KFI’s Michael Monks joins the show with the latest on protests across Downtown L.A., including the expected “ICE Out” nighttime demonstrations, plus continued protest activity in Santa Ana and what authorities are preparing for this evening.
Meeting Dodgers World Series hero Miguel “Miggy” Rojas is compared to meeting Kirk Gibson in ’88 just weeks after that legendary World Series — the emotion, the moment, and why some Dodger memories never fade.
A look back at one of the moments every Dodger fan remembers — that Miggy home run — and why it still resonates.
Plus, the Olympics opening on 2/6, as protests begin to escalate, with reports of food and objects being thrown and tensions rising.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM at
six forty. It's Conway Show. It is Friday, before we
get into all the protests in downtown LA also in
Santa Anna. I'm sorry, I have to say that we
(00:25):
have a special guest coming on at five o'clock. Miguel
Rojas with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the guy that hit
the home run in the bottom of the ninth to
tie up the game against the Blue Jays and then
save the game in the next inning by throwing the
ball to Smith to get the guy coming home. And
he's coming, and he's gonna be sitting right there. My
(00:48):
favorite human being that includes family, friends, coworkers, anybody I've
ever met my life, it's now him.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It is so funny to hear you say that, because
when I when he was getting a tour around the
building here a couple hours ago or hours so ago,
I walked by, I heard it and then I just
see people coming out of the.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Woodwork talking to other pieces.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
He was standing right here looking in the window at
you guys, like all right.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So it's like that energy matches yours. Oh man, I
can't believe it. I have uh you know, so Petro
supposed supposed to come on with us at five as well,
but he said to Bellio, I can't come on and
watch this guy interview it athlete with that that that
sort of like, you know, ten year old energy for
(01:40):
talking to athletes. He would say, But man, that guy,
that guy improved my life. I would say, by forty
fifty sixty percent. That's huge. That's huge to go back
to back, and the guy that made it possible, one
of the guys that made it possible certainly had a
major part in it, is going to be sitting right there.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's crazy because you usually when you come across people
like that that had those iconic moments and you have
the opportunity to meetium, especially in a business like this,
it's usually not right after it happened, right, Lack a
couple of years already retire. Yeah, right, you see Kirk
Gibson's roam in the halls. As amazing as that would be,
it's usually so much longer after the fact. But this
is like, this just happened, and he's like that, that's
(02:20):
why the whole building is a buzz exactly right.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
All right, let's go to another stud Another guy improves
my life forty percent. Michael Monks, how you, Bob?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Sorry, I didn't win the World Series for you, Conway.
I'm just down in the mean streets of LA.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
No, Well, if you had played a ball with your
dad a little longer as a kid, don't don't openes. Okay,
that didn't throw the ball around with you. I he
went out for a pack of cigarettes in eighteen eighty
six and we still haven't heard that a wrap on him. Huh,
all right, I get that, I get that, Monks. What's
going on with these protests, Bob, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
This was an interesting one. I mean, LA is no
stranger to protest related to federal immigration enforcement, but this
had a very youthful appeal. This is part of the
nationwide national shutdown they're calling it, and they don't want
people to go to work, they don't want people to
go to school, and they don't want people to buy
anything from large rations today. Instead, get out into the
(03:14):
streets and share your feelings against ice. And that's what
happened downtown today. By noon, there were hundreds of kids
on the steps of City Hall. And by one one
thirty there were thousands of people between City Hall and
Gloria Molina Park and they had completely shut down that
block of Spring Street.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I feel bad for these kids. You know, their community
has been somewhat torn apart, if not completely. And you
know the politicians that have told these people forever, for
you know, forty years, you know, buy a house, get
a job, have kids, use the schools, get insurance, all
that stuff. Nothing that ever happened to you, and that
(03:55):
all comes crumbling down because ultimately the Feds trump all
all of the local laws, and the local laws don't
mean anything.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And that's what we heard from a variety of people,
including a local elected official, councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, that who
I interviewed on the scene there asking I asked her, Look,
we knew what President Trump wanted to do. He campaigned
on this and he got a majority of the vote.
I mean, so you have to assume that half the
country was well aware of the President's intentions and they
(04:24):
wanted this to happen. But what people like the councilmen
and a lot of these protesters are saying is that
their take their ripping families apart, and when you get
into the specifics of that, does everyone who supported deportation
support that kind of deportation, and so you get into
the nuance of it, and plus Conway, I mean, tensions
are high right now because of the deadly shootings in Minneapolis,
(04:47):
two protesters killed. Of course those are under investigation, and
of course there are folks who are saying that the
federal agents were within their rights to do what they did.
There are others who say that those were unjust killings.
We had a an off duty agent kill a man
in Northridge on New Year's Day in the early hours
of celebrating the new year.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So that the New year he was firing a gun. Ah, Okay,
he left that out.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Well no, well, they're investigating it was he fired. The
family says, he's firing a gun in the sky, which
is illegal. You're not supposed to be doing that. That's
also not the federal agent's jurisdiction. So it's that's it's
all very hairy and weird. Intentions are just very high
about it anyway, and so folks took to the streets
today to say they want ice out of la That's
(05:34):
a familiar theme. But justice for these folks who were killed.
Was the newer element of the protest today. We hadn't
seen this type of protest in LA in several months.
There will be a protest tonight as well, and it's
the nighttime protests that we have to keep our eyes on.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is I'm watching it on TV right now, I'm watching
on on KTLA. Has it been mostly peaceful?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Entirely peaceful? Disruptive? Disruptive certainly. I mean they got in
the middle of road, and I don't know if this
was a permitted event, but they got in the middle
of Spring Street between Temple and First, a very busy street,
and they did it on a Friday afternoon, So in
that respect, disruptive, perhaps annoying for people trying to get
in or out of downtown Los Angeles on a busy Friday.
But it was mostly just standing there. I mean, there
(06:17):
really weren't even any speakers that you could hear. It
was just a huge swarm of people holding signs, chanting
a lot of derogatory names towards the president and that
sort of thing. But outside of that, no violence at
all whatsoever. It was just a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So no freeways shut down, yet no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I got a little worried at the beginning when they
said let's get to the street and that I thought
this thing was going to be a mobile protest, and
you never know what's going to happen with those, based
on what happened last summer. But this literally just went
right into that street, and that's where they stayed for
the entirety of the day. They filled up the steps
of City Hall, they filled up Gloria Molina Park, and
they filled up Spring Street between that. But again, I'll
(06:57):
remind you what I had just said. There is a
protest planned for tonight that's gonna be the interesting one.
