Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Jim McDonald's
now speaking a little more. Let's crank that up and
CEF has anything interesting to say here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On mobilize the Office of Operations the biggest part of
the department at our motor officers. We're looking to expand
that with additional officers from within. We requested through the
sheriff mutual aid, which then is coordinated by the Office
of Emergency Management in the State O Yes, I'm sorry,
emergency services with the sheriff and they bring in then
(00:38):
surrounding communities and in this case counties to be able
to help supplement our resources to deal with the issues
at hand.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
They are tremendous partners.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We've worked very closely together for the past couple of
days now and I think we have seen significant improvement
and things, and we will continue to watch for that
as we move forward.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We're hopeful with.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
This curfew that'll give us additional two as well to
be able to uh bring this chapter to a close.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So sure curfew tonight eight pm til six am.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
You mentioned officers being overwhelmed and you need to get
into a question where you can make large scale arrests
and then you are considering it said it was really
too old to term whether or not the National Guard
or necessary the district skin you just said, have you
reevaluated the potentially for the National Guard?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, and and the the UH.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I guess the sequence would be as as I mentioned,
we request mutual aid UH partner agencies from throughout, in
this case the seven county area UH. The next step then,
if we weren't able to handle the issue, is to
request through the governor, through the UH sheriff to the
governor UH in the emergency oees at the state National
(01:49):
Guard to be deployed. We are nowhere near that UH
in this UH in in this environment, we believe we
can do what we need to do with the resources
and we now have access to and I think we've
seen and a dramatic increase and arrests over the last
couple of days. I believe that will continue and that
will help bring some order to what we've seen in
the past few days.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So no, thy gia, What's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm seeing where the Emergency Operations Center level view activation?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
What what does that mean to the people to know
we're at level two.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, there's anybody want to great probably more specifically choice.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
A Chief Child's Blake Child from Office Special Operations. So
just like our Department Operations Center across the hall, when
we get into an emergency that needs to be managed,
the EOC can be pushed up to a level two
and that means all the other city departments that work
for the mayor come in and have a wrapper and
we're able to coordinate city response to anything that's going
(02:50):
on within the city.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That's what level to us.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Let me just let me also just add a terror
question that you were asking. You know now that the government,
now that the President has taken over authority of the
National Guard Chief when you were describing the way it
should go now that has been disrupted, and I think
that that's important. I know one of the things that
the Chief said that we're going to focus on is
(03:14):
trying to gather as many local resources as possible, and
that includes Los Angeles Police officers and trying to boaster
the officers that will be stationed downtown because downtown is
where the crisis is right now.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yes, any other questions.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, all right, all right, there it is Mayor Baz
Chief McDonald and this curfew map tonight is huge. They're
downplaying it like, oh, it's not that big. It's a
square mile. No, it's not a square mile. I'm telling
you it's not. It goes north of Dodger Stadium where
the five and the one oh one meet. You know,
(03:53):
when you get out of Dodger Stadium, you go north
towards the valley and you get on the five, you
get on the I'm sorry, the one ten freeway. You
take the one ten freeway and the one ten and
the five the Arroyo what is it called Grand Arroyo
Seiko Center the freeways go. So that's where the one,
(04:13):
the one ten, and the five. That's the northern point
of the curfew. And then it's east of the one ten,
north of the ten, and then the ten and the
five on the east. So the west, the western flank
of this curfew box is the one ten from the
(04:37):
ten all the way to the five, the one ten
from the ten to the five, that's your western flank.
Then on the south it's the ten, and then on
the east it's the five. And it makes sort of
like it looks like a goalies mask you know the map,
(04:57):
but it's not a square mile. It's bigger than a
square mile, and it encompasses everything outside of Dodgers Stadium,
everything in downtown. That includes the Spectrum, I'm sorry, it
includes some Disney Hall. It includes a city hall at
(05:18):
Crypto dot Com. All the high rises, every single high
rise downtown is in this box. The train station is
in it. It's it's huge. We can back. We'll talk
to Petros. He left here about an hour ago, driving
back home to where he lives in San Pedro. He's
(05:41):
a wharf nut on San Pedro, runs on the wharfs
down there in San Pedro, and we'll talk to him
because he has to take side streets home because there's
too much traffic. Because people can't behave in this out.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And there is a curve few in downtown Los Angeles
to night tonight from eight pm until six a m.
You cannot be anywhere in downtown. You cannot be east
of the one, ten, north of the ten, or west
of the five Freeway, or you'll get arrested unless you
(06:22):
have a pretty good case. And why you gotta be
down there. You're gonna be arrested rodan jail. You knew
the rules, you knew the boundaries. Mahalo. Let's talk to Petros.
He's left here with Petro some money. He left her
an hour ago trying to get back to San Pedro.
He lives in the wharf there in San Pedro. And
let's see how far he's gotten. Pee, where are you, Bob?
Speaker 8 (06:45):
I'm a real wharf we're at That's what I am, brother,
I'm I gotta be honest, guys. The five was a
real nightmare, and the one thirty four was a bad scene.
But the one caron all the way through downtown, the
one ten south was COVID level light.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Yeah, I think it's like Carmageddon for the eighty four Olympics.
People have just decided to steer clear of the area. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
So I'm all the way down in Gardena towards Torrance,
the one ten in rows praying.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fool, buddy. Did you see anything when you went through downtown?
Was there any action?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
You know? I saw helicopters in the sky and I
was listening to the Venerable Mayor on your air and
the Irish gentleman who is the police chief, almost like
I'm listening to La Confidential, you know, Old Dudley Smith,
but uh, played by James Cromwell. But yes, it was.
