Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app AM sixty.
It is The Conway Show. We have a lot going on, man,
a lot going on off. You heard John Colebelt from
The John Colebelt Show. But man, he had some robberies
(00:22):
on his street last night. He lives in a small
on a very small I think a dead end street.
There might be ten homes on his street. Five robberies
last night. Because he's not an evacuation zone. He's in
a in a zone where has they have no electricity,
and so these guys who are looting, they can go
(00:43):
into those areas without having to pass any checkpoints. And
so I when I heard that number that they caught
nineteen people looting, I said to my wife, I said,
you can always multiply that by ten. Always multiply it
by ten, because they just caught nineteen guys. There's hundreds
of guys out there doing this. It's unbelievable. That's the
(01:07):
that's where we live though. We've had such lawlessness for
the last four years that now everyone thinks they can
go out and just you know, cash in. And that's
going on every single night. So if you're an area
where the lights are not on, the electricity's not on,
you got to be careful. You gotta get dogs or
a gun or something to protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Ma'am.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is unbelievab what a nightmare for people. Unreal. All right,
let's talk to Alex Stone. He is with us from
ABC News. Alex Stone, what's going on with.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The weather area?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Some good news on these evacuation orders being lifted in areas. Yeah,
that the in the Palisades fire, parts of Brentwood, Mountain
Gate in Sino, kind of the outer perimeter areas where
people have been, you know, really ticked off, being like, look,
we know our homes are fine, they want to go home,
and so they've they've lifted some of that. We just
got from the Sheriff's department on the fire and out
(02:00):
to Dina on the eating fire. For residents who live
along Canyon Crest Road into the meadows east of El
Priedo or Predo Road, did they say the entry and
exit points as of right now will be Canyon Crest
Road and Lincoln Avenue. So that's not going to be
the hardest hit areas. If you're in an area where
homes burned. They're telling us it's going to be a
(02:22):
week or longer before you're able to go in and
check it out. But just to see if your house
is still the good news. Yeah, I mean, that's the
thing is it's still. There's so much going on. I
Alldough yesterday was on the Palisades fire and I've been
on the Eton fire for the last week, and just
being in there, it's hard to understand if you haven't
(02:42):
gone in the stuff that is everywhere, the down to
power poles, the power lines, that nails. It's like these
homes when they burned, shot nails out of them, which
maybe they did based on the heat. That everybody's getting
flat tires. There are fire engines from every town from
here to Maine that you have never heard of before,
(03:03):
from Texas and Colorado, and today Israeli firefighters arrived and
the Mexican firefighters are in searching some of the buildings.
So they're engines everywhere. And you know, bow down to
the linemen who are out there and line women who
are cleaning up the power lines and shutting off the
gas that they're working sixteen hour shifts. Our team rode
(03:26):
with La Sheriff's Offty Mike Loom who is a big
fan of yours, Tim, and he's with Montroe' Search and
Rescue and they're doing incredible work. Actually this week they
have been cutting a new road into a mountain side
where a bridge melted, to try to get to homes
on the other side to bring them supplies because they've
been trapped in there. And Mike told us this about
(03:48):
what they're seeing around and why they're not just you know,
letting the guard up and telling the National Guard to
let everybody in.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
We have open gas lines, we have exposed water lines,
and so y'y evaluating each property to determine if it's
safe to enter.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And they've been going around shutting off the gas. But
a lot of the homes that we've been around, you
just hear the gas just openly flowing into the areas.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Oh yeah, you can smell it. It's everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And you know, we were thinking, especially last what Friday night,
it was every home was spewing pure gas which wasn't
burning off and makes you wonder, when you start your
car or do something else, what's going to go on
along the pch Yesterday we were at a number of
the homes that have burned right there along the water.
