Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get back
to this, Jdevans, We're waiting Karen Bass's press conference. We've
got a lot going on, a lot to cover today,
so you got to stick with us all afternoon here.
Jade Vance is in town, the vice president the Dodgers
(00:20):
have made a statement. We'll go over that. There were
some protests in Bell and also in Maywood. The Bell
one was off the seven to ten freeway, and Mayor
Bass is about to give a press conference. Governor Newsom
has challenged jd Vance to a debate, and in lighter news,
it's going to be spectacular tomorrow weatherwise. It's gonna be
(00:43):
about seventy five to eighty degrees in the valley. Tonight
will be a nice, cool night where you can leave
the windows open and if you you know, if you
can do that, and it's going to be unbelievable sleeping
weather and getting out and doing something fun Tomorrow and Sunday,
great great weather might be the last great weekend where
(01:06):
you can actually get out and enjoy yourself where it's
not one hundred and forty degrees, So plan on doing something.
All right, let's get back to JD. Vance he's here
in town, and then as soon as Karen Bass speaks,
we will have that live on KFI, and if Governor
Newsome has anything else to say, we'll cover that as well.
Jdvans the Vice presds of the United States in town
(01:28):
earlier today with a press conference. Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I heard today. Border patrol officials tell me that they
feel like the local government is sicking violent mobs on
them when they go out to the community to enforce
the nation's immigration laws. Can you imagine what it's like
to be a federal official doing your job, doing the
job the President of the United States ordered you to do,
and have a mob come after you for following orders
(01:55):
and for enforcing the American people's laws.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I think it's disgraceful that we've ever gotten to this place.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
In this country. But thank god, we've got a president
and an administration that is pushing back against lawlessness. We're
going to keep on doing it.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So thank you to the Border Patrol, thank you to
the soldiers and Marines, thank you to the US attorneys,
thank you to the FBI, Thank you to all of
you for doing what is necessary to enforce the laws
of the American people.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We are grateful to you and we'll keep on fighting
for you. Now, I'll take a few questions.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Do you say that Gavin Newsom is a danger in
law endorsement here in California?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And what should he be doing if he.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Was protecting them to us?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Look, I would absolutely say that Gavin Newsom is endangering
law enforcement. The law enforcement officials themselves tell me as
much that when they go out, Let's say you have
a border patrol official who needs to go out and
arrest somebody, maybe a violent criminal who's also an illegal alien.
When that border patrol agent goes out to do their job,
they said, within fifteen minutes of them trying to.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Do their job, they have protesters.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Sometimes violent protesters, who are in their face, obstructing them,
preventing them from doing their job and endangering their life.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Why do they have that because those people have.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Been egged on by local officials.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Gavin Newsom and Karen.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Bass by treating this city as a sanctuary city.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Have basically said that it is open season on federal
law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They have treated border patrol and Border enforcement as somehow
an illegitimate force instead of what they are, which is
the American people's law enforcement trying to enforce the American
people's laws. So when Gavin Newsom encourages violence and rioting,
when he encourages people to get in the face of
our great border patrol officers, he is absolutely endangering the
(03:34):
lives of federal enforcement.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
He's absolutely endangering the lives of mothers and daughters and fathers.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And sons who have been sent here to do a
simple thing.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And thank god, they're willing to do it, despite the
fact that the local leadership of this community has made
it harder on them. It has in fact endangered their
lives as they go about to.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Do their important work.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, so Mayor Karen Bass is going to give a
press conference any time. It'll be between now and seven o'clock,
probably close to it, at six o'clock, and she is
going to be livid, absolutely livid. I think we'll see
an animated Karen Bass. They're setting up right now in
downtown LA. I think when she comes out, I think
(04:17):
you'll hear a different Karen Bass because of what jd
Vance had to say today. I think you'll hear a
much more aggressive mayor bass today that we've heard in
the past. Everybody is on edge. A lot of these
officials have not had any sleep over the last two
weeks and they are on their last nerve. So it's
(04:37):
it's going to be a hot summer. I hope everybody survives.
I hope nobody gets you know, obviously killed or injured.
It's going to be a real test of all of
us this summer in Los Angeles. Wait till it gets
you know, one hundred degrees in the valley and there's
still a lot of protests, and people are on their
(04:58):
you know, fourth or fifth six week of protesting. They
have not had much sleep, they maybe have family members
who are deported, and it gets really, really hot in
Los Angeles. I think you're going to see a crazy summer.
And I don't know when the Border Enforcement or when
(05:19):
ICE is going to leave. I don't know how long
they're here for, but it sounds like all summer. It
sounds like three months, which will take us. They started
in early June, so June, July, and August all the
way through September, so we're going to cover all of
it here Mayribas is setting up to give a press
conference and we'll carry that live right here on KFI.
(05:42):
And so the Dodgers have put out a statement and
it says in partnership, this is from the Dodgers, in
partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Dodgers have
committed one million dollars toward direct financial assistance for families
of immigrants impacted by the recent events in the region.
And then La Dodgers President, I think he's also the CEO,
(06:04):
stan cast and put out a statement as exactly and
it reads, quote, what's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated
among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard
those calls for us to take a leading role on
behalf of those affected. We believe that by committing resources
and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift
(06:27):
the communities of Greater Los Angeles close quote. So the
Dodgers have made a statement. I'm sure they will make
some more in the future. They've committed at least a
million dollars that might go up as well. I'm sure
that will and we'll see how this all shakes down.
But it's a really everybody's tense. Everybody's tense. If you've
(06:47):
been out to Costco or Low's or home Depot or
walmart is some of them are are sparse. Some of
them have usually a couple hundred people shopping at a Walmart.
Now you know there's there might be ten to fifteen
people there, especially in some areas that has either have
a high Hispanic community, there are a lot of people
(07:09):
afraid to go out and just do you know, basically errands.
And so we're going to cover all this. Mayor basses
about speaks. We're gonna take a break, and if she
comes and starts speaking during the commercial break, we will
chime in and interrupt. We're live on KFI AM six
fort It's Conway Show.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's Conway Show. Lots going on here in Los Angeles. Again,
we're the center of the attention of the world. And
this feature is being brought to you by Advance Here
One Day Treatment, Life changing Results, make you appointments Today
at advance there dot com. We will have Mayor Bass's
press conference that's about to happen. People are starting to
gather around the microphone. JD Vance's in town. The Dodgers
have made a statement. We talked earlier about the the
(07:53):
unrest that's going on in Bell and Maywood. I'll play
that clip again in case you missed that. And then
we have Governor knew some challenging JD. Vans to a debate.