I think Temple Street at seven o'clock. There's some plans
for some protest over the weekend in a monthy East
La Long Beach, Hawthorn. So whether those have the same
type of atmosphere as we saw this afternoon is yet
(07:18):
to be determined. It's the night time when we really
have to pay attention to because it draws a different crowd.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
How far are you from that that protest or how
far do you live from that protest?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How far is the KFI downtown headquarters.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Probably that's where you are a protest, but where? But
how about your your law off to the protests? Are
you gonna hear anything tonight or fires or sirens?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I live on Los Angeles Street. They will be at
the other end of my street about eight or so.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Are they really be on your street then yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Around that area Temple Street intersects with the Los Angeles Street.
It'll be probably close to that, all right, So you
got to make sure that you're in with the pizza
hut and uh and not TV on. I'm hoping that
it's peaceful because you know, the bosses will call me
out on a Friday night to get down there easy
gets Harry. So everybody say a prayer that it all
stays peaceful. Just myselfish so you can enjoy your Friday.
(08:11):
I want to hear that five o'clock interview with Miguel.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's right. Also, you know what, Look, this could have
happened last Friday on your birthday, and that would have
been a big balls up for you.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I would have been in Palm Springs and no one
would have heard a peep from me.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
That's right, buddy. Thank you for calling in, and if
there's any updates, we'll jump in with you. If you
get any cool information or anything happens.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'll be on standby.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, thanks man, All right, Michael Monks every Saturday eight
to ten pm right here on KFI. I'm sure he's
gonna be covering the protests tomorrow as well. Miguel Rojas
is gonna be sitting here at five o'clock, the guy
that tied it up for the Los Angeles Dodgers in
the ninth inning, and the guy who saved the game
(08:53):
in a ladder inning, I think the tenth inning here
and save the season, save the World Series. The most
humble man of the world world. He hadn't had a
home run in a month or two, or a hit,
and his only home run offer right handed batter, a
right handed pitcher all year, bottom of the ninth against
(09:14):
the Blue Jays. You look like you're floating right now.
Oh my gosh. This is I mean, this is like
meeting Kirk Gibson, you know, two weeks after the home
run in eighty eight. I've never met Kirk Gibson in
my life, and I got.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To go, it's pretty freaking equivalent.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Have you met Kirk Gibson, seen him? Not met him?
But yeah, I've never met that man, but Miguel Rojas
is going is And by the way, kudos to the
Dodgers who did him right and they offered him another
deal for five and a half million dollars. They could
have easily said, you know, thank you, great service, but
(09:52):
the Dodgers' first class organization gave the guy an extra
five and a half million dollars and he's going to
be on the Dodgers this year. Hats all off to
the Los Angeles Dodgers management for doing that. That is
a that is the most solid thing I think they've
ever done. Award reward that man for going for giving
you back to back World Series and they did they did,
(10:14):
which is great. That's why that stadium is packed one
hundred you know what is it? Eighty one hundred eighty
one games a year at least eighty one games and
then playoffs and preseason. That's why it's packed. Class, class,
class organization and back to back World Series champs.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Miguel Rojas Meggi Rojas as I call him. It's coming
on at five oh five. If people call him that
or is that you just did that? I think a
lot of people call him that, Maggie, Miggie, Meggi Rojans.
But I got a question for you, Krozer. You're you're
a guy, yeah, and you are to stephush and belly
(11:03):
of someone. But how long could I hugged a professional
athlete without it being gross? What's the count? Weird? Yeah?
Count of three, like three minutes, no second, no, no, no,
I'm gonna go with three minutes, three minutes.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
And then that's when it becomes weird.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I would, I would say, I would say in
the fourth minute it gets odd.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Four.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Well, we're gonna see pulls in. We're gonna see
how quickly he's pushing me off. Now I'm understanding what
Petro said. Even my interview is gonna be gross with him, Yeah,
I said.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I said to Petros, who's scheduled to be on with
this at five, I said, you could be you know,
there he goes, he goes.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I can't watch that he goes. I can't watch with
clean up. That's so great. You know what, though, I
think that my immaturity and my fascination with sports and athletes,
I'm like a young kid. Still, and let me tell
(12:09):
you old people something, okay, you old souls. There was
a an artist and I can't remember his name. I'll
come up with his name. But he was an abstract artist.
Wan Mirreau is his name. Oh, now you may remember,
you might know who he is. Wan Mirreau was an
abstract artist and he used to paint, and he used
(12:32):
to ask adults what that painting is when he was done.
And he would ask twenty adults what is that painting?
And the adults would say, Oh, it's a frog near
a tree. Oh, it's a giraffe in the forest. Oh,
it's a guy at a bank. Oh it's a guy
at a car show. You know, because it was just
the adults have so much in their mind that that
(12:54):
they can't pick up the simple things in life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, he did a lot of like abstract ors. What
I guess they called back them surrealism. Right, There's just
a lot of shapes and colors and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So he would yeah, exactly right, yeah, the circles and shapes.
And so he would ask twenty adults what is that painting?
And the twenty adults would would say all of them
would say something different. He would ask twenty kids what
it was, and they would all say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And so he painted for kids, not for kids, but
he painted so minds that are free and new and
immature and not cluttered with crap could pick up what
he's painting. Absolutely, So somebody asked him, They said, why
(13:40):
is that a talent that you're painting that you know
you're painting that twelve year olds know what you're painting.
Why is that a talent? He goes, well, it is
when you're sixty years old. And that was a that
was a mode. But I feel like my mind is
still like a third grader when it comes to sports.
I still and Kate's is the same way. Vassa is
(14:02):
the same way I can pick out every person on
this floor. That's the same way Matt money Smith is
somewhat by Petros's. That ship has sailed for Petros. I
can tell you. Colin Yee is exactly the same as
me and Kate's and Vassy who still get very excited
like we're in third grade again. I heard when he
(14:25):
was roaming around.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I heard, Yeah, it was just fascinating to hear people
that are in the building just he was standing right
here and I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
God, really, yeah, Mickey Rohan, And these are.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
People that had been in the industry, come across famous
people or notable people at any given time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, exactly, they're just kiddy da much like you. I
one of my favorite days here in the last sixteen years.
Thank you, Thank you very much. Soon, congratulations you, thank you.