And that's where Urban Search and Rescue Team members from
(04:37):
Menlo Park up in northern California, where they were going
home to home looking for human remains anybody who couldn't
get out there and using rakes and quietly sifting through
that and every now and then these homes, I mean,
we're really a week after the homes were burning in
that area along pH and still the homes would start
smoking and fire would begin, and Kern County was in
(05:01):
charge of getting up there with the engines and they
would spray them down. Then they were going to bring
in a giant crane too, And this is why still
the roads are just a mess in the area. To
pull the roof off because it all collapsed. It all panned,
all of these homes pancaked on top of each other,
you know, the home itself. The roof would go down
to the level below and then that level would would
(05:22):
collapse onto the one blow. So they wanted to get
in cranes to lift up the remains of the roof
and then lift up the top level to get to
the bottom level one to look for anybody who didn't
get out, but two to cool it down. It's still
so hot on fire down there, so they got a
lot of work. The other thing, though, is was so
many firefighters in even without the public or evacuees being
(05:45):
allowed to go back in. It is slow and bumper
to bumper of just for miles fire engines moving in
and out and line crews. It's incredible how many trucks
there are.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know, I again, Alex Stone is with us Maybec News.
There was a river going around that there were two
fire engines here from San Francisco. And when they would
go into a clear house, they also peeked into their
blue trash can to see if they're properly recycling is
that true?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
And then left a ticket behind. And wait, they don't
have the authority.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Hey, who's the guy from my h you mentioned listening
to show? Mike?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, Mike loom Yeah, Elie U m Mike and Cindy
Moyner out there, and they have an incredible you know
they are, even though Mike also works for the Sheriff's department.
But but the other folks don't well, I mean they do,
but they are their reserve deputies and you know, the
reserve deputies working for a dollar a year out there,
(06:39):
and they've got other jobs.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And they and they have and they have the same
responsibilities as a full time deputy.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Absolutely, and they are sworn deputies. We've written along with
them and done a number of stories. And Robert Sheety
is another one I wrote with Robert. Incredible what he
does too. He used to work in the tech industry
and now he's a full sworn deputy out there saving lives.
And but yeah, Mike is kind of he's their leader
and leading part of the effort. By the way, at
the out here's another crazy story the sheriff's office in Alta,
(07:09):
Dina where they don't have any power. They are powering
it on Tesla's cyber trucks, right is right, Yeah, they've
got a couple of Tesla cyber trucks at least as
of two days ago. I assume it's the same right now,
but we saw it two days ago where they've got
the sheriff station plugged into Tesla cyber trucks that Musk
has sent over. And then Musk is also brought in
the Tesla power walls with solar panels. So when the
(07:32):
truck is empty on power. They go over and plug
it into the power wall and recharge it. But according
to the deputies, off of one cyber truck, they can
power the sheriff station for about two days.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, it's pretty good. I don't I mean, just the
technology in there is crazy. They get two days off
of it. Yesterday and the Pala Stage fire, there were
cyber trucks all over the place with disaster response on
the side of them that that is now And there
was one we went around and the deputy says, go
go ahead, that's an emergency vehicle that they did, these
Tesla cyber trucks.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
When when you go into these areas where there's no electricity,
are you going at night? And do you see any
suspicious behavior? Because I think this looting thing is much
bigger than everyone's reporting.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, we we've been.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I did an overnight shift on I mean essentially we
got there at midnight on Sunday morning and h and
went until all day and into the next night. And
we've gone into the night several nights, pretty late into
the evening. I have not seen any Now the areas
we're in in the hardest hit where we're focusing on
that's going to be twofold. One is those are so secure.
(08:36):
I mean there are deputies and LAPD constantly doing patrols
in those areas, and you got the National Guard out
and they've got their long guns across their chests. I mean,
they're they're making their point. But two, in the hard
hit areas, there's nothing to loot. Yeah, there's nothing left
in those homes. The areas that are of concern for
the looting is on the perimeter where people are now
(08:58):
tonight going to be able to go back back in
where there are homes that the bad guys know are empty.