That would be interesting. I'd watch that. See what's going
on with those two those two lads who don't like
each other, and they and again, on a lighter note,
(08:14):
beautiful weekend weatherwise, the weekend to get out there with
the wife, your kids, husband, bed, partner, whatever is going
on in your life. Great weekend to get out there
and enjoy yourself. Spectacular weather. All right for people who
missed it. Chris Christy, one of my good buddies, flying
(08:35):
over Maywood and also Bell. And this was about about
an hour ago. But give you an update on what's
going on out there with these with these protests with
Ice and Border patrol.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
There are two major confrontations underway right now in the
Maywood area and in the city of Bell. Right now
you're looking at a handful of Ice SUVs or immigration officials,
I should say, who are now leaving this.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
In mind, this was about an hour ago, so it
may have dispersed by.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Now Slawson and a Lamo where they just deployed some
type of tear gas or smoke bombs into a crowd
as the crowd was yelling and they were trying to
leave the area. At the right at the intersection there
you can see all of these SUVs appear to be
federal officials and we wipe out head over to the
right Lucas you can see the crowd that may be
dissipated here over to where that enforcement was taking place.
(09:26):
Right here, there was a lot of screaming, a lot
of yelling. There was no violence until the officers started
deploying that tear gas into the crowd. The tear gas
was then kicked back in their direction. There was some
aggressive behavior. Then they got into their vehicles and they
basically are now in the process of leaving this area,
although now they've come to a stop just about a
block down the road on Slawson, where they are now
(09:49):
blocking the roadway. You can see those officers out of
their vehicles and now for some reason trying to figure
out what their next move is. I do not know
why they are stopped here, but they have stopped in
the middle of the roadway here. Police are on their
way out here. This comes just a couple of minutes
after another major confrontation in the city of Bell. You
(10:09):
can see as these officers leave the scene. We've got
some video that we just shot moments ago, a major
confrontation along Atlantic Avenue, the sixty nine hundred block of
Atlantic Avenue, about one hundred people from the community showing
up in the midst of an ice officials. We're trying
to drive through the crowd, and we've got some video
as they started taking rocks and bottles and their direction
(10:31):
as they were trying to flee that scene. Bell police
responding in pretty big numbers as well, trying to disperse
the crowd. That crowd does appear to have dispersed, predominantly
now protesting on the sidewalk down there at a local business.
Again that's going to be on the sixty nine hundred
block of Atlantic Avenue in the city of Bell, where
(10:52):
tempers are high, and it did get very very confrontational. Again,
all of this happening in the last few minutes here
in May would and again over there and fell a
major enforcement underway in this area right along the seven
ten Freeway. It's just a few blocks the freeway and
the La River. We're going to continue to follow the
situation reporting live front Air seven. I'm Chris Christie, ABC
(11:13):
seven Alight Witness.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Chris all Right. If there's any more protests that pop up,
we will have those for you live on KFI as well.
In Sporting Nudes Day News, Dave Roberts was suspended for
a game over what happened last night at Dodger Stadium.
Maybe missed it with everything going on in La I
don't blame him. There's a lot it's tough to watch everything,
but a lot of batters were hit by baseballs last night,
(11:38):
a couple on purpose, and Dave Roberts got really pissed
at the padres manager threatened to fight him in the
in the tunnels of Dodger Stadium. I believe is what happened.
Choeotani's was hit twice over the last two days and
he seemed to sort of just brush it off. He
(11:59):
got hit in the ribs and in the leg and
it didn't seem to affect him at all. I've never
seen a guy hit that hard with a baseball and
have almost zero reaction. It's almost like he's superhuman. And
after he was hit the second time in last night's game,
he signaled to the Dodgers dugout, please don't get out
of the dugout. I'm fine, It's just part of the game.
(12:21):
And they went over to the padres dugout and was
talking to them and laughing about it. This guy's unbelievable,
This show Aotani. I mean, I don't know what's going
on with this guy, but something else this guy, this
show Aotani, unbelievable. So that's going on at I think
tonight he's I don't know if he's serving the suspension tonight,
(12:43):
but he did by himself one game suspension. All right,
Karen Bass is about to speak, Mayor Bass. We will
bring that to you live. If it happens during commercial,
will break in and it is going to go on
in moments because everyone's gathering around the microphones right now,
so you want to hear that. There's a lot going
on now and you want to keep up on everything.
And we're going to play that live as soon as
it happens right here on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty so.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
As the plot was happ right, Karen bas is speaking.
Let's pop in and see what she has to say here,
Mary Karen Bass downtown Los Angeles from Washington.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
That began two weeks ago when our city was calm
and many and millions of Angelinos were going about working
and contributing to our city. The provocation has resulted in
lives disrupted, terror and fear spread throughout our city.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I spent the day to day meeting with businesses.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
We met on Sunday and businesses were empty. Owners were
suffering and describing this situation as worse than COVID. Just
think for a minute how profound that is. Workers who
are too afraid to come into work, and customers who
feel they can't go outside their house. I also met
(14:04):
with mothers who do not know where their husbands are
and their sons. They told me about their children who
spent Father's Day wondering why their fathers did not come home.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
And I just want you to.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Know that that's a trauma to a child that that
child will always carry with them. Unfortunately, the Vice President
did not take time to learn about our city and
understand that our city is a city of immigrants from
every country and continent.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
On the planet.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
But then again, he did need to justify the hundreds
of millions of wasted taxpayers dollars that were wasted in
the performance of a stunt and an experiment in this
city and using men and women of our armed services
whose mission it is to protect our country. You accused,
(14:59):
he accused leaders and myself as mayor of this city,
of encouraging violence, of seeking mobs on ice officers. But
let me just tell you, like yesterday, what happened that
the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
We're not sure who these armed men are.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
They show up without uniforms, they show up completely masked,
they refuse to give ID. They're driving regular cars with
tented windows and in some cases out of state license plates.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Who are these people? And frankly, the vests.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
That they have on look like they ordered them from Amazon.
Are they bounty hunters? Are they vigilantes? If they're federal officials,
why is it that they do not identify themselves. You
can imagine the fear and the terror that that has
created in our city when you have cars driving around,
(15:55):
people jumping out of those cars with guns and rifles
and pulling people off the Shot Street. How dare you
say that city officials encouraged violence.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
We kept the peace.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
You know that the federal officials that were here protected
a federal building. They were not involved in crowd control.
Cow crowd control was handled most aptly by the Los
Angeles Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and local law enforcement.
