This week on the show, CNN’s Elex Michaelson joins us to break down the biggest cultural and political stories making headlines. We dive into the Grammys, including the controversy surrounding Cher and a powerful, star‑studded tribute featuring Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean reuniting the Fugees to honor D’Angelo and the late Roberta Flack.
Elex Michaelson — often dubbed “the young Wolf Blitzer” — also talks about his CNN primetime show airing weeknights from 9 to 11 p.m. and weighs in on the latest immigration issues shaping the national conversation.
Plus, a look at maritime history as the Queen Mary 2 docks alongside the iconic Queen Mary, and a surprising new housing reality: renting is now cheaper than owning a home in every major U.S. metro area, with homeowners paying roughly 37% more per month than renters.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Look
who's strolled in, Alex Michaelson. How you bumming ding dong
with with you? Man? You look great over there. At
CNN you have to do your own makeup anything. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's it's really amazing to have you.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
They have makeup and hair over there, they do Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, you got to come on the show just to
get your hair and makeup there. Yeah, but at Fox
you had to do it yourself. For the last several
around COVID, they said that they were removing them for
safety reasons. I see, And then somehow they were concerned
about safety so much when they.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, they got to go back to makeup. Because for
the last couple of years at Fox, you look too shiny.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I look terrible. I didn't know what I was doing.
See to me, I always stopped. I always thought, let's
make ourselves look bad, so then maybe they'll bring them back.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I thought some of the women were not so into that.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We talked about that on our SAG after calls. We said,
what if everybody didn't wear any makeup? Make ourselves look
so so bad that there would be a news story
about that, and then it would force them to stop
being greedy and bring the makeup in.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But you know, look, I know people listening right now.
You know, you're driving home and you're like, who gives
an athlete? It's a big deal. It's a big deal.
Is it's a big because because when you see you know,
like people who have crappy makeup, that's all you think about.
It draws your distracting it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, you've got like a hair out of place. All
anybody will full that one hair.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That's right, And they do that a lot of Fox
News on the National uh news. You know a lot
of these uh women who are blonde. There's one hair
that's sticking out, and all you do is stare at
that thing the entire time. CNN every night, nine to
eleven pm exactly. That's a big deal. It's been really fun. Yeah,
I'm back, And obviously the big story continues to be
(01:49):
the Rams signing Sean McVay.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Right, we will talk about that. We actually have tonight.
There's a big documentary that Amazon just put out about
the Tampa Bay Buckeers. It's a it's a series about
their fifty years, a ten part series. And so the
director of that and a guy named Gerald McCoy who
played for years for the Bucks and was a several
times Pro Bowls coming in to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Did you happen to see the outdoor hockey game yesterday?
It was Boston versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh, I didn't know. It was great.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It had a huge fight in it. Yeah, that outdoor hockey.
You know, it's a huge event, right, you know, nobody
can if you go to it, nobody can see anything
because you're you know, you're too far from the park.
But on TV it looks great, right, you know, and
that's what it should be. Outdoors. All those kids started
playing hockey outdoors.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, not not in southern California, but but but in Canada.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, that's much more of a thing. And because you know,
so many kids couldn't play, you know, outdoors. Here in
La there's like one guy, Trevor Moore, who's ever even
made it to the NHL. Yeah, you know, all the
guys are from Canada. But the Canadians haven't won a
Stanley Cup since nineteen ninety three. Isn't that wild it's crazy, yeah,
(03:00):
or ninety five. I think it's ninety three. I think
Montreal was the last time to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well and they weren't able to win the World Series
either thanks to the Dodgers. That's right, yeah, exactly, Dodgers
go back to back. And sitting in that seat right
now on Friday was Miguel Rojas. I heard, I heard
that you that you loved him.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I love that man, And I said to him, I
said to Krozier, I said, how long can I hug
him without being uncomfortable? And Krozier said three. I said, oh,
three minutes and he goes, no, no, no, three seconds, you idiot?
Maybe three seconds. Yeah, but that guy is responsible for
one of the happiest moments of my life.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, yeah, you think about so. I yesterday I
was out at a Polar Plunge event that Chris Taylor organized,
remember Chris Taylor and the Dodgers. So a bunch of
his former Dodger teammates came out to Manhattan Beach to
support his charity, and everybody ran in the ocean together.
If you do it of this, I did it? Yeah,
not so Polari, though I literally made fun of that
(03:59):
in this story seventy five degrees. It felt great, but
several of them were out there and talking about and
talking to them. I mean like one or two inches
on so many different plays. The Dodgers don't win, Yeah,
and you think about everything that happened for them to win.
John Sue, who who is the Dodgers photographer for the
(04:20):
last forty years, most iconic, incredible pictures, somebody great to
follow on Instagram, said that season made him realize that
God exists.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wait what's his name again?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
John Sue, who soo hoo worth following was for the
Dodger photographer for decades and the Laker photographer for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's great to know. John Sue, who as ho go
follow him and I can't wait to see his work.
Did you watch the Grammys? I did? Did you fast forward?
You did? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm a big believer in the Grammys is the best
four hour show. That's great for an hour and a half, right,
an amazing hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I can't believe what they did to share, she said,
they did it to her, Yes, they did her.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What what they wrote? Luther Vandros And Okay, here's what
they did do? How did they do it to her?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, I have watched Award Show since I was a child.
Right now, they're part of the house, They're part of
the business, and you watch them. I've been watching them for,
you know, more than sixty years. And I've never ever
in my life seen somebody get a Lifetime Achievement Special
award and then have to give out an award themselves.
(05:31):
I've never seen that before. And that's and that's what
they made Share do.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah. But but I mean, how hard is it to read?
I mean, but she I don't want to say anything
bad about Share because she's such an icon, but it
was it brought back that remember when John Travolta did
the oh yeah, Adele dize when he was trying to
say beautifully talent, Adele disease. But but I was waiting
for Luther. I was kind of excited. We were going
(05:56):
to have a Luther Vandros get the name right? Yeah, no,
she she said, Kendrick Lamar was Luther Vandros.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Right, But she didn't get Luther Vandrose right, like just
a Randrose and And somebody had to have told her
that Luther is no longer with us. I hope so yeah,
but but I did watch. You know, I'm not into
the politics, so I'd like slide through there. But it
was it was nice to see, you know, the up
(06:23):
and coming talent. You know, they had all eight people
or all eight groups or individuals who were up for
new band or you know, new performer and to get
that Grammy, and you can you can tell that every
one of them more nervous being there, you know, because
a year ago or two years ago, maybe even two
months ago, they were playing in bars, right, you know,
(06:44):
in front of nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then to see them all back to back, and
that also really showed how amazing it is to have
a big arena like Crypto dot com. Because because they
did eight back to back, they did it in all
different parts of the arena. It was really beautifully shot.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, it's a very difficult show to pull off for
producers and directors.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What did you think of Lauren Hill?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I don't know. What was she performing fast forward to
through was past? I thought that was the best part.