(08:01):
I didn't see anything other than the fact that the
one ten and now I know the Dodgers are in
San Diego tonight for a big game. But the one
ten seemed pretty pretty light going both ways and not
a lot of action downtown. But I saw the helicopters
in the sky. Hey, you know, looked over at twin
twin Towers and I knew it was going down over there,
(08:24):
but I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, you're a smart man, Hey, I know that you
know that we cover it here because we're a news station.
Are you guys covering it on five seventy am? Are
you still doing Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson? Who's better?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah, that's what we did for the first two hours
of today's show, was we took calls on Michael Jordan
b Magic Johnson, which is, as you know, mister Thompson,
he's a very very heated subjects for the years.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Know, we figured we'd bring our own heat to this
civil unrest. Magic Johnson versus Michael Jordan, who played in
kind of different eras, but but they did play against
each other, and then for the other half hour or
so we just parted around.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Hey, can I ask you a sports question?
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Yeah, uh, you sure can. Is it Magic Johnson versus Jordan?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Not yet, but that might be. The second one is
is uh is DeMarcus Cousins the guy that was fighting
in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Yeah, she's very volatile.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What's going on with him?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
But he's always this I mean, you know, it seemed
like he got you know, yeah, I don't know if
it happened to you back in the little league, in
the Valley Little league days. You know, a guy competing
real hard in Puerto Rico, you know, and you're you're
far from home, and they're drinking the fruit of bonmaz. Yeah,
(09:59):
and the they're they're mocking you, and they're in their way.
You know, he lost control of himself. It's not the
first time an athlete has lost his mind, and it
won't be the last him. But well, you know, I'm
interested to see that you graduately gravitated toward that story.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I know that you mocked me, but when I was
playing Uh. You know in Sino Little League, we used
to eat drink our fruit Obamas as well.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Yeah, and a no hitter, didn't you, pitcher no hitter?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I was on Fruit Obama when I pitched the no hitter. Huh,
well there you go.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, just like uh, just just like that Pittsburgh Pirates
pitcher on the on the lsbah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
People often make that, People often make that similarity, that
that connection.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Yeah, well, you know, it's a valley legend. You know,
I've been around La long enough, I hear all the stories.
But to answer your question from earlier, before you start
calling me a wharf street again, uh, we touched lightly
on the on the various riots and things happening around.
Oh I see, okay, but we didn't you know, we
didn't point we didn't point the finger at anymore.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Well, dodgers on the road, right Petro, So they don't
have to worry.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
About the well, you know, so dodgers on the road,
you know, who cares if they're looting? Looting? You know,
I'm just I'm really glad I didn't go into that
weed dispensary discos out.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, let me ask you a question, and we
got to take a break because we got the the
governor coming on. But who has who has more guys
who are healthy that can throw the looters downtown? Are
the Dodgers?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Well you got to you know, those looters are not
finally tuned aplete. They might get a lucky throw here
and there, but you know when you're throwing a mop
off cocktail or a cinder block, or you know part
of the curve that you broke off with your skateboards. Uh,
you know, you're I mean, it's it's it's like horseshoes
(12:01):
and hand grenades, you know, close enough, right, You're just
you're trying to cause trouble. I day, what we're asking
from the Dodgers pictures is you know, it's a lot more.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But let me ask you something. Petro's on a very
serious note, you have a very rich history with your
family in Los Angeles. You were born here. Your dad
was a big, huge alum for a USC. He's off
in the area, he sings on Sunset Boulevard. I've witnessed
that firsthand. Don't you feel a sense of anxiety when
there's this kind of unrest in a city that we
(12:31):
were both born and raised in.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Yes? Uh, that being said, though, when the la riots
happened that I was in high school, I was handed
a gun which I did not know how to use. Wow,
and slept in a sleeping bag in my father's restaurant
for a couple of days as somebody through a manhole
cover through the window. We were you you know, what's that?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Were you eating that? That chicken rice soup?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, the ob glomano soup. Yeah, that's the only didn't
you kept us going? Jim, It's like but honikah with
the with the flame, that's right. And and uh, you
know at that time, my family also.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Owned seven days of that soup.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Yeah, yeah, seven How many days did they ride? And
that's how long the soup last? And uh and then
you know we also owned liquor stores in that time.
Oh so we had a little bit of a roof
rooftop Korean vibe as well.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I really know how to live, buddy.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
I'm just glad. I'm just glad my dad's an old
man and we don't own anything like that anymore. Then
I don't have to do that. So does that answer
your question?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It does, buddy. I appreciated the Governor's coming on Giant
stud and we'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Tell the governor, I say, he's just doing a backup job.
I just love this sety.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
All right, excellent, All right, there he goes Petros from
the Petros and Money Show. We get a first hit.
All right, unless the governor is coming on, Let's crank
it up here and hear what he has to say.
Here we go, Governor.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Newsome with the governor's audio. But as soon as we're
able to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Bad audio that address to you. Oh, all the stations
are bailing because the audio didn't work. Oh that's embarrassing.
Wait no, no, Fox and Channel five doesn't have it
on either Channel five channel eleven the audio. Let's try
Channel five. But it looks like the audio was a problem.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, the audio is a problem. The signals we're seeing video.
How about that? How about that? The governor is still speaking,
he's live on TV. We can see him, but we
can't hear him. They screwed up the audio. Can you
imagine how pissed he's going to be about that? That
he has a big announcement going out to the entire
(15:04):
country about Los Angeles and they can't get the audio right,
they couldn't get the audio right.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
I don't know who they is though, Wow, I just
don't know who.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
All right, We're gona take a quick break. We come back.