I appreciate that. One of my favorite days was I
stayed late to watch the World Series back in twenty
twenty four with Kate's and Colin and I remember who
(15:01):
else was there, but we watched it right next door
in the studio and that's when the Dodgers scored five
under and runs against the Yankees then went on to
win the World Series, and the craziness, it was like
being in third grade again, where they you know, they
roll the TV set in and they show the playoffs.
Because when I was in you know, sixth seventh grade
(15:22):
and the Dodgers were in the playoffs on the geeky kids,
thank you, would have to go into into like the
all Purpose room where they set up one TV set
and wheeled it in and all the guys who weren't
getting chicks in seventh grade were in that room. I
was in that room with every one of my friends,
every one of my friends, and watching, you know, the
(15:44):
Dodgers play the Cubs in the playoffs, because those were
only al these day games. And I know guys Steve
was Anne, who's a very good friend of mine, is
exactly the same way. He is a guy who gets excited.
Robbie Fox, Mike Tennessey, Todd Crown, Billy Ray, Robbie Glance.
I can name you all of the guys that I
grew up with that still get very excited. Jeff Lowey's
(16:06):
another one, Scott Blum, that get very excited still when
they watch Steve Myers. Another one who watched these games,
Eric Sklark, the producer of the John colel Show. They
these guys are all like me, where they get really
overly excited when the Dodgers or the Rams, or Lakers
or the Kings win a championship. It's a big deal.
(16:28):
It's a huge deal. It's very hard to do. And
when your team does it, maybe you're from Chicago, you know,
maybe from New York or Cleveland or Detroit, and you
remember where you were when the Cubs won it, or
the Lions Lions, and a good example the Tigers when
the Tigers won the championship, or the Red Wings or
the Cavaliers or you know, the New York Knicks. Whatever,
(16:49):
you remember where you were with your dad or your
grandfather because you shared all those years of total loser
osity with your dad or your grandfather when you're team lost,
especially in Game seven of the World Series or the Championship,
and when you win, it's a big deal. It's a huge,
huge deal. And guys like me, you know what I'm
(17:12):
talking about. Maybe you're one of us. You're you're you're
as excited to know that Miguel Rojas is coming in
here as I am, and that's great.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
All right, I am six forty. It's Conway Show. Nothing
happening in La other than protests everywhere, So the streets
of downtown Los Angeles will be a mess for a while.
The freeways are not closed, so people are behaving, which
is great. But there's also protests in Santa Anna as well.
That is the big story in southern California. The second
(17:49):
big story is Miguel Rojas is coming on. If you
want to hear what that home run sounded like in
November of last year, I'll pay the picture for you.
The guy pitching is a guy named Hoffman, and he's
a right hander. Mceul Rojas is up. He has not
had a home run all year against the right hander.
(18:11):
There's one out. It's a three to two pitch in
the bottom of the ninth Dodgers three, Toronto four. If
Toronto gets two more outs, they win the World Series
for the first time. And I don't know billion years
or less summer like that. And here is uh the call.
I think Joe Davis is making the call.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Here, pay y'all, drill, don't the field, indeed, go.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
No way.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Miguel Rojas. Dave Roberts played his gun. The guy haven't
had a hand in a month.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Wow, earn.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
In the ninth thurn and of Game seven, he hid
a time home run.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That's unbelievable. Unbelievable, But I love Joe Davis. After the
ball clears the fans, you could almost hear him stand
up and go no way, like, you know, how did
this guy do this?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Pay off? Drill don'le field in deep goo?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
No why? I mean that sounds like I was at
bad Like if I was at bat and hit a
home run in the bottom of the ninth, maybe Joe
Davis would say that. No way, But that's Miguel Ross
and he's coming in at five o'clock. Oh you mentioned
that at all? All right, so we'll do that at five.
Tell your friends and family and coworkers, especially if they're
(19:51):
big Dodger fans. I just text a lot of people,
including Amy King, who I think might be the biggest
Dodger fan in this building, or at least on KFI.
She has has had seasoned seats forever. She does the
wake up call right before Bill Handle comes on, and
so I text a bunch of people. But that's a
(20:13):
big deal, big big deal. Millennia the movie. A lot
of people going to see that tonight. That opens tonight.
Let's hit this. I think this is the documentary, but
I think this is the trailer. Is this a trailer
in Washington last night? Okay, there's this story about it. Okay,
then we also have the trailer. But the movie Milania
comes out and opens tonight and AMC has it all
(20:39):
over the place. Amazon paid for it. I think it's
forty dollars and distributed all over the country, and it's
getting mixed reviews. People who are Republican conservative love it,
and people who are Democrats and hate Trump, well, they
hate it. Who would the.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Guest in Washington last night a red carpet premiere for
First Lady Milania Trump's documentary Beautiful.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
It's an emotional it's a fashion a book.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
He's cinemattie and I'm very crouch.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I think it's a very important type covie.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I think it's really going to be very important. It
shows life in the White House. It's a big deal. Actually.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
The film Millennia, which covers the twenty days leading up
to her husband's twenty twenty five inauguration, debuted at the
Kennedy Center. It opens in more than fifteen hundred theaters today.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I don't know if the pilot, I don't know if
the trailer is indicative of the opening of the movie.
But the first part of the trailer, she looks in
the camera and she goes, here we go again, And
then they show one hundred thousand pictures of the lead
up to the inauguration of Donald Trump. The second one,
(21:52):
here we go Again. Yeah, there it is here we
Go Again.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Here we Go Again.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
But even before hitting the.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Big screen, there's a great scene in it where he
has some big press conference that the whole world is watching,
and he calls Milani and goes, hey, did you watch it?
And she's like, nah, catch it on the news. She's
He's like, yeah, I didn't. I got other things going on.
I'll see it on the news like everybody else.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
But even before hitting the big screen, the project raising questions,
many asking why Amazon, which produced the film, paid a
combined seventy five million dollars to produce and market the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, they paid forty million dollars to produce the movie
in thirty five million dollars to promote it. Here we
Go Again, Here we Go Again, with.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Twenty eight million dollars reportedly being paid directly to the
First Lady.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Does many people estimate this is actually seeking favorism with
the Trump administration by Amazon and Jeff Bezos. That's how
you do it in this country. You know, when people
complain that rich people are getting their way, go get
rich and you can get your way. That's what That's
how this country rolls. It's never it's never been a mystery.
It's always been so upfront. That's how this country moves.
