Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We're going
to start with Michael Monks, who's on every Saturday from
seven to nine pm. It looks like they may have
caught a guy who could have started the fires that
wiped out a lot of Palisades and Malaby. That's huge news.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's what they announced today is that they think they
got the guy who started the Palisades fire. Which the
most interesting thing about this announcement from my perspective today,
was that he didn't directly start the Palisades fire, even
by the admission of the prosecutors. He started a smaller
fire that was known as the Lachman Fire. He started
it in the early moments of January first, back on
(00:44):
New Year's Day, and firefighters responded to this fire naturally, okay,
they and they put out as much of it as
they could. They did what they called suppression. It was suppressed,
but it was not out wow, And that was the problem.
This thing smoldered. In fact, to acting us any Bill A.
Saley described the situation like this today.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
While the Lockman fire burned, the defendant walked up the
same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire
and firefighters, using his iPhone to take short videos of
the scene. Although firefighters suppressed the blaze, the fire continued
to smolder and burn underground within the root structure of
(01:24):
the dense vegetation. So that fire started on January first,
and it smoldered underground for about a week until on
January seventh, heavy winds caused this underground fire to surface
and spread above ground, causing what became known as the
(01:45):
Palisades Fire.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So we learned today one there is someone under arrest,
and two based on these allegations, we know the origin
of the Palisades fire was an earlier, smaller fire, right,
and so.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The fire department thought that they had that fire out,
and that thing smoldered underground for a week.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think prosecutors today were careful in the way he
described that earlier fire. They did not say the fire
was ever out. Oh, they said that this fire was suppressed,
and yes, it was deep underground and smoldered, as you
heard Bill A. Sale say, there for almost seven full wholes.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But you know what, monks, you may not have been
out here when there was a fire in the Anaheim Hills.
This must have been three or four years ago, I'm
sure Krozer remembers this. And then literally like four or
five days after it was out, it flared up again.
And I know a lot of the news media had
blamed the firefighters for not putting that out. Are they
being blamed for some of this?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There are no real answers to anything else about the
Palisades fire today. There are still many questions about the
response and the preparedness and how well we took care
of the fuel the vegetation around that area.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
All we know.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
For certain today is that federal prosecutors have a guy
that they say started a fire that smoldered underground for
six days until those Santa Ana winds blew out.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, So if they do charge him, and they do
find him guilty of that fire, they are he's probably
looking at twelve murder charges too, then.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Not yet, only charged so far with his alleged responsibility
in the fire, which would carry a sentence somewhere between
five and twenty years in prison. Now we know Acting
US Attorney Bill A. Sale from the Assembly where he
represented Riverside County for a long time, that he may
want to bring additional charges. I know that residents in
the Palisades would like to see more in the way
(03:36):
of justice. As you note, it wasn't just a ton
of buildings and homes that were destroyed. Twelve lives were
taken in this fire, so it's possible that more charges
could be coming. What we know about this guy, Jonathan Rindernecked.
He's twenty nine years old. He lived in the Palisades
at the time.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He was working as an uber driver, and he was
driving on New Year's Eve. Investigators talked to some of
his passengers from that night.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They say that he was angry, he was upset. Well,
he lives in the Palace States, he drives, you ouper,
That means mom and dad are saying, get out there,
get a job.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Possibly, we don't know a whole lot in that regard,
but he was somebody who was not in a good
mood that night. That's what prosecutors say they were told
by passengers. So he drops off his final passenger. The
clock strikes midnight. It's now January first, twenty twenty five.
He walks up a trail, sits alone, and watches a
music video, a French rap song that he had apparently
(04:31):
watched hundreds of times on YouTube. The reason this is significant,
according to prosecutors, is because this video features a lot
of imagery of dangerous fire. He also asked Chat, GPT
and artificial intelligence platform put in a prompt create an
image for me that shows a fire destroying a city
(04:53):
and people running. So there is something they got their guy,
evidence of a guy who seems to enjoy fires and
and likes the idea of a fire threatening a community.
And ultimately that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He relocated from the Palisades to Florida, and that's where
he was arrested today.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, Michael Monks is with us every Saturday from
seven to nine pm. Did he when he lived in
the Palisades? Did he live with his parents? I don't know.
A whole lot sounds like this situation that was there.
Would you be surprised? I would not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But you know, it's not that everybody lives in the
Palisades is a wealthy person who lives on their own.
There are some options for folks to live in that area,
perhaps in a communal situation or shared situation. All we
know is that He's a twenty nine year old guy
who later relocated to Florida. More interesting about this is
when he allegedly started this fire, he called nine to
(05:42):
one one, and he called nine one one several times
and was unable to get through because of his own
service situation. That wasn't he called to report the fire.
He called to report the fire. Eventually he came down
the hill and was able to get through to nine
one one. By that point, others had also already called
and reported the fire. So he sees the fire department
(06:04):
responding to this fire, even engages with them, talks to
them first to help them, and then goes back up
the hill to take videos of the fire that he
allegedly started. So police who investigated this were able to
disprove they say, some of his earlier statements.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
He was interviewed a few weeks later.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh it's that right, twenty fourth and said a night
at the bottom of the hill when this fire started.
They were able to use that phone data to say, no,
he wasn't. They pinned him right where they think this
thing started.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, you remember back. I hate to keep, you know,
going back to old references, but there was a there
was a terrorist attack in San Bernardino. It must been
fifteen twenty years ago, and they the FBI wanted information
from this terrorist phone, and the phone companies didn't give
it to them. You know, they said that this information
on their phone is private. I think that the FBI
(07:00):
I twist the arm of some of these cell phone
companies and said, you know, that's fine for the news
and your public image, but you're giving us that information.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I think there are different levels of privacy that are
expected when you're using your phone, and they were able
to get this information.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So they say they've got that's great, that's great work
that they've done.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They say they've got a physical trail and a digital
trail that links him there. And this investigation was immense,
the alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. The Federal Bureau they led
this investigation. They're the ones, in fact, who arrested Kindernet
in Florida. The acting agent in charge here in Los
Angeles says that they brought agents in who were crawling
(07:37):
around that area on their.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Hands and knee.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I remember that looking for evidence, and that they believe
they've got a pretty strong case against this guy.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I remember when they started a similar fire up there
to see how it acted in the wind. So it
sounds like they got the guy he acted alone, though
nobody else with him as of.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Now, just this one arrest, nobody else. What was unclear
is they talked to him in January. It's October and
they've just arrested him, So what was the catalyst for
that is a bit unclear. The prosecutors also did not
want to get into any potential motive for why he
may have done this. They did show or demonstrate that
he had some interest in fire and the catastrophe that
(08:14):
it could cause, but we don't know exactly what would
have motivated him to just go up on top of
this hill and start a fire that ultimately became so
destructive and deadly.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A black eye for uber drivers where you know, typically
they have a stellar reputation. I think you're saying that coyly.
All right, Monks, thank you. I Saturday this seven and
nine PM. We'll dive more into this on Saturday, along
with all the other news of the week. Thank you, sir,
Michael Monks. Everybody all right. Conway Show at five oh five,
(08:44):