And the LAPD has done a darn good job and
the Sheriff's department of seeing them in those areas, questioning
us constantly, which they should. We're in unmarked cars and
you know, stopping us and asking what we're doing, which,
by the way, we are legally under California law allowed
(09:19):
under four to nine point five to be in so
we're not sneaking in.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It, right. But you know what, but this is one
of the only states where the press has that is
on California.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
New Jersey has a little bit, but really only California
where I can tell you after reporting in many other
states on wildfires, the information, no matter what you think
about the news media, the information you get here in
California is so much more accurate to the moment. Then
you get in say Colorado, where they keep the reporters
thirty miles away, and you may say, well, great, that's
(09:49):
how it should be if I can't get in, But
then your information, we have no idea when you're thirty
miles away what's really going on in there, and you
have to wait for it to come out being there
to show people and explain on the radio. I mean
that day when it was breaking and we were on
with Handle in the morning saying I am on Sacramento
Street and these are the homes that are burning, and
here's where the fire is going. That is invaluable information
(10:11):
that you don't get anywhere else outside of California.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, it is remarkable, you know what we take for
granted in the state of California. I know there was
a fire in Colorado there's like four or five summers ago,
and they were keeping reporters fifty two miles away from
it where they were keeping the public and nobody knows
what the dorminate.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, I worked in Colorado and that's how it was.
That's how it is in Arizona and in Nevada, and
you just don't get accurate information, especially if helicopters can't fly.
This is it is unique here. We don't take it
for granted. We train with cal Fire. That's why we
wear all the gear, and we carry fire shelters with
us and we take it seriously. But you know, people
can have their views on media end whether we should
(10:52):
be in or not, but the coverage would be very different.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
You'd have a lot less information if they weren't in there.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Funny, appreciate coming on. Thanks, say safe, We'll talk to
you soon. You got it all right, Thanks Alex Stone,
ABC news man, oh Man, there's a lot going on
at night. As soon as the sun goes down in
two hours, it gets crazy.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It is The Conway Show. We have our first high
speed chase since these fires started. It's on NBC. Two
chaps on a motorcycle on the ten Freeway.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
They've split now for just a moment they're in separate
way together Freeway so Eleana, you think at this point
the authorities are just thinking follow them in the airship.
Try to bring this down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Angel, Where are they on the ten freeway and you
on this.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
Chase, and well, they are in East LA on the
sixty making their way eastbound, and it looks like they're
going to be like passing the five. They may be
there right now, in that little elevated area right where
the five to sixty the ten all come together.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, all right, let's you're gonna keep an eye on them,
all right, Angels, keep an eye, Angel, keep an eye
on them. These guys are going eastbound and you can
tell the shadow is in front of them. So they're
going eastbound to the to motorcyclists and they're wanted because
they did something, but they put a cops life in
(12:21):
danger driving if you will.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
These bikes are not street legal. They're dirt bikes. And
the guys don't have helmets on either.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Oh is that right? Oh my god, look at these cowboys.
Speaker 9 (12:34):
They might be electric motorcycles.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Okay, all right, I don't look like it.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Now, what what freeway there? Eastbound on the sixty?
Speaker 8 (12:41):
You say, east sixty coming into Boil Heights exit there.
It's right where the five, the ten, the sixty all
split up. Okay, looks like they're staying on them. They
might take the five. We'll see here in just a second.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
Driving on a normal day with the traffic, trying to
maneuver which way you're going to go. So I can
only imagine the guys on the with him kind sometimes.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Think you first chase sends the fires. We had to
go back to normal sometime with idiots. We found them.
Speaker 10 (13:11):
He was able to find out from the police ship
that it is in fact failure to yield, as we thought,
and then of course also for attempting to pit that
motor officer so now wanted for I would only assume
that would be considered assault with the deadly weaponon a
peace officer for that attempted pit, as well as of
course failure to yield.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I kind of don't need to understand that they tried
to pit a CHP officer.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
He's incredible as that is to try to comprehend why
someone could possibly try to do something so dumb. But
apparently they had a motor unit that was following them,
because really a motor unit is kind of the only
one that's going to be able to keep up with
them at this point.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
But they did have.