(23:02):
The wealthy people get what they want, and you want
what you want, go get wealthy.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Here we go again.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Here we go again, and Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
The film, which now ranks among the most expensive documentaries
ever made, is expected to bring in just five million
dollars this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, I hate to say it, but that's not
even Trump change.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
The director Brett Wattner, also under scrutiny in his first
film since being accused of sexual assault by multiple women,
accusations he denies. As for what's in the documentary, we
don't know yet. That's because, in an unusual move, the
film was not shown to any critics ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Here we go Again. Yep, Ding dong, Here we go again.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Amazon would ask for comment about promoting the movie, said quote,
we licensed the film for one reason, because we think
customers are going to love it. And President Trump said
the first lady, accepting that money is no different than
President Obama getting paid for similar projects.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
That's probably true.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
There we go again.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, exactly. All right, We're gonna take a break. When
we come back. At five five, Miguel Rojas is coming in.
He's the guy who hit the home run for the
Los Angeles Dodgers to tie the game in the bottom
of the ninth with one out, full count, to tie
the game and send it into extra endings for your
Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Pay off drill dolet field in deepd go.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't know if it's just the the the heat
of the moment and how much that meant everybody, but
that ball hitting that bat sounded different from almost any
home run I've ever heard in my life. Listen to
it again, just a bat hitting the ball. Pay off drill,
Now that sounds more important than past home runs.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Drill to left field in deep.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I also love the guy in the stands that caught
the ball. He catches it and he puts his hand
up like I got it. And then he puts his
hand Oh that's right, we're in Toronto. This is not
good for us, and he quickly puts his hand down.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We have protest going on downtown LA and it's supposed
to get bigger and bigger and bigger as the evening
goes on. So if anything, if the streets closed down
or freeways closed down or I think gets out of hand.
We will have that for you here live on KFI
AM sixty. We have the Olympics coming up. The Olympics
(25:43):
opening day is a week from today, I think, isn't it?
Is that right? One week from today is the opening
day of the Olympics. An NBC, which I think always
has the Olympics, is going to be covered them. And NBC,
I believe, has the super Bowl February sixth. Okay, so
(26:05):
it Friday is the opening day for the Olympics and
then two days later is the super Bowl. How are
they going to pull that off? How do they have
enough directors and producers and cameramen they can pull that off?
That will be a challenge, a challenge, But what great
cross promotion that is? Huh? You know to have the
(26:26):
super Bowl on with nine trillion people watching and then
go right into the Olympics, Like right after the super
Bowl's done, they'll have some kind of an Olympic special.
I don't know what time it'll be in Italy. Probably
won't be any live events going on, but there'll be
a recap and what to look forward to. And so
(26:47):
I don't know. Maybe it's a tremendous advantage to have
the Olympics and the and the Super Bowl on the
same weekend. So that's gonna be a big TV weekend
for you next week. So I went to Costco last night,
the one in Los Felis, and I was looking at
these beautiful TVs, you know, these now eight K TVs
(27:10):
with you know, the beautiful Chris picture. I mean, it's
just so much better than the crap that I have
it at home. But my TV is only like three
or four years old. And when I got it, it
was top end, high end, top of the line. It's
like nine hundred and fifty bucks. Now that same set
Walmart three hundred bucks. So to get the new ones,
(27:33):
the new sets. But I wonder if you had and
I always ask my wife this, and we sort of
are about fifty to fifty if we had a beautiful
eight K television. Oh now, there's some mischief going on downtown.
Let's turn on channel seven. There's stephush. Oh, he's not
in there, all right. Let me pick it up here, Krozer,
(27:54):
can you bring up seven in there? Let me see
if I can get it in here.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
There's some crap being uh just out of Little Tokyo
downtown Los Angeles near the Federal building. And as you
can see how you go being thrown. People are angry.
We don't know what's being said, what brought this on,
but we want to bring these images to you because
this is live in.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Air SIVENCS protest getting out of hand.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
It's beginning to happen at the Federal detention facility right
there in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That's about a.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Block away from the Long Night Federal Building. As we
pull out, you can see the size of this protest,
This crowd and this javana may have been that protest
that was marching through Los Angeles from downtown to East
LA and then back. Perhaps this is where they ended up,
but we're trying to gather more information.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
They're throwing all kinds of food and objects at the
officers around.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That building, thousands of people in the downtown in.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The security guards around the building.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Towards East LA and then turned back around to the
downtown LA area. This group of people may be you
have been taken part in that earlier protest.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You guys all have gas masks too, so they're ready
for a long night.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
There's confrontation underway there. It looks like there's a whole
lot of debris.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No fires yet, but that's it's interesting to watch.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's hard to tell what percentage, but it's a fairly
good percentage of those people, especially the ones wearing the
gas masks, are journalists, you know, they're all just taking
pictures video. It almost looks like half of the people
that are there, and there's a lot of people throwing
stuff at the building.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, all right, let's go to Channel five here, they've
got it now. Gil Lavis is down there. Oh it's
the police with shields. That's I couldn't see who they're
throwing crap at, but it's the cops down there, LAPD.
It looks like or federal.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
And the federal agents had it that they came out.
They opened up the big sliding doors here and pushed
the crowd out about halfway back to the sidewalk. But
if since retreated, you could see more items being tossed
at those federal agents as they come out. To a
wider shot. You see the large group here. It's gotten
a little bit bigger because I marked the group that
was marching through East LA and Boyle Heights. Some of
(30:02):
them have made their way over here, but again the
building's tag and the protesters have moved right up to
the doors of the Metro Detention Center and the police here,
the federal police have a been fighting back. That's the
latest overhead of the Sky five. I'll send it back
to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Okay, I see what's going on. I see it now.
There's a there's a bunch of people with Blue Jay
jerseys on. They're protesting Miguel Rojas coming on KO five.
I get that, okay, all right. I didn't quite figure
it out until I just saw that last picture on KTLA.
All right, now, we got it, all right, all right.
