Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
it's Conway Show. We've got some mischief makers going on
in Van Eyes. Van Eyes. Guys just trying to enjoy themselves,
you know, running an underground casino, and the cops show up,
try to break it up. Guys are just looking to

(00:23):
get a little fun, have a little fun.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Late morning on Valerio Street, in an industrial neighborhood off Valjean,
dozens of people led out to the sidewalk by LAPD.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Officers, hands cuffed.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Alan Parness and his wife Sandy owned the building next door.
And we're watching it unfold on security cameras.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
All right, so what's going on?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
And I'm thinking, boy, something big is going on.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
I didn't know why.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
This all started when police responded to an unrelated burglary
alarm call a block over. When officers arrived, they spotted
the person they were searching for heading north on the rooftops.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh here we go. The rooftop. You know, it looked
like something out of the movies, jumping from one rooftop
to another, run away from the cops.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
But when they came to this building, they stumbled out
of something they didn't expect.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Illegal casino games and that sort of evidence.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Molesta, who were they hurting? You know, guys going in
there playing an illegal slot machine, maybe a poker or
a round of cards or something. I don't know who
the victim is here, and in my mind, no victim,
no crime. I don't understand shutting these guys down.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Melissa Cruz is one of the people detained. She says
they look like little kid games to her.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
Can go to Chuck and.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Cheese or Shakings and they have similar.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Games and they own law.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
In your mind, this is not gambling.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Late.

Speaker 7 (01:41):
I mean, it's like a boys and girls club for
leg adults.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Whatever it was the Eltie, that's a great explanation. It's
a boys and girls club for adults.

Speaker 8 (01:50):
It's like a boys and girls club for lego Baltic.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I like that off it's a guy or gal where
I said that. I like that. Whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
The LAPD says it's illegal. They're calling it an underground
casino operating under the cover of darkness. The Parnessa's said
they had no idea what was going on next door.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
But okay, look, if the business next door to them
and this has been going on, they say, maybe months,
could be years. If the business next door to them
had no idea what was going on, that means they
were keeping it on the down though, and they're keeping
it quiet. They weren't bothering the neighbors. Why shut them down?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
They're calling it an underground casino operating under the cover
of darkness, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And then they interviewed the couple that owns the building
next door.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
The Parnessa's said they had no idea what was going
on next door, but in hindsight, maybe.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
There were some clues. Okay. But they were being quiet,
they were being nice. They weren't littering, they weren't smoking outside,
they weren't playing loud music. They were just going in
and risking part of their paycheck on the outcome of
certain events. That's what they're doing.

Speaker 9 (02:53):
We know that they had the place turned around in
three days after the last people moved out, but we
didn't know what was going on at all.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Like Melissa was processed by police right out here on
the street, along with dozens of others.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Not a name you easily associate with an under a
ground casino. Cheyenne, that's that's a new one.

Speaker 10 (03:13):
Like Melissa.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Cheyenne was processed by police right out here on the street,
along with dozens of others.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And I will say this, I saw the footage of
this BELLI you can confirm this that Cheyenne looks like
a model. Yes, I mean she looks like she could
be in like, you know, Sports Illustrated Yes, or Vogue, Yes,
or Vogue or whatever. The model magazines are nowadays very
rarely do you see like a hot model who's in

(03:39):
her twenties, like at a casino like this named.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Cheyenne, along with dozens of others, then released with a
court date later.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I just got a citation.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, being present in illegal gambling place. Could you win money?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
You can, but I mean usually if people don't really
need Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
This guy's not winning anything. Do you have a link.
I'm surprised I've never been rolled up in one of
these things. You know, the cops come in and arrest everybody.
I am shocked that I've reached this far in my
life where I've not been, you know, arrested after one
of these deals. Could you win money? No, of course,
they don't win money. Look, they're losers. They're losers like me.

(04:23):
We're losers. We don't win money. We just go in
there and spend. Do you have the video? Yeah, they're
videos that you can see the video, Oh okay, and
you can see Cheyenne she looks like a swimsuit bottle.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
You can, but I mean easily. People don't really need.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
We did see some people handcuffed and actually taken into custody.
It's not clear who they were, perhaps proprietors, which I
could be facing some more serious charging.

