Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio appf
I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We are in day six, I believe, right Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Day six of the unrest. Some call it riots, some
call it nothing at all. Some people say there's no
violence at all downtown. I think it's right in the middle.
I don't know, somewhere in the middle between a full
blown riot and zero of violence downtown. But we have
(00:32):
the US Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill A.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sales with US. Bill. How you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm doing okay, Tim, How are you doing, Buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I can't believe you started where you had very little
to do and now you're the most the busiest guy
in America.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We have been very busy. We've been busy since Friday.
We set up a command post. We're running twenty four
to seven here and we are working hard. We have
two missions. One is we are are still enforcing immigration law.
We have immigration enforcement operations that are proceeding uninhibited. Our
mission will not be deterred. And now we have a
new mission, which is to bring order back to the region.
(01:13):
And we are charging people left and right who are
out there committing violent acts against police officers and destruction
of property.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, I heard you today, I talk today.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And some of these guys, you know, the third strikers,
who are looking at the typical twenty five to year,
twenty five years of life. But these people, these other people,
this is their first offense and they're still looking at
three to six years in stay prison.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You're the charges I talked about today.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh the charge, I'm sorry, the charge of the DA
Hawkman today, but you know some of the local charges.
They're serious about going after these guys.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah they should, although you know, California prison sentence doesn't
necessarily mean what you think it means. They let them
out quickly with all the credits and stuff they got going.
They're emptying the prisons, which is why we're trying to
bring as many cases as we can. And federally, we
don't do that good time halftime nonsense they do in California.
You serve eighty percent of your sentence, usually in federal prison.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And how do you decide or how does Hawkman decide
or who decides on whether it's local you know, city attorney,
DA or state or federal.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean the limit for US is we have
to have federal jurisdiction, so we have to have a
federal statute. So obviously, if you salt a federal agent,
that's going to be federal. Normally, if you just assault
a local police officer, we don't have jurisdiction. However, there's
a little statute that's not usually used where in a
time of civil disobedience such as now, assaults on local
(02:39):
police officers can be charged, and we have been charging them.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So the if you're down there, you know, rioting or
you know, involved in the unrest, hands off the Marines
and the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh yeah, well for many reasons. Yeah, I would not
be picking of marines, right, yeah, and no, we're going
after that. We're going after the looters. There's something called
the Hobzact robbery. We can charge that federally. We can
charge the arson federally like they were when they were
burning the Tesla cars. We saw some federal cases brought.
(03:15):
And we're charging these smallotov cocktails which are really dangerous
that are being hurled at the police officers we charge
two people today.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You know this must drive you crazy, because it drives
me crazy. And I'm not as involved as you are.
But when I watch local news, they never ever mention
the criminals that get deported. All they mentioned is the
guy that got swept up at the car wash and
he's been here for ten years and hasn't done anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's part of their narrative. I will tell you
the overwhelming majority of the legal immigrants that are being
picked up and targeted are criminal aliens. We have people
with arrest warrants, you have people with final deportation orders,
you have people with criminal histories. But I think, as
mister Holman has said, no one's off limits. There is
some people are They think there's actually sanctuary in California.
(04:02):
There really isn't. There is no such things. Federal law
is supreme. Immigration laws do apply in the state of California,
and they are being enforced right now as you can speak.
And I will tell you because of the events, because
of the riots, the President is not backing down. He's
doubling down, and you're going to see more immigration enforcement
operations now than I think we're originally planned.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't think enough of the blame for this has
been put on the politicians who have lied to these
immigrants for forty and fifty years, saying, come to America,
use the schools, use the hospitals. We'll give you benefits,
we'll help you out, we'll help you find rent, we'll
give you a cell phone, and we'll put you in
a in a state or a county or a city,
(04:43):
and you'll have asylum. It'll be you know, risk free.
And it was all lies, lies, lies.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, and you know it is a little said. I mean,
I don't blame some of the migrants. I do the
same thing about it in their position. It's those elected
officials who fail to enforce our laws. Opened the borders,
brought in millions of people, and created this environment in
which the president really has no choice. He campaigned on this,
he said he's going to enforce the law, and unfortunately,
when so many people came in unlawfully, the only option
(05:12):
is to enforce immigration and have removals. That's the only
way to deal with this situation. And I think the
other site thought, well, if we just get enough people
in here somehow, you know, we'll just integrate them, it'll
be too hard to remove them. I don't know what
they thought, but that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You know, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'd love to ask these some of the people downtown LA.
And you know, if you're in your twenties early twenties,
I understand you just do stupid crap.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I've done that.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But if you're in your thirties or forties, I'd like
to ask all of them, you know, where were you
and what was your reaction when Barack Obama deported two
point five to four million people a year and ask
him what their reaction was it the same reaction, and
if it was, I don't remember seeing it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, no, they so was a double standard and the
narrative for them because often I shouldn't put my political
hat on. I'm not in that business anymore. But often
it's not about the issue they're yelling about. It's just
about it's a subtribuge for them to get more power
into hold on to power. But you know what I
want to attend these people riding on the streets and
looting all this stuff. Do these people not work? Because
(06:16):
it's very expensive to live out here, and these people
seem to not have a job. It is day after
day they come out and they're looting, they're burning, their vandalizing,
and they seem like they got nothing else.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Better to do.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, are you know what?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't know how long you've been in LA, but
that's been going on for one hundred years. You know,
if you go to a mall in Beverly Hills, you
go to the Beverly Center, or perhaps you know the
Westfield in Century City or Tarzana Woodland Hills, it's packed
on a Tuesday at two pm.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Packed.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But if you go to Cleveland, Detroit, or you know,
or Pittsburgh, you go to a mall at two o'clock
in the afternoon, nobody's there.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, I'd like to know what these people do for money.
It's quite interesting, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
By the way, Jimmy Kimmel and Maxiine Waters, those are
the only two I've seen so far said that our
eyes are lying to us.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
There is no violence downtown in La.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well they got you know, I heard the same thing
from the governor and which said, I don't know what's
going on with the winery, but he's got to turn
on the local TV and just see what was happened Friday, Saturday,
before the National Guard arrived. We had our courthouse overrun,
and I think we do think the LAPD they didn't
come and show up and help us defend that courthouse
Friday night. It was a really ugly scene. And then
(07:31):
we were overrun basically in Paramount on Saturday, which Saturday,
just so everyone knows, that was not a rain. We
were staging. We have an Ice office there in Paramount.