What did she sing?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
She did the tribute to DiAngelo and ROBERTA.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Flack? Oh, okay, I saw that that was good. That
was good. That was really good. And I liked when
everybody got on stage and saying killing me softly that
she led that. Yeah, okay, that's why then I now
know who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, well, you know, she was like the biggest star
in the world in nineteen ninety nine, had one of
the great albums of all time, Miseducation of Lauren Hill,
and then basically went away and kind of went crazy.
And she's notorious for being three hours late for her concert.
She's had all sorts of problems, she had all sorts
of political scandals. It was like she was coming back
from the dead, like she basically it was like, I
(07:50):
don't know who was more dead her Joni Mitchell to
come back from but it was amazing to see Lauren
Hill up on the stage.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Did you cover that for CNEN? Did you go to
the War?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Did not?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Maybe next year?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
All right, But you you must be exhausted from doing
the show. I mean it's a lot you were doing.
You know, you're reading news, which is very simple to do,
and then you're doing that half hour show called The
Issue Is, which is also pretty easy to do because
it's like it's like twenty two minutes. It was. We
put a lot of work into that twenty two minutes. Okay,
but now you're doing two hours live every night. That's
(08:24):
a lot. It's a lot. Is it wearing on you
a little bit?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm trying to take more time for like, you know,
right working and it's walking out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's probably all you think about. You're the new guy
over there, and you've got it. When they say, you know, jump,
you have to say out how high? When they say
you're going to be our guy with NASA, you know,
with this rocket coming back, you're going to be the
guy that you know, does New Year's Eve or whatever.
You have to say yes to everything, certainly right now? Yes,
And that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's been a lot, but it's also cool. It's also
a compliment and it's cool, you know. I mean that
if I'm going to complain about that, I'll sound like,
right Church, how long a deal did you sign with him?
It's a three year deal?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh it is. That's great. And they've got to pay
you whether you you know, you're on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Or not, and who knows what happens to CNN, So
oh that's right, and they still got to pay you off. Yeah,
Oh that's great. You're looking forward to that huh. All right,
Alex Michaels and Q stay at five thirty. Okay, Alex
Michaelson's with us. Well, may we'll talk about the Olympics
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Lot.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Also, the mayor, Mayor Bas had a big speech today,
Lots going on, and the guy and the Super Bowl, Yes,
is exactly right. And the guy who covers it every
night from nine to eleven on CNN is here in
the studio sitting in Mickey Rojas's seat.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Alex Michaelson, the new king of CNN is with us?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Not even a prince?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wait? So nobody calls you the young Wolf Flitzer over there?
Only you? Okay? Is that offensive to you or to Wolf?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Or I think to be offensive to Wolf? Really, I
don't even know if Wolf knows my name.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But you don't think so?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I mean probably, But I've not interacted with Wolf on
the areet.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, You're on CNN every night from nine to eleven PM. Yeah,
and are you still allowed to cover local issues like
Mayor Bass? Will you cover her big speech today?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I don't know if we will cover that particular one.
But we've had Mayor Bass on the show three times already,
so yeah, I mean we cover local issues too.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You I know you think I'm joking here, but you
are responsible for meyriort Baths becoming the mayor.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Of la That's not true, but it is true.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You introduced her on your show many times, many times,
and you pushed her and you shoved her down our throat.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We almost got her elected vice president too, that's right, Yes,
that's right. It was the first one that introduced that
as a concept, that's right, and then she became one
of the top three.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What is the vibe out there? Do you think that
she'll be re elected? Probably? Really?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, I mean I think she deserves that that. I'm
not going to weigh in on that. That's not my job.
I mean, look, right now, it's it's you got it.
It's it's about who your opponent is, right right? And
nobody runs? Why is anybody running cars? And Buttner's running.
I don't know why Carusa is not running. I guess
his family decided that they didn't want him to run.
(11:12):
Maybe he's running not runn because he didn't think he
was going to win. You know, we forget you know
that that Los Angeles is mostly east of the four
or five, not west of the four or five.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So Ricruso won west of the four h five big time.
He already won Pacific Palisades with seventy five percent of
the vote last time. How much higher could it be?
And those people don't even live there now, right, So,
so the the issues east of the four or five
are different, and one of those big issues is is
the ice rates. And it's a big reason why Mayor
Bass jumped on. That was as accessible in your face
(11:44):
about that as any issue, and it's helped her numbers
in a big way.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Let me ask you a question. Alex Michaelson's with us.
He's on CNN every night live from nine to eleven pm.
Donald Trump has tossed nearly two million people out of
this country? Is that right? Does that sound about right?
Islose three? I think it's less but okay, okay, let's
say it's less than two million. Yeah. When Clinton was president,
(12:10):
he removed twelve twelve point three million people out of
this country.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay? And are you when you say Trump, are you
combining the first term in now or first term.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And second term. Okay, okay, all right, So so Clinton,
Bill Clinton threw twelve almost twelve and a half million
people out of this country and I never heard a
peep while he was doing it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And Barack Obama was known as the deport chief.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, four million people. But you heard something about that, right,
I mean, he was you know, even people in his
own party called him deporter in chief.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well, if you look at the Bill Clinton language on immigration,
if you look at any of those speeches from back
in the nineties, he would sound like a mainstream Republican. Now,
I mean, the the the language on immigration has changed
dramatically in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I think you're right. But also, you know, there have
been a lot of politicians on the left who have said,
come to this country, it's a sanctuary city, use the schools,
We'll give you food, buy a car, buy a home,
the Feds will never touch you. And those were lies
because they knew they couldn't do anything if the Feds
(13:15):
wanted to ever come in and remove people. They knew
they didn't have the power to stop them. But how
many politicians literally said that quote for that quote, the
Feds will never touch you. Well, Okay, they said a
sanctuary city, you can live here and we'll protect you,
and they have not protected them. They they can't protect
they can't protect them. The concept of a sanctuary city
(13:38):
as a true sanctuary city is just not true. It
doesn't exist, right, And so I don't understand why the like.
Let me give you an example. Let's say I sell
you a car, right and you're driving around in this new,
beautiful Corolla somewhere and then you find then the cops
three years later go to you and say that wasn't
Conway's car to sell to you. We're taking it from you.
(14:00):
Are you mad at the cops or me? You've probably
be mad at both, wouldn't you, right, but more me
than the cops. Yes, yeah, And and so there's there's
a similar situation going on here where they're mad at ice,
but not at the politicians that voted for all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well what politicians said, well you have there's no risk
in coming here. You don't think they said that for
twenty five years. That's a sanctuary city that will protect you.