We'll have the governor speaking. But that's a major, major
screw up in California, the home of the best audio
technicians in the world.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
We got the governor back on now. I guess his
audio is working, so we're going to crank it up.
Governor news heavily Latino suburb.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
A similar scene played out when a clothing company was
raided downtown. In other actions, a US citizen nine months
pregnant was arrested, a four year old girl taken, families, separated,
friends quite literally disappearing. In response, every day, Angelino's came
out to exercise the constitutional right to free speech and
(16:02):
assembly to protest their government's actions. In turn, the state
of California and the City and County of Los Angeles
sent our police officers to help keep the peace, and
with some exceptions, they were successful. Like many states, California
is no stranger to this sort of unrest. We manage
(16:23):
it regularly and with our own law enforcement. But this
again was different. What then ensued was the use of
tear gas, flash bang grenades, rubber bullets, federal agents detaining
people in undermining their due process rights. Donald Trump, without
consulting California law enforcement leaders, commandeered two thousand of our
(16:47):
state's National Guard members to deploy on our.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Streets illegally and for no reason.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed
a combustible situation, putting our peace people, our officers, and
even our National Guard at risk.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's when the downward spiral began.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by
fanning the flames even harder, and the president he did
it on purpose. As the news spread throughout La, anxiety
for family and friends ramped up. Protests started again. By night,
several dozen lawbreakers became violent and destructive. They vandalized property,
(17:30):
They tried to assault police officers. Many of you have
seen the video clips of cars burning on cable news.
If you incite violence, I want to be clear about this,
If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you're going
to be held to account. That kind of criminal behavior
will not be tolerated full stop. Already, more than two
hundred and twenty people have been arrested, and we're reviewing
(17:51):
tapes to build additional cases, and people will be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Again, thanks to our law enforcement.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Officers and the majority of Angelinos who protested peacefully, the
situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a
few square blocks downtown.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
But that's not what Donald Trump wanted.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
He again chose escalation, He chose more force, He chose
theatrics over public safety. He federalized another two thousand Guard members.
He deployed more than seven hundred active US Marines. These
are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not
domestic law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We honor their service, we honor their.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Bravery, but we do not want our streets militarized by
our own armed forces.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Not in La not in California, not anywhere.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking, lots
kids afraid of attending their own graduation. Trump is pulling
a military drag net all across Los Angeles, well beyond
is stated intent to just go after violent and serious
criminals his agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses.
(19:12):
That's just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength. Donald Trump's government
isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities. And that
seems to be the entire point. California will keep fighting.
We'll keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of
our people, including in the courts. Just yesterday, we filed
(19:33):
a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American
troops to a major American city. Today, we sought an
emergency court order to stop the use of the American
military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.
If some of us could be snatched off the streets
without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color,
(19:56):
then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by
targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but
they do not stop there. Trump and as loyalists, they
thrive on division because it allows them to take more
power and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump,
he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as
(20:19):
it serves him. What more evidence do we need than
January sixth, ask everyone take time reflect on this perilous moment.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A president who wants to be bound by no law.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
Or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions. This
is a president who, in just over one hundred and
forty days has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable,
accountable for corruption and fraud. He's declared a war, a
war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself.
(20:55):
Databases quite literally are vanishing. He's delegitimizing news organizations, and
he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding
them at threat. He's dictating what universities themselves can teach.
He's targeting law firms and the judicial brands that are
the foundations of an orderly in civil society. He's calling
(21:17):
for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other
reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected.
And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes,
the United States military and forcing them to put on
a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other
failed dictators have done in the past. Look, this isn't
(21:41):
just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump
sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made
that order apply to every state in this nation.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
This is about all of us. This is about you.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
California may be first, but it clearly will not end
here other states. Our next democracy is next democracy is
under assault before our eyes.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
This moment we have feared has arrived.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
It's taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our
founding father's historic project, three co equal branches of independent government.
They're no longer any checks and balances. Congress is nowhere
to be found. Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility.
The rule of law has increasingly been given way to
(22:31):
the rule of don The founding fathers they didn't lived and.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Died to see this kind of moment.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
It's time for all of us to stand up. Justice
brandeis he said it best. In a democracy, the most
important office, with all due respect, mister President, is not
the presidency, and it's certainly not governor.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
The most important office is office of citizen.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
At this moment, at this moment, we all need to
stand up and be held to account a higher level
of accountability. If you exercise your First Amendment rights, Please please.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Do it peacefully.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress,
and fear, but I want you to know that you
are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What
Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence to
be complicit in this moment.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do not give in to him. Listening to president news
we had heard is.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That it okay, that's a wrap man a man oh man,
A lot too unpacked there. I have never in my
life heard a president, heard a governor go off on
a sitting president while people are rioting in the streets.
Never heard of it. I've never heard. He described the
parade coming up Saturday, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
(23:56):
This country's two hunred and forty nine years old. The
Army's two hundred and fifty years old. This Saturday, it
happens also be Trump's birthday, but it's the two hudred
and fiftieth anniversary of the Army. The god of a
parade in Washington, d C. And he called it vulgar.
He said, there's a war on the United States. And
(24:16):
he said, you know, Donald Trump is power hungry and
authoritarian regime. He called it, he's suing Trump. This sounds
like a speech you would give to rioters and say hey,
let's keep it going.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Well, it sounds like a political speech in part, and
I think it is a political speech in part. And
I think the other thing you're hearing is a governor
who's angry that a president has usurped his power like
the National Guard. No, I'm just trying to explain that
it's two components. I agree kind of with what you're
you're saying, which is there's a political component, and then
there is the reality that this guy is angry that
(24:49):
the president is usurped the power of the governor.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I've never heard him that angry before. He's really really pissed.