They were staging for their operations to go out and
pick up some really bad illegal aliens, and these activists,
these agitators show up and surrounded them, and we were
in a We were in a we were in a
dogfight there for several hours. The Boarder Patrol did an
(07:54):
amazing job holding the line, holding the crowd back timp
They used so much gas and pepper spray and pepperball.
They were going to run out. They said, were twenty
minutes from running out, and we flew them Blackhawk helicopters
in the middle of that to resupply them. They were
not going to back down.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know, I think there's a bigger picture. I know
we got to take a break here, but I think
there's a bigger picture.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I like to look at, you know, instead of like
the minute details here, I like to look at the overall,
bigger picture and find out why these riots are going
on all of the United States.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I think it's more.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I think it's it's socialism versus democracy. I think this,
you know, with Karen Bass and her nine trips when
she was younger to Cuba and celebrate Castro. I think
that there's a mentality in the United States and there's
a small, maybe not a small fraction of faction, but
there is a group of people that don't want to
(08:45):
see democracy, don't want to see you know, capitalism, and
they want to tear it down.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, I think you're right. I think they're Marxists or socialists,
whatever you want to call them. But they're trying to
undermine and destroy our country from the inside. And they're
using these tactics to show division and undermined. And you know,
it's funny. These are the people saying, you know, yelling
about interaction and how assaults and officers, you know, are
the biggest crime in the world. And now it's like
they don't care, no big deal, nothing to see here.
(09:12):
It just tells you who these people are unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'll let you get back to work. I know
you're busy, but I really appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Man, Absolutely, we will restore order. Don't you worry.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Thanks, Bill said, he's the US attorney. Thanks you, sir,
US attorney for the Central District of California. And between
him and Hawkman, I tell you you got to really
think about touching any of these cops downtown La.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Man, it could really screw your life up.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You can spend three to six years in state prison
and that is a wrap on. You can't come out,
can't get a job, your friends change, your family looks
down on you. It's a lot of things change, a
lot of things change for one stupid move.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
John Decker is our White House correspondent for iHeartMedia and
he is with us.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
John.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know it's a slow couple of months in Washington.
Anything going on there, right.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Just another slow day, Another slow day in Washington.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Hey, did you travel with Day? Is so interesting? I'm
sorry to the president. Did you travel with him to
North Carolina and Fort Bragg?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I was not on that trip. No, that was not
my day in the rotation. I traveled with him on
his one. The most recent trip I took with him
was one hundredth day trip, one hundred day of his presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That was to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
And I'll be traveling in just a few weeks to
the Netherlands with the President for the NATO summit, So
looking forward to that coming up in just a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did anybody and including yourself, see the massive Elon Musk
donald Trump fight brewing before it actually exploded?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well, yes, I mean if you were reading his social
media posts, you knew that Donald Trump doesn't leave these
things left unsaid or unresponded to. And I finally had
an opportunity as the first person who had an opportunity
to ask the President about Elon Musk his opposition to
the Big Beautiful Bill, and that was in the Oval
(11:15):
Office last Thursday, and he gave me a ten minute
long answer. It was remarkable, ten minute long answer. It
was something I'd never saw him do before, and I've
interviewed him dozens of times, as you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, I think I remember seeing that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was a very long answer, and he said that
Elon Musk knew more about that the big beautiful Bill
than anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
That's right. Yes, that's what he claims. And I don't know,
I don't know the inner workings of their relationship, but
he said he was very disappointed in Elon. All of
this led apparently to an apology phone call from Elon
Musk which came last night and the President. I don't
know if he lets bygones be bygones right away, but
(12:01):
you know, he's the kind of guy, Tim that typically
can look past transgressions by people. I mean, the perfect
example of that, Tim is Mark Rubio, the Secretary of
Think about the terrible things that Mark Rubio and Donald
Trump said each other back in twenty sixteen, and now,
of course Mark Rubio is the Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, I mean, if he thinks you have something to
offer him or you can help him out, he's he's
welcoming you back.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Oh absolutely. And I've seen that, you know, play itself
out so many times. So look, can Elon Musk and
Donald Trump patch things up? Absolutely? I say, you know,
just in the same way. Think about a few months ago,
that big blow up in the Oval office between Zelensky
and Trump. Now they're talking to each other. You know,
(12:49):
they get along well with each other, and people thought
that that relationship could not be repaired.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, it is odd, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
John Digger's with us, the White House correspondent. There's no
there's not gonna be any slow down in the ice raids.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Is that what we hear.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
That's what we hear. And the reason being is because
an edict has been delivered by the Deputy Chief of
Staff Steven Miller to round up three thousand individuals who
are in the country illegally every day, and that rule
will require a lot of roundups all over the country
(13:26):
by ice. So no, that's not going away anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I also heard from an insider that the FBI historically
has never been involved in immigration, but now they're spending
forty percent of their time in that area or in
that field.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, you know, I don't have any information that would
tell me otherwise. I do know that this is a
big focus of President Trump of his administration, border security,
illegal immigration, and it does take up time from various agencies,
not the FBI. So all does whoever told you that
(14:03):
would not surprise me if that's the case.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Okay, And Lastly, because I know you're very busy man,
this this I'm looking forward to this parade to see
if the streets make it this Saturday.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Well, I don't know if you know this. If forty
million dollars plus that's the cost of the parade, fifteen
million dollars of that cost actually has to do with
repairing the streets of Washington, DC after hundreds of tanks
roll down Constitution Avenues. So I'm very curious to see
what those streets look like after so many tanks roll
(14:35):
down Constitution Avenue. At fifteen million dollars, Wow, that's a
lot of money to set aside for road repair.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, And John, I know you're in the know,
but you may you may be hearing this for the
first time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I have jumped ahead and I looked at the weather
and they're looking at rain and thunderstorms starting at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
No that is that's not good because you know, there's
supposed to be from six thirty pm until you know,
it gets dark outside an aerial show in Washington, DC,
and that would certainly spoil that. So hopefully that forecast
changes and it's a day like we're experiencing today. We
have a beautiful day here in Washington, relatively low humidity, sunny.