You don't think I could go and get quote after
quote a centurius. It will protect you from ever being deported.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Will protect you. You know, buy a home, use the schools,
you know, become part of society, and we will we
will not throw you out of this country, and we
will help you and protect you.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
They they're also you know, they said we'll give you
a license. They did everything they could to make them
almost citizens. Yet they forgot the citizenship because they couldn't
do that part. Right. But but I think that they
I think there was a lot of lying to people
on how much power they had to protect them, and
it ultimately turns out they have very little.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Right And now that bluff is being called by the
federal government.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, but none of the anger is directed towards the
politicians that said, you know, you'll be safe here.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
There's no there isn't there isn't that much being directed
towards them.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I want you to start that campaign. I want you
to start with that. Yeah tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, I mean one of the questions, one of the
questions I have been asking consistently on CNN, which frankly
a lot of the Democrats don't have a good answer for,
is one, should it be illegal to be in this
country without documentation?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Is that? Is it? Actually?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Do you believe in the concept of illegal immigration. What
do they say to that? There most say yes, but
it's not very clear. And two, what is the consequence
for being in this country without documentation? And what's the
response to that? It's it's muddled. Really, Yes, all right, well,
that I think, but that's part of the thing, because
(16:03):
I don't I think there is a portion of the
Democratic Party, not the whole Democratic Party, that doesn't actually
believe that it is wrong to be here without documentation.
And so that's so there should not be a consequence.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, I love the honesty in that, at least they're
being honest, but there's no reason why. You know, the
Republicans don't want them to become citizens, and the Democrats,
you know, they they thrive off of, you know, running
that in their campaign that we're going to help you
and we're going to protect you and all that stuff.
And so nothing ever gets done in Washington to help
these people out. Nothing, and some of them been here
(16:36):
for thirty forty.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Years because it's been in both parties' best interest to
not have it actually saw right, because that bases don't
want it solved because they're because it's a great fundraising issue.
That's what Ultimately, the big dollar donors who give to
both parties don't want it solved because they like the
cheap labor.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Here's how Democrats are going to win. This This guy
that won in Texas, he you know, he ran in
it for a seat. I think it's a grestional or
state Senate seat, and he ran in a in an
area that was that Trump dominated by seventeen points in
the last election, and he now I think lost by
the woman lost by sixteen points. I mean it's a
huge swing. But if you look at his website, he
(17:14):
never once mentioned Trump, and he always said, you know,
you know that schools should be for education, not these
you know, weird social movements, and that read sort of
like a Republican's platform. And I think that's how the
Democrats are going to win if they get pushed more
towards the center.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Everyone vote for him. I'd vote for him, That's the thing.
I mean, that's and that's like they get back to
basics sort of thing. That's somebody like Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.
If you talk to him, the number one thing you
should be talking about is safe schools, safe streets, you know,
and that's how they're going to use that people actually
really care about in their main life. I mean, look,
for most people in southern California, what do they really want.
(17:55):
They'd like to be able to walk their kid to
the park without having to walk onto syringes or having
a homeless person in the street, right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Or go some crazy squv buzzing around.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Have a good school that they can send their kids
to that you know, I mean all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I know you got to get out of here, buddy,
you are giant stud Thank you, and I want to
see every Monday come on in.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, next Sunday, I'm going to be doing a special
show from the field of the Super Bowl. Yeah, so
at eight o'clock on CNN will be live from the
field doing a postgame show eight pm eight pm right
lafday after the game, after you've watched the network postgame show,
flip over to US eight to nine from the field.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Do you need a hair guy or guy? You can
pay my hair? That'll be fun, right, How weird would
that be? I'm here Michaelson's hair guy. Now you're not
you're vaping and you're playing TVG you got a hair
guy buddy, very nice to see you. Thank you giants.
Stud Tonight nine to eleven on ke on CNN.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The Queen Mary in Long Beach had a visitor. The
Queen Mary Too was in town. I think for the
first time in seventeen years, the Queen Mary Too came
into town and docked almost right next to the Queen Mary.
But man, what a beautiful shot that was. And there
must have been ten or fifteen people that went down
(19:23):
there and saw that. Nobody cared. I cared because I
think the Queen Mary's are a really cool deal, and
I think we're spoiled. And I think that if they
ever moved the Queen Mary, I think we'd all missed
this thing. You know, we grew up with the Queen
Mary around, and we went on as kids. You know,
(19:43):
you may have taken your kids on it, your great grandkids,
your great grandkids, and it's a really cool piece of history.
And I love going to every time I go to
the Queen Married. Man, I maybe I just I'm in
awe of seeing how big that ship is, how how
old it is, how well the craftsmanship in the rooms
(20:04):
and the bar, and the different decks and the pool.
It's really a great hang to see. The Queen Mary
and then the Queen Mary Too came into town. There
were two two Queen Mary's in Long Beach at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Has it took quite a truck to get up here.
But we're on the fourth floor. This is the observation deck.
And just take a look behind me. Not only is
it the most beautiful morning here we are on the
Queen Mary, but you can see right there the sign
that says the Queen Mary Too.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, And unfortunately, there was a cruise ship between the
two of them. I think it was. What's that cruise
line where everyone's always fighting on it. There's a cruise linehere,
everyone's always carnival Carnival, Yeah, Carnival cruise. And as they
shot the Carnival there was Queen Mary two, then the
Carnival cruise and then the Queen Mary, the original Queen Mary.
(20:56):
And as they took video from the Queen Mary Too,
the Queen Mary Too, you could see there was a
fight going on on the carnival ship. There's always some
kind of battle going on on these ships.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Now, this is an incredible moment decades in the making.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
This royal rendezvous.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
A royal rendezvous Queen Mary one and two.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
This moment is especially meaningful as the Queen Mary celebrates
her ninetieth anniversary, making her nineteen thirty six maiden voyage
and her legacy as one of the most famous ocean
liners in the world. Who now, he also have skyfive
flying over this because this is a really big deal, guys, and.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
You can see us. You are going to be passing.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's a big deal. It's a big deal to get
the two Queen Mary together. And again, nine people showed
up to see it. I don't know if they didn't
there wasn't there was any publicity around it, or people
were working, or people don't care. But you got to care.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
For the first time, the Queen Mary too arrives here
fresh off a historic transit through the Panama Canal before
making her official return to the Portolongue Beach her first
time in seventeen years.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, and by the way, the Queen Mary two is
not just a typical cruise ship. It is modeled after
the Queen Mary. Everything's done with the same you know, craftsmanship,
the same woodworkers, you know, not the exact same guys,
but the same vibe in the restaurants, in the ballrooms,
in the theaters, on the decks, in the rooms, the
(22:23):
state rooms. It's a magnificent ship. It's beautiful.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Her first time in seventeen years as part of the
CONRADS twenty twenty six World a voyage, a one hundred
and eight night journey spanning more than thirty ports across
the globe.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
One hundred and eight nights on the Queen Mary two.
What does that cost?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Now, we do have a ton of spectators out here.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
That's not true. I saw it. There was fifteen people
maybe out.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Okay, let me set this up. This is a guy
who's probably sixty five, maybe seventy and a woman same age,
and they have the exact same haircut, it's exactly the same.
He's coming home to a woman who decided to have
(23:32):
her haircut exactly like him, and he walks in every
night and he sees himself.