I hope the rioters didn't hear that speech. I mean,
that's gonna get a lot more people downtown. It's just
bad timing, bad timing. Oh my god. All right, we
got to take a final break here and then we'll
come back and wrap up the day. Remember the curfew
(25:15):
is eight pm. You have an hour and six fifteen
minutes to get out of that box. The ten, the one,
ten freeway, the five, and the ten you gotta get

minutes to do it. So if you don't have a car,

And Mark Thompson has just been notified that he's going
down there to make all the arrest that's wild.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
I gotta help, you know, when they need help, they
need help. The batbeam goes up, I gotta respond.

All right, Mark thoms will be down there with Petros

Hollywood Bowl dot com Hollywood Bowl dot com. Yes, okay,
we have a curfew, Mark, Yeah, you cannot go downtown.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
I'm not leaving the house tonight.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Okay, all right. It's not for the whole city of
la oh okay, it's just the downtown area. And let
me again try to describe it to you. It starts
where the one, ten and the five meet. That's the road,
that's the freeway you take when you leave Dodger Stadium.
You go north on the one ten, and then you
go north on the five and you go back to
I don't know, Tarzana and March Delhi and you can
(27:46):
enjoy yourself. So the five and the one ten is
the northern part of that box. Then the ten Freeway
on the south, So it's the one ten Freeway on
the west, the five Freeway on the north, the ten
Freeway on the south, and the five ten ish you know,
they combined there on the east. So it's the Mayor
(28:07):
Bass called it a square mile. It's larger than a
square mile. I guarantee you that to go from the
five Freeway where the one ten meets down to the
ten Freeway is not a mile. I drove a limousine
in this city for almost three years. And Mayor Bass
(28:29):
when she became mayor, she was taking a helicopter over
downtown Los Angeles. Remember when that big fire on the
overpath on the underpath and the ten freeway. She was
an helicopter observing Los Angeles and she said to the pilot,
she goes, hey, what is that And the guy said, oh,
that's the one ten Freeway and she goes, oh, that's
the one ten. I'm like, that's a major freeway not
(28:52):
to know that mayor baths. She's under a lot of pressure.
She is might look different from the air who Mayor. No,
I'm saying maybe she did. Confused. Oh right, But if
you're the mayor of LA you've got to you know,
if you're the mayor of New York City, wouldn't say, hey,
is that the George Washington Bridge? You should be able
to nail that. I always trying to right, Okay, look,
(29:16):
I'm gonna be honest with you. I you know, we
goof around here and a lot, but there's some very
serious problems going on in downtown Los Angeles. There are
a lot of people in downtown who have felt like
they've been left behind, and that's what's going on. They
can frame it with ice and the National Guard and
the fight between Trump and the hatred of Trump, and
(29:38):
the hatred of Newsom, and the hatred or love of
Mayor bas Or Jim McDonald with LAPD, A lot of
things are are close to the real reason why there's
riding going on downtown. But let me tell you the
real reason the people riding downtown Los Angeles have felt
and continue to feel like they've left behind. They Doug
(30:01):
Steckley used to say, the most dangerous people in this
world are people with nothing to lose, and you see
hundreds of them every night in downtown LA. They don't
have husbands or wives. They don't have homes. They have
an apartment that they have or they're staying with a buddy,
or they live at home, but they don't have their
own house. They don't have full time jobs that are
(30:24):
paying them enough a living wage. And that's who is downtown.
People who have been left behind by the system. And
as angry as you think they are, they're a billion
times angrier. And you see that in the last five
nights of rioting in downtown Los Angeles. Right now, there's
(30:44):
a prayer vigil going on in right near Grand Park,
right in front of a city hall there, and they
have to clear out that entire park. There's thousands of
people there. There's thousands of people in downtown LA, thousands
of people inside this bar, and you have one hour
and one minute to get out or you'll be arrested.
(31:05):
So get yourself a six pack. If you're listening right now,
get home by eight because you're gonna see a show
tonight that's unlike the show that we've seen for the
last five nights.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
I do think it's gonna be a lot tougher tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's gonna be wild and you're gonna witness it all
on TV tonight starting at eight pm with the curfew.