We were able to handle the violence and the vandalism
(16:28):
that occurred.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
We put a curfew in place. We've lifted that curfew.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Our streets have been peaceful, and even when there was
vandalism at its height, you are talking about a.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Couple of hundred people who were.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Not necessarily associated with any of the peaceful protests. And
for those of you who were watching outside of Los Angeles,
I will say it over and over again. Los Angeles
is a city that is five hundred square miles and
any of the disruption that took place took place in
about two square miles in our city. The most over
(17:07):
one hundred people were arrested. We are a city of
three point eight million people. And finally, mister Vice President,
how dare you disrespect our senator? You don't know his name,
but yet you served with him before you were vice president,
(17:29):
and you continue.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
To serve with him today.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Because the last time I checked, the Vice President of
the United States is the president of the US Senate.
You serve with him today, and how dare you disrespect
him and call him Jose But I guess he just
looked like anybody to you. Well, he's not just anybody
to us. He is our senator. And you fly in,
you parachute in the city. I don't know if you've
(17:52):
ever been here before. You parachute in the city. You
pass all kinds of judgment, and then you leave and
you add to the provocation, you add to the division,
or you attempt to create division in our city. But
I just want you to know that our city is
standing together.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
We are united.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
You might attempt to create division, but you are united.
Standing with me today are families, business owners, community leaders, representatives,
and nothing you.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Can do will divide us. Thank you, good.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Mayor obviously the president vices.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sean mosaers to the ground right.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Is earlier comments from Vice President Van I would describe
the city.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I mean, you might know our city after a major
sporting event and people come out and it's called melee.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
We had peaceful protests. At the end of.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Those protests when you have the people that scragglers or
who intervene at the last minute, and it reached maybe
one hundred people, and they graffeeded up buildings, And let
me tell you, I'm not underestimating how serious that was.
The vandalism all throughout the downtown area. Okay, there was
(19:22):
one day where there was looting of businesses. There were
windows that were broken, but it was a very small
couple of blocks in our city, a handful of people.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
It is an.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Absolute lie to say the city of five hundred square
miles when maybe two square miles there were problems that
lasted a few hours that we were perfectly capable of handling.
That's how I would describe what is going on in
our city. And you can look at the streets today.
Our streets have been peaceful. This is Friday. There have
(19:58):
not been any problems in our city since the protests
that happened on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Period.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Pared asked doctors and as to say any out innovation
in markership and says the parts commigrant communities.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, so exactly. You have to say that.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Any tod st well, we're working that out, but basically
are our people need cash, People need to pay groceries.
The woman that I met with today, who is now
the sole provider in her family, her rent is twenty
one hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
She doesn't have a means to pay for that.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
She's not going to work because she doesn't know if
she's gonna come home, and she has children at home.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
This is what has happened when you create this type
of terror. And mind you, there was nothing happening here.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
The administration started off talking about gang members, drug dealers,
violent people. There's no violent people up here, and the
people up here have been impacted by this. I don't
think people who are day laborers is trying to survive
from day to day, people who are on bus stops,
people who are going to church, people who are in
(21:07):
a park.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
How does that?
Speaker 8 (21:10):
How does that go along with what the administration said?
They were trying to do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Any any questions about.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Because you have on briefly about Prestomas Slot your actions
potentially aiming alters and you said o the season all
law workers, did you talk about your relationship with the police,
chief sheriff and I guessing the conversation.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Well, no, I mean the comments were made just a
couple of hours ago. But let me just tell you
that I talked to the police chief multiple times a day.
I usually start my mornings out by talking to the
police chief. I selected him, we hired him in this city.
I'm very close with him. I work very well with
law enforcement. I go out and meet with law enforcement regularly.
(22:00):
That is the thing that is so that that is
such a problem in what the Vice president is doing
to come and just openly lie.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
But I know, unfortunately, this is not new of this administration.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
It's not unusual to say that today is Sunday when
everybody in the world knows it's Friday, and then insist
on it. So how does that help the nation's second
largest city to come out and paint a picture that
is completely false. You damage the economy of our city.
Our city, we have entire sectors of our economy that
(22:34):
is dependent on immigrant labor. We need to get the
city rebuilt, we need to prepare the city for the
upcoming events, and this is not contributing to that at all.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
But let me just take a minute.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Do you mind if I put you on the spot
would you please talk about your restaurant and the Sunday
Father's Day that I spent in your restaurant morning.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
My name is Antonio Gayo. I'm one of the owners
of Casafina restaurant in Broyle Heights. Spent a staple in
the area of Boyle Heights. Normally on Father's Day, we
were packed. We have people waiting about twenty minutes on
that Sunday. I mean it was it was just there
was nobody there, right, Folks were afraid to come out,
and and and now we have to consider about what
(23:17):
do we do with our employees. Right, we have no
money coming in. It's just the raids in the city
and just it's just it's scaring our folks. It's scaring
our people, and and it has to stop or or
a lot of folks are going to lose their jobs.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
I could when I started number so.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
When the Casina and Boyle Heights.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We have been listening to my press conference from La
all right, that was Mayor bass A. I told you
she was going to be hot, very very angry. She
has had two weeks, very little sleep, a lot going
on in her city and she isn't like any of it.
And I knew she was going to be really, really pissed.
(24:03):
She talked about businesses being empty, uh and and and
less crowded than COVID. This is worse than COVID, she said,
for a lot of the restaurants. She said, there's a
lot of mothers that don't know where their husbands are
and kids that don't know where dads are.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
She said a couple of times where they're a city
of immigrants, and said that the government, the president and
the federal government spend hundreds of millions of dollars wasted
on the Marines and the National Guard. She talked about
dads not being home for Father's Day. She went after
jd Vance, called him a liar. She said, ice is
(24:43):
is not id ing themselves. They're not presenting themselves with ID.
They drive around in unmarked cars. She went after federal
agents pretty hard. She said that you know we that
LA was able to keep the peace. The crowd control
during the riots downtown were by police. She finally did
(25:04):
say though two square miles. She'd been saying one square
mile for a long time, which I don't know why
that irritated, but it wasn't square mile. The curfew has
been lifted. She talked about that that there's three point
eight million people live in the city of Los Angeles,
and that JD. Vans called Alex Padilla Jose Padilla, and
she talked about misnaming him, and she said JD. Vance
(25:27):
is the problem and nothing will divide us. That there
that the downtown LA, all the unrest and the riot
that we saw in downtown LA was just like a
sporting event, but it just went on. Instead of three hours,
it went on for, you know, a week and a half.
She said it was all because of a small handful
of people in downtown LA and it was fairly peaceful.
(25:50):
It was just a couple of windows broken, some graffiti
and some and she didn't mentioned the fireworks I don't
believe thrown at the cops. But that's not that's not true.