(15:19):
It would be perfect if this was the kind of
day that they had on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Are you going to have a front row seat for
this army parade on Saturday?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You know, ordinarily I would. I love a military parade.
I've been to the parade that happens on Bastiel Day
in Paris twice and it was a big thrill experiencing that.
But I'm not going to be in town this weekend,
so I'm going to miss this year's military parade. But
I'll make it a point to be here for the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh that's gonna be great. Yeah, So that'll be great
July fourth of next year. But I really appreciate coming on.
I know you're a very busy man.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I was loudst minute notice, So I really appreciate you
coming on and spending some time.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
With us and Conway. Anything for you time for your show.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Absolutely thanks, Johnny, appreciate him all right.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
John Decker, White House correspondent with iHeartMedia and the only
thing I do whenever I talked to him. Is kicked
myself in the ass because we could have been using
him on the show for the last ten years and
I was just like given.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Word recently that he was available to us. That guy's great.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
He's in the Oval Office every day in the White House,
every single day, every day.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Through you know, four or five administrations. Unbelievable. So he's
not with the Associated Press.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, not until they change into the Gulf of the
United States, Gulf of America. All right, we're going to
keep an eye on this curfew again tonight eight pm.
So you have yourself three hours and twenty nine minutes,
three hours and twenty nine minutes to get the hell
out of that box. The one, ten to five and
the ten freeway got to get out of the box
(16:59):
by eight o'clock or else you're subjected to a rest.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty to continue monitoring downtown Los Angeles for
any kind of craziness.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And the curfew goes in at eight o'clock tonight from
eight I think until six am tomorrow morning. So you
have three hours and twenty one minutes until eight o'clock
and then you got to get the hell out of
that box. The five Freeway, the one ten and the
ten Freeway. You gotta get out, all right, Michael monkss
what it's.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Hi, you Bob.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I got to get downtown, man, they're going to close
it down, and I got to get there before you
shut it down.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But you have a license that says you live there.
I got.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
I got two ways in. I've got the I'm a
resident and I'm credential press. So oh I might just
run in and out all night. You know, this is
so typical of La. Your credential press, you live there
or you work there, and you get in and out privileges, right, yes,
and if you're homeless, the unhoused as they call them,
get to stay. Yeah, they get privileges that I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
They do. Hey, they move them off my block? Wow? Yeah?
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
While I was away in Carmel last week, I came
back and the tents were gone.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh that's great. Yeah yeah, not the not a yelling
all night that's gone away. Well, I mean it's a blockover.
I do live a block and an hour from skid Row,
but they're not outside my car. You know, when you
told me you got a great story about twins. I'm like, oh,
this is great, but I don't think it's a story
that I think is Hey, no, no, this is not
late night viewing in the basement at Conway's house.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This is actual twins. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I believe we mentioned this briefly yesterday, but just by
way of an update, there was a council aid, someone
who works on economic development in the office of Councilwoman
Isabelle Herrondo. She was arrested and a very serious charge,
not just defying the dispersal order. Wait, her assistant, one
of the aids. Yeah, and her twin sister. And this
woman's twin sister does not work in office, but and
(19:00):
they have more political connections.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It doesn't end there.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So they they one of them is accused at least
of assault with a deadly weapon against a police officer.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Is that the AID or the sister the aid? Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Boy, so she's on unpaid leave right now. Keep in mind,
this councilman is the one who drew some headlines late
in the campaign last year for saying.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
After the police, the police. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
And so these girl, these women, I should say, they're
twenty six, they're twins. And their dad is Rick Cole
and that name may be familiar people around southern California.
He's he was the mayor of Pasadena and he served
as city administrator or city manager and ASUSA Santa Monica
Nura been around a long time and is back on
the Pasadena City Council currently and is like the number
(19:44):
two guy at the LA City Controller's office.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And that's their dad. That's their dad. Wow. How embarrassing
is that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
He's a bit of an activist too, from back in
his heyday if you read up on him, he had
a lot of problems while in Pasadena with the any
honoring of Christopher Columbus for example, right and threat and
like the board of the demographic makeup of the board
of the of the Rose Bowl Committee and that sort
of thing. So they come from a line of activists.
(20:10):
But I don't know that he ever engaged in any
alleged violence like this, because that's a serious charge.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, So the assistant to the councilwoman, she's been charged
and she's still incarcerated.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
As far as we know. She is being held on
like fifty thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But you would think that family has that they probably do,
so you may have got but they have two of them,
and I don't know what the other bond did. I
wonder if you have twins that are locked up for
assaulting police officers, I wonder, as the dad, if you
could just pull out your favorite and leave you and
leave the other twin in there?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Could you tell? I don't I think you guys? As
the dad, I think you could. Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
But but here this is interesting because it makes sense too,
because if you work for somebody who say, f the police,
you've got to be on board with that.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Like if I worked you know, like Brian Long, if
he was the program, he was the programmed right here,
if he was running around going after the police all day,
I'm like, oh, I gotta get involved with that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, I gotta you're gonna go assault aole offe.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I gotta jump on board. Yeah, I work with him.
We don't know exactly what she did.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
The details are a little murky right now, but we
do know that on Sunday when she was taken into Cussy.
This was during some of that chaos that we saw
in the overpass involving the dumping of it's embarrassed of
scooters and that sort of thing. Bricks off the off
the overpass to the CHP below. Very scary, all right.
Then the other story you're covering is the crash that
we all saw. I saw it today on TV like
a nine different angles where there was a white sedan
(21:32):
and it was cut off by an suv and a truck.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And what's that all about? Is there more than meets
the eye?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
It was very compelling videos, especially with tensions and feelings
the way they are in the community.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's involved exactly.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So we see video of a car, a passenger vehicle
like you said, driving through Boyle Heights just downside of downtown,
and then two big vehicles come on both sides of
it and stop it. And the guy who's driving, he's
handcuffed by these obvious federal agents that have jumped down.