Well, well we're very excited.

Is that Lena Bobian? Is that who the reporter is.
She's trying to get these two people to get the
energy up. She's like, hey, is the magnificent? Is it unbelievable?
And he's just suicidal.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Special right to see this moment, this grand voyage, Oh yeah, yeah,
it's always classic one.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
They let the two queens you know, meet up.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
And how would you describe this moment here on the
observation deck, this beautiful morning.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Oh cold, suicidal, it's but it's great, it's really wonderful,
the southwards warm, except we got out just before a
one foot of snow hit North Carolina. Yeah yeah, well

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Let's take a look over this way we can get
a better better look at this.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Now nobody out there, nobody cares now except me. I care,
but nobody came out.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Now you can see the sign the Queen Mary too. Hi, guys,
would you think of this? Did you? Did you come
up here to see the rendezvous?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
No, this was just a surprise because we're on the
radiance this morning.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So we found out that I don't know what that means,
they're on the radiance.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
No, this this was just a surprise because we're on
the radiance this morning.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Any know what that means me a ship? Oh we're
on the radiance? Oh yeah, you're right. Maybe it's the
carnival radiance, which I mean which radiance I think is
French for fighting at sea.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Because we're on the radiance this morning, so we found
out that the Queen Mary was going to be here
last night.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
A nice surprise.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Yeah, it was pretty nice surprise.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That horn man. What a time to be on that ship. Yeah,
it's the Carnival radiance. Radiance Okay, which end that does?
In French means sea fight. This is what that means.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So if you're a renter, you're renting an apartment house,
maybe a condo, I don't know. Rents are getting cheaper
cheaper than owning. How about that in every metropolitan area
in the United States. It's not just locally. So if
you are retiring you want to move around, you are
going to get a sweeter deal now than you were
going to get six months or a year ago.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
This is the result of a study by lending Tree,
which indeed finds that renting is cheaper than owning a
home in every single major metropolitan area in the United States.
And this really underlines the unaffordability of the housing market,
especially for younger people who are just getting priced out
(27:03):
of the American dream, in other words, home ownership. So
this study finds that homeowners pay about thirty seven percent
more per month than renters.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Wait, what's the stat here?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Homeowners pay about thirty seven percent more per month than renters.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
About that, if you own a home, you're paying almost
forty percent more.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Which is to say, monthly mortgage costs can run about
five hundred and fifty dollars more than monthly rents, or
on an annual basis, you'd be paying about sixty five
hundred dollars more per year than a renter. And in
cities like La San Francisco, New York, a mortgage holder
can pay as much as fifteen hundred dollars more per
month than a renter. And in case you need some
(27:45):
context there, the median rent nationwide is now about fifteen
hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, that's that's pretty good. You know, it's come down
a lot. And I don't know if they've factored this in,
but property taxes as well, and those are due in April.
And man, it's a lot of money in California for
what you get for your money, not worth.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
It compared with a median monthly mortgage payment that tops
two thousand dollars typically here in southern California, it's gonna
be a good deal higher than that. This difference is
a key reason that millions of Americans now say they
just simply cannot afford a home and can't imagine a
circumstance in which they can. The Trump administration is well
aware of this problem and is pondering various ways to
(28:26):
make homes more affordable, and one such idea is steering
people into fifty year mortgages as opposed to the more
traditional thirty year mortgage. And in terms of a monthly payment,
a fifty year mortgage clearly is gonna have a lower
monthly payment than a thirty year mortgage.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, but you're gonna pay a lot more at the end.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
But the danger here is you'll be saddled with debt
for probably the rest of your natural life, and you'll
end up paying far more in interest under a fifty
year loan than you would under a thirty year loan.
So are we any closer to homes becoming more affordable?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, not a chance. Yeah, that sucks all right. Savannah
Guthrie a really cool woman on the Today Show, and
she was supposed to go to Italy to do the Olympics,
and now she's got to worry about her mom, her
mom or eighty four year old mom is missing.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Tonight the heartbreaking mystery in Arizona, investigator say. Nancy Guthrie,
the eighty four year old mother of Today's Show host
Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home, leaving her cell
phone behind.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What the Hell's going on in Arizona?
Speaker 10 (29:34):
The Sheriff's off is telling ABC News they now believe
she may have been kidnapped while she slept.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
She did not leave on her own.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We know that who's kidnapping an eighty four year old
woman in Arizona? Who woke up and did that?
Speaker 7 (29:51):
He says the evidence at the home tells them this
was a crime.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
We do, in fact have a crime scene, and we're
asking the community's hilprie.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
He lives alone at the house.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
She was last seen by Savannah's siblings Saturday night at
nine forty five. Friends alerted the family she missed church.
The next morning, the children checked the house and called
nine one one, saying with Nancy's physical ailments, she couldn't
have walked more than fifty yards. Nancy Guthrie's home is
deep in suburban Tucson, and a lot of the neighborhood
is shrouded by this desert wildlife, it would make it
(30:21):
tough to notice unusual activity going on. But there are
cameras at the house and that surrounding homes that the
sheriff says they are reviewing hoping to crack this case.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh good, okay, cameras. Let's find out what happened to
this lady who's taken her.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
The sheriff launching a massive search with help from the FBI,
using dogs, drones, helicopters, and heat seeking sensors.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
But by this morning that search was pulled back.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
They're gonna step aside. We'll call them out again if
we need to to do more searching right now, we
don't see this as a search mission as much as
we do with crime.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Scene police say.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
The Guthrie family wants everyone to know their mother has
no cognitive issues and he didn't just wander off.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Nancy Guthrie is of great sound mind. This is not
a dementia related She is as sharp as attack.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
But Nancy Guthrie needs prescription medication every day.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
Without it, they say, her life is at risk.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Medication that if she doesn't have in twenty four hours
it could be fatal.
Speaker 10 (31:19):
Savannah has a close bond with her mother, often posting
photos on Instagram. Over the years, Nancy Guthrie has joined
her daughter on the show job Love You Love You.
Just two months ago, Savannah appeared with her mom from Tucson,
where Nancy talked about why she stayed in Tucson all
these years.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
To see air, the quality of life is playback and gentle.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
In a statement, Savannah Guthrie and her fabit that'll change
right the reasons why she's in Arizona if somebody kidnapped her.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That description is going to change.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
To see air.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
The quality of life is playback, gentle, gentle, not anymore.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
In a statement, Savannah Guthrie and her family encourage anyone
with information to contact the sheriff and David. Savannah Guthrie
says the family is focused on the safe return of
their dear mother and they and the sheriff are urging
the public to come forward with any information or video
that could be of use. We want to share the
tip line that you can call. The number is five two, zero, three, five, one,
(32:22):
forty nine hundred numbers right there on your screen. They say,
no tip is too small. They are counting on the
public to help find.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
Ah how depressing You're going to the Olympics broadcast for
NBC and now you're up twenty four hours a day, worried,
sick about.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Where your mom is. Unbelievable. Right, We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and

with with you? Man? You look great over there. At
CNN you have to do your own makeup anything. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's it's really amazing to have you.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
They have makeup and hair over there, they do Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, you got to come on the show just to
get your hair and makeup there. Yeah, but at Fox
you had to do it yourself. For the last several
around COVID, they said that they were removing them for
safety reasons. I see, And then somehow they were concerned
about safety so much when they.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, they got to go back to makeup. Because for
the last couple of years at Fox, you look too shiny.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I look terrible. I didn't know what I was doing.