I mean, you asked the cops down what happened in
downtown LA, and that is a whole different story of
what happened. She sort of, you know, painted with a
(26:10):
really broad brush of nothing happened, nothing to see here,
and anyone to watch TV knows that that's one hundred
percent wrong. Somebody asked where the Dodger money is going
to she said, hopefully it'll be going directly. The money
will be going directly to people who need it. People
need to pay rent because they can't show up, they
can't go to work. She said, the Fed, the FEDS
are creating terror, referring calling them liars and people create terror. Terrorists,
(26:40):
you know, she said, the FEDS are creating terror. Talks
of she talks to LAPD chief three or four times
a day. She went into that and she said, we
have to rebuild this city and this is not helping
at all. And then I've never heard of this restaurant,
Cosaina in Boyle Heights. I believe it's the name of it, Costafina.
Evidently it's been around for a long time, and it
(27:00):
was empty on Father's Day, usually a twenty minute wait
for a table, and no money is coming in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
So the.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Owner of Costafina said, these raids have to stop. And
I don't know what's next, but it doesn't look like
they're slowing down at all. So a major fight between
the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of California, the
Vice President of United States, and the President of the
United States. And it is not getting better. It's getting hotter,
(27:34):
and this city is boiling over, boiling over, and you
can see it every time you drive around. You can
see it in people's faces and the way that people
drive around. You go to stores and they're empty. This
city is in trouble.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Mayor Bass has spoken. She took a couple of questions,
and she's angry, angry as hell, and you know what's
going on in La. Jd Vance comes out on a Saturday,
on a Friday, I mean, and insults her and the governor,
and it's just getting hot. You know, as things were
calming down a little bit, it now looks like they're
(28:17):
turning the heat up. So we'll cover it if any
anything else happens. We told you the Dodgers put out
a statement Jade Vance is in town. Earlier in Bell
and may Wood, there were protests and some confrontations with
ice and border patrol, the federal agents, and Governor Newsom
(28:38):
has challenged jd Vance to a debate. And so we'll
see and then look, all of this is happening, and
another major story that's not getting any of the national attention.
It should be is Israel and Iran and President Trump
say it's going to take two weeks to decide what
to do there. So now we got to wait and
(29:00):
wait and see what happens there and how involved the
United States will get a lot going on. That's why
you really need to really need to keep it on
KFI all day long. All right, in other news, in
other news, and there is some other news going on.
A lot of people go to the Rose Bowl for
July fourth. They see the fireworks. It's a great event.
(29:22):
I've not seen it from the Rose Bowl. But there
was a friend of mine who used to own a
home above the Rose Bowl and he had a big party.
His name was Kent Shocknick. You guys remember that name,
Ken Shocknick. Oh yeah, the newscaster. Yeah was that right? Okay, wow,
I didn't know everybody. I slept with him. Good look
at all you guys, man. Everybody jumped in. Oh yeah
(29:43):
I knew. Which was bar mitz Fi. His kid had
my baby. I married him for five years, so you
get him to didn't you use to play a song too?
You can't touch this? Oh yeah that's right, Yeah it was.
You can't cat shocked there, no cat shocked. But he
(30:06):
had a party. It was in twenty oh one, and
it was up at his house. It was for Fourth
of July. And if you history buffs out there, no,
it's twenty oh two. So you history buffs out there,
you may have remembered what happened on September eleventh, two
(30:26):
thousand and one. You guys all remember, right, So he
had a Fourth of July party and it was still
on everybody's mind, the terrorism, the war that that dragged
us into. There was a lot going on. So he
had ordered food to be cater He wanted to cater
his party. And he's still live in a beautiful house.
(30:48):
I don't know if he still does up above the
Rose Bowl. And I went to his house for a
little while, and he had it catered and the food
was sensational, and all the waiters and waitresses they were
all wearing Hawaiian shirts, Hawaiian pants, and Hawaiian lays, and
everything was decorated in Hawaiian. And then the buffet opened
(31:10):
and everybody got food. And I said to a Kent,
I go, hey, Kent, this is a great party. Everybody said,
it's a Hawaiian theme. Everybody's decked out in Hawaii. I said,
but this food's not Hawaiian and he said, yeah, I know,
it's it's Middle Eastern, but it's too early, and so
he asked all of the guys that were serving the
(31:33):
Middle Eastern food to dress up as Hawaiians and it
was odd odd I do remember that strange, strange moment.
But Fourth of July at the Rose Bowl is always
a great event. They have some of the most spectacular
fireworks in the country, perhaps in the world. But there's
a change because of what the fire is and the
(31:55):
dry season that we're having in the hot summer. But
those fire year that happened in Pacific Palisades and out
in Auta, Dina and Malibu, they've had an effect on everybody,
including the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
It's hosted one of these shows for almost one hundred years.
But guess what, it's coming to an end this year.
There will be no fireworks this year, marking the end
of a longtime tradition. Instead, they're going to do a
drone light show.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Chris.
Speaker 10 (32:17):
Concerns about air pollution, the environment impact that have led
to the shift drone shows have been added.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Are we going to start doing that now we're not
going to have fireworks show because of the environmental impact.
They're going to do a drone light show.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
There's concerns about air pollution, the environment impact that.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The environmental impact. We can't have one day where we
celebrate the birth of this country, we celebrate Independent's Day,
celebrate July fourth without having to worry about the environment impact.
The environmental impact, the environment.
Speaker 10 (32:48):
Impact that have led to the shift. Drone shows have
been added have been a dud to some communities, where
Dondo Beach and Laguna Beach also switched back to fireworks.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
After trying them out. That's right, because people hate it.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
It's tough. It is fly balloons anymore. You can't do five.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
That's right. This woman's on my side. I like this woman.
I don't know who she is, but she's right. She
you know, she likes balloons. I like balloons. You can't
have balloons anymore. I can't even put my cigarette out
in the sand at the beach. This word, yeah, the
world's my ashtray, for God's sakes.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's tough.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
It is fly balloons anymore. You can't do fireworks, I
will say.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
I mean for the Rose Bowl especially. I mean, you
have the sand gable of out the san Gable mountains
and things like that, with all the fire danger and
things like that, like fireworks does post it does pose a.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Right please, for God's sakes, how many fires have been
caused by Rose Bowl fireworks? We looked that up real quick,
zero zero and now the environmental impact. God is a
city lame on a lot of different levels. That's just
another one. A drone show. Great, all right, well, looking
(33:57):
forward to the big uh finale with the drone show
and the drone show. After you see the guy riding
a bicycle, after you see a car wrote riding by
and a fake firework, you're like, this sucks. So that's
where we are. No fireworks, drones. All right, We're live,
keep an eye in Los Angeles. It's hot and getting hotter,
(34:21):
and we'll keep an eye on it all night long
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeart
Radio app.
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get back
to this, Jdevans, We're waiting Karen Bass's press conference. We've
got a lot going on, a lot to cover today,
so you got to stick with us all afternoon here.