So hate to say this, but I've been living in
(30:39):
LA for decade after decade after decade, and I am
very familiar with how these things start. This is going
to be a long night in downtown LA. There's going
to be cops, probably federal officers. I imagine ICE will
get involved. I don't know if the National Guard's going
to be called in and the Mayor's going to go
(31:01):
on live she'll asks for calm. The President will have
another excuse to bring in more officers and This is
how it started last time, and the time before that,
and before that, before that, before that. This is how
it always starts. And so it is probably going to
be a long evening for people in the news, people
(31:23):
on the station, and people in downtown because this is
how it all begins. All right. When we come back,
we're gonna talk to Migul Rojas and we'll also keep
an eye on what's going on downtown Los Angeles. And
I know it's tough to do both, but we're gonna
try to tackle it. All right. We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
(31:47):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM at
six forty. It's Conway Show. It is Friday, before we
get into all the protests in downtown LA also in
Santa Anna. I'm sorry, I have to say that we
(00:25):
have a special guest coming on at five o'clock. Miguel
Rojas with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the guy that hit
the home run in the bottom of the ninth to
tie up the game against the Blue Jays and then
save the game in the next inning by throwing the
ball to Smith to get the guy coming home. And
he's coming, and he's gonna be sitting right there. My
(00:48):
favorite human being that includes family, friends, coworkers, anybody I've
ever met my life, it's now him.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It is so funny to hear you say that, because
when I when he was getting a tour around the
building here a couple hours ago or hours so ago,
I walked by, I heard it and then I just
see people coming out of the.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Woodwork talking to other pieces.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
He was standing right here looking in the window at
you guys, like all right.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So it's like that energy matches yours. Oh man, I
can't believe it. I have uh you know, so Petro
supposed supposed to come on with us at five as well,
but he said to Bellio, I can't come on and
watch this guy interview it athlete with that that that
sort of like, you know, ten year old energy for
(01:40):
talking to athletes. He would say, But man, that guy,
that guy improved my life. I would say, by forty
fifty sixty percent. That's huge. That's huge to go back
to back, and the guy that made it possible, one
of the guys that made it possible certainly had a
major part in it, is going to be sitting right there.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's crazy because you usually when you come across people
like that that had those iconic moments and you have
the opportunity to meetium, especially in a business like this,
it's usually not right after it happened, right, Lack a
couple of years already retire. Yeah, right, you see Kirk
Gibson's roam in the halls. As amazing as that would be,
it's usually so much longer after the fact. But this
is like, this just happened, and he's like that, that's
(02:20):
why the whole building is a buzz exactly right.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
All right, let's go to another stud Another guy improves
my life forty percent. Michael Monks, how you, Bob?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Sorry, I didn't win the World Series for you, Conway.
I'm just down in the mean streets of LA.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
No, Well, if you had played a ball with your
dad a little longer as a kid, don't don't openes. Okay,
that didn't throw the ball around with you. I he
went out for a pack of cigarettes in eighteen eighty
six and we still haven't heard that a wrap on him. Huh,
all right, I get that, I get that, Monks. What's
going on with these protests, Bob, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
This was an interesting one. I mean, LA is no
stranger to protest related to federal immigration enforcement, but this
had a very youthful appeal. This is part of the
nationwide national shutdown they're calling it, and they don't want
people to go to work, they don't want people to
go to school, and they don't want people to buy
anything from large rations today. Instead, get out into the
(03:14):
streets and share your feelings against ice. And that's what
happened downtown today. By noon, there were hundreds of kids
on the steps of City Hall. And by one one
thirty there were thousands of people between City Hall and
Gloria Molina Park and they had completely shut down that
block of Spring Street.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I feel bad for these kids. You know, their community
has been somewhat torn apart, if not completely. And you
know the politicians that have told these people forever, for
you know, forty years, you know, buy a house, get
a job, have kids, use the schools, get insurance, all
that stuff. Nothing that ever happened to you, and that
(03:55):
all comes crumbling down because ultimately the Feds trump all
all of the local laws, and the local laws don't
mean anything.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And that's what we heard from a variety of people,
including a local elected official, councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, that who
I interviewed on the scene there asking I asked her, Look,
we knew what President Trump wanted to do. He campaigned
on this and he got a majority of the vote.
I mean, so you have to assume that half the
country was well aware of the President's intentions and they
(04:24):
wanted this to happen. But what people like the councilmen
and a lot of these protesters are saying is that
their take their ripping families apart, and when you get
into the specifics of that, does everyone who supported deportation
support that kind of deportation, and so you get into
the nuance of it, and plus Conway, I mean, tensions
are high right now because of the deadly shootings in Minneapolis,
(04:47):
two protesters killed. Of course those are under investigation, and
of course there are folks who are saying that the
federal agents were within their rights to do what they did.
There are others who say that those were unjust killings.
We had a an off duty agent kill a man
in Northridge on New Year's Day in the early hours
of celebrating the new year.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So that the New year he was firing a gun. Ah, Okay,
he left that out.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Well no, well, they're investigating it was he fired. The
family says, he's firing a gun in the sky, which
is illegal. You're not supposed to be doing that. That's
also not the federal agent's jurisdiction. So it's that's it's
all very hairy and weird. Intentions are just very high
about it anyway, and so folks took to the streets
today to say they want ice out of la That's
(05:34):
a familiar theme. But justice for these folks who were killed.
Was the newer element of the protest today. We hadn't
seen this type of protest in LA in several months.
There will be a protest tonight as well, and it's
the nighttime protests that we have to keep our eyes on.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is I'm watching it on TV right now, I'm watching
on on KTLA. Has it been mostly peaceful?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Entirely peaceful? Disruptive? Disruptive certainly. I mean they got in
the middle of road, and I don't know if this
was a permitted event, but they got in the middle
of Spring Street between Temple and First, a very busy street,
and they did it on a Friday afternoon, So in
that respect, disruptive, perhaps annoying for people trying to get
in or out of downtown Los Angeles on a busy Friday.
But it was mostly just standing there. I mean, there
(06:17):
really weren't even any speakers that you could hear. It
was just a huge swarm of people holding signs, chanting
a lot of derogatory names towards the president and that
sort of thing. But outside of that, no violence at
all whatsoever. It was just a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So no freeways shut down, yet no, not at all.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I got a little worried at the beginning when they
said let's get to the street and that I thought
this thing was going to be a mobile protest, and
you never know what's going to happen with those, based
on what happened last summer. But this literally just went
right into that street, and that's where they stayed for
the entirety of the day. They filled up the steps
of City Hall, they filled up Gloria Molina Park, and
they filled up Spring Street between that. But again, I'll
(06:57):
remind you what I had just said. There is a
protest planned for tonight that's gonna be the interesting one.