There will go to six am and welcome back tomorrow
at four o'clock and sum it up. But Moe Kelly
will be on the air when this curfew kicks in
in one hour and one minute from now. It's gonna
(31:39):
be a wild night. Mark Well, I think it will
be a lot tougher Monny. Thanks for coming in and
thanks for filling it with me when.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
I lost my mind, Leisure, I always miss you, but
always a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
This last portion of show is being brought to you
by Advanced Tair one day treatment, life changing results. Make
your appointment today Advanced Heare dot com Me Kelly next
right here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the Iheartrate Radio 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
(32:09):
the iHeartRadio app,
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Jim McDonald's
now speaking a little more. Let's crank that up and
CEF has anything interesting to say here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On mobilize the Office of Operations the biggest part of
the department at our motor officers. We're looking to expand
that with additional officers from within. We requested through the
sheriff mutual aid, which then is coordinated by the Office
of Emergency Management in the State O Yes, I'm sorry,
emergency services with the sheriff and they bring in then
(00:38):
surrounding communities and in this case counties to be able
to help supplement our resources to deal with the issues
at hand.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
They are tremendous partners.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We've worked very closely together for the past couple of
days now and I think we have seen significant improvement
and things, and we will continue to watch for that
as we move forward.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We're hopeful with.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
This curfew that'll give us additional two as well to
be able to uh bring this chapter to a close.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
So sure curfew tonight eight pm til six am.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
You mentioned officers being overwhelmed and you need to get
into a question where you can make large scale arrests
and then you are considering it said it was really
too old to term whether or not the National Guard
or necessary the district skin you just said, have you
reevaluated the potentially for the National Guard?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, and and the the UH.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I guess the sequence would be as as I mentioned,
we request mutual aid UH partner agencies from throughout, in
this case the seven county area UH. The next step then,
if we weren't able to handle the issue, is to
request through the governor, through the UH sheriff to the
governor UH in the emergency oees at the state National
(01:49):
Guard to be deployed. We are nowhere near that UH
in this UH in in this environment, we believe we
can do what we need to do with the resources
and we now have access to and I think we've
seen and a dramatic increase and arrests over the last
couple of days. I believe that will continue and that
will help bring some order to what we've seen in
the past few days.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So no, thy gia, What's.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm seeing where the Emergency Operations Center level view activation?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
What what does that mean to the people to know
we're at level two.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, there's anybody want to great probably more specifically choice.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
A Chief Child's Blake Child from Office Special Operations. So
just like our Department Operations Center across the hall, when
we get into an emergency that needs to be managed,
the EOC can be pushed up to a level two
and that means all the other city departments that work
for the mayor come in and have a wrapper and
we're able to coordinate city response to anything that's going
(02:50):
on within the city.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That's what level to us.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Let me just let me also just add a terror
question that you were asking. You know now that the government,
now that the President has taken over authority of the
National Guard Chief when you were describing the way it
should go now that has been disrupted, and I think
that that's important. I know one of the things that
the Chief said that we're going to focus on is
(03:14):
trying to gather as many local resources as possible, and
that includes Los Angeles Police officers and trying to boaster
the officers that will be stationed downtown because downtown is
where the crisis is right now.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yes, any other questions.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, all right, all right, there it is Mayor Baz
Chief McDonald and this curfew map tonight is huge. They're
downplaying it like, oh, it's not that big. It's a
square mile. No, it's not a square mile. I'm telling
you it's not. It goes north of Dodger Stadium where
the five and the one oh one meet. You know,
(03:53):
when you get out of Dodger Stadium, you go north
towards the valley and you get on the five, you
get on the I'm sorry, the one ten freeway. You
take the one ten freeway and the one ten and
the five the Arroyo what is it called Grand Arroyo
Seiko Center the freeways go. So that's where the one,
(04:13):
the one ten, and the five. That's the northern point
of the curfew. And then it's east of the one ten,
north of the ten, and then the ten and the
five on the east. So the west, the western flank
of this curfew box is the one ten from the
(04:37):
ten all the way to the five, the one ten
from the ten to the five, that's your western flank.
Then on the south it's the ten, and then on
the east it's the five. And it makes sort of
like it looks like a goalies mask you know the map,
(04:57):
but it's not a square mile. It's bigger than a
square mile, and it encompasses everything outside of Dodgers Stadium,
everything in downtown. That includes the Spectrum, I'm sorry, it
includes some Disney Hall. It includes a city hall at
(05:18):
Crypto dot Com. All the high rises, every single high
rise downtown is in this box. The train station is
in it. It's it's huge. We can back. We'll talk
to Petros. He left here about an hour ago, driving
back home to where he lives in San Pedro. He's
(05:41):
a wharf nut on San Pedro, runs on the wharfs
down there in San Pedro, and we'll talk to him
because he has to take side streets home because there's
too much traffic. Because people can't behave in this out.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And there is a curve few in downtown Los Angeles
to night tonight from eight pm until six a m.
You cannot be anywhere in downtown. You cannot be east
of the one, ten, north of the ten, or west
of the five Freeway, or you'll get arrested unless you
(06:22):
have a pretty good case. And why you gotta be
down there. You're gonna be arrested rodan jail. You knew
the rules, you knew the boundaries. Mahalo. Let's talk to Petros.
He's left here with Petro some money. He left her
an hour ago trying to get back to San Pedro.
He lives in the wharf there in San Pedro. And
let's see how far he's gotten. Pee, where are you, Bob?
Speaker 8 (06:45):
I'm a real wharf we're at That's what I am, brother,
I'm I gotta be honest, guys. The five was a
real nightmare, and the one thirty four was a bad scene.
But the one caron all the way through downtown, the
one ten south was COVID level light.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
Yeah, I think it's like Carmageddon for the eighty four Olympics.
People have just decided to steer clear of the area. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
So I'm all the way down in Gardena towards Torrance,
the one ten in rows praying.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Fool, buddy. Did you see anything when you went through downtown?
Was there any action?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
You know? I saw helicopters in the sky and I
was listening to the Venerable Mayor on your air and
the Irish gentleman who is the police chief, almost like
I'm listening to La Confidential, you know, Old Dudley Smith,
but uh, played by James Cromwell. But yes, it was.
(08:01):
I didn't see anything other than the fact that the
one ten and now I know the Dodgers are in
San Diego tonight for a big game. But the one
ten seemed pretty pretty light going both ways and not
a lot of action downtown. But I saw the helicopters
in the sky. Hey, you know, looked over at twin
twin Towers and I knew it was going down over there,
(08:24):
but I didn't see it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, you're a smart man, Hey, I know that you
know that we cover it here because we're a news station.
Are you guys covering it on five seventy am? Are
you still doing Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson? Who's better?
Speaker 8 (08:40):
Yeah, that's what we did for the first two hours
of today's show, was we took calls on Michael Jordan
b Magic Johnson, which is, as you know, mister Thompson,
he's a very very heated subjects for the years.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Know, we figured we'd bring our own heat to this
civil unrest. Magic Johnson versus Michael Jordan, who played in
kind of different eras, but but they did play against
each other, and then for the other half hour or
so we just parted around.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Hey, can I ask you a sports question?