Jade Vance is in town, the vice president the Dodgers
(00:20):
have made a statement. We'll go over that. There were
some protests in Bell and also in Maywood. The Bell
one was off the seven to ten freeway, and Mayor
Bass is about to give a press conference. Governor Newsom
has challenged jd Vance to a debate, and in lighter news,
it's going to be spectacular tomorrow weatherwise. It's gonna be
(00:43):
about seventy five to eighty degrees in the valley. Tonight
will be a nice, cool night where you can leave
the windows open and if you you know, if you
can do that, and it's going to be unbelievable sleeping
weather and getting out and doing something fun Tomorrow and Sunday,
great great weather might be the last great weekend where
(01:06):
you can actually get out and enjoy yourself where it's
not one hundred and forty degrees, So plan on doing something.
All right, let's get back to JD. Vance he's here
in town, and then as soon as Karen Bass speaks,
we will have that live on KFI, and if Governor
Newsome has anything else to say, we'll cover that as well.
Jdvans the Vice presds of the United States in town
(01:28):
earlier today with a press conference. Sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I heard today. Border patrol officials tell me that they
feel like the local government is sicking violent mobs on
them when they go out to the community to enforce
the nation's immigration laws. Can you imagine what it's like
to be a federal official doing your job, doing the
job the President of the United States ordered you to do,
and have a mob come after you for following orders
(01:55):
and for enforcing the American people's laws.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I think it's disgraceful that we've ever gotten to this place.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
In this country. But thank god, we've got a president
and an administration that is pushing back against lawlessness. We're
going to keep on doing it.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Every step of the way.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So thank you to the Border Patrol, thank you to
the soldiers and Marines, thank you to the US attorneys,
thank you to the FBI, Thank you to all of
you for doing what is necessary to enforce the laws
of the American people.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We are grateful to you and we'll keep on fighting
for you. Now, I'll take a few questions.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Do you say that Gavin Newsom is a danger in
law endorsement here in California?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And what should he be doing if he.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Was protecting them to us?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Look, I would absolutely say that Gavin Newsom is endangering
law enforcement. The law enforcement officials themselves tell me as
much that when they go out, Let's say you have
a border patrol official who needs to go out and
arrest somebody, maybe a violent criminal who's also an illegal alien.
When that border patrol agent goes out to do their job,
they said, within fifteen minutes of them trying to.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Do their job, they have protesters.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Sometimes violent protesters, who are in their face, obstructing them,
preventing them from doing their job and endangering their life.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Why do they have that because those people have.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Been egged on by local officials.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Gavin Newsom and Karen.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Bass by treating this city as a sanctuary city.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Have basically said that it is open season on federal
law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
They have treated border patrol and Border enforcement as somehow
an illegitimate force instead of what they are, which is
the American people's law enforcement trying to enforce the American
people's laws. So when Gavin Newsom encourages violence and rioting,
when he encourages people to get in the face of
our great border patrol officers, he is absolutely endangering the
(03:34):
lives of federal enforcement.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
He's absolutely endangering the lives of mothers and daughters and fathers.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And sons who have been sent here to do a
simple thing.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Enforce the law.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And thank god, they're willing to do it, despite the
fact that the local leadership of this community has made
it harder on them. It has in fact endangered their
lives as they go about to.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Do their important work.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, so Mayor Karen Bass is going to give a
press conference any time. It'll be between now and seven o'clock,
probably close to it, at six o'clock, and she is
going to be livid, absolutely livid. I think we'll see
an animated Karen Bass. They're setting up right now in
downtown LA. I think when she comes out, I think
(04:17):
you'll hear a different Karen Bass because of what jd
Vance had to say today. I think you'll hear a
much more aggressive mayor bass today that we've heard in
the past. Everybody is on edge. A lot of these
officials have not had any sleep over the last two
weeks and they are on their last nerve. So it's
(04:37):
it's going to be a hot summer. I hope everybody survives.
I hope nobody gets you know, obviously killed or injured.
It's going to be a real test of all of
us this summer in Los Angeles. Wait till it gets
you know, one hundred degrees in the valley and there's
still a lot of protests, and people are on their
(04:58):
you know, fourth or fifth six week of protesting. They
have not had much sleep, they maybe have family members
who are deported, and it gets really, really hot in
Los Angeles. I think you're going to see a crazy summer.
And I don't know when the Border Enforcement or when
(05:19):
ICE is going to leave. I don't know how long
they're here for, but it sounds like all summer. It
sounds like three months, which will take us. They started
in early June, so June, July, and August all the
way through September, so we're going to cover all of
it here Mayribas is setting up to give a press
conference and we'll carry that live right here on KFI.
(05:42):
And so the Dodgers have put out a statement and
it says in partnership, this is from the Dodgers, in
partnership with the City of Los Angeles, the Dodgers have
committed one million dollars toward direct financial assistance for families
of immigrants impacted by the recent events in the region.
And then La Dodgers President, I think he's also the CEO,
(06:04):
stan cast and put out a statement as exactly and
it reads, quote, what's happening in Los Angeles has reverberated
among thousands upon thousands of people, and we have heard
those calls for us to take a leading role on
behalf of those affected. We believe that by committing resources
and taking action, we will continue to support and uplift
(06:27):
the communities of Greater Los Angeles close quote. So the
Dodgers have made a statement. I'm sure they will make
some more in the future. They've committed at least a
million dollars that might go up as well. I'm sure
that will and we'll see how this all shakes down.
But it's a really everybody's tense. Everybody's tense. If you've
(06:47):
been out to Costco or Low's or home Depot or
walmart is some of them are are sparse. Some of
them have usually a couple hundred people shopping at a Walmart.
Now you know there's there might be ten to fifteen
people there, especially in some areas that has either have
a high Hispanic community, there are a lot of people
(07:09):
afraid to go out and just do you know, basically errands.
And so we're going to cover all this. Mayor basses
about speaks. We're gonna take a break, and if she
comes and starts speaking during the commercial break, we will
chime in and interrupt. We're live on KFI AM six
fort It's Conway Show.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's Conway Show. Lots going on here in Los Angeles. Again,
we're the center of the attention of the world. And
this feature is being brought to you by Advance Here
One Day Treatment, Life changing Results, make you appointments Today
at advance there dot com. We will have Mayor Bass's
press conference that's about to happen. People are starting to
gather around the microphone. JD Vance's in town. The Dodgers
have made a statement. We talked earlier about the the
(07:53):
unrest that's going on in Bell and Maywood. I'll play
that clip again in case you missed that. And then
we have Governor knew some challenging JD. Vans to a debate.