See to me, I always stopped. I always thought, let's
make ourselves look bad, so then maybe they'll bring them back.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I thought some of the women were not so into that.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We talked about that on our SAG after calls. We said,
what if everybody didn't wear any makeup? Make ourselves look
so so bad that there would be a news story
about that, and then it would force them to stop
being greedy and bring the makeup in.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But you know, look, I know people listening right now.
You know, you're driving home and you're like, who gives
an athlete? It's a big deal. It's a big deal.
Is it's a big because because when you see you know,
like people who have crappy makeup, that's all you think about.
It draws your distracting it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, you've got like a hair out of place. All
anybody will full that one hair.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
That's right, And they do that a lot of Fox
News on the National uh news. You know a lot
of these uh women who are blonde. There's one hair
that's sticking out, and all you do is stare at
that thing the entire time. CNN every night, nine to
eleven pm exactly. That's a big deal. It's been really fun. Yeah,
I'm back, And obviously the big story continues to be
(01:49):
the Rams signing Sean McVay.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Right, we will talk about that. We actually have tonight.
There's a big documentary that Amazon just put out about
the Tampa Bay Buckeers. It's a it's a series about
their fifty years, a ten part series. And so the
director of that and a guy named Gerald McCoy who
played for years for the Bucks and was a several
times Pro Bowls coming in to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Did you happen to see the outdoor hockey game yesterday?
It was Boston versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh, I didn't know. It was great.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It had a huge fight in it. Yeah, that outdoor hockey.
You know, it's a huge event, right, you know, nobody
can if you go to it, nobody can see anything
because you're you know, you're too far from the park.
But on TV it looks great, right, you know, and
that's what it should be. Outdoors. All those kids started
playing hockey outdoors.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, not not in southern California, but but but in Canada.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, that's much more of a thing. And because you know,
so many kids couldn't play, you know, outdoors. Here in
La there's like one guy, Trevor Moore, who's ever even
made it to the NHL. Yeah, you know, all the
guys are from Canada. But the Canadians haven't won a
Stanley Cup since nineteen ninety three. Isn't that wild it's crazy, yeah,
(03:00):
or ninety five. I think it's ninety three. I think
Montreal was the last time to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Well and they weren't able to win the World Series
either thanks to the Dodgers. That's right, yeah, exactly, Dodgers
go back to back. And sitting in that seat right
now on Friday was Miguel Rojas. I heard, I heard
that you that you loved him.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I love that man, And I said to him, I
said to Krozier, I said, how long can I hug
him without being uncomfortable? And Krozier said three. I said, oh,
three minutes and he goes, no, no, no, three seconds, you idiot?
Maybe three seconds. Yeah, but that guy is responsible for
one of the happiest moments of my life.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I mean, yeah, you think about so. I yesterday I
was out at a Polar Plunge event that Chris Taylor organized,
remember Chris Taylor and the Dodgers. So a bunch of
his former Dodger teammates came out to Manhattan Beach to
support his charity, and everybody ran in the ocean together.
If you do it of this, I did it? Yeah,
not so Polari, though I literally made fun of that
(03:59):
in this story seventy five degrees. It felt great, but
several of them were out there and talking about and
talking to them. I mean like one or two inches
on so many different plays. The Dodgers don't win, Yeah,
and you think about everything that happened for them to win.
John Sue, who who is the Dodgers photographer for the
(04:20):
last forty years, most iconic, incredible pictures, somebody great to
follow on Instagram, said that season made him realize that
God exists.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wait what's his name again?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
John Sue, who soo hoo worth following was for the
Dodger photographer for decades and the Laker photographer for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's great to know. John Sue, who as ho go
follow him and I can't wait to see his work.
Did you watch the Grammys? I did? Did you fast forward?
You did? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm a big believer in the Grammys is the best
four hour show. That's great for an hour and a half, right,
an amazing hour and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I can't believe what they did to share, she said,
they did it to her, Yes, they did her.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What what they wrote? Luther Vandros And Okay, here's what
they did do? How did they do it to her?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, I have watched Award Show since I was a child.
Right now, they're part of the house, They're part of
the business, and you watch them. I've been watching them for,
you know, more than sixty years. And I've never ever
in my life seen somebody get a Lifetime Achievement Special
award and then have to give out an award themselves.
(05:31):
I've never seen that before. And that's and that's what
they made Share do.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah. But but I mean, how hard is it to read?
I mean, but she I don't want to say anything
bad about Share because she's such an icon, but it
was it brought back that remember when John Travolta did
the oh yeah, Adele dize when he was trying to
say beautifully talent, Adele disease. But but I was waiting
for Luther. I was kind of excited. We were going
(05:56):
to have a Luther Vandros get the name right? Yeah, no,
she she said, Kendrick Lamar was Luther Vandros.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Right, But she didn't get Luther Vandrose right, like just
a Randrose and And somebody had to have told her
that Luther is no longer with us. I hope so yeah,
but but I did watch. You know, I'm not into
the politics, so I'd like slide through there. But it
was it was nice to see, you know, the up
(06:23):
and coming talent. You know, they had all eight people
or all eight groups or individuals who were up for
new band or you know, new performer and to get
that Grammy, and you can you can tell that every
one of them more nervous being there, you know, because
a year ago or two years ago, maybe even two
months ago, they were playing in bars, right, you know,
(06:44):
in front of nobody.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And then to see them all back to back, and
that also really showed how amazing it is to have
a big arena like Crypto dot com. Because because they
did eight back to back, they did it in all
different parts of the arena. It was really beautifully shot.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, it's a very difficult show to pull off for
producers and directors.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What did you think of Lauren Hill?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I don't know. What was she performing fast forward to
through was past? I thought that was the best part.
What did she sing?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
She did the tribute to DiAngelo and ROBERTA.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Flack? Oh, okay, I saw that that was good. That
was good. That was really good. And I liked when
everybody got on stage and saying killing me softly that
she led that. Yeah, okay, that's why then I now
know who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, well, you know, she was like the biggest star
in the world in nineteen ninety nine, had one of
the great albums of all time, Miseducation of Lauren Hill,
and then basically went away and kind of went crazy.
And she's notorious for being three hours late for her concert.
She's had all sorts of problems, she had all sorts
of political scandals. It was like she was coming back
from the dead, like she basically it was like, I
(07:50):
don't know who was more dead her Joni Mitchell to
come back from but it was amazing to see Lauren
Hill up on the stage.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Did you cover that for CNEN? Did you go to
the War?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Did not?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Maybe next year?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
All right, But you you must be exhausted from doing
the show. I mean it's a lot you were doing.