A woman gets out of the passenger seat with a
child in her arms. It's all very dramatic stuff to watch.
(22:04):
And you know, if you're thinking, oh man, these these
ice guys, they are coming for everyone. What was this
guy doing, right? Was he just a car wash guy? Well,
I know they're gone after the car wash today. We
saw them in the farms in Ventura County. So people
are very concerned. But this turned out to be something
different if you asked the Department of Homeland Security, Oh
there's more too, Oh there was more to this according
to them. You know, so you know, we have to
(22:24):
hear both sides, and there will be at five o'clock.
I believe some activists in support of this guy who
was detained, they're having a press conference, you know, to
talk about what a good guy he is. But the
Department of Homeland Security responded that this was a targeted
arrest of a violent rioter who punched a border patrol officer.
And when Homeland Security investigations tried to arrest Christian Damien
(22:45):
Sarno Camacho for the assault, he attempted to flee and
he was ultimately arrested and taken into custody. Wow, Macho, Camacho, Yeah,
one quick one before you throw me out of here.
If you are going to beat up a cop during
these things, don't make it a federal you will make
it federal. And also, don't be here illegally and just wait.
(23:05):
An undocumented immigrant to illegal immigrant who lives in LA
was charged a day with a felony for allegedly spitting
on a federal agent executing a warrant for his arrest.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Early, what are people thinking, you know, wyking it worse?
Why would you even go down there if you didn't
have papers making it worse.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I'm glad the tens are off your street, buddy. Yeah,
we'll see what comes of this week. I'll tell you
I kind of like this curfew. If I'm a editorialize,
I kind of like this curfew, buddy. I'm I'm it's quiet.
You're about six months away from wearing that MAGA hat.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
I got a haircut, got a nail trim, just one,
just one.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
You didn't get any like no one gave you, like
a radio from sea crane or you know, I don't know,

Speaker 7 (25:12):

Speaker 8 (25:13):

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Oh, cherry Coke, I like that.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
You know it's coming up at that time of the
year where I have my my annual cherry Coke.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's right, that's right, all right, Well, welcome back, little Boddy,
miss thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
All right, Angel Martinez is back. All right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
We're not gonna, you know, we're gonna certainly monitor what's
going downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But it looks like it's quiet. Looks like it's quiet
down there right now.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So I gonna spend the entire day talking about that
little part of LA. I will say, though, that Waimo
has made a decision about sending cars downtown to get
burned out, and guess what the decision is.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
They're not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
I have the Waimo app right in front of me
right now, and any request in or out of downtown
Los Angeles is met with a no service in the area.
Notice all this great protests continue into a fourth day.
People looking for a ride in downtown Los Angeles won't
be getting into a way moat anytime soon. Wow, a
request pickup or drop off is met with I can't
(26:12):
get to that spot right now. Notice as the driverless
car company announced it was suspending service in the area
after five v vehicles were set on fire during Sunday's
ice protests. Our KTLA crew on the ground captured the
moment it all went down.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
They are standing here on Los Angeles. What we've been
hearing is that some of these agitators have been using
some sort of accelerant, possibly spray paint, working to light
that and that's how they've been able to get these
on fire.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I was watching the I'm going to call it the riots,
you know, just because I enjoyed that term. But I
was watching the riots last night. It was on all
the news stations and I can't believe how many people
not only ignored the curfew but are still live on
camera doing graffiti. It was astonishing. There were like five
(27:02):
or six sets of different kids still spray painting buildings
in downtown LA in the middle of a curfewed zone.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And I'm thinking, wow, man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Either they don't know there's a curfew or they said
screw it, We're just gonna do it anyway. But once
this is over, and this will end, you know, everyone
will go home eventually or go to jail, but they'll
go somewhere else eventually. And you take a ride downtown LA,
I think you're going to be shocked how much damage
there is from graffiti. There's buses, there's benches. Every one
(27:37):
of these vans, these news vans that went downtown LA
to cover this, every one of them was graffiti. Every
single one of them has to be repainted or rewrapped.
And they didn't leave anybody out, even the Spanish stations
they got worked as well. Everybody got worked. But here's
I saw this today and I couldn't believe it. You know,
(27:58):
their last year, I think there were there were forty
three or forty four thousand homicides, I think the highest
in Mexico. And since twenty fifteen, the national homicide rate
has increased by seventy six percent to a total of
two hundred eleven thousand homicides over a seven year period.
(28:22):
And if you just go, you know, year by year
in Mexico, forty two thousand last year, forty two thousand
before that, then thirty five thousand, and thirty six thousand,
thirty five thousand, and it goes on to two hundred
and twelve, two hundred eleven thousand murders, two eleven thousand. Okay,
So the Mexican soccer team is in town from Mexico,
(28:46):
and they said, we've got to change hotels because they
were staying downtown LA and it was too dangerous for them.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
How insulting is that?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Did we invite that team from Mexico to come up
here and play soccer? We put them in a hotel
and they're like a little dangerous, Can you move us around?
And so they've moved. They're not in downtown and downtown
LA anymore. They moved to Long Beach. So Long Beach,
who has everything under control, is going to be the
(29:20):
benefactor of all this they're gonna get more business. They're
gonna get more people to the restaurants, more people go shopping.
People are not gonna go downtown LA. They're going to
Long Beach. What man if I was Long Beach, I'd
put out a press release saying, hey, we got everything
under control.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Come enjoy Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Long Beach, California's beautiful, absolutely spectacular town. And then that
whole area there, Belmont Shore into Seal Beach. Oh, they
got it going on. They got it going on in
that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
We're covering all of everything going on downtown LA, and
you have it's two minutes of five o'clock, so you
have three hours and two minutes to get out of
downtown LA where you're going to be arrested and you
don't want that. 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
(30:13):
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio appf
I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We are in day six, I believe, right Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Day six of the unrest. Some call it riots, some
call it nothing at all. Some people say there's no
violence at all downtown. I think it's right in the middle.