I think Temple Street at seven o'clock. There's some plans
for some protest over the weekend in a monthy East
La Long Beach, Hawthorn. So whether those have the same
type of atmosphere as we saw this afternoon is yet
(07:18):
to be determined. It's the night time when we really
have to pay attention to because it draws a different crowd.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
How far are you from that that protest or how
far do you live from that protest?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How far is the KFI downtown headquarters.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Probably that's where you are a protest, but where? But
how about your your law off to the protests? Are
you gonna hear anything tonight or fires or sirens?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I live on Los Angeles Street. They will be at
the other end of my street about eight or so.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Are they really be on your street then yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Around that area Temple Street intersects with the Los Angeles Street.
It'll be probably close to that, all right, So you
got to make sure that you're in with the pizza
hut and uh and not TV on. I'm hoping that
it's peaceful because you know, the bosses will call me
out on a Friday night to get down there easy
gets Harry. So everybody say a prayer that it all
stays peaceful. Just myselfish so you can enjoy your Friday.
(08:11):
I want to hear that five o'clock interview with Miguel.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's right. Also, you know what, Look, this could have
happened last Friday on your birthday, and that would have
been a big balls up for you.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I would have been in Palm Springs and no one
would have heard a peep from me.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
That's right, buddy. Thank you for calling in, and if
there's any updates, we'll jump in with you. If you
get any cool information or anything happens.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'll be on standby.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Okay, thanks man, All right, Michael Monks every Saturday eight
to ten pm right here on KFI. I'm sure he's
gonna be covering the protests tomorrow as well. Miguel Rojas
is gonna be sitting here at five o'clock, the guy
that tied it up for the Los Angeles Dodgers in
the ninth inning, and the guy who saved the game
(08:53):
in a ladder inning, I think the tenth inning here
and save the season, save the World Series. The most
humble man of the world world. He hadn't had a
home run in a month or two, or a hit,
and his only home run offer right handed batter, a
right handed pitcher all year, bottom of the ninth against
(09:14):
the Blue Jays. You look like you're floating right now.
Oh my gosh. This is I mean, this is like
meeting Kirk Gibson, you know, two weeks after the home
run in eighty eight. I've never met Kirk Gibson in
my life, and I got.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To go, it's pretty freaking equivalent.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Have you met Kirk Gibson, seen him? Not met him?
But yeah, I've never met that man, but Miguel Rojas
is going is And by the way, kudos to the
Dodgers who did him right and they offered him another
deal for five and a half million dollars. They could
have easily said, you know, thank you, great service, but
(09:52):
the Dodgers' first class organization gave the guy an extra
five and a half million dollars and he's going to
be on the Dodgers this year. Hats all off to
the Los Angeles Dodgers management for doing that. That is
a that is the most solid thing I think they've
ever done. Award reward that man for going for giving
you back to back World Series and they did they did,
(10:14):
which is great. That's why that stadium is packed one
hundred you know what is it? Eighty one hundred eighty
one games a year at least eighty one games and
then playoffs and preseason. That's why it's packed. Class, class,
class organization and back to back World Series champs.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Miguel Rojas Meggi Rojas as I call him. It's coming
on at five oh five. If people call him that
or is that you just did that? I think a
lot of people call him that, Maggie, Miggie, Meggi Rojans.
But I got a question for you, Krozer. You're you're
a guy, yeah, and you are to stephush and belly
(11:03):
of someone. But how long could I hugged a professional
athlete without it being gross? What's the count? Weird? Yeah?
Count of three, like three minutes, no second, no, no, no,
I'm gonna go with three minutes, three minutes.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
And then that's when it becomes weird.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I would, I would say, I would say in
the fourth minute it gets odd.
Speaker 8 (11:28):
Four.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Well, we're gonna see pulls in. We're gonna see
how quickly he's pushing me off. Now I'm understanding what
Petro said. Even my interview is gonna be gross with him, Yeah,
I said.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
I said to Petros, who's scheduled to be on with
this at five, I said, you could be you know,
there he goes, he goes.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I can't watch that he goes. I can't watch with
clean up. That's so great. You know what, though, I
think that my immaturity and my fascination with sports and athletes,
I'm like a young kid. Still, and let me tell
(12:09):
you old people something, okay, you old souls. There was
a an artist and I can't remember his name. I'll
come up with his name. But he was an abstract artist.
Wan Mirreau is his name. Oh, now you may remember,
you might know who he is. Wan Mirreau was an
abstract artist and he used to paint, and he used
(12:32):
to ask adults what that painting is when he was done.
And he would ask twenty adults what is that painting?
And the adults would say, Oh, it's a frog near
a tree. Oh, it's a giraffe in the forest. Oh,
it's a guy at a bank. Oh it's a guy
at a car show. You know, because it was just
the adults have so much in their mind that that
(12:54):
they can't pick up the simple things in life.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah, he did a lot of like abstract ors. What
I guess they called back them surrealism. Right, There's just
a lot of shapes and colors and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
So he would yeah, exactly right, yeah, the circles and shapes.
And so he would ask twenty adults what is that painting?
And the twenty adults would would say all of them
would say something different. He would ask twenty kids what
it was, and they would all say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Mm.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And so he painted for kids, not for kids, but
he painted so minds that are free and new and
immature and not cluttered with crap could pick up what
he's painting. Absolutely, So somebody asked him, They said, why
(13:40):
is that a talent that you're painting that you know
you're painting that twelve year olds know what you're painting.
Why is that a talent? He goes, well, it is
when you're sixty years old. And that was a that
was a mode. But I feel like my mind is
still like a third grader when it comes to sports.
I still and Kate's is the same way. Vassa is
(14:02):
the same way I can pick out every person on
this floor. That's the same way Matt money Smith is
somewhat by Petros's. That ship has sailed for Petros. I
can tell you. Colin Yee is exactly the same as
me and Kate's and Vassy who still get very excited
like we're in third grade again. I heard when he
(14:25):
was roaming around.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I heard, Yeah, it was just fascinating to hear people
that are in the building just he was standing right
here and I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
God, really, yeah, Mickey Rohan, And these are.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
People that had been in the industry, come across famous
people or notable people at any given time.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, exactly, they're just kiddy da much like you. I
one of my favorite days here in the last sixteen years.
Thank you, Thank you very much. Soon, congratulations you, thank you.
I appreciate that. One of my favorite days was I
stayed late to watch the World Series back in twenty
twenty four with Kate's and Colin and I remember who
(15:01):
else was there, but we watched it right next door
in the studio and that's when the Dodgers scored five
under and runs against the Yankees then went on to
win the World Series, and the craziness, it was like
being in third grade again, where they you know, they
roll the TV set in and they show the playoffs.