You know, you're reading news, which is very simple to do,
and then you're doing that half hour show called The
Issue Is, which is also pretty easy to do because
it's like it's like twenty two minutes. It was. We
put a lot of work into that twenty two minutes. Okay,
but now you're doing two hours live every night. That's
(08:24):
a lot. It's a lot. Is it wearing on you
a little bit?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm trying to take more time for like, you know,
right working and it's walking out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's probably all you think about. You're the new guy
over there, and you've got it. When they say, you know, jump,
you have to say out how high? When they say
you're going to be our guy with NASA, you know,
with this rocket coming back, you're going to be the
guy that you know, does New Year's Eve or whatever.
You have to say yes to everything, certainly right now? Yes,
And that's a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's been a lot, but it's also cool. It's also
a compliment and it's cool, you know. I mean that
if I'm going to complain about that, I'll sound like,
right Church, how long a deal did you sign with him?
It's a three year deal?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh it is. That's great. And they've got to pay
you whether you you know, you're on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Or not, and who knows what happens to CNN, So
oh that's right, and they still got to pay you off. Yeah,
Oh that's great. You're looking forward to that huh. All right,
Alex Michaels and Q stay at five thirty. Okay, Alex
Michaelson's with us. Well, may we'll talk about the Olympics
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Lot.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Also, the mayor, Mayor Bas had a big speech today,
Lots going on, and the guy and the Super Bowl, Yes,
is exactly right. And the guy who covers it every
night from nine to eleven on CNN is here in
the studio sitting in Mickey Rojas's seat.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Alex Michaelson, the new king of CNN is with us?
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Not even a prince?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wait? So nobody calls you the young Wolf Flitzer over there?
Only you? Okay? Is that offensive to you or to Wolf?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Or I think to be offensive to Wolf? Really, I
don't even know if Wolf knows my name.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But you don't think so?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I mean probably, But I've not interacted with Wolf on
the areet.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, You're on CNN every night from nine to eleven PM. Yeah,
and are you still allowed to cover local issues like
Mayor Bass? Will you cover her big speech today?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I don't know if we will cover that particular one.
But we've had Mayor Bass on the show three times already,
so yeah, I mean we cover local issues too.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
You I know you think I'm joking here, but you
are responsible for meyriort Baths becoming the mayor.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Of la That's not true, but it is true.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You introduced her on your show many times, many times,
and you pushed her and you shoved her down our throat.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We almost got her elected vice president too, that's right, Yes,
that's right. It was the first one that introduced that
as a concept, that's right, and then she became one
of the top three.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
What is the vibe out there? Do you think that
she'll be re elected? Probably? Really?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, I mean I think she deserves that that. I'm
not going to weigh in on that. That's not my job.
I mean, look, right now, it's it's you got it.
It's it's about who your opponent is, right right? And
nobody runs? Why is anybody running cars? And Buttner's running.
I don't know why Carusa is not running. I guess
his family decided that they didn't want him to run.
(11:12):
Maybe he's running not runn because he didn't think he
was going to win. You know, we forget you know
that that Los Angeles is mostly east of the four
or five, not west of the four or five.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So Ricruso won west of the four h five big time.
He already won Pacific Palisades with seventy five percent of
the vote last time. How much higher could it be?
And those people don't even live there now, right, So,
so the the issues east of the four or five
are different, and one of those big issues is is
the ice rates. And it's a big reason why Mayor
Bass jumped on. That was as accessible in your face
(11:44):
about that as any issue, and it's helped her numbers
in a big way.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Let me ask you a question. Alex Michaelson's with us.
He's on CNN every night live from nine to eleven pm.
Donald Trump has tossed nearly two million people out of
this country? Is that right? Does that sound about right?
Islose three? I think it's less but okay, okay, let's
say it's less than two million. Yeah. When Clinton was president,
(12:10):
he removed twelve twelve point three million people out of
this country.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay? And are you when you say Trump, are you
combining the first term in now or first term.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And second term. Okay, okay, all right, So so Clinton,
Bill Clinton threw twelve almost twelve and a half million
people out of this country and I never heard a
peep while he was doing it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And Barack Obama was known as the deport chief.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, four million people. But you heard something about that, right,
I mean, he was you know, even people in his
own party called him deporter in chief.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Well, if you look at the Bill Clinton language on immigration,
if you look at any of those speeches from back
in the nineties, he would sound like a mainstream Republican. Now,
I mean, the the the language on immigration has changed
dramatically in the last twenty years.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I think you're right. But also, you know, there have
been a lot of politicians on the left who have said,
come to this country, it's a sanctuary city, use the schools,
We'll give you food, buy a car, buy a home,
the Feds will never touch you. And those were lies
because they knew they couldn't do anything if the Feds
(13:15):
wanted to ever come in and remove people. They knew
they didn't have the power to stop them. But how
many politicians literally said that quote for that quote, the
Feds will never touch you. Well, Okay, they said a
sanctuary city, you can live here and we'll protect you,
and they have not protected them. They they can't protect
they can't protect them. The concept of a sanctuary city
(13:38):
as a true sanctuary city is just not true. It
doesn't exist, right, And so I don't understand why the like.
Let me give you an example. Let's say I sell
you a car, right and you're driving around in this new,
beautiful Corolla somewhere and then you find then the cops
three years later go to you and say that wasn't
Conway's car to sell to you. We're taking it from you.
(14:00):
Are you mad at the cops or me? You've probably
be mad at both, wouldn't you, right, but more me
than the cops. Yes, yeah, And and so there's there's
a similar situation going on here where they're mad at ice,
but not at the politicians that voted for all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Well what politicians said, well you have there's no risk
in coming here. You don't think they said that for
twenty five years. That's a sanctuary city that will protect you.
You don't think I could go and get quote after
quote a centurius. It will protect you from ever being deported.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Will protect you. You know, buy a home, use the schools,
you know, become part of society, and we will we
will not throw you out of this country, and we
will help you and protect you.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
They they're also you know, they said we'll give you
a license. They did everything they could to make them
almost citizens. Yet they forgot the citizenship because they couldn't
do that part. Right. But but I think that they
I think there was a lot of lying to people
on how much power they had to protect them, and
it ultimately turns out they have very little.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Right And now that bluff is being called by the
federal government.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, but none of the anger is directed towards the
politicians that said, you know, you'll be safe here.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
There's no there isn't there isn't that much being directed
towards them.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I want you to start that campaign. I want you
to start with that. Yeah tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Well, I mean one of the questions, one of the
questions I have been asking consistently on CNN, which frankly
a lot of the Democrats don't have a good answer for,
is one, should it be illegal to be in this
country without documentation?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Is that? Is it? Actually?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Do you believe in the concept of illegal immigration. What
do they say to that? There most say yes, but
it's not very clear. And two, what is the consequence
for being in this country without documentation? And what's the
response to that? It's it's muddled. Really, Yes, all right, well,
that I think, but that's part of the thing, because
(16:03):
I don't I think there is a portion of the
Democratic Party, not the whole Democratic Party, that doesn't actually
believe that it is wrong to be here without documentation.