I don't know, somewhere in the middle between a full
blown riot and zero of violence downtown. But we have
(00:32):
the US Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill A.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Sales with US. Bill. How you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I'm doing okay, Tim, How are you doing, Buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I can't believe you started where you had very little
to do and now you're the most the busiest guy
in America.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
We have been very busy. We've been busy since Friday.
We set up a command post. We're running twenty four
to seven here and we are working hard. We have
two missions. One is we are are still enforcing immigration law.
We have immigration enforcement operations that are proceeding uninhibited. Our
mission will not be deterred. And now we have a
new mission, which is to bring order back to the region.
(01:13):
And we are charging people left and right who are
out there committing violent acts against police officers and destruction
of property.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, I heard you today, I talk today.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
And some of these guys, you know, the third strikers,
who are looking at the typical twenty five to year,
twenty five years of life. But these people, these other people,
this is their first offense and they're still looking at
three to six years in stay prison.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You're the charges I talked about today.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Oh the charge, I'm sorry, the charge of the DA
Hawkman today, but you know some of the local charges.
They're serious about going after these guys.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah they should, although you know, California prison sentence doesn't
necessarily mean what you think it means. They let them
out quickly with all the credits and stuff they got going.
They're emptying the prisons, which is why we're trying to
bring as many cases as we can. And federally, we
don't do that good time halftime nonsense they do in California.
You serve eighty percent of your sentence, usually in federal prison.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And how do you decide or how does Hawkman decide
or who decides on whether it's local you know, city attorney,
DA or state or federal.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean the limit for US is we have
to have federal jurisdiction, so we have to have a
federal statute. So obviously, if you salt a federal agent,
that's going to be federal. Normally, if you just assault
a local police officer, we don't have jurisdiction. However, there's
a little statute that's not usually used where in a
time of civil disobedience such as now, assaults on local
(02:39):
police officers can be charged, and we have been charging them.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So the if you're down there, you know, rioting or
you know, involved in the unrest, hands off the Marines
and the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh yeah, well for many reasons. Yeah, I would not
be picking of marines, right, yeah, and no, we're going
after that. We're going after the looters. There's something called
the Hobzact robbery. We can charge that federally. We can
charge the arson federally like they were when they were
burning the Tesla cars. We saw some federal cases brought.
(03:15):
And we're charging these smallotov cocktails which are really dangerous
that are being hurled at the police officers we charge
two people today.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You know this must drive you crazy, because it drives
me crazy. And I'm not as involved as you are.
But when I watch local news, they never ever mention
the criminals that get deported. All they mentioned is the
guy that got swept up at the car wash and
he's been here for ten years and hasn't done anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, that's part of their narrative. I will tell you
the overwhelming majority of the legal immigrants that are being
picked up and targeted are criminal aliens. We have people
with arrest warrants, you have people with final deportation orders,
you have people with criminal histories. But I think, as
mister Holman has said, no one's off limits. There is
some people are They think there's actually sanctuary in California.
(04:02):
There really isn't. There is no such things. Federal law
is supreme. Immigration laws do apply in the state of California,
and they are being enforced right now as you can speak.
And I will tell you because of the events, because
of the riots, the President is not backing down. He's
doubling down, and you're going to see more immigration enforcement
operations now than I think we're originally planned.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You know that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't think enough of the blame for this has
been put on the politicians who have lied to these
immigrants for forty and fifty years, saying, come to America,
use the schools, use the hospitals. We'll give you benefits,
we'll help you out, we'll help you find rent, we'll
give you a cell phone, and we'll put you in
a in a state or a county or a city,
(04:43):
and you'll have asylum. It'll be you know, risk free.
And it was all lies, lies, lies.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah, and you know it is a little said. I mean,
I don't blame some of the migrants. I do the
same thing about it in their position. It's those elected
officials who fail to enforce our laws. Opened the borders,
brought in millions of people, and created this environment in
which the president really has no choice. He campaigned on this,
he said he's going to enforce the law, and unfortunately,
when so many people came in unlawfully, the only option
(05:12):
is to enforce immigration and have removals. That's the only
way to deal with this situation. And I think the
other site thought, well, if we just get enough people
in here somehow, you know, we'll just integrate them, it'll
be too hard to remove them. I don't know what
they thought, but that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You know, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'd love to ask these some of the people downtown LA.
And you know, if you're in your twenties early twenties,
I understand you just do stupid crap.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I've done that.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But if you're in your thirties or forties, I'd like
to ask all of them, you know, where were you
and what was your reaction when Barack Obama deported two
point five to four million people a year and ask
him what their reaction was it the same reaction, and
if it was, I don't remember seeing it.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, no, they so was a double standard and the
narrative for them because often I shouldn't put my political
hat on. I'm not in that business anymore. But often
it's not about the issue they're yelling about. It's just
about it's a subtribuge for them to get more power
into hold on to power. But you know what I
want to attend these people riding on the streets and
looting all this stuff. Do these people not work? Because
(06:16):
it's very expensive to live out here, and these people
seem to not have a job. It is day after
day they come out and they're looting, they're burning, their vandalizing,
and they seem like they got nothing else.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Better to do.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, are you know what?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I don't know how long you've been in LA, but
that's been going on for one hundred years. You know,
if you go to a mall in Beverly Hills, you
go to the Beverly Center, or perhaps you know the
Westfield in Century City or Tarzana Woodland Hills, it's packed
on a Tuesday at two pm.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Packed.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But if you go to Cleveland, Detroit, or you know,
or Pittsburgh, you go to a mall at two o'clock
in the afternoon, nobody's there.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, I'd like to know what these people do for money.
It's quite interesting, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
By the way, Jimmy Kimmel and Maxiine Waters, those are
the only two I've seen so far said that our
eyes are lying to us.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
There is no violence downtown in La.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well they got you know, I heard the same thing
from the governor and which said, I don't know what's
going on with the winery, but he's got to turn
on the local TV and just see what was happened Friday, Saturday,
before the National Guard arrived. We had our courthouse overrun,
and I think we do think the LAPD they didn't
come and show up and help us defend that courthouse
Friday night. It was a really ugly scene. And then
(07:31):
we were overrun basically in Paramount on Saturday, which Saturday,
just so everyone knows, that was not a rain. We
were staging. We have an Ice office there in Paramount.