Speaker 8 (09:20):
Yeah, uh, you sure can. Is it Magic Johnson versus Jordan?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Not yet, but that might be. The second one is
is uh is DeMarcus Cousins the guy that was fighting
in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Yeah, she's very volatile.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What's going on with him?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
But he's always this I mean, you know, it seemed
like he got you know, yeah, I don't know if
it happened to you back in the little league, in
the Valley Little league days. You know, a guy competing
real hard in Puerto Rico, you know, and you're you're
far from home, and they're drinking the fruit of bonmaz. Yeah,
(09:59):
and the they're they're mocking you, and they're in their way.
You know, he lost control of himself. It's not the
first time an athlete has lost his mind, and it
won't be the last him. But well, you know, I'm
interested to see that you graduately gravitated toward that story.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I know that you mocked me, but when I was
playing Uh. You know in Sino Little League, we used
to eat drink our fruit Obamas as well.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Yeah, and a no hitter, didn't you, pitcher no hitter?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I was on Fruit Obama when I pitched the no hitter. Huh,
well there you go.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, just like uh, just just like that Pittsburgh Pirates
pitcher on the on the lsbah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
People often make that, People often make that similarity, that
that connection.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
Yeah, well, you know, it's a valley legend. You know,
I've been around La long enough, I hear all the stories.
But to answer your question from earlier, before you start
calling me a wharf street again, uh, we touched lightly
on the on the various riots and things happening around.
Oh I see, okay, but we didn't you know, we
didn't point we didn't point the finger at anymore.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Well, dodgers on the road, right Petro, So they don't
have to worry.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
About the well, you know, so dodgers on the road,
you know, who cares if they're looting? Looting? You know,
I'm just I'm really glad I didn't go into that
weed dispensary discos out.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, let me ask you a question, and we
got to take a break because we got the the
governor coming on. But who has who has more guys
who are healthy that can throw the looters downtown? Are
the Dodgers?
Speaker 8 (11:40):
Well you got to you know, those looters are not
finally tuned aplete. They might get a lucky throw here
and there, but you know when you're throwing a mop
off cocktail or a cinder block, or you know part
of the curve that you broke off with your skateboards. Uh,
you know, you're I mean, it's it's it's like horseshoes
(12:01):
and hand grenades, you know, close enough, right, You're just
you're trying to cause trouble. I day, what we're asking
from the Dodgers pictures is you know, it's a lot more.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But let me ask you something. Petro's on a very
serious note, you have a very rich history with your
family in Los Angeles. You were born here. Your dad
was a big, huge alum for a USC. He's off
in the area, he sings on Sunset Boulevard. I've witnessed
that firsthand. Don't you feel a sense of anxiety when
there's this kind of unrest in a city that we
(12:31):
were both born and raised in.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Yes? Uh, that being said, though, when the la riots
happened that I was in high school, I was handed
a gun which I did not know how to use. Wow,
and slept in a sleeping bag in my father's restaurant
for a couple of days as somebody through a manhole
cover through the window. We were you you know, what's that?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Were you eating that? That chicken rice soup?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Yeah, the ob glomano soup. Yeah, that's the only didn't
you kept us going? Jim, It's like but honikah with
the with the flame, that's right. And and uh, you
know at that time, my family also.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Owned seven days of that soup.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
Yeah, yeah, seven How many days did they ride? And
that's how long the soup last? And uh and then
you know we also owned liquor stores in that time.
Oh so we had a little bit of a roof
rooftop Korean vibe as well.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I really know how to live, buddy.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
I'm just glad. I'm just glad my dad's an old
man and we don't own anything like that anymore. Then
I don't have to do that. So does that answer
your question?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It does, buddy. I appreciated the Governor's coming on Giant
stud and we'll talk to you next week.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Tell the governor, I say, he's just doing a backup job.
I just love this sety.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
All right, excellent, All right, there he goes Petros from
the Petros and Money Show. We get a first hit.
All right, unless the governor is coming on, Let's crank
it up here and hear what he has to say.
Here we go, Governor.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Newsome with the governor's audio. But as soon as we're
able to bring that up.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Bad audio that address to you. Oh, all the stations
are bailing because the audio didn't work. Oh that's embarrassing.
Wait no, no, Fox and Channel five doesn't have it
on either Channel five channel eleven the audio. Let's try
Channel five. But it looks like the audio was a problem.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, the audio is a problem. The signals we're seeing video.
How about that? How about that? The governor is still speaking,
he's live on TV. We can see him, but we
can't hear him. They screwed up the audio. Can you
imagine how pissed he's going to be about that? That
he has a big announcement going out to the entire
(15:04):
country about Los Angeles and they can't get the audio right,
they couldn't get the audio right.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
I don't know who they is though, Wow, I just
don't know who.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
All right, We're gona take a quick break. We come back.
We'll have the governor speaking. But that's a major, major
screw up in California, the home of the best audio
technicians in the world.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
We got the governor back on now. I guess his
audio is working, so we're going to crank it up.