That would be interesting. I'd watch that. See what's going
on with those two those two lads who don't like
each other, and they and again, on a lighter note,
(08:14):
beautiful weekend weatherwise, the weekend to get out there with
the wife, your kids, husband, bed, partner, whatever is going
on in your life. Great weekend to get out there
and enjoy yourself. Spectacular weather. All right for people who
missed it. Chris Christy, one of my good buddies, flying
(08:35):
over Maywood and also Bell. And this was about about
an hour ago. But give you an update on what's
going on out there with these with these protests with
Ice and Border patrol.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
There are two major confrontations underway right now in the
Maywood area and in the city of Bell. Right now
you're looking at a handful of Ice SUVs or immigration officials,
I should say, who are now leaving this.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
In mind, this was about an hour ago, so it
may have dispersed by.
Speaker 6 (09:03):
Now Slawson and a Lamo where they just deployed some
type of tear gas or smoke bombs into a crowd
as the crowd was yelling and they were trying to
leave the area. At the right at the intersection there
you can see all of these SUVs appear to be
federal officials and we wipe out head over to the
right Lucas you can see the crowd that may be
dissipated here over to where that enforcement was taking place.
(09:26):
Right here, there was a lot of screaming, a lot
of yelling. There was no violence until the officers started
deploying that tear gas into the crowd. The tear gas
was then kicked back in their direction. There was some
aggressive behavior. Then they got into their vehicles and they
basically are now in the process of leaving this area,
although now they've come to a stop just about a
block down the road on Slawson, where they are now
(09:49):
blocking the roadway. You can see those officers out of
their vehicles and now for some reason trying to figure
out what their next move is. I do not know
why they are stopped here, but they have stopped in
the middle of the roadway here. Police are on their
way out here. This comes just a couple of minutes
after another major confrontation in the city of Bell. You
(10:09):
can see as these officers leave the scene. We've got
some video that we just shot moments ago, a major
confrontation along Atlantic Avenue, the sixty nine hundred block of
Atlantic Avenue, about one hundred people from the community showing
up in the midst of an ice officials. We're trying
to drive through the crowd, and we've got some video
as they started taking rocks and bottles and their direction
(10:31):
as they were trying to flee that scene. Bell police
responding in pretty big numbers as well, trying to disperse
the crowd. That crowd does appear to have dispersed, predominantly
now protesting on the sidewalk down there at a local business.
Again that's going to be on the sixty nine hundred
block of Atlantic Avenue in the city of Bell, where
(10:52):
tempers are high, and it did get very very confrontational. Again,
all of this happening in the last few minutes here
in May would and again over there and fell a
major enforcement underway in this area right along the seven
ten Freeway. It's just a few blocks the freeway and
the La River. We're going to continue to follow the
situation reporting live front Air seven. I'm Chris Christie, ABC
(11:13):
seven Alight Witness.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Chris all Right. If there's any more protests that pop up,
we will have those for you live on KFI as well.
In Sporting Nudes Day News, Dave Roberts was suspended for
a game over what happened last night at Dodger Stadium.
Maybe missed it with everything going on in La I
don't blame him. There's a lot it's tough to watch everything,
but a lot of batters were hit by baseballs last night,
(11:38):
a couple on purpose, and Dave Roberts got really pissed
at the padres manager threatened to fight him in the
in the tunnels of Dodger Stadium. I believe is what happened.
Choeotani's was hit twice over the last two days and
he seemed to sort of just brush it off. He
(11:59):
got hit in the ribs and in the leg and
it didn't seem to affect him at all. I've never
seen a guy hit that hard with a baseball and
have almost zero reaction. It's almost like he's superhuman. And
after he was hit the second time in last night's game,
he signaled to the Dodgers dugout, please don't get out
of the dugout. I'm fine, It's just part of the game.
(12:21):
And they went over to the padres dugout and was
talking to them and laughing about it. This guy's unbelievable,
This show Aotani. I mean, I don't know what's going
on with this guy, but something else this guy, this
show Aotani, unbelievable. So that's going on at I think
tonight he's I don't know if he's serving the suspension tonight,
(12:43):
but he did by himself one game suspension. All right,
Karen Bass is about to speak, Mayor Bass. We will
bring that to you live. If it happens during commercial,
will break in and it is going to go on
in moments because everyone's gathering around the microphones right now,
so you want to hear that. There's a lot going
on now and you want to keep up on everything.
And we're going to play that live as soon as
it happens right here on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty so.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
As the plot was happ right, Karen bas is speaking.
Let's pop in and see what she has to say here,
Mary Karen Bass downtown Los Angeles from Washington.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
That began two weeks ago when our city was calm
and many and millions of Angelinos were going about working
and contributing to our city. The provocation has resulted in
lives disrupted, terror and fear spread throughout our city.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I spent the day to day meeting with businesses.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
We met on Sunday and businesses were empty. Owners were
suffering and describing this situation as worse than COVID. Just
think for a minute how profound that is. Workers who
are too afraid to come into work, and customers who
feel they can't go outside their house. I also met
(14:04):
with mothers who do not know where their husbands are
and their sons. They told me about their children who
spent Father's Day wondering why their fathers did not come home.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
And I just want you to.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Know that that's a trauma to a child that that
child will always carry with them. Unfortunately, the Vice President
did not take time to learn about our city and
understand that our city is a city of immigrants from
every country and continent.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
On the planet.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
But then again, he did need to justify the hundreds
of millions of wasted taxpayers dollars that were wasted in
the performance of a stunt and an experiment in this
city and using men and women of our armed services
whose mission it is to protect our country. You accused,
(14:59):
he accused leaders and myself as mayor of this city,
of encouraging violence, of seeking mobs on ice officers. But
let me just tell you, like yesterday, what happened that
the Dodgers.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
We're not sure who these armed men are.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
They show up without uniforms, they show up completely masked,
they refuse to give ID. They're driving regular cars with
tented windows and in some cases out of state license plates.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Who are these people? And frankly, the vests.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
That they have on look like they ordered them from Amazon.
Are they bounty hunters? Are they vigilantes? If they're federal officials,
why is it that they do not identify themselves. You
can imagine the fear and the terror that that has
created in our city when you have cars driving around,
(15:55):
people jumping out of those cars with guns and rifles
and pulling people off the Shot Street. How dare you
say that city officials encouraged violence.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
We kept the peace.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
You know that the federal officials that were here protected
a federal building. They were not involved in crowd control.
Cow crowd control was handled most aptly by the Los
Angeles Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, and local law enforcement.