Speaker 10 (04:49):
I've in Van Eyes Gordon took.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Leave these people alone. Aren't there enough buildings and stores
being robbed and people being robbed and cars getting stolen?
We're going concentrate on that. Leave the Cheyenne swimsuit models
who are gambling in an underground casino and Van Eyes alone.
They're just enjoying themselves, all right. If you eat well,
which I don't. You don't smoke, you don't drink, you

(05:14):
don't do anything like that, you can still well listen
to this Belly. It was very important because you're part
of this. If you do everything well like Belly O.
She eats well, she sleeps well. She, you know, eats
sushi all the time. You like sushi. And but if
you're a couch potato like I've known you and John

(05:34):
to be, you sit her on that couch watching Netflix
all night, you could still be at risk. So you
gotta get up off that couch. Yeah, you gotta get
on that peloton.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
Exercise may not help protect your brain if you still
spend a lot of time sitting down.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Do you have a place crowsier, I'll bet you do.
Do you have a place in your house that's yours
on the couch or a chair?

Speaker 11 (05:54):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (05:54):
Yeah, but it usually was leftover after Jen claims hers.
Oh really, see, I've got my spot. The couch is
all worn out where I sit.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I got my table that I use, you know, put
my beer drink on there by, you know can of
you know, peanuts there.

Speaker 12 (06:10):
I got my whole area purell thankfully, because Jen picks
the same spot. Yeah, I have my spot, that's mine.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, Pelli. Do you have a spot at home where
you walk it's yours on the couch chair? Yes, yes,
and you've set that up nice.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's mine.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Do you have that couch I bet where you press
a button and it reclines.

Speaker 13 (06:27):
You.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
No, we have a chaise lounge that's mine.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Wow? Is that right? Wowhase loud?

Speaker 4 (06:36):
It's cozy.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
God, my, what a kept woman. Does John have a
spot in where he always sits the couch? Okay, all right?
He controls the who controls the flipper when you're watching TV?

Speaker 7 (06:47):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
John does? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
That's my kind of guy, my kind of guy. That
should be his job. Right?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Excuse me?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Why? Well, because you huh? I just think that he's
probably better at controlling it. Like my wife, doesn't you know?
She tries to do fast the man. Yes, yes, but
my wife tries to do the fast forward and then
it goes too far and then it goes too far back,
and it goes too far forward.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
And you never do you know how to hit that?

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I hit the post. I hit the post. Commercial count
during my shows one, two, three, four commercials. Bang, we're
right back into the show, right back.

Speaker 14 (07:26):
Watch your shows or her shows, or do you have
shows you watch together?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I watch my shows. She watches hers, either in her
office or up in the bedroom. And that's, as Jimmy
Fox would say, with the Kings, and that's how they
get it done.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Research led by a scientist at the University of Pittsburgh
found that people who spent more time sitting around were
more likely to experience cognitive decline.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh no, I'm doomed.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
Whether they exercise regularly or not. The link between sitting
and cognitive decline was especially people with a particular genetic.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Risks factor for Alzheimer's.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
The studies authors say, the good news is reducing your
sitting time could be a great strategy for reducing your
risk of developing dimntion.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Glenn, what did you say they're doing it being your
risk of developing dimition? Oh, dementia. I used the B word.
That's my guy, Glenn Walker, and they one o'clocker with
Glenn Walker overrun kt LA. So you got to get
off the couch. Can't spend all day now how much
you eat well and you sleep well and you don't

(08:34):
drink or smoke, If you sit on that couch, it
could catch up to you at the end. So gotta
get off that couch. Ma'm I don't know what you do,
but gotta get off that couch.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI
AM sixty.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I just learned something about Bellio that I didn't know before.
You know, when you go to Target and you use
one of their cards, there's a perimeter that they've set
up around Target where you can only go to like
one hundred and fifty feet away from the store. Visible
fence yep, and then your cart stops working. Yeah you
don't like that. I don't what do you want? You
just want him to roll forever? Well, no, and I