Governor news heavily Latino suburb.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
A similar scene played out when a clothing company was
raided downtown. In other actions, a US citizen nine months
pregnant was arrested, a four year old girl taken, families, separated,
friends quite literally disappearing. In response, every day, Angelino's came
out to exercise the constitutional right to free speech and
(16:02):
assembly to protest their government's actions. In turn, the state
of California and the City and County of Los Angeles
sent our police officers to help keep the peace, and
with some exceptions, they were successful. Like many states, California
is no stranger to this sort of unrest. We manage
(16:23):
it regularly and with our own law enforcement. But this
again was different. What then ensued was the use of
tear gas, flash bang grenades, rubber bullets, federal agents detaining
people in undermining their due process rights. Donald Trump, without
consulting California law enforcement leaders, commandeered two thousand of our
(16:47):
state's National Guard members to deploy on our.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Streets illegally and for no reason.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed
a combustible situation, putting our peace people, our officers, and
even our National Guard at risk.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That's when the downward spiral began.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by
fanning the flames even harder, and the president he did
it on purpose. As the news spread throughout La, anxiety
for family and friends ramped up. Protests started again. By night,
several dozen lawbreakers became violent and destructive. They vandalized property,
(17:30):
They tried to assault police officers. Many of you have
seen the video clips of cars burning on cable news.
If you incite violence, I want to be clear about this,
If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you're going
to be held to account. That kind of criminal behavior
will not be tolerated full stop. Already, more than two
hundred and twenty people have been arrested, and we're reviewing
(17:51):
tapes to build additional cases, and people will be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Again, thanks to our law enforcement.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
Officers and the majority of Angelinos who protested peacefully, the
situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a
few square blocks downtown.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
But that's not what Donald Trump wanted.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
He again chose escalation, He chose more force, He chose
theatrics over public safety. He federalized another two thousand Guard members.
He deployed more than seven hundred active US Marines. These
are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not
domestic law enforcement.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
We honor their service, we honor their.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Bravery, but we do not want our streets militarized by
our own armed forces.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Not in La not in California, not anywhere.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking, lots
kids afraid of attending their own graduation. Trump is pulling
a military drag net all across Los Angeles, well beyond
is stated intent to just go after violent and serious
criminals his agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers, and seamstresses.
(19:12):
That's just weakness, weakness masquerading as strength. Donald Trump's government
isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities. And that
seems to be the entire point. California will keep fighting.
We'll keep fighting on behalf of our people, all of
our people, including in the courts. Just yesterday, we filed
(19:33):
a legal challenge to Donald Trump's reckless deployment of American
troops to a major American city. Today, we sought an
emergency court order to stop the use of the American
military to engage in law enforcement activities across Los Angeles.
If some of us could be snatched off the streets
without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color,
(19:56):
then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by
targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but
they do not stop there. Trump and as loyalists, they
thrive on division because it allows them to take more
power and exert even more control. And by the way, Trump,
he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as
(20:19):
it serves him. What more evidence do we need than
January sixth, ask everyone take time reflect on this perilous moment.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
A president who wants to be bound by no law.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
Or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American traditions. This
is a president who, in just over one hundred and
forty days has fired government watchdogs that could hold him accountable,
accountable for corruption and fraud. He's declared a war, a
war on culture, on history, on science, on knowledge itself.
(20:55):
Databases quite literally are vanishing. He's delegitimizing news organizations, and
he's assaulting the First Amendment and the threat of defunding
them at threat. He's dictating what universities themselves can teach.
He's targeting law firms and the judicial brands that are
the foundations of an orderly in civil society. He's calling
(21:17):
for a sitting governor to be arrested for no other
reason than to, in his own words, for getting elected.
And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes,
the United States military and forcing them to put on
a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other
failed dictators have done in the past. Look, this isn't
(21:41):
just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump
sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made
that order apply to every state in this nation.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
This is about all of us. This is about you.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
California may be first, but it clearly will not end
here other states. Our next democracy is next democracy is
under assault before our eyes.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
This moment we have feared has arrived.
Speaker 10 (22:10):
It's taking a wrecking ball, a wrecking ball to our
founding father's historic project, three co equal branches of independent government.
They're no longer any checks and balances. Congress is nowhere
to be found. Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility.
The rule of law has increasingly been given way to
(22:31):
the rule of don The founding fathers they didn't lived and.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Died to see this kind of moment.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
It's time for all of us to stand up. Justice
brandeis he said it best. In a democracy, the most
important office, with all due respect, mister President, is not
the presidency, and it's certainly not governor.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
The most important office is office of citizen.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
At this moment, at this moment, we all need to
stand up and be held to account a higher level
of accountability. If you exercise your First Amendment rights, Please please.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Do it peacefully.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress,
and fear, but I want you to know that you
are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What
Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence to
be complicit in this moment.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do not give in to him. Listening to president news
we had heard is.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That it okay, that's a wrap man a man oh man,
A lot too unpacked there. I have never in my
life heard a president, heard a governor go off on
a sitting president while people are rioting in the streets.
Never heard of it. I've never heard. He described the
parade coming up Saturday, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
(23:56):
This country's two hunred and forty nine years old. The
Army's two hundred and fifty years old. This Saturday, it
happens also be Trump's birthday, but it's the two hudred
and fiftieth anniversary of the Army. The god of a
parade in Washington, d C. And he called it vulgar.
He said, there's a war on the United States. And
(24:16):
he said, you know, Donald Trump is power hungry and
authoritarian regime. He called it, he's suing Trump. This sounds
like a speech you would give to rioters and say hey,
let's keep it going.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Well, it sounds like a political speech in part, and
I think it is a political speech in part. And
I think the other thing you're hearing is a governor
who's angry that a president has usurped his power like
the National Guard. No, I'm just trying to explain that
it's two components. I agree kind of with what you're
you're saying, which is there's a political component, and then
there is the reality that this guy is angry that
(24:49):
the president is usurped the power of the governor.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I've never heard him that angry before. He's really really pissed.