Speaker 10 (13:55):
A motor unit behind him, and somehow, I don't know
if it was one guy or both attempt to pit
that officer.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I did hear on the scanner.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
The dispatcher was asking to make sure that the officer
was okay.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Wild wild West in La, everything anything and everything just
goes that one.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It's done.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
That's pretty sweet. But I'm pretty sure these are electric guy.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Get away and comes at the officers. We're always thinking, no,
that that's the worst thing you can do, because that
is assault.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
So yeah, and Eliana, we're watching your shot here. And yeah,
he's clearly on the phone now he appears to be
on The guy on the white bike is on his
cell phone.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The guy in the blue bike is just a tag along. Merds.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
You're the authorities maybe looking around the or the Sheriff's
choppers overhead.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Where are we now?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So we're still in the Boil Heights area.
Speaker 10 (14:49):
So right at the uh the split between the five
and the sixty, I think they did they did complete
that transition, I believe to the sixty east. So yes,
so they're continuing eastbound here on this sixty at Lorraina.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And I'm just trying to hear what the what the
CHP is planning to do on this one, because again I.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can tell you what they're planning on doing.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Delly County Sheriff's airship overhead. And I did see the
hpirship when we were arriving as well.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
There's a highway patrol. They just got on the freeway here.
Now there's a highway patrol right in front of these guys.
And now these guys are a flake freaking out. There's
the highway patrol to a slow down a.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Little bit, drive a little bit better.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
So we'll see how much the CHP can do on
this one with their inability to weave in and out
of traps.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Need the motorcycles, CHP, they need the chips out there
a motorbike.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Just now the officer or the CHP officer got right
behind them. But then no, they're able to maneuver and
now take off.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, and I just heard that officer that we saw.
He says he can't chase them. He says there's too
much traffic. I need to cancel so we won't see that.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Unit get directly behind these guys and in a way,
I think it might be for the best because.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Every single CHP office on the motorcycle right now would
love to follow these two guys. They just absolutely love.
Speaker 11 (16:04):
About it, so nonchalant as they drive along the freeway. Here,
we want to remind our viewers as chase started just
before four o'clock at three point fifty three and your
fourth in Indiana, failure to yield to authorities and now
potentially also wanted for assault.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
On a deadly weapon.
Speaker 11 (16:20):
As Eleana was explaining to us, at one point, one
of these gentlemen, at least one tried to pit a
motor officer with the CHP, which puzzles us because how
do you do that? But you know, Eleana was explaining, regardless,
that is considered typically.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
As we're watching this high speed pursued two motorcycles getting
away from the cops on I just go back to
the dynamic.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
You're right, we see that CHP cruiser channel four feet
away from them. How this because.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
There was that.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Sixty eastbound coming up at Valley.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
You said there is a chopper overhead.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
Yeah, so there's a chopper overhead the Sheriff's Department, And
I saw the CCHPR earlier as well. I believe they
both might still be here, but they're continuing east found
here on the sixty, coming up at the seven ten,
and yeah, sure enough, I do hear the airship talking
on the radio now, so they are still overhead, and
all they can really do is just track these guys
from above, because even if you've got a motor unit
(17:16):
behind them, and the motor unit could zigzag in and
out of traffic.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
The way they are doing.
Speaker 10 (17:21):
But that was just endangerable life of the officer as well,
knowing that these guys tried to pit another officer earlier on.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
All we got to take a break here. We're gonna
come back with this high speed pursuit. Two motorcycles fleeing
the Highway Patrol. They were involved in trying to pit
a Highway Patrol officer on a bike hand. So I
imagine if anyone from the Highway Patrol is listening, they're living,
absolutely live it with what's going on here. They're on
their last nerve anyway, like everybody is in Los Angeles.
(17:51):
So they're gonna eventually get these guys. The Highway Patrol
is back there with another car. There's another car right
there following him. He's not gonna be able to do
it much longer. Well, there's highway patrol everywhere. These guys
are toast. These guys are toast. I've been watching chases
for a long time. I've never seen so many cops
around the Highway patrol is going to get these guys.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
The chase continues here on the freeways. They're looking for
and searching and following these two chaps on motorcycles.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Besides what we were talking before, I can't do a pitman.