(09:12):
understand you got the bigger fence. I understand why they
do that. But I've had a short stop before. Okay, yeah,
you know I went to marshall to steal a shopping cart. No,
she's trying to get it back to her.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
I was cleaning it up.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh you were, I do that.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
I put things back.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I went to Marshall's the other day and I walked
in and the guard said hey Tim, and I said, hey, Juno,
how are you? And he says good, I'm working two jobs.
I'm working here, I'm also working at the Burbank Airport. Like,
oh that's nice, saving some money. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
saving some money. I said, oh, right, well, ding dong

(09:53):
with you? And he said ding dong And I moved
on and my wife said, how do you know the
guard at.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Marshall's and know him so well?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
And I said. He asked me one day, are you
on KFI? And he said yeah, and he said, can
I get a picture there? I said yeah, and then
we took a picture and I sent it to him
on my phone and so I have him in my
phone and he's under Marshall's guard Juno, and I just
know the guy. He says, got it, mighty man, it's everybody.

(10:30):
And I said, okay, all right. Well he's a nice kid,
good kid working two jobs, Bellia, good for him. He
works at Marshall's all day, then he works at night.
He works like seventeen hours a day of this kid,
you know, saving money and buy a house. He'll be
wealthier than every boy for everybody. Absolutely, you won't have
to shop at Marshall's when he gets older. But the

(10:54):
line at Marshall's goes on and on and on. In
some of these stores, Marshall and that Nordstrom rack, there's
like eighty people in line and that, and I'm so
turned off by that. I never buy anything, but Belli
I will. I will say this, I really appreciate what

(11:14):
you do at some of these stores. Thank you, where
if you see a cute outfit, you'll move it up front.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Well, I put it at the end of the rack.

Speaker 14 (11:22):
So give a suggestion, like this top would look cute
with these pants, and maybe this like scarf.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
You're decorating the place. I am.

Speaker 14 (11:31):
Yeah, I'm quietly straightening and cleaning and designing.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
We go to Walmart and I was working my ass
off last night returning stuff your second job, you know,
because the guy doesn't want pickles anymore, and now it's
in detergent, he doesn't want bacon anymore, and now it's
in yogurt, and I'm just moving stuff back to where
they should be.

Speaker 14 (11:53):
There's something wrong with you and I I know, I know,
or they should hire us.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know what I do on Sunday night, literally put
on rubber gloves and I take a trash bag and
I walk around the neighborhood cleaning up.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
I do that every morning on our walks with the dogs.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And sometimes people stop and say, hey, you know, thank
you for doing that, And I said, oh, you have
you know, no problem, and I wouldn't be doing it
unless there are pigs out there.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Exactly. I've only had two people thank me for doing it.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But there's there are a lot of people who will
eat fast food on our street or in our alley,
and then as soon as they're done with it, they
throw the bag out right on the street.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
A lot of lids and straws.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, exactly a lot. Yeah, And they don't even think about,
you know, what they're doing, or else that nobody's brought
them up properly.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Or they don't care that someone else has to pick
it up.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Like I would. My daughter would never do that, but
if I ever caught her doing that, I would be
I would feel like I was a loser.

Speaker 14 (12:56):
And what's really sad is there are trash Spencer's dumpsters.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Very clear everywhere, but nobody wants to walk the twenty
thirty feet to throw it away.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
I don't understand they're.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Everywhere thinking we have like literally fifteen trash cans in
the alley, they can put it in any of those.

Speaker 14 (13:14):
Camp No, they'drive And then a lot of people just
like clean out their car, well they're parked at the curb,
they just like push everything out of their car.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I don't understand when that happened, because when I was younger,
it wasn't that way. It just you know, people weren't littering.
I want to go to a Burbank City Council meeting
and I haven't been able to because I don't get
off work early enough. Maybe up tomorrow. They have on Tuesdays,
I think, or every other Tuesday, and I want to
tell the Burbank City Council. You know, they do a

(13:43):
good job. You know, Burbank's a great place to live.
But when people come to Burbank or they leave Burbank,
the first thing they see or the last thing they
see when you come to Burbank or leave Burbank is
the freeway on ramp or off ramp, and that's where
most of the trash is it and it's it gives