We were able to handle the violence and the vandalism
(16:28):
that occurred.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
We put a curfew in place. We've lifted that curfew.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Our streets have been peaceful, and even when there was
vandalism at its height, you are talking about a.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Couple of hundred people who were.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Not necessarily associated with any of the peaceful protests. And
for those of you who were watching outside of Los Angeles,
I will say it over and over again. Los Angeles
is a city that is five hundred square miles and
any of the disruption that took place took place in
about two square miles in our city. The most over
(17:07):
one hundred people were arrested. We are a city of
three point eight million people. And finally, mister Vice President,
how dare you disrespect our senator? You don't know his name,
but yet you served with him before you were vice president,
(17:29):
and you continue.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
To serve with him today.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Because the last time I checked, the Vice President of
the United States is the president of the US Senate.
You serve with him today, and how dare you disrespect
him and call him Jose But I guess he just
looked like anybody to you. Well, he's not just anybody
to us. He is our senator. And you fly in,
you parachute in the city. I don't know if you've
(17:52):
ever been here before. You parachute in the city. You
pass all kinds of judgment, and then you leave and
you add to the provocation, you add to the division,
or you attempt to create division in our city. But
I just want you to know that our city is
standing together.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
We are united.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
You might attempt to create division, but you are united.
Standing with me today are families, business owners, community leaders, representatives,
and nothing you.
Speaker 8 (18:24):
Can do will divide us. Thank you, good.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Mayor obviously the president vices.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sean mosaers to the ground right.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Is earlier comments from Vice President Van I would describe
the city.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
I mean, you might know our city after a major
sporting event and people come out and it's called melee.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
We had peaceful protests. At the end of.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Those protests when you have the people that scragglers or
who intervene at the last minute, and it reached maybe
one hundred people, and they graffeeded up buildings, And let
me tell you, I'm not underestimating how serious that was.
The vandalism all throughout the downtown area. Okay, there was
(19:22):
one day where there was looting of businesses. There were
windows that were broken, but it was a very small
couple of blocks in our city, a handful of people.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
It is an.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Absolute lie to say the city of five hundred square
miles when maybe two square miles there were problems that
lasted a few hours that we were perfectly capable of handling.
That's how I would describe what is going on in
our city. And you can look at the streets today.
Our streets have been peaceful. This is Friday. There have
(19:58):
not been any problems in our city since the protests
that happened on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Period.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Pared asked doctors and as to say any out innovation
in markership and says the parts commigrant communities.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, so exactly. You have to say that.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Any tod st well, we're working that out, but basically
are our people need cash, People need to pay groceries.
The woman that I met with today, who is now
the sole provider in her family, her rent is twenty
one hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
She doesn't have a means to pay for that.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
She's not going to work because she doesn't know if
she's gonna come home, and she has children at home.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
This is what has happened when you create this type
of terror. And mind you, there was nothing happening here.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
The administration started off talking about gang members, drug dealers,
violent people. There's no violent people up here, and the
people up here have been impacted by this. I don't
think people who are day laborers is trying to survive
from day to day, people who are on bus stops,
people who are going to church, people who are in
(21:07):
a park.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
How does that?
Speaker 8 (21:10):
How does that go along with what the administration said?
They were trying to do.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Any any questions about.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Because you have on briefly about Prestomas Slot your actions
potentially aiming alters and you said o the season all
law workers, did you talk about your relationship with the police,
chief sheriff and I guessing the conversation.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Well, no, I mean the comments were made just a
couple of hours ago. But let me just tell you
that I talked to the police chief multiple times a day.
I usually start my mornings out by talking to the
police chief. I selected him, we hired him in this city.
I'm very close with him. I work very well with
law enforcement. I go out and meet with law enforcement regularly.
(22:00):
That is the thing that is so that that is
such a problem in what the Vice president is doing
to come and just openly lie.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
But I know, unfortunately, this is not new of this administration.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
It's not unusual to say that today is Sunday when
everybody in the world knows it's Friday, and then insist
on it. So how does that help the nation's second
largest city to come out and paint a picture that
is completely false. You damage the economy of our city.
Our city, we have entire sectors of our economy that
(22:34):
is dependent on immigrant labor. We need to get the
city rebuilt, we need to prepare the city for the
upcoming events, and this is not contributing to that at all.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
But let me just take a minute.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Do you mind if I put you on the spot
would you please talk about your restaurant and the Sunday
Father's Day that I spent in your restaurant morning.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
My name is Antonio Gayo. I'm one of the owners
of Casafina restaurant in Broyle Heights. Spent a staple in
the area of Boyle Heights. Normally on Father's Day, we
were packed. We have people waiting about twenty minutes on
that Sunday. I mean it was it was just there
was nobody there, right, Folks were afraid to come out,
and and and now we have to consider about what
(23:17):
do we do with our employees. Right, we have no
money coming in. It's just the raids in the city
and just it's just it's scaring our folks. It's scaring
our people, and and it has to stop or or
a lot of folks are going to lose their jobs.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
I could when I started number so.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
When the Casina and Boyle Heights.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We have been listening to my press conference from La
all right, that was Mayor bass A. I told you
she was going to be hot, very very angry. She
has had two weeks, very little sleep, a lot going
on in her city and she isn't like any of it.
And I knew she was going to be really, really pissed.
(24:03):
She talked about businesses being empty, uh and and and
less crowded than COVID. This is worse than COVID, she said,
for a lot of the restaurants. She said, there's a
lot of mothers that don't know where their husbands are
and kids that don't know where dads are.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
She said a couple of times where they're a city
of immigrants, and said that the government, the president and
the federal government spend hundreds of millions of dollars wasted
on the Marines and the National Guard. She talked about
dads not being home for Father's Day. She went after
jd Vance, called him a liar. She said, ice is
(24:43):
is not id ing themselves. They're not presenting themselves with ID.
They drive around in unmarked cars. She went after federal
agents pretty hard. She said that you know we that
LA was able to keep the peace. The crowd control
during the riots downtown were by police. She finally did
(25:04):
say though two square miles. She'd been saying one square
mile for a long time, which I don't know why
that irritated, but it wasn't square mile. The curfew has
been lifted. She talked about that that there's three point
eight million people live in the city of Los Angeles,
and that JD. Vans called Alex Padilla Jose Padilla, and
she talked about misnaming him, and she said JD. Vance
(25:27):
is the problem and nothing will divide us. That there
that the downtown LA, all the unrest and the riot
that we saw in downtown LA was just like a
sporting event, but it just went on. Instead of three hours,
it went on for, you know, a week and a half.
She said it was all because of a small handful
of people in downtown LA and it was fairly peaceful.
(25:50):
It was just a couple of windows broken, some graffiti
and some and she didn't mentioned the fireworks I don't
believe thrown at the cops. But that's not that's not true.