And so that's so there should not be a consequence.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, I love the honesty in that, at least they're
being honest, but there's no reason why. You know, the
Republicans don't want them to become citizens, and the Democrats,
you know, they they thrive off of, you know, running
that in their campaign that we're going to help you
and we're going to protect you and all that stuff.
And so nothing ever gets done in Washington to help
these people out. Nothing, and some of them been here
(16:36):
for thirty forty.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Years because it's been in both parties' best interest to
not have it actually saw right, because that bases don't
want it solved because they're because it's a great fundraising issue.
That's what Ultimately, the big dollar donors who give to
both parties don't want it solved because they like the
cheap labor.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Here's how Democrats are going to win. This This guy
that won in Texas, he you know, he ran in
it for a seat. I think it's a grestional or
state Senate seat, and he ran in a in an
area that was that Trump dominated by seventeen points in
the last election, and he now I think lost by
the woman lost by sixteen points. I mean it's a
huge swing. But if you look at his website, he
(17:14):
never once mentioned Trump, and he always said, you know,
you know that schools should be for education, not these
you know, weird social movements, and that read sort of
like a Republican's platform. And I think that's how the
Democrats are going to win if they get pushed more
towards the center.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Everyone vote for him. I'd vote for him, That's the thing.
I mean, that's and that's like they get back to
basics sort of thing. That's somebody like Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania.
If you talk to him, the number one thing you
should be talking about is safe schools, safe streets, you know,
and that's how they're going to use that people actually
really care about in their main life. I mean, look,
for most people in southern California, what do they really want.
(17:55):
They'd like to be able to walk their kid to
the park without having to walk onto syringes or having
a homeless person in the street, right.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Or go some crazy squv buzzing around.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Have a good school that they can send their kids
to that you know, I mean all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I know you got to get out of here, buddy,
you are giant stud Thank you, and I want to
see every Monday come on in.

that be? I'm here Michaelson's hair guy. Now you're not
you're vaping and you're playing TVG you got a hair
guy buddy, very nice to see you. Thank you giants.
Stud Tonight nine to eleven on ke on CNN.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The Queen Mary in Long Beach had a visitor. The
Queen Mary Too was in town. I think for the
first time in seventeen years, the Queen Mary Too came
into town and docked almost right next to the Queen Mary.
But man, what a beautiful shot that was. And there
must have been ten or fifteen people that went down
(19:23):
there and saw that. Nobody cared. I cared because I
think the Queen Mary's are a really cool deal, and
I think we're spoiled. And I think that if they
ever moved the Queen Mary, I think we'd all missed
this thing. You know, we grew up with the Queen
Mary around, and we went on as kids. You know,
(19:43):
you may have taken your kids on it, your great grandkids,
your great grandkids, and it's a really cool piece of history.
And I love going to every time I go to
the Queen Married. Man, I maybe I just I'm in
awe of seeing how big that ship is, how how
old it is, how well the craftsmanship in the rooms
(20:04):
and the bar, and the different decks and the pool.
It's really a great hang to see. The Queen Mary
and then the Queen Mary Too came into town. There
were two two Queen Mary's in Long Beach at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Has it took quite a truck to get up here.
But we're on the fourth floor. This is the observation deck.
And just take a look behind me. Not only is
it the most beautiful morning here we are on the
Queen Mary, but you can see right there the sign
that says the Queen Mary Too.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, And unfortunately, there was a cruise ship between the
two of them. I think it was. What's that cruise
line where everyone's always fighting on it. There's a cruise linehere,
everyone's always carnival Carnival, Yeah, Carnival cruise. And as they
shot the Carnival there was Queen Mary two, then the
Carnival cruise and then the Queen Mary, the original Queen Mary.
(20:56):
And as they took video from the Queen Mary Too,
the Queen Mary Too, you could see there was a
fight going on on the carnival ship. There's always some
kind of battle going on on these ships.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Now, this is an incredible moment decades in the making.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
This royal rendezvous.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
A royal rendezvous Queen Mary one and two.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
This moment is especially meaningful as the Queen Mary celebrates
her ninetieth anniversary, making her nineteen thirty six maiden voyage
and her legacy as one of the most famous ocean
liners in the world. Who now, he also have skyfive
flying over this because this is a really big deal, guys, and.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
You can see us. You are going to be passing.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It's a big deal. It's a big deal to get
the two Queen Mary together. And again, nine people showed
up to see it. I don't know if they didn't
there wasn't there was any publicity around it, or people
were working, or people don't care. But you got to care.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
For the first time, the Queen Mary too arrives here
fresh off a historic transit through the Panama Canal before
making her official return to the Portolongue Beach her first
time in seventeen years.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, and by the way, the Queen Mary two is
not just a typical cruise ship. It is modeled after
the Queen Mary. Everything's done with the same you know, craftsmanship,
the same woodworkers, you know, not the exact same guys,
but the same vibe in the restaurants, in the ballrooms,
in the theaters, on the decks, in the rooms, the
(22:23):
state rooms. It's a magnificent ship. It's beautiful.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Her first time in seventeen years as part of the
CONRADS twenty twenty six World a voyage, a one hundred
and eight night journey spanning more than thirty ports across
the globe.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
One hundred and eight nights on the Queen Mary two.
What does that cost?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Now, we do have a ton of spectators out here.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
That's not true. I saw it. There was fifteen people
maybe out.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
There, people who came out this morning to take a look.
Come on, guys, don't be shy. We're on KTLA. Hi,
good morning, waving these folks here, they for sure came
out for this. Hi, good morning. We're with Katla Hight.
What do you think of this? Isn't it incredible?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Okay, let me set this up. This is a guy
who's probably sixty five, maybe seventy and a woman same age,
and they have the exact same haircut, it's exactly the same.
He's coming home to a woman who decided to have
(23:32):
her haircut exactly like him, and he walks in every
night and he sees himself.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Well, well we're very excited.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
We're going tomorrow for twenty eight days.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Oh you are?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, you could hear it in his voice. He's about
to go overboard.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Yes, yes, and we've been on her Where are you
guys from?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I don't know, original suicide, I mean I mean New Jersey,
I think.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
North Carolina now, but Virginally, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well thanks for cleaning that up for us.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
So it's pretty special, right to see this moment, this
grand voyage, the Ron davs Riel, Oh yeah, yeah, it's
always good.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Is that Lena Bobian? Is that who the reporter is.
She's trying to get these two people to get the
energy up. She's like, hey, is the magnificent? Is it unbelievable?