It lay out a spike strip and they can't get
the cruisers behind them. At least they haven't been able
to keep up with them because they can change L seven.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
They're on the seventeen south bound the way. The band
is the word for fertilized chasing that commercial Bandini is
the word for fertilizer seven ten southbounds.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Overhead as well chasing these people to them on bikes
wanted for Phil going to yield and then the potential
of assault with a.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
There was a HP motorcycle behind them came up on
them after they ran I don't know, a stoplight or
did something, you know, like we all do and uh,
and then they tried to pitch the CHP officer and
that's why they're in trouble. They're not going to get away.
These guys are not going to get away unless they
can get into a mall or some kind of high rise,
(19:24):
the or airport or something. I don't know if these
guys are going to get away. I don't think they
are else.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So that leads her to believe they're very I think
they're done. It's general East LA area and are probably
just trying to figure out.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
When I hope they get They're gonna get traffic, very
popular parking structure, I think, so that we typically see
it pursuits where people think that that's the best way
to ditch the vehicle and take off running.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
But if these vehicles, if these bikes have any sort
of registration license WATE, then police.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Would be able to trace it back to these guys.
Speaker 10 (19:58):
But they are proved some sort of a break, so
they may not have any sort of registration at all.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
And if they're trying to put distance between themselves and
the CHP, it's not gonna work because as you said
the sheriff's apartment has a helicopter above them, so they
are following him just like we.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Are, and helmetless, and they actually have to helmetless.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
They have a sheriff support or to lose them.
Speaker 10 (20:19):
The hpership is here as well, so they've got two
sets of eyes on these guys.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
They've got channel.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Four or channel five. We're watching on channel four for.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
Them to get away, unless they split up. That would
actually be if they're just I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Surprised they haven't split up yet, you know. I like
on Butch Cassie's Sundance Kid, they both they split up
at some point and let a horse go the other way.
They both jumped on the same horse, jump on the
same bike.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
He's the one that was on the phone.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
It does appear like he's kind of running the show
a little bit, and his buddy there in the blue
is just trailing.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah. The guy in the blue is the tag along Merchsy.
You know, the Mertz is on I Love Lucy wherever
the you know, the Lucy's went.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Tag along mer It's fascinating to watch them communicate in
real time. Rite one on the white bricks on the
on the white one. I mean the possibility they run.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, wouldn't that be next?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Jonathan?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I think that if people under nine, you're going, Okay,
what's that.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
One with them?
Speaker 9 (21:25):
They stuck tag alonger point.
Speaker 10 (21:28):
We don't know how much gas they started off with,
and uh, we don't know how long they were riding prior.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
To I think angels onto something. I think these might
be electric bikes. You don't see any smoke coming from
them all. They have unbelievable acceleration. I think you're right.
I think these might be electric motors under their you know, the.
Speaker 10 (21:46):
Nearest unit is, but I don't see a unit within
at least a quarter mile. But in a way that's
good because when there were units behind them, they do
tend to drive a little bit more dangerously, and.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
The shoulders so dangerous. It's not just the proximity to
the cars. Like here where it gets really narrow, there's
so much debris that builds up there on the side
of the freeways, and with motorcycles are just not as
forgiving as if they.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Were in a car.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
No, I was thinking about that, you're trying.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I think I just saw the guy and the white
bike just lost his sunglasses. He looked to his body.
The air caught him and gone, gone, got to get
to another gas. They can get in one of those
ten dollars shade.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
We're saying it. You don't know what a driver is
going to do. They may not see them.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
You don't know driver is going to cut you off. Yeah,
you don't know if the driver's going to cut you.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You're southbound on the seven ten freeway and you know
where we comeing out of Firestone.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Extra dangerous when you're on a motorcy It's the.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Next big, next big freeway.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
The next big freeway on that same time would be
the one over five.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Or something.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Your southbound on the seven ten freeway.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
The man on the white bike, he was still on
his phone there just a second ago and he is now.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
He was signaling to his friend.