They were staging for their operations to go out and
pick up some really bad illegal aliens, and these activists,
these agitators show up and surrounded them, and we were
in a We were in a we were in a
dogfight there for several hours. The Boarder Patrol did an
(07:54):
amazing job holding the line, holding the crowd back timp
They used so much gas and pepper spray and pepperball.
They were going to run out. They said, were twenty
minutes from running out, and we flew them Blackhawk helicopters
in the middle of that to resupply them. They were
not going to back down.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know, I think there's a bigger picture. I know
we got to take a break here, but I think
there's a bigger picture.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I like to look at, you know, instead of like
the minute details here, I like to look at the overall,
bigger picture and find out why these riots are going
on all of the United States.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And I think it's more.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I think it's it's socialism versus democracy. I think this,
you know, with Karen Bass and her nine trips when
she was younger to Cuba and celebrate Castro. I think
that there's a mentality in the United States and there's
a small, maybe not a small fraction of faction, but
there is a group of people that don't want to
(08:45):
see democracy, don't want to see you know, capitalism, and
they want to tear it down.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, I think you're right. I think they're Marxists or socialists,
whatever you want to call them. But they're trying to
undermine and destroy our country from the inside. And they're
using these tactics to show division and undermined. And you know,
it's funny. These are the people saying, you know, yelling
about interaction and how assaults and officers, you know, are
the biggest crime in the world. And now it's like
they don't care, no big deal, nothing to see here.
(09:12):
It just tells you who these people are unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'll let you get back to work. I know
you're busy, but I really appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Man, Absolutely, we will restore order. Don't you worry.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Thanks, Bill said, he's the US attorney. Thanks you, sir,
US attorney for the Central District of California. And between
him and Hawkman, I tell you you got to really
think about touching any of these cops downtown La.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Man, it could really screw your life up.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
You can spend three to six years in state prison
and that is a wrap on. You can't come out,
can't get a job, your friends change, your family looks
down on you. It's a lot of things change, a
lot of things change for one stupid move.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
John Decker is our White House correspondent for iHeartMedia and
he is with us.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
John.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I know it's a slow couple of months in Washington.
Anything going on there, right.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Just another slow day, Another slow day in Washington.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Hey, did you travel with Day? Is so interesting? I'm
sorry to the president. Did you travel with him to
North Carolina and Fort Bragg?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I was not on that trip. No, that was not
my day in the rotation. I traveled with him on
his one. The most recent trip I took with him
was one hundredth day trip, one hundred day of his presidency.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That was to Michigan.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
And I'll be traveling in just a few weeks to
the Netherlands with the President for the NATO summit, So
looking forward to that coming up in just a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Did anybody and including yourself, see the massive Elon Musk
donald Trump fight brewing before it actually exploded?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Well, yes, I mean if you were reading his social
media posts, you knew that Donald Trump doesn't leave these
things left unsaid or unresponded to. And I finally had
an opportunity as the first person who had an opportunity
to ask the President about Elon Musk his opposition to
the Big Beautiful Bill, and that was in the Oval
(11:15):
Office last Thursday, and he gave me a ten minute
long answer. It was remarkable, ten minute long answer. It
was something I'd never saw him do before, and I've
interviewed him dozens of times, as you know.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, I think I remember seeing that.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It was a very long answer, and he said that
Elon Musk knew more about that the big beautiful Bill
than anybody.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
That's right. Yes, that's what he claims. And I don't know,
I don't know the inner workings of their relationship, but
he said he was very disappointed in Elon. All of
this led apparently to an apology phone call from Elon
Musk which came last night and the President. I don't
know if he lets bygones be bygones right away, but
(12:01):
you know, he's the kind of guy, Tim that typically
can look past transgressions by people. I mean, the perfect
example of that, Tim is Mark Rubio, the Secretary of
Think about the terrible things that Mark Rubio and Donald
Trump said each other back in twenty sixteen, and now,
of course Mark Rubio is the Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, I mean, if he thinks you have something to
offer him or you can help him out, he's he's
welcoming you back.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Oh absolutely. And I've seen that, you know, play itself
out so many times. So look, can Elon Musk and
Donald Trump patch things up? Absolutely? I say, you know,
just in the same way. Think about a few months ago,
that big blow up in the Oval office between Zelensky
and Trump. Now they're talking to each other. You know,
(12:49):
they get along well with each other, and people thought
that that relationship could not be repaired.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, it is odd, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
John Digger's with us, the White House correspondent. There's no
there's not gonna be any slow down in the ice raids.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Is that what we hear.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
That's what we hear. And the reason being is because
an edict has been delivered by the Deputy Chief of
Staff Steven Miller to round up three thousand individuals who
are in the country illegally every day, and that rule
will require a lot of roundups all over the country
(13:26):
by ice. So no, that's not going away anytime soon.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I also heard from an insider that the FBI historically
has never been involved in immigration, but now they're spending
forty percent of their time in that area or in
that field.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Well, you know, I don't have any information that would
tell me otherwise. I do know that this is a
big focus of President Trump of his administration, border security,
illegal immigration, and it does take up time from various agencies,
not the FBI. So all does whoever told you that
(14:03):
would not surprise me if that's the case.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Okay, And Lastly, because I know you're very busy man,
this this I'm looking forward to this parade to see
if the streets make it this Saturday.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Well, I don't know if you know this. If forty
million dollars plus that's the cost of the parade, fifteen
million dollars of that cost actually has to do with
repairing the streets of Washington, DC after hundreds of tanks
roll down Constitution Avenues. So I'm very curious to see
what those streets look like after so many tanks roll
(14:35):
down Constitution Avenue. At fifteen million dollars, Wow, that's a
lot of money to set aside for road repair.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
All right, And John, I know you're in the know,
but you may you may be hearing this for the
first time.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I have jumped ahead and I looked at the weather
and they're looking at rain and thunderstorms starting at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
No that is that's not good because you know, there's
supposed to be from six thirty pm until you know,
it gets dark outside an aerial show in Washington, DC,
and that would certainly spoil that. So hopefully that forecast
changes and it's a day like we're experiencing today. We
have a beautiful day here in Washington, relatively low humidity, sunny.