(14:05):
people the idea that people in Bourbank don't care about
how filthy it is, and that's not true. They do care.
But there should be a group of people and I'm
I'm willing to volunteer to keep the on ramps and
the off ramps looking good. That's there. The introduction to
ninety five percent of the people is getting off freeway

(14:27):
or getting on a freeway and they're filled with trash, mattresses, TVs,
trash everywhere. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, and I'd volunteer.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
For free you out too, Yes.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I'd go out there every Sunday and pick up stuff.
But I don't know. It doesn't seem to work. Because
I go out there the next weekend, there's even more
the next day. Yeah, I don't know why people are.
I don't know what the I don't know if there's
a high that comes along with that when you litter
or not. I just don't know. I don't know. We've
got some cry time crime. Crime everywhere. Crime now hits

(15:02):
the Nike store. Nike takes a hit.

Speaker 10 (15:06):
Two people have been arrested over a burglary at a
Nike store in downtown LA. Police believe the pair is
also connected to another burglary at a different shoe store
in Compton.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
I wonder why nobody's coming to La anymore.

Speaker 10 (15:18):
This happened early yesterday morning. When officers got there, the
thieves ran out of the store, triggered a high speed pursuit. Eventually,
several people got out of the car tried to run away.
Officers were able to rest two people and recover merchandise
from the car.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
There you go a lot of that breaking and entering.
I saw it at a shoe store, another shoe store
in Hollywood on Melrose. They're getting beat up a lot.
A lot of these stores are getting just worked are
the five Freeway repairs could impact your drive this week
on the five.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Your commute could get complicated. Parts of the five Freeway
will be closed for road repairs. Cal Transit is planning
for the overnight closures in the cities of Commerce, Downey,
and Santa Fe Springs. It will all begin on Monday
night and continue every night until next Friday.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
That's tonight.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
During that time, the road will be reduced to just
three lanes for six and a half miles. People in
the area may hear some loud noise and field vibrations
during the construction. This is all part of the pavement
rehabilitation project on the five Freeway from the six oh
five to Atlantic.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know, I don't know how Orange County is able
to put it together, and we couldn't in La County.
But every time I drive down to Orange County the freeways,
there's one part of the freeway where I think it's
the four h five meets like right between the six
oh five and whatever that next southern freeway is near Westminster,

(16:48):
the twenty two. I think there's nine lanes of traffic
going north and nine lanes of traffic going south and
it's very rarely crowded. But in Orange County they've been
able to pave their streets, their highways, their freeways, and
their roads. Where I drove back from Wango Tango, which

(17:12):
is the concert that iHeart puts on in Huntington Beach,
and I drove from Huntington Beach to the four or
five freeway up Beach Boulevard, it was like glass. There
was not a single pothole anywhere, and there were cops
all over the place too. So if you misbehave cops
are going to pull you over and straighten out your behavior.

(17:35):
So they've got secure streets, they've got beautifully paved streets,
and they got wide open freeways. And why don't we
have that in LA. We've got a lot of money,
We had a lot of wealthy people live in LA.
I don't know why we don't either demand it or
what's happened where we were not offered that, but they

(17:57):
are in Orange County. It seems like a different world
Orange County, but here's a warning to you if you
live in Orange County. I've said this a million times.
Don't let Orange County become La County. And it's getting there.
It's slowly getting there. I see it when I go
to Orange County. You've got to do everything you can

(18:17):
to prevent that from happening. Don't let it become like
La County. Filthy, dangerous, not a good place to raise kids.
You've got to keep Orange County and fight, fight, fight,
fight to keep that county beautiful. And if you stop fighting,
it'll look like La County in about ten years. So
you have to do You have to be proactive and

(18:39):
keep fighting. I know you get a lot of crap
for it on social media, and maybe your neighbors will
give you a lot of crap for it. Ignore them.
Keep Orange County beautiful, but don't stop fighting. Don't stop
keep it great.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kfi A.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
There's pot shops all over the place, most of them
not legal, most of them not sanctioned by the city
or the county, but I think this one was, and
this one is celebrity owned. A celebrity owns a pot
shop and it got hit. Let's find out which celebrity
who got hit, who lost money.