Speaker 10 (22:58):
Some sort of instructions, but hard to say what the
game plan is here.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It doesn't look like they have one right.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
Shoulder to get by. This is not a carpool. There's
no carpool in the southbound seven ten. So this is
the emergency lane. This is where you'd be if you
got a flat, this is where you'd be if you
were disabled. So it really does make it dangerous for
anybody who may be up ahead in this lane.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Looking at a note from our assignment, tsk that a
dirt bike fully fueled may be able to travel anywhere
between fifty and eighty miles, obviously given how fast they're going.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
But yeah, I mean that's not that I think that's wrong.
I think a fully I think a fully gassed up
motor bike can go one hundred two hundred miles. I
don't think fifty miles is the maxim these said.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
And knowing that it started to think about Yeah, but
even if they're two gallons, these things get forty to
fifty miles of the gallons.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, but dirt bikes are meant to go. They have
more torch so they can pick up, so they can
go up the house.
Speaker 12 (23:53):
Maybe maybe they get a little more gas in there.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That doesn't work in their favor, then dirt bike.
Speaker 10 (23:57):
Ye around the guess that's I will know that they're
probably starting to run out of gas.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
All right, Right now, we want to bring in HP
officer Luis gindetto Louis, are you with us right now? Yes, officer,
thank you so much for taking the time to talk
with us as we follow this very reckless and dangerous
chase here in the East LA and Commerce area right now,
we're in Southgate.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Is this is tricky.
Speaker 11 (24:21):
Some HB cruisers get very close, but obviously you know
they can't get close enough. These guys are just leading
in and out of traffic. What is the strategy here?
Do you just stick with it from the air at
this point.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
That's exactly what we're doing right now. First of all,
thank you for having me. Our airship is following our
helicopters following this pursuit since it's very difficult for our
cruisers on the ground to maneuver through traffic. We are
seeing the moderate too heavy traffic, which and why it
makes it even more dangerous.
Speaker 10 (24:49):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
These motorcycle riders are splitting lanes, using all lanes the
center divide of the right shoulder, so you're going through the.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Area right We're watching this high speed pursuit. You can
watch it on channel two, I'm sorry, Channel four, Channel five.
Those are the two stations that at least I know
they're covering it right now. Some of the other stations
might be covering it as well, but I know at
least on channel four and on Channel five they're covering
this chase. And this is this is a wild one.
(25:19):
This is our first one back, this one. You know,
we're getting back to normalcy where idiots are being idiots again.
You know, this is a real telltale sign. Channel nine
is covering it as well. Let's see if i'm channel seven.
They're not on it yet. I'm sure they will be.
Channel five is on it, Channel four is on it,
(25:40):
and Judge Judy is on So there you go. We're
watching this high speed chase. It is on the seven
to ten southbound at Rosecrans in Linn Wood. So it
looks like they might be transitioning here before we go
to break angel where are they going?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Situation? And as the situation, it looks like that.
Speaker 9 (26:00):
Might be the one oh five.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
All right, it looks like one o five And see
what they go east or west? Here? Are coming up?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Frustrating?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is this? See here? If they go into the west? Okay,
that's west guy, Yeah, into the west into the sun.
Now the guy's got no sunglasses on. He's gonna be
driving into that sun. Seem to another disadvantage for these
two young men.
Speaker 13 (26:23):
It's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, just so brazen. They don't just one O five
west bound one O five west bound. Two motorcycles coming
up and they're slowing down, which means gas might be
a problem, or electricity whatever they're doing. But it looks
like these guys are gonna get caught unless unless they're
on the one oh five to try to go to
(26:46):
l A X where they can get lost in one
of these parking lots. That is possible. That is possibly
what they're thinking right here, will follow them high speed
Chase Channel five four, Channel five.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
These guys are refueling at it at a Chevron station.