(15:19):
It would be perfect if this was the kind of
day that they had on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Are you going to have a front row seat for
this army parade on Saturday?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You know, ordinarily I would. I love a military parade.
I've been to the parade that happens on Bastiel Day
in Paris twice and it was a big thrill experiencing that.
But I'm not going to be in town this weekend,
so I'm going to miss this year's military parade. But
I'll make it a point to be here for the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh that's gonna be great. Yeah, So that'll be great
July fourth of next year. But I really appreciate coming on.
I know you're a very busy man.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I was loudst minute notice, So I really appreciate you
coming on and spending some time.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
With us and Conway. Anything for you time for your show.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Absolutely thanks, Johnny, appreciate him all right.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
John Decker, White House correspondent with iHeartMedia and the only
thing I do whenever I talked to him. Is kicked
myself in the ass because we could have been using
him on the show for the last ten years and
I was just like given.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Word recently that he was available to us. That guy's great.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
He's in the Oval Office every day in the White House,
every single day, every day.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Through you know, four or five administrations. Unbelievable. So he's
not with the Associated Press.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, not until they change into the Gulf of the
United States, Gulf of America. All right, we're going to
keep an eye on this curfew again tonight eight pm.
So you have yourself three hours and twenty nine minutes,
three hours and twenty nine minutes to get the hell
out of that box. The one, ten to five and
the ten freeway got to get out of the box
(16:59):
by eight o'clock or else you're subjected to a rest.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty to continue monitoring downtown Los Angeles for
any kind of craziness.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And the curfew goes in at eight o'clock tonight from
eight I think until six am tomorrow morning. So you
have three hours and twenty one minutes until eight o'clock
and then you got to get the hell out of
that box. The five Freeway, the one ten and the
ten Freeway. You gotta get out, all right, Michael monkss
what it's.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Hi, you Bob.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I got to get downtown, man, they're going to close
it down, and I got to get there before you
shut it down.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But you have a license that says you live there.
I got.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
I got two ways in. I've got the I'm a
resident and I'm credential press. So oh I might just
run in and out all night. You know, this is
so typical of La. Your credential press, you live there
or you work there, and you get in and out privileges, right, yes,
and if you're homeless, the unhoused as they call them,
get to stay. Yeah, they get privileges that I don't.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
They do. Hey, they move them off my block? Wow? Yeah?
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
While I was away in Carmel last week, I came
back and the tents were gone.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh that's great. Yeah yeah, not the not a yelling
all night that's gone away. Well, I mean it's a blockover.
I do live a block and an hour from skid Row,
but they're not outside my car. You know, when you
told me you got a great story about twins. I'm like, oh,
this is great, but I don't think it's a story
that I think is Hey, no, no, this is not
late night viewing in the basement at Conway's house.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This is actual twins. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
I believe we mentioned this briefly yesterday, but just by
way of an update, there was a council aid, someone
who works on economic development in the office of Councilwoman
Isabelle Herrondo. She was arrested and a very serious charge,
not just defying the dispersal order. Wait, her assistant, one
of the aids. Yeah, and her twin sister. And this
woman's twin sister does not work in office, but and
(19:00):
they have more political connections.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
It doesn't end there.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So they they one of them is accused at least
of assault with a deadly weapon against a police officer.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Is that the AID or the sister the aid? Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Boy, so she's on unpaid leave right now. Keep in mind,
this councilman is the one who drew some headlines late
in the campaign last year for saying.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
After the police, the police. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
And so these girl, these women, I should say, they're
twenty six, they're twins. And their dad is Rick Cole
and that name may be familiar people around southern California.
He's he was the mayor of Pasadena and he served
as city administrator or city manager and ASUSA Santa Monica
Nura been around a long time and is back on
the Pasadena City Council currently and is like the number
(19:44):
two guy at the LA City Controller's office.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And that's their dad. That's their dad. Wow. How embarrassing
is that.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
He's a bit of an activist too, from back in
his heyday if you read up on him, he had
a lot of problems while in Pasadena with the any
honoring of Christopher Columbus for example, right and threat and
like the board of the demographic makeup of the board
of the of the Rose Bowl Committee and that sort
of thing. So they come from a line of activists.
(20:10):
But I don't know that he ever engaged in any
alleged violence like this, because that's a serious charge.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay, So the assistant to the councilwoman, she's been charged
and she's still incarcerated.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
As far as we know. She is being held on
like fifty thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
But you would think that family has that they probably do,
so you may have got but they have two of them,
and I don't know what the other bond did. I
wonder if you have twins that are locked up for
assaulting police officers, I wonder, as the dad, if you
could just pull out your favorite and leave you and
leave the other twin in there?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Could you tell? I don't I think you guys? As
the dad, I think you could. Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
But but here this is interesting because it makes sense too,
because if you work for somebody who say, f the police,
you've got to be on board with that.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Like if I worked you know, like Brian Long, if
he was the program, he was the programmed right here,
if he was running around going after the police all day,
I'm like, oh, I gotta get involved with that.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, I gotta you're gonna go assault aole offe.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I gotta jump on board. Yeah, I work with him.
We don't know exactly what she did.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
The details are a little murky right now, but we
do know that on Sunday when she was taken into Cussy.
This was during some of that chaos that we saw
in the overpass involving the dumping of it's embarrassed of
scooters and that sort of thing. Bricks off the off
the overpass to the CHP below. Very scary, all right.
Then the other story you're covering is the crash that
we all saw. I saw it today on TV like
a nine different angles where there was a white sedan
(21:32):
and it was cut off by an suv and a truck.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And what's that all about? Is there more than meets
the eye?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
It was very compelling videos, especially with tensions and feelings
the way they are in the community.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's involved exactly.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
So we see video of a car, a passenger vehicle
like you said, driving through Boyle Heights just downside of downtown,
and then two big vehicles come on both sides of
it and stop it. And the guy who's driving, he's
handcuffed by these obvious federal agents that have jumped down.