Speaker 9 (19:22):
The dispensary is owned by actor Woody Harrelson along with
a few other partners. Nobody got hurt overnight and the
whole thing.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
All right, it's not a big leap to see that
Woody Harrelson owns his own pots shop, his own pot stores.

Speaker 9 (19:36):
It was caught on surveillance video.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
Take a look.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
The woods is back in business just.

Speaker 9 (19:41):
A couple of days after being burglarized early Saturday morning.
The dispensary was open after crews were able to clean
up what the robbers did. It was a smashing grab
that was all caught on surveillance cameras. Today, customers are
back in by the dispensary that's owned by Woody Harrelson
and a group of his partners. This will robbery happen
early Saturday morning, around four point thirty. The video shows

(20:04):
one person looking for a window to go through, armed
with the screwdriver. Window was broken and then four other
guys rushed into the dispensary.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Well, that's look that you can kill two birds with
one stone. That's what people who are in the crime
game like. They like money and drugs, and if you
can get both of them in the same place, that's
a ding dong with this robbery.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
Once the window was broken, the first person was joined
by four others there. According to one of the partners
we spoke with today, the thieves got away with between
two thousand to three thousand dollars worth of merchandise. One
of the partners just a short while ago describes what
the thieves were able to do and get.

Speaker 11 (20:45):
They went in and they just randomly took stuff off
the shelves. So while there was a lot of mess
from the broken glass, nobody was hurt. They got merchandized,
but they didn't actually damage too much inside.

Speaker 15 (20:57):
I think it's the sign of the times for sure,
that everybody angry, nobody's nobody's friendly like we used to be.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
I think that.

Speaker 15 (21:06):
I think it has to be stopped.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, Belly, this woman took the words right out of
your mouth. You always say this.

Speaker 15 (21:14):
I think it's a sign of the times for sure,
that everybody's angry.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Okay, you said that during the last break. You came
in here and said that. Yeah, you said, everyone's angry.
It's the sign of the times.

Speaker 15 (21:22):
Nobody's nobody's friendly like we.

Speaker 14 (21:25):
Used to be.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
You said that, nobody's friendly like they used to be.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think it has to be stopped, you know, Belly,
you said that word for word.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Well, I think a lot of people feel the same way, okay.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Or are you just putting an audio and then just
coming in here and saying those words like you sometimes
created that times sometimes you do.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Make you seem like I'm really.

Speaker 13 (21:48):
On top k And I just think recently in the
last year, it just feels like you can't go anywhere
without thinking about the possibility of a smash and grab
or some sort of a crime. It's really sad.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yes, it's true, and I have a theory, and I
think it holds up old people. They don't go out anymore.
They don't like to be robbed, they don't like to
be run into, they don't like to have a fender bender.
Then they got to get out and see what's going on.
Then a guy robs him. They don't like their pin
numbers stolen when they're pumping gas or whatever. Old people

(22:25):
have had it with going out in LA. They don't
go out anymore. They get all their grocery shopping, all
their clothes, They go to the mall during the day
and then they tuck themselves. As soon as that sun
goes down, they shut themselves in that house and they
lock it up. They lock it up. You know, we
had a guy from LAPD I think it was Alan

(22:48):
Hamilton that said this the King of All Detectives or LAPD.
You know that thirty eight percent of homes that get
robbed thirty eight percent through a door that wasn't locked,
thirty eight percent, almost forty percent. And I used to

(23:08):
tell this my wife all the time. She's gotten very
good about it in the last year or so, but
she would literally leave our house, go over, walk to Starbucks,
and then walk back and she would leave the door
open or unlocked. And I said, sweetie, I said, you
can't do that. You can't do that. You have to
lock it every time you leave, even if you're going
to your car, wherever you're going, it has to be locked.

(23:29):
And she got the message. She got it. But some
people they do that, you know, they are like, oh,
I'm just going to walk the dogs. I don't have
to lock up here. You do. You have to lock up.
You got to lock up every time you leave your house.
Every time, because that's thirty eight percent is a lot.
That's nearly four forty percent. That's two out of every

(23:49):
five burglaries a guy comes through a door that's been
left open. That's unbelievable.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
How high that number is, Hey, mister Bourman tells, is
that of a sister Dispa entry in Santa Monica over
the weekend that one, maybe by the same crew, was
broken into as well.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh, they got them both. They hit both of the
Woody Harrelson pot shops over the weekend.