They were met by five or six of their buddies
on motorcycles. One a guy on an ATV. It's on
channel four and channel five. Man, oh man, it is
a wild wild West here in Los Angeles. These two
guys are now passing around this you know, this gas pump.
(27:27):
Everybody's refueling. There's no cops in site. They're on East
Imperial Highway and Success ironically Avenue, and I's a guy
in a four wheeler. There's a guy. They're shaking their
their bikes right now to get as much gas in
as possible.
Speaker 13 (27:46):
Multiple guys doing very impressive wheelies down the road.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Unbelievable, man, the guys doing the wheelie, that was impressive.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
All right, they're fully fueled again, ready to roll, and
we continue with this high speed chase. Now there's a
twenty of them. Now there's twenty motorcycles all racing with
this guy. And now the guy that was running away
from the cops is doing an unbelievable wheelie. He's got
fuel again, so he's doing a very impressive wheelie. I
don't know how they do that, but he's taking it
(28:17):
probably about quarter mile, doing a full blown wheelie with
the cross up.
Speaker 13 (28:24):
You know, Steph, can you do a wheelie with a
dirt bike?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I wish I could have. Do you ride dirt bikes?
Speaker 10 (28:29):
No?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
No, okay, all right, this guy's doing the huge wheelie.
He's got to wipe out doing this. I think these
guys might be I don't know. Now he's riding with one.
He's got one foot on the seat and doing a
wheelie and he's it's very it's fairly impressive if you're
at a circus, but he's doing it on the streets there,
(28:52):
and I imagine the cops hate this kind of crap.
Speaker 13 (28:54):
Oh my god, they gotta be pulling their hair out.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Okay, this is that's actually legitimately impressive. He's gone for yeah,
almost a a half mile. Yeah, it's getting that to
that point with a wheelie and just one knee on
the seat. Yeah. Look, if he's got a counterweight, the
balance of right. But if that guy has that kind
of skill, I don't know why he didn't put it
to good use. You know, that's a skill that you
(29:16):
can make some money on. I don't know what's going
on with these two chaps.
Speaker 13 (29:23):
I think in one of those metal orbs.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
This is a This is a wild, wild chase. I've
ever seen anything like this. It's sort of like Mad
Max style where it's uh, you know, every man for himself,
lawlessness going to these guys.
Speaker 13 (29:36):
They're all for each other.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, I imagine every one of those guys is also
breaking the law and you know, getting involved in a
high speed chase. I don't know what the answer to
this is, but it doesn't.
Speaker 13 (29:48):
They know it's a high speed chase at this point
if there's no cops around.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, I think they do, because they all got when
they got off the freeway. They all surrounded him, so
they all got phone calls.
Speaker 13 (29:57):
I figure they do. But you know, could you, you know, could.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You prove that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I think you could. I think you go back and
look at the video and I might maybe not, but
they're looking for, you know, these two guys. These two
guys are the principal guy with the doing the wheelie,
and then the guy in the blue bike as well.
And again that's impressive. Whatever this guy did with the highway,
Perla should have done that. But to have, you know,
to be able to ride a mile long. Now they're
(30:23):
collecting looks like they're collecting just more and more motorcycles
as they go along. Here authorities are tracking these multiple
motor bikes.
Speaker 13 (30:32):
And now there were this many dirt bikes in southeast La.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Yeah, and this many impressive riders.
Speaker 13 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You know, I've tried to do wheelies on just a
standard bike, a shwind bike with a banana seat. I
was always wiping out. I shall never do that.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
There's more dirt bikes out there than there is dirt.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
All right.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
We're continuing to watch it and monitor the high speed chase.
Big love sign on the wall there if you're familiar
with that area right off the one oh five Freeway,
and these guys the authorities and get away.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
They can simply go back to back gas station they're
off of Imperial and Success and get the credit card
information for the for the person who paid.
Speaker 13 (31:10):
People who say.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
They're just out the credit card. Is really there's.