I hope the rioters didn't hear that speech. I mean,
that's gonna get a lot more people downtown. It's just
bad timing, bad timing. Oh my god. All right, we
got to take a final break here and then we'll
come back and wrap up the day. Remember the curfew
(25:15):
is eight pm. You have an hour and six fifteen
minutes to get out of that box. The ten, the one,
ten freeway, the five, and the ten you gotta get
out of that box. You have an hour and fifteen
minutes to do it. So if you don't have a car,
or a bike or a urin on the trainer, anything,
you gotta start clicking your heels. You gotta start walking
(25:35):
out of that box or else you're gonna be arrested.
And Mark Thompson has just been notified that he's going
down there to make all the arrest that's wild.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
I gotta help, you know, when they need help, they
need help. The batbeam goes up, I gotta respond.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All right, Mark thoms will be down there with Petros
and that that lemon soup.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
That he likes.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Yeah, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KF six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Before we get to back to downtown. Let me tell
you distract your little if you're not doing anything for
July fourth, the La phil which I believe is short
for Philharmonic, presents the July fourth Fireworks Spectacular with Earth,
Wind and Fire Oh Yeah on the second, third, and
fourth of July at the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
I think just fire is still there. Earth and Wind
I think passed away. Oh no, yeah.

all time, nine time Grammy Award winning icons. Yeah, Earth
Winding Fire. Remember they have hits like September Shining Star.
Oh yeah, oh beautiful, that's the way of the World. Yeah,

Speaker 9 (26:42):

Speaker 1 (26:43):
So you can picnic at the Bowl or bring your
oh yeah that's right. Yeah, yeah, you're correct, Yeah yeah
yeah kills Mike. Wait, thank you man. We have a
pair of tickets to give away to the Wednesday show
that's change July second, July second of this year, and
(27:03):
the tenth caller right now is going to win that
eight hundred five to two oh one five three four,
eight hundred and five to two oh one five three four.
You're going to the Hollywood Bowl. For more information, visit
Hollywood Bowl dot com Hollywood Bowl dot com. Yes, okay,
we have a curfew, Mark, Yeah, you cannot go downtown.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
I'm not leaving the house tonight.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Okay, all right. It's not for the whole city of
la oh okay, it's just the downtown area. And let
me again try to describe it to you. It starts
where the one, ten and the five meet. That's the road,
that's the freeway you take when you leave Dodger Stadium.
You go north on the one ten, and then you
go north on the five and you go back to
I don't know, Tarzana and March Delhi and you can
(27:46):
enjoy yourself. So the five and the one ten is
the northern part of that box. Then the ten Freeway
on the south, So it's the one ten Freeway on
the west, the five Freeway on the north, the ten
Freeway on the south, and the five ten ish you know,
they combined there on the east. So it's the Mayor
(28:07):
Bass called it a square mile. It's larger than a
square mile. I guarantee you that to go from the
five Freeway where the one ten meets down to the
ten Freeway is not a mile. I drove a limousine
in this city for almost three years. And Mayor Bass
(28:29):
when she became mayor, she was taking a helicopter over
downtown Los Angeles. Remember when that big fire on the
overpath on the underpath and the ten freeway. She was
an helicopter observing Los Angeles and she said to the pilot,
she goes, hey, what is that And the guy said, oh,
that's the one ten Freeway and she goes, oh, that's
the one ten. I'm like, that's a major freeway not
(28:52):
to know that mayor baths. She's under a lot of pressure.
She is might look different from the air who Mayor. No,
I'm saying maybe she did. Confused. Oh right, But if
you're the mayor of LA you've got to you know,
if you're the mayor of New York City, wouldn't say, hey,
is that the George Washington Bridge? You should be able
to nail that. I always trying to right, Okay, look,
(29:16):
I'm gonna be honest with you. I you know, we
goof around here and a lot, but there's some very
serious problems going on in downtown Los Angeles. There are
a lot of people in downtown who have felt like
they've been left behind, and that's what's going on. They
can frame it with ice and the National Guard and
the fight between Trump and the hatred of Trump, and
(29:38):
the hatred of Newsom, and the hatred or love of
Mayor bas Or Jim McDonald with LAPD, A lot of
things are are close to the real reason why there's
riding going on downtown. But let me tell you the
real reason the people riding downtown Los Angeles have felt
and continue to feel like they've left behind. They Doug
(30:01):
Steckley used to say, the most dangerous people in this
world are people with nothing to lose, and you see
hundreds of them every night in downtown LA. They don't
have husbands or wives. They don't have homes. They have
an apartment that they have or they're staying with a buddy,
or they live at home, but they don't have their
own house. They don't have full time jobs that are
(30:24):
paying them enough a living wage. And that's who is downtown.
People who have been left behind by the system. And
as angry as you think they are, they're a billion
times angrier. And you see that in the last five
nights of rioting in downtown Los Angeles. Right now, there's
(30:44):
a prayer vigil going on in right near Grand Park,
right in front of a city hall there, and they
have to clear out that entire park. There's thousands of
people there. There's thousands of people in downtown LA, thousands
of people inside this bar, and you have one hour
and one minute to get out or you'll be arrested.
(31:05):
So get yourself a six pack. If you're listening right now,
get home by eight because you're gonna see a show
tonight that's unlike the show that we've seen for the
last five nights.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
I do think it's gonna be a lot tougher tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's gonna be wild and you're gonna witness it all
on TV tonight starting at eight pm with the curfew.
There will go to six am and welcome back tomorrow
at four o'clock and sum it up. But Moe Kelly
will be on the air when this curfew kicks in
in one hour and one minute from now. It's gonna
(31:39):
be a wild night. Mark Well, I think it will
be a lot tougher Monny. Thanks for coming in and
thanks for filling it with me when.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
I lost my mind, Leisure, I always miss you, but
always a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
All right.
