an interview with city Controller
Kenneth Maheea about just how bad it is right now, Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Belly, I wants to know if you'll do a story
on Irvine over the weekend. I'd love to go to Irvine. Okay, yeah,
he'll do that. Okay, all right, thank you Monks. You're
the best buddy. With you, Michael Monks every Saturday, seven
to nine pm right here on KFI.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
All that good news coming out of the City of La.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, it's a there's a lot of great news.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I used to live in the City of La and uh,
there was a couple of reasons why I split. One
of them was the there was a buckle in my
sidewalk in our front in front of our house, and
it went up about I had seven or eight inches,
and then down and there was a little gap between it.
You know, it's the roots that are pulling the sidewalk apart.
(21:23):
So I called the city and I said, hey, I
just moved to Tarzana. Can I can you guys come
out and fix this because I think someone's going to
get hurt, a guy skateboarding or a you know, elderly
person's gonna fall and they're going to be really pissed
to me. So they said, yeah, we'll put you on
the waiting list. I said, okay, great. How long is
the waiting list without without warning, without any kind of
you know, you know, shame or anything. The lady said
(21:48):
fifty years. Fifty years to fix the sidewalk, and I
said okay. I said, is there is there a way
we can do it quicker? And she said, yeah, you
pay for half, we'll pay for half. I said, okay, done.
So they sent me a bill for twelve hundred dollars
and I was going to pay twelve hundred dollars and
I just want to have it done. So they said,
I send them a check for twelve hundred bucks. And
(22:09):
I said, hey, when's the guy coming out to fix this?
And she said, the twelve hundred dollars is just the
permit to do it. I said, I gotta get out
of here. I gotta get out of here. This city sucks.
I don't know what's going on with this city, but
I got to move on. And we did. We sold
the house, we moved to Burbank, and I've been living
in heaven ever since.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, Tim loves Burbank. The great thing that you told
me about Burbank is that I don't need to do
the thing that always produces the most anxiety when I
go out and I'm looking to park, and that is
a parking meter.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Right up until recently, Oh put meters in downtown and
people are going crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Oh yeah, because it was terrific for a while.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, but most of the streets in Burbank don't have meters.
And Mark said, well, how does that work? When you
go to a restaurant. I go, oh, well, you pull over,
you get out of your car on the restaurant, you eat,
then you get back in your car and you leave.
Here's oh he goes that Does that happen? That happens? Right? Yeah, No,
burbank Is is great. It's the only place in the
valley that then I live. They have their own cops,
(23:11):
the teachers are terrific. It's really a cool place. Saying
all right, we'll come back. Mark Thompson finally on his
story with this plumber, right.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, all right on plumbing. They're the best, the lords
of leaks.

trying to get in your plugs for your guys, but
they couldn't make it.

It's almost more fun for me to try to get
in my plugs for one day, Ruter and plumbing and
have you then throw it to a bunch of other
stuff and kind of bump.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It out of the way. That's right in a way
that has a charm to it to me.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
They but they couldn't make it because they're working.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yeah, they're on a job site and they got to
and you know, these guys are so good. They finished
the job. They're not going to bail for a party,
you know what I mean. So again, I love One
day Ruter and Plumbing. I talk about them like their
family because we met them in sort of this organic way.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We had a plumbing problem.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
They showed up and they were so amazing, and we're
talking at the end and he says, you know, I
wonder if you know it's so great that you're enthusiastic.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I wonder how we could get the word out.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
And I said, we should think about, you know, advertising
on yeah, exactly and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So so that's what we do. And so they've just started.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
They've only been with us a couple of months, but
they are the lords of Leeks and they are amazing.