Speaker 11 (31:16):
Fun thinking this is hilarious, and they're cutting people out
there in the community.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
They're showing off.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
They're showing off, and I really believe they know they're
going to get caught eventually, and they're just having I.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Just think they're going to get away, and they're minding.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
To get away. They know they know.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
It's just really feeling there's going to be an accident
here though, using resources that many.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Guys doing wheelies and then you know, the sun's going down,
the suns and people's eyes.
Speaker 13 (31:42):
Would you freak out a little bit if you were
in one of those cars and all of these things pulled.
Speaker 11 (31:45):
Up beside in real time and.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I freak out, what pulls up next to me?
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Yeah, take it easy, about a dozen, but you hardly
pulled up.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Like eighteen.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
Is that about eighteen you?
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's it's really incredible.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
And as you said, just to waste of resources when
you think about all that law enforcement in the LA
area has gone through in the last week, with our
fires being unpractical alert this entire time, which means they
don't get to go home to their families, They have
to stay on ship for very long shifts, and when
they do get to go Channel four, it's.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
A rest before they're back on the front lines of
the fires.
Speaker 10 (32:25):
So it's really upsetting to know that people would just
waste valuable resources like that and waste their time knowing
everything that our community is going through.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
But I think there's one guy out there trying to
talk sense.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, that work gets hurt.
Speaker 10 (32:40):
I don't think these guys are going to stop. I
think they're just going to keep going for as long
as they can. And now that the two guys that
kick this off have full tanks, who knows how long
we might be following.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
All right, we're gonna let you get some information, stay
with your picture right here. Incredible, But now it's all
coming clear for me. I understand why they tried to
pit a CHP officer because there's just no logical talk
to this. This is this is insane.
Speaker 11 (33:04):
There is no thought as we approach here, they're on
Imperial Highway. This is around the one ten and one
oh five interchange. They've been mostly because they've even split
on the streets and on the first but now back
on the streets they met up with other bikers. It
started with two people wanted for reckless rides.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I was the guy in the bluep like I tail
off this group and go home.
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Happened around three.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
You got yourself a blessing here. Now the ATV guys
doing a wheel split.
Speaker 10 (33:36):
The rest wait, which runs parallel to the one oh
five kind of inn winds with the one O five,
but for the most part it runs on the north side.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Of the one. I like to sound like a ninety
year old. But where are the parents?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Parents involved?
Speaker 13 (33:51):
All Christmas presents from parents.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
With this crew is going to be hoover.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Any mom or dad trying to stop this.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Sorry, it's just dangerous because they could.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Very easily follow, and they're all trying to outwheel each
other to.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Be very painful.
Speaker 10 (34:08):
And I have a feeling that if one of their
buddies were to fall, then hopefully that would bring things
to an enemy traffic friend.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
But you think if one of these guys go down.
The other guy's gonna step step up and try to
help them.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
They've got a little army here on Imperial Highway in
the South Los Angeles area.
Speaker 11 (34:27):
Elia.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
If they I got to say they are stopping for lions.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
Eventually, how to implicate things, given that the chase is
really happening, They stopping for traffic.
Speaker 10 (34:37):
Okay, it will complicate things because then we're going to
have those flight restrictions with la X and even for
the police ships it could be a problem.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Sometimes the LA I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
The answer is, even though the c HPR officer the
police I don't know what the answer is to tackle
this drama impossible.
Speaker 10 (34:55):
So that is a time when it might be possible
for them to get out of the side of the
law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
CAW has a beautiful picture. They're really up tight.
Speaker 10 (35:03):
And pursuit as of late, where people will go to
lax perhaps knowing that the airship can't follow them, and
then they go into a parking structure. Now there's a
lot of cameras in those parking structures, and eventually they
could put the.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Guy's back on his phone again. The guy with the
white motorcycle, all right, we got to take a break.
This is a wild chase. Never see anything like this. Here,
we're back, getting back to normal. I guess in Los
Angeles they go crazies. They're rackets, and they're earlier. They
around their bikes. We're live on KFI AM six forty
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
(35:38):
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeart Radio app.