And he's just suicidal.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Special right to see this moment, this grand voyage, Oh yeah, yeah,
it's always classic one.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
They let the two queens you know, meet up.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
And how would you describe this moment here on the
observation deck, this beautiful morning.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Oh cold, suicidal, it's but it's great, it's really wonderful,
the southwards warm, except we got out just before a
one foot of snow hit North Carolina. Yeah yeah, well
you but you both made it to super Cuts before
you left North Carolina.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
All right, guys, well, thank you so much for joining
us this morning.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Maybe you should introduce him to your favorite song, your
favorite karaoke song.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, the Masch song.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Morning, enjoy your trip.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Let's take a look over this way we can get
a better better look at this.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Now nobody out there, nobody cares now except me. I care,
but nobody came out.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Now you can see the sign the Queen Mary too. Hi, guys,
would you think of this? Did you? Did you come
up here to see the rendezvous?
Speaker 8 (25:26):
No, this was just a surprise because we're on the
radiance this morning.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So we found out that I don't know what that means,
they're on the radiance.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
No, this this was just a surprise because we're on
the radiance this morning.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Any know what that means me a ship? Oh we're
on the radiance? Oh yeah, you're right. Maybe it's the
carnival radiance, which I mean which radiance I think is
French for fighting at sea.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Because we're on the radiance this morning, so we found
out that the Queen Mary was going to be here
last night.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
A nice surprise.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Yeah, it was pretty nice surprise.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That horn man. What a time to be on that ship. Yeah,
it's the Carnival radiance. Radiance Okay, which end that does?
In French means sea fight. This is what that means.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So if you're a renter, you're renting an apartment house,
maybe a condo, I don't know. Rents are getting cheaper
cheaper than owning. How about that in every metropolitan area
in the United States. It's not just locally. So if
you are retiring you want to move around, you are
going to get a sweeter deal now than you were
going to get six months or a year ago.
Speaker 9 (26:42):
This is the result of a study by lending Tree,
which indeed finds that renting is cheaper than owning a
home in every single major metropolitan area in the United States.
And this really underlines the unaffordability of the housing market,
especially for younger people who are just getting priced out
(27:03):
of the American dream, in other words, home ownership. So
this study finds that homeowners pay about thirty seven percent
more per month than renters.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Wait, what's the stat here?
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Homeowners pay about thirty seven percent more per month than renters.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
About that, if you own a home, you're paying almost
forty percent more.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Which is to say, monthly mortgage costs can run about
five hundred and fifty dollars more than monthly rents, or
on an annual basis, you'd be paying about sixty five
hundred dollars more per year than a renter. And in
cities like La San Francisco, New York, a mortgage holder
can pay as much as fifteen hundred dollars more per
month than a renter. And in case you need some
(27:45):
context there, the median rent nationwide is now about fifteen
hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, that's that's pretty good. You know, it's come down
a lot. And I don't know if they've factored this in,
but property taxes as well, and those are due in April.
And man, it's a lot of money in California for
what you get for your money, not worth.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
It compared with a median monthly mortgage payment that tops
two thousand dollars typically here in southern California, it's gonna
be a good deal higher than that. This difference is
a key reason that millions of Americans now say they
just simply cannot afford a home and can't imagine a
circumstance in which they can. The Trump administration is well
aware of this problem and is pondering various ways to
(28:26):
make homes more affordable, and one such idea is steering
people into fifty year mortgages as opposed to the more
traditional thirty year mortgage. And in terms of a monthly payment,
a fifty year mortgage clearly is gonna have a lower
monthly payment than a thirty year mortgage.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, but you're gonna pay a lot more at the end.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
But the danger here is you'll be saddled with debt
for probably the rest of your natural life, and you'll
end up paying far more in interest under a fifty
year loan than you would under a thirty year loan.
So are we any closer to homes becoming more affordable?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, not a chance. Yeah, that sucks all right. Savannah
Guthrie a really cool woman on the Today Show, and
she was supposed to go to Italy to do the Olympics,
and now she's got to worry about her mom, her
mom or eighty four year old mom is missing.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Tonight the heartbreaking mystery in Arizona, investigator say. Nancy Guthrie,
the eighty four year old mother of Today's Show host
Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home, leaving her cell
phone behind.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
What the Hell's going on in Arizona?
Speaker 10 (29:34):
The Sheriff's off is telling ABC News they now believe
she may have been kidnapped while she slept.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
She did not leave on her own.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
We know that who's kidnapping an eighty four year old
woman in Arizona? Who woke up and did that?
Speaker 7 (29:51):
He says the evidence at the home tells them this
was a crime.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
We do, in fact have a crime scene, and we're
asking the community's hilprie.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
He lives alone at the house.
Speaker 10 (30:01):
She was last seen by Savannah's siblings Saturday night at
nine forty five. Friends alerted the family she missed church.
The next morning, the children checked the house and called
nine one one, saying with Nancy's physical ailments, she couldn't
have walked more than fifty yards. Nancy Guthrie's home is
deep in suburban Tucson, and a lot of the neighborhood
is shrouded by this desert wildlife, it would make it
(30:21):
tough to notice unusual activity going on. But there are
cameras at the house and that surrounding homes that the
sheriff says they are reviewing hoping to crack this case.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Oh good, okay, cameras. Let's find out what happened to
this lady who's taken her.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
The sheriff launching a massive search with help from the FBI,
using dogs, drones, helicopters, and heat seeking sensors.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
But by this morning that search was pulled back.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
They're gonna step aside. We'll call them out again if
we need to to do more searching right now, we
don't see this as a search mission as much as
we do with crime.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Scene police say.
Speaker 10 (30:55):
The Guthrie family wants everyone to know their mother has
no cognitive issues and he didn't just wander off.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Nancy Guthrie is of great sound mind. This is not
a dementia related She is as sharp as attack.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
But Nancy Guthrie needs prescription medication every day.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
Without it, they say, her life is at risk.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Medication that if she doesn't have in twenty four hours
it could be fatal.
Speaker 10 (31:19):
Savannah has a close bond with her mother, often posting
photos on Instagram. Over the years, Nancy Guthrie has joined
her daughter on the show job Love You Love You.
Just two months ago, Savannah appeared with her mom from Tucson,
where Nancy talked about why she stayed in Tucson all
these years.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
To see air, the quality of life is playback and gentle.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
In a statement, Savannah Guthrie and her fabit that'll change
right the reasons why she's in Arizona if somebody kidnapped her.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That description is going to change.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
To see air.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
The quality of life is playback, gentle, gentle, not anymore.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
In a statement, Savannah Guthrie and her family encourage anyone
with information to contact the sheriff and David. Savannah Guthrie
says the family is focused on the safe return of
their dear mother and they and the sheriff are urging
the public to come forward with any information or video
that could be of use. We want to share the
tip line that you can call. The number is five two, zero, three, five, one,
(32:22):
forty nine hundred numbers right there on your screen. They say,
no tip is too small. They are counting on the
public to help find.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
Ah how depressing You're going to the Olympics broadcast for
NBC and now you're up twenty four hours a day, worried,