I mean, you asked the cops down what happened in
downtown LA, and that is a whole different story of
what happened. She sort of, you know, painted with a
(26:10):
really broad brush of nothing happened, nothing to see here,
and anyone to watch TV knows that that's one hundred
percent wrong. Somebody asked where the Dodger money is going
to she said, hopefully it'll be going directly. The money
will be going directly to people who need it. People
need to pay rent because they can't show up, they
can't go to work. She said, the Fed, the FEDS
are creating terror, referring calling them liars and people create terror. Terrorists,
(26:40):
you know, she said, the FEDS are creating terror. Talks
of she talks to LAPD chief three or four times
a day. She went into that and she said, we
have to rebuild this city and this is not helping
at all. And then I've never heard of this restaurant,
Cosaina in Boyle Heights. I believe it's the name of it, Costafina.
Evidently it's been around for a long time, and it
(27:00):
was empty on Father's Day, usually a twenty minute wait
for a table, and no money is coming in.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
So the.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Owner of Costafina said, these raids have to stop. And
I don't know what's next, but it doesn't look like
they're slowing down at all. So a major fight between
the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of California, the
Vice President of United States, and the President of the
United States. And it is not getting better. It's getting hotter,
(27:34):
and this city is boiling over, boiling over, and you
can see it every time you drive around. You can
see it in people's faces and the way that people
drive around. You go to stores and they're empty. This
city is in trouble.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Mayor Bass has spoken. She took a couple of questions,
and she's angry, angry as hell, and you know what's
going on in La. Jd Vance comes out on a Saturday,
on a Friday, I mean, and insults her and the governor,
and it's just getting hot. You know, as things were
calming down a little bit, it now looks like they're
(28:17):
turning the heat up. So we'll cover it if any
anything else happens. We told you the Dodgers put out
a statement Jade Vance is in town. Earlier in Bell
and may Wood, there were protests and some confrontations with
ice and border patrol, the federal agents, and Governor Newsom
(28:38):
has challenged jd Vance to a debate. And so we'll
see and then look, all of this is happening, and
another major story that's not getting any of the national attention.
It should be is Israel and Iran and President Trump
say it's going to take two weeks to decide what
to do there. So now we got to wait and
(29:00):
wait and see what happens there and how involved the
United States will get a lot going on. That's why
you really need to really need to keep it on
KFI all day long. All right, in other news, in
other news, and there is some other news going on.
A lot of people go to the Rose Bowl for
July fourth. They see the fireworks. It's a great event.
(29:22):
I've not seen it from the Rose Bowl. But there
was a friend of mine who used to own a
home above the Rose Bowl and he had a big party.
His name was Kent Shocknick. You guys remember that name,
Ken Shocknick. Oh yeah, the newscaster. Yeah was that right? Okay, wow,
I didn't know everybody. I slept with him. Good look
at all you guys, man. Everybody jumped in. Oh yeah
(29:43):
I knew. Which was bar mitz Fi. His kid had
my baby. I married him for five years, so you
get him to didn't you use to play a song too?
You can't touch this? Oh yeah that's right, Yeah it was.
You can't cat shocked there, no cat shocked. But he
(30:06):
had a party. It was in twenty oh one, and
it was up at his house. It was for Fourth
of July. And if you history buffs out there, no,
it's twenty oh two. So you history buffs out there,
you may have remembered what happened on September eleventh, two
(30:26):
thousand and one. You guys all remember, right, So he
had a Fourth of July party and it was still
on everybody's mind, the terrorism, the war that that dragged
us into. There was a lot going on. So he
had ordered food to be cater He wanted to cater
his party. And he's still live in a beautiful house.
(30:48):
I don't know if he still does up above the
Rose Bowl. And I went to his house for a
little while, and he had it catered and the food
was sensational, and all the waiters and waitresses they were
all wearing Hawaiian shirts, Hawaiian pants, and Hawaiian lays, and
everything was decorated in Hawaiian. And then the buffet opened
(31:10):
and everybody got food. And I said to a Kent,
I go, hey, Kent, this is a great party. Everybody said,
it's a Hawaiian theme. Everybody's decked out in Hawaii. I said,
but this food's not Hawaiian and he said, yeah, I know,
it's it's Middle Eastern, but it's too early, and so
he asked all of the guys that were serving the
(31:33):
Middle Eastern food to dress up as Hawaiians and it
was odd odd I do remember that strange, strange moment.
But Fourth of July at the Rose Bowl is always
a great event. They have some of the most spectacular
fireworks in the country, perhaps in the world. But there's
a change because of what the fire is and the
(31:55):
dry season that we're having in the hot summer. But
those fire year that happened in Pacific Palisades and out
in Auta, Dina and Malibu, they've had an effect on everybody,
including the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
It's hosted one of these shows for almost one hundred years.
But guess what, it's coming to an end this year.
There will be no fireworks this year, marking the end
of a longtime tradition. Instead, they're going to do a
drone light show.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Chris.
Speaker 10 (32:17):
Concerns about air pollution, the environment impact that have led
to the shift drone shows have been added.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Are we going to start doing that now we're not
going to have fireworks show because of the environmental impact.
They're going to do a drone light show.
Speaker 10 (32:29):
There's concerns about air pollution, the environment impact that.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The environmental impact. We can't have one day where we
celebrate the birth of this country, we celebrate Independent's Day,
celebrate July fourth without having to worry about the environment impact.
The environmental impact, the environment.
Speaker 10 (32:48):
Impact that have led to the shift. Drone shows have
been added have been a dud to some communities, where
Dondo Beach and Laguna Beach also switched back to fireworks.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
After trying them out. That's right, because people hate it.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
It's tough. It is fly balloons anymore. You can't do five.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
That's right. This woman's on my side. I like this woman.
I don't know who she is, but she's right. She
you know, she likes balloons. I like balloons. You can't
have balloons anymore. I can't even put my cigarette out
in the sand at the beach. This word, yeah, the
world's my ashtray, for God's sakes.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
It's tough.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
It is fly balloons anymore. You can't do fireworks, I
will say.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
I mean for the Rose Bowl especially. I mean, you
have the sand gable of out the san Gable mountains
and things like that, with all the fire danger and
things like that, like fireworks does post it does pose a.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Right please, for God's sakes, how many fires have been
caused by Rose Bowl fireworks? We looked that up real quick,
zero zero and now the environmental impact. God is a
city lame on a lot of different levels. That's just
another one. A drone show. Great, all right, well, looking
(33:57):
forward to the big uh finale with the drone show
and the drone show. After you see the guy riding
a bicycle, after you see a car wrote riding by
and a fake firework, you're like, this sucks. So that's
where we are. No fireworks, drones. All right, We're live,
keep an eye in Los Angeles. It's hot and getting hotter,
(34:21):
and we'll keep an eye on it all night long
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