A woman gets out of the passenger seat with a
child in her arms. It's all very dramatic stuff to watch.
(22:04):
And you know, if you're thinking, oh man, these these
ice guys, they are coming for everyone. What was this
guy doing, right? Was he just a car wash guy? Well,
I know they're gone after the car wash today. We
saw them in the farms in Ventura County. So people
are very concerned. But this turned out to be something
different if you asked the Department of Homeland Security, Oh
there's more too, Oh there was more to this according
to them. You know, so you know, we have to
(22:24):
hear both sides, and there will be at five o'clock.
I believe some activists in support of this guy who
was detained, they're having a press conference, you know, to
talk about what a good guy he is. But the
Department of Homeland Security responded that this was a targeted
arrest of a violent rioter who punched a border patrol officer.
And when Homeland Security investigations tried to arrest Christian Damien
(22:45):
Sarno Camacho for the assault, he attempted to flee and
he was ultimately arrested and taken into custody. Wow, Macho, Camacho, Yeah,
one quick one before you throw me out of here.
If you are going to beat up a cop during
these things, don't make it a federal you will make
it federal. And also, don't be here illegally and just wait.
(23:05):
An undocumented immigrant to illegal immigrant who lives in LA
was charged a day with a felony for allegedly spitting
on a federal agent executing a warrant for his arrest.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Early, what are people thinking, you know, wyking it worse?
Why would you even go down there if you didn't
have papers making it worse.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I'm glad the tens are off your street, buddy. Yeah,
we'll see what comes of this week. I'll tell you
I kind of like this curfew. If I'm a editorialize,
I kind of like this curfew, buddy. I'm I'm it's quiet.
You're about six months away from wearing that MAGA hat.
Thanks for coming in me all right months On Saturday
seven and nine pm. Saturday Live seven and nine pm.
(23:46):
It's always the hot night when there's unrest. You want
to tune into KFI Saturday from seven to nine pm.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:00):

Angel Martinez a happy belated birthday, and this show is

Speaker 1 (25:02):
You didn't get any like no one gave you, like

Speaker 7 (25:12):

Speaker 8 (25:13):

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Oh, cherry Coke, I like that.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
You know it's coming up at that time of the
year where I have my my annual cherry Coke.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's right, that's right, all right, Well, welcome back, little Boddy,
miss thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
All right, Angel Martinez is back. All right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
We're not gonna, you know, we're gonna certainly monitor what's
going downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But it looks like it's quiet. Looks like it's quiet
down there right now.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So I gonna spend the entire day talking about that
little part of LA. I will say, though, that Waimo
has made a decision about sending cars downtown to get
burned out, and guess what the decision is.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
They're not going to do that anymore.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
I have the Waimo app right in front of me
right now, and any request in or out of downtown
Los Angeles is met with a no service in the area.
Notice all this great protests continue into a fourth day.
People looking for a ride in downtown Los Angeles won't
be getting into a way moat anytime soon. Wow, a
request pickup or drop off is met with I can't
(26:12):
get to that spot right now. Notice as the driverless
car company announced it was suspending service in the area
after five v vehicles were set on fire during Sunday's
ice protests. Our KTLA crew on the ground captured the
moment it all went down.
Speaker 10 (26:28):
They are standing here on Los Angeles. What we've been
hearing is that some of these agitators have been using
some sort of accelerant, possibly spray paint, working to light
that and that's how they've been able to get these
on fire.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I was watching the I'm going to call it the riots,
you know, just because I enjoyed that term. But I
was watching the riots last night. It was on all
the news stations and I can't believe how many people
not only ignored the curfew but are still live on
camera doing graffiti. It was astonishing. There were like five
(27:02):
or six sets of different kids still spray painting buildings
in downtown LA in the middle of a curfewed zone.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And I'm thinking, wow, man, oh man.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Either they don't know there's a curfew or they said
screw it, We're just gonna do it anyway. But once
this is over, and this will end, you know, everyone
will go home eventually or go to jail, but they'll
go somewhere else eventually. And you take a ride downtown LA,
I think you're going to be shocked how much damage
there is from graffiti. There's buses, there's benches. Every one
(27:37):
of these vans, these news vans that went downtown LA
to cover this, every one of them was graffiti. Every
single one of them has to be repainted or rewrapped.
And they didn't leave anybody out, even the Spanish stations
they got worked as well. Everybody got worked. But here's
I saw this today and I couldn't believe it. You know,
(27:58):
their last year, I think there were there were forty
three or forty four thousand homicides, I think the highest
in Mexico. And since twenty fifteen, the national homicide rate
has increased by seventy six percent to a total of
two hundred eleven thousand homicides over a seven year period.
(28:22):
And if you just go, you know, year by year
in Mexico, forty two thousand last year, forty two thousand
before that, then thirty five thousand, and thirty six thousand,
thirty five thousand, and it goes on to two hundred
and twelve, two hundred eleven thousand murders, two eleven thousand. Okay,
So the Mexican soccer team is in town from Mexico,
(28:46):
and they said, we've got to change hotels because they
were staying downtown LA and it was too dangerous for them.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
How insulting is that?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Did we invite that team from Mexico to come up
here and play soccer? We put them in a hotel
and they're like a little dangerous, Can you move us around?
And so they've moved. They're not in downtown and downtown
LA anymore. They moved to Long Beach. So Long Beach,
who has everything under control, is going to be the
(29:20):
benefactor of all this they're gonna get more business. They're
gonna get more people to the restaurants, more people go shopping.
People are not gonna go downtown LA. They're going to
Long Beach. What man if I was Long Beach, I'd
put out a press release saying, hey, we got everything
under control.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Come enjoy Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Long Beach, California's beautiful, absolutely spectacular town. And then that
whole area there, Belmont Shore into Seal Beach. Oh, they
got it going on. They got it going on in
that part of the world.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
We're covering all of everything going on downtown LA, and
you have it's two minutes of five o'clock, so you
have three hours and two minutes to get out of
downtown LA where you're going to be arrested and you
don't want that. 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
(30:13):