Speaker 9 (24:13):
With their fire shots at the crew. But no word
of anybody of any one of those suspected thieves was injured.
Again this one, nobody got hurt. Back in business reporting
live in West Holly when I'm sid Garcia, ABC seven
Eyewitness News.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
There you go, all right? Then we have this Mexican
naval ship that hit the bridge, the George Washington Bridge.
I believe that was a big deal in New York.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
From multiple angles. What is going on? A slow motion
catastrophe playing out at the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
In Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, Yeah, got hit by
this big tall sailing ship from the Mexican Navy.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Credulous New Yorkers watching as a Mexican naval training ship
on a good will tour and its trio of one hundred
and sixty foot tall mass crumbling in heart stopping fashion
under one of the most famous bridges in the world.
Divers were launched protectively, though NYPD officials say all two

(25:17):
hundred and seventy seven people on board were accounted for.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
That seems like a lot of people on a sailboat.
Two hundred and seventy seven people.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Crew members who appear to have been on the topmost
rung can be seen swinging violently in video shared online,
as many others were left dangling. The Mexican Navy has
confirmed two people so far have died, with nearly a
dozen in critical condition.

Speaker 8 (25:38):
The captain that was maneuvering the ship lost, I guess
power of the ship and the current mechanical function caused
the ship to go right into the pillar of the bridge.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, that's got to millions of dollars worth of repair,
So that's very, very expensive repair that ship.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Witnesses simply stunted by what they were seeing.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
They saw the top of the snap off and its
like on snabbing.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
In video taken before the crash. You can see crew
members blanketing those very masks.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
They're all celebrating.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
People were like dancing and singing, but there was people
on the mask.

Speaker 13 (26:15):
Standing up and it hit the top shelf and the
mask came down.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
And the people were just hanging from there.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Overnight, a vigil to honor the cadets and crew members
killed and those injured. As the New York Emergency Management
Commissioner tells NBC News, the quick reaction from first responders
likely saved lives.

Speaker 16 (26:34):
They were on scene almost immediately, helping get critically injured
patients off of the ships onto the pier. Getting them
into the hospitals was incredibly well orchestrated by the f
and ryan EMS and NYPD harbor units.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
It's also amazing how many people videotape that they're literally
hundreds of angles of that ship hitting that bridge.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Now, the US Coast Guard guys tells us.

Speaker 17 (26:56):
That foreign ships do require tug escorts depending upon the vessel,
and in this case, that Mexican ship that crashed into
the Brooklyn Bridge did have a tug as sport that
very likely might be part of the NTSP investigation. As
for the structural integrity of the famous bridge. Official say
right now, it is not damaged and traffic is falling freely.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's amazing that there was a tugboat on that ship
and it still hit the bridge. That is highly unusual.
Those tugs are tremendously powerful and could have pulled that
ship clear of that bridge. That's going to be this
gonna be a big investigation into this, especially when you
get people dying like they did.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
It is The Conway Show. Over the weekend, the big
story was this guy in Palm Springs that blew up
one of those fertility clinics and destroyed a lot of
these surrounding buildings. So the question is how did this guy,
how did twenty five year old how does he know

(28:02):
to make a bomb like that? And how were those
chemicals purchased? Well, the suspect in Saturday's bombing at Palm
Springs that right outside of the fertility clinic. He was
a rocket hobbyist with radical views and an extraordinary amount
of high range explosives that appeared to have been used

(28:24):
with precision in his attack. According to a law enforcement
the FBI on Monday, That's Today said that DNA testing
confirmed that the twenty five year old suspect, Guy Barkas
was killed in the explosion that tore through the American
Reproductive Centers building and injured four people in the resort

(28:46):
city of Palm Springs. The bombing, which occurred when the
clinic was closed, is being investigated as an international terrorism act.
An hour away a small desert town, twenty nine Palms.
A lot of people in Palm Springs a very familiar
with twenty nine Palms. FBI agent agents continued to comb
through a house that records indicate he shared with his mom,