Because when I was in you know, sixth seventh grade
(15:22):
and the Dodgers were in the playoffs on the geeky kids,
thank you, would have to go into into like the
all Purpose room where they set up one TV set
and wheeled it in and all the guys who weren't
getting chicks in seventh grade were in that room. I
was in that room with every one of my friends,
every one of my friends, and watching, you know, the
(15:44):
Dodgers play the Cubs in the playoffs, because those were
only al these day games. And I know guys Steve
was Anne, who's a very good friend of mine, is
exactly the same way. He is a guy who gets excited.
Robbie Fox, Mike Tennessey, Todd Crown, Billy Ray, Robbie Glance.
I can name you all of the guys that I
grew up with that still get very excited. Jeff Lowey's
(16:06):
another one, Scott Blum, that get very excited still when
they watch Steve Myers. Another one who watched these games,
Eric Sklark, the producer of the John colel Show. They
these guys are all like me, where they get really
overly excited when the Dodgers or the Rams, or Lakers
or the Kings win a championship. It's a big deal.
(16:28):
It's a huge deal. It's very hard to do. And
when your team does it, maybe you're from Chicago, you know,
maybe from New York or Cleveland or Detroit, and you
remember where you were when the Cubs won it, or
the Lions Lions, and a good example the Tigers when
the Tigers won the championship, or the Red Wings or
the Cavaliers or you know, the New York Knicks. Whatever,
(16:49):
you remember where you were with your dad or your
grandfather because you shared all those years of total loser
osity with your dad or your grandfather when you're team lost,
especially in Game seven of the World Series or the Championship,
and when you win, it's a big deal. It's a huge,
huge deal. And guys like me, you know what I'm
(17:12):
talking about. Maybe you're one of us. You're you're you're
as excited to know that Miguel Rojas is coming in
here as I am, and that's great.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
All right, I am six forty. It's Conway Show. Nothing
happening in La other than protests everywhere, So the streets
of downtown Los Angeles will be a mess for a while.
The freeways are not closed, so people are behaving, which
is great. But there's also protests in Santa Anna as well.
That is the big story in southern California. The second
(17:49):
big story is Miguel Rojas is coming on. If you
want to hear what that home run sounded like in
November of last year, I'll pay the picture for you.
The guy pitching is a guy named Hoffman, and he's
a right hander. Mceul Rojas is up. He has not
had a home run all year against the right hander.
(18:11):
There's one out. It's a three to two pitch in
the bottom of the ninth Dodgers three, Toronto four. If
Toronto gets two more outs, they win the World Series
for the first time. And I don't know billion years
or less summer like that. And here is uh the call.
I think Joe Davis is making the call.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Here, pay y'all, drill, don't the field, indeed, go.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
No way.
Speaker 9 (18:42):
Miguel Rojas. Dave Roberts played his gun. The guy haven't
had a hand in a month.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Wow, earn.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
In the ninth thurn and of Game seven, he hid
a time home run.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
That's unbelievable. Unbelievable, But I love Joe Davis. After the
ball clears the fans, you could almost hear him stand
up and go no way, like, you know, how did
this guy do this?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Pay off? Drill don'le field in deep goo?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
No why? I mean that sounds like I was at
bad Like if I was at bat and hit a
home run in the bottom of the ninth, maybe Joe
Davis would say that. No way, But that's Miguel Ross
and he's coming in at five o'clock. Oh you mentioned
that at all? All right, so we'll do that at five.
Tell your friends and family and coworkers, especially if they're
(19:51):
big Dodger fans. I just text a lot of people,
including Amy King, who I think might be the biggest
Dodger fan in this building, or at least on KFI.
She has has had seasoned seats forever. She does the
wake up call right before Bill Handle comes on, and
so I text a bunch of people. But that's a
(20:13):
big deal, big big deal. Millennia the movie. A lot
of people going to see that tonight. That opens tonight.
Let's hit this. I think this is the documentary, but
I think this is the trailer. Is this a trailer
in Washington last night? Okay, there's this story about it. Okay,
then we also have the trailer. But the movie Milania
comes out and opens tonight and AMC has it all
(20:39):
over the place. Amazon paid for it. I think it's
forty dollars and distributed all over the country, and it's
getting mixed reviews. People who are Republican conservative love it,
and people who are Democrats and hate Trump, well, they
hate it. Who would the.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Guest in Washington last night a red carpet premiere for
First Lady Milania Trump's documentary Beautiful.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
It's an emotional it's a fashion a book.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
He's cinemattie and I'm very crouch.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I think it's a very important type covie.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I think it's really going to be very important. It
shows life in the White House. It's a big deal. Actually.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
The film Millennia, which covers the twenty days leading up
to her husband's twenty twenty five inauguration, debuted at the
Kennedy Center. It opens in more than fifteen hundred theaters today.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I don't know if the pilot, I don't know if
the trailer is indicative of the opening of the movie.
But the first part of the trailer, she looks in
the camera and she goes, here we go again, And
then they show one hundred thousand pictures of the lead
up to the inauguration of Donald Trump. The second one,
(21:52):
here we go Again. Yeah, there it is here we
Go Again.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Here we Go Again.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
But even before hitting the.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Big screen, there's a great scene in it where he
has some big press conference that the whole world is watching,
and he calls Milani and goes, hey, did you watch it?
And she's like, nah, catch it on the news. She's
He's like, yeah, I didn't. I got other things going on.
I'll see it on the news like everybody else.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
But even before hitting the big screen, the project raising questions,
many asking why Amazon, which produced the film, paid a
combined seventy five million dollars to produce and market the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, they paid forty million dollars to produce the movie
in thirty five million dollars to promote it. Here we
Go Again, Here we Go Again, with.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Twenty eight million dollars reportedly being paid directly to the
First Lady.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Does many people estimate this is actually seeking favorism with
the Trump administration by Amazon and Jeff Bezos. That's how
you do it in this country. You know, when people
complain that rich people are getting their way, go get
rich and you can get your way. That's what That's
how this country rolls. It's never it's never been a mystery.
It's always been so upfront. That's how this country moves.
(23:02):
The wealthy people get what they want, and you want
what you want, go get wealthy.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Here we go again.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Here we go again, and Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
The film, which now ranks among the most expensive documentaries
ever made, is expected to bring in just five million
dollars this weekend.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean, I hate to say it, but that's not
even Trump change.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
The director Brett Wattner, also under scrutiny in his first
film since being accused of sexual assault by multiple women,
accusations he denies. As for what's in the documentary, we
don't know yet. That's because, in an unusual move, the
film was not shown to any critics ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Here we go Again. Yep, Ding dong, Here we go again.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
Amazon would ask for comment about promoting the movie, said quote,
we licensed the film for one reason, because we think
customers are going to love it. And President Trump said
the first lady, accepting that money is no different than
President Obama getting paid for similar projects.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
That's probably true.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
There we go again.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, exactly. All right, We're gonna take a break. When
we come back. At five five, Miguel Rojas is coming in.
He's the guy who hit the home run for the
Los Angeles Dodgers to tie the game in the bottom
of the ninth with one out, full count, to tie
the game and send it into extra endings for your
Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Pay off drill dolet field in deepd go.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't know if it's just the the the heat
of the moment and how much that meant everybody, but
that ball hitting that bat sounded different from almost any
home run I've ever heard in my life. Listen to
it again, just a bat hitting the ball. Pay off drill,
Now that sounds more important than past home runs.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Drill to left field in deep.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I also love the guy in the stands that caught
the ball. He catches it and he puts his hand
up like I got it. And then he puts his
hand Oh that's right, we're in Toronto. This is not
good for us, and he quickly puts his hand down.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
We have protest going on downtown LA and it's supposed
to get bigger and bigger and bigger as the evening
goes on. So if anything, if the streets closed down
or freeways closed down or I think gets out of hand.
We will have that for you here live on KFI
AM sixty. We have the Olympics coming up. The Olympics
(25:43):
opening day is a week from today, I think, isn't it?
Is that right? One week from today is the opening
day of the Olympics. An NBC, which I think always
has the Olympics, is going to be covered them. And NBC,
I believe, has the super Bowl February sixth. Okay, so
(26:05):
it Friday is the opening day for the Olympics and
then two days later is the super Bowl. How are
they going to pull that off? How do they have
enough directors and producers and cameramen they can pull that off?
That will be a challenge, a challenge, But what great
cross promotion that is? Huh? You know to have the
(26:26):
super Bowl on with nine trillion people watching and then
go right into the Olympics, Like right after the super
Bowl's done, they'll have some kind of an Olympic special.
I don't know what time it'll be in Italy. Probably
won't be any live events going on, but there'll be
a recap and what to look forward to. And so
(26:47):
I don't know. Maybe it's a tremendous advantage to have
the Olympics and the and the Super Bowl on the
same weekend. So that's gonna be a big TV weekend
for you next week. So I went to Costco last night,
the one in Los Felis, and I was looking at
these beautiful TVs, you know, these now eight K TVs
(27:10):
with you know, the beautiful Chris picture. I mean, it's
just so much better than the crap that I have
it at home. But my TV is only like three
or four years old. And when I got it, it
was top end, high end, top of the line. It's
like nine hundred and fifty bucks. Now that same set
Walmart three hundred bucks. So to get the new ones,
(27:33):
the new sets. But I wonder if you had and
I always ask my wife this, and we sort of
are about fifty to fifty if we had a beautiful
eight K television. Oh now, there's some mischief going on downtown.
Let's turn on channel seven. There's stephush. Oh, he's not
in there, all right. Let me pick it up here, Krozer,
(27:54):
can you bring up seven in there? Let me see
if I can get it in here.
Speaker 10 (27:57):
There's some crap being uh just out of Little Tokyo
downtown Los Angeles near the Federal building. And as you
can see how you go being thrown. People are angry.
We don't know what's being said, what brought this on,
but we want to bring these images to you because
this is live in.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Air SIVENCS protest getting out of hand.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
It's beginning to happen at the Federal detention facility right
there in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
That's about a.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
Block away from the Long Night Federal Building. As we
pull out, you can see the size of this protest,
This crowd and this javana may have been that protest
that was marching through Los Angeles from downtown to East
LA and then back. Perhaps this is where they ended up,
but we're trying to gather more information.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
They're throwing all kinds of food and objects at the
officers around.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
That building, thousands of people in the downtown in.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The security guards around the building.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
Towards East LA and then turned back around to the
downtown LA area. This group of people may be you
have been taken part in that earlier protest.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You guys all have gas masks too, so they're ready
for a long night.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
There's confrontation underway there. It looks like there's a whole
lot of debris.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No fires yet, but that's it's interesting to watch.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's hard to tell what percentage, but it's a fairly
good percentage of those people, especially the ones wearing the
gas masks, are journalists, you know, they're all just taking
pictures video. It almost looks like half of the people
that are there, and there's a lot of people throwing
stuff at the building.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, all right, let's go to Channel five here, they've
got it now. Gil Lavis is down there. Oh it's
the police with shields. That's I couldn't see who they're
throwing crap at, but it's the cops down there, LAPD.
It looks like or federal.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
And the federal agents had it that they came out.
They opened up the big sliding doors here and pushed
the crowd out about halfway back to the sidewalk. But
if since retreated, you could see more items being tossed
at those federal agents as they come out. To a
wider shot. You see the large group here. It's gotten
a little bit bigger because I marked the group that
was marching through East LA and Boyle Heights. Some of
(30:02):
them have made their way over here, but again the
building's tag and the protesters have moved right up to
the doors of the Metro Detention Center and the police here,
the federal police have a been fighting back. That's the
latest overhead of the Sky five. I'll send it back
to you in the studio.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Okay, I see what's going on. I see it now.
There's a there's a bunch of people with Blue Jay
jerseys on. They're protesting Miguel Rojas coming on KO five.
I get that, okay, all right. I didn't quite figure
it out until I just saw that last picture on KTLA.
All right, now, we got it, all right, all right.
So hate to say this, but I've been living in
(30:39):
LA for decade after decade after decade, and I am
very familiar with how these things start. This is going
to be a long night in downtown LA. There's going
to be cops, probably federal officers. I imagine ICE will
get involved. I don't know if the National Guard's going
to be called in and the Mayor's going to go
(31:01):
on live she'll asks for calm. The President will have
another excuse to bring in more officers and This is
how it started last time, and the time before that,
and before that, before that, before that. This is how
it always starts. And so it is probably going to
be a long evening for people in the news, people
(31:23):
on the station, and people in downtown because this is
how it all begins. All right. When we come back,
we're gonna talk to Migul Rojas and we'll also keep
an eye on what's going on downtown Los Angeles. And
I know it's tough to do both, but we're gonna
try to tackle it. All right. We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
(31:47):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