(29:10):
where they've recovered explosive materials. Nearby residents in the blast
zone said that some people were allowed to return to
their homes on Monday afternoon, but in the days after
the bombing. It remains unclear how this kid, barks acquired
the massive, deadly cachet of material of chemicals to make

(29:32):
this bomb. He had to know something about bomb making,
a lot about it. Twenty nine Palms is the home
of the Marine Corps out there, I think a lot
of people know that. And there was ten pounds of
plastic explosives that had vanished from twenty nine palms and
plastic explosives very very very powerful, but then they found it,

(29:54):
so they ruled that out. But a bomb expert with
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives said
that the suspects proximally Proximity to the military base is
a natural line of inquiry for investigators. Materials from nearby
military training areas and firing ranges can also be used

(30:17):
to make explosives. And then he also said that he
worked in a similar case early in his ATF career.
This guy with the ATF which the suspects built pipe
bombs from spent ammunition and use them in attacks across
southern California as far as way as Chicago. But if
it turns out it's from the Internet or the dark

(30:38):
web or YouTube or something like that, there's really little
that anybody can do. Hobbyists, which this kid was one
and others, can buy most of these chemicals used to
make explosives right online, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission
they regulate companies that sell the material, but there's little oversight,
little to no oversight on those who buy the chemicals

(31:02):
and use them to make explosives. There's one major vendor
out there, Skylighter, that warns customers that federal regulations require
it to scrutinize all orders for possible use in constructing
M eight's or other illegal exploding fireworks. But even if
this kid bark is we're researching or buying a bomb

(31:24):
making materials without trying to cover his tracks online, the
general public would be disappointed and surprised to know how
easy it is to do this, and so they're going
to keep looking into, you know, how this kid was
able to do it. But the suspect could have done
this by parking his car with the trunk angled so

(31:46):
it was facing the back of the building. And then,
based on testing from ATF which they're still conducting out there,
the blast zone is going to be very key to
what went on there. One pound pound will breach the
gas tank, one pounds of these chemicals, Ten pounds will
obliterate the car, the inside of the car, the outside

(32:09):
of the car. Twenty pounds will punch through the asphalt
underneath the car. So it had to be at least
twenty thirty forty maybe fifty pounds, and the high intensity
the palm springs explosion is a potential bomb using bomb
making materials used, said the owner of the Pyrotechnic Gum company.

(32:33):
That this bomb was made by somebody who knew what
he was doing. Remember Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma bombing
that killed one hundred and sixty eight people. That was
back in nineteen ninety five. That bomb was detonated. It
blew apart the entire building. But that bomb was four
eight hundred pounds, that's what it weighed, four eight hundred pounds.

(32:56):
You couldn't get forty eight hundred pounds of anything inside
that that you know, twenty ten car that he was
tooling around in. So they're going to continue to investigate this,
but you know, access to commercial grade materials for explosives
like this, they've got to change the rules if this
is going to be a hobbyist loophole, or is this

(33:18):
going to you know, is this going to be buying
a bunch of material sending it to different addresses and
skirting the regulation that the Feds have set up. They're
going to have to look at this because they can't
they can't tolerate this anymore. That could have been a
potentially a major disaster. If that kid had done that

(33:40):
at a sporting event or at a concert or an
awards show in Hollywood, you know, God forbid Emmy's Oscars, Grammys, Tony's,
whatever it is, and that bomb had gone off in
the middle of a very crowded area, you could been
looking at ten, twenty thirty, maybe one hundred or hundreds
of people killed. So that's why they're investigating. As long

(34:05):
as they are. The streets are going to be closed
for quite some time because they got to get to
the bottom of this. They got to figure out how
this dope, how this kid was able to do that,
and how he had that kind of powerful bomb inside
that little tiny car of his that blew out windows,
you know, literally five six hundred yards away from where
he was. Very powerful, extremely powerful. So they'll get to

(34:28):
the bottom of that, and hopefully they'll change the rules
so nuts like that can't destroy any more lives. We
are live on KFI A six forty. Moe Kelly up
next right here on KFI AM six forty