want to come back for that if you got to,
I don't know, use the gents.

tuning in, they've arrested a guy and they're going to
charge him with the Palisades Fire. Sixty eight hundred homes
or more. Twelve people died. And I don't know if
it's a sense if people get you know, if you've
had your home burned to the ground in the Palisades fire,
(09:25):
I don't know if it means much to you. I thought,
I think maybe you thought that this was this is
how it happened all along, that that fire that was
started around New Year's kept smoldering for seven days, for
six days or seven days whenever it is, and then
it finally, you know, burned everybody's home down. All right,
(09:49):

we've had This is also breaking news Trump Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have both signed
off on the first phase of the Gaza Peace Plan,
So that is great news. We'll get into that as well.
(10:39):
But let's go back to the timeline of the Palisades
events and the angry guy who drives uber and they've
arrested this twenty nine year old and are going to
charge him with that fire.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
So many emotions today, anger at the person authorities say
is responsible for starting that January first fire, and anger
at the Los Angeles Fire Department because people tell me
they're angry that that January first fire was able to reignite.
Residents of Pacific Palistads have long believed that January seventh
Palisades fire was caused by the rekindling of a fire
(11:13):
six days prior. Today, authorities confirmed that to be true,
and they also shared the shocking news about how the
January first fire started. They say it was an intentional
act committed by twenty nine year old Jonathan rinderneckt.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, all right, so that we all know that from
Monks' report. But I think there is probably gonna be
a lot of anger there for you know, the guys
that they're supposed to put that fire out. I've never
heard of a fire smoldering that long underground. Maybe it happens.
I'm not, you know, doubting that it happens. I just
think that I don't know when you know, I knew
(11:50):
four days almost five days before that that big Santa
Ana event was going to happen. I heard it on
every single TV news date, and they said, you know,
in four days, three days, two days, it's here. You know,
they we had plenty of warning. I live in Burbank,
and I knew that that you know, horrible storm, that
(12:12):
horrible windstorm was coming, and it shook our house. I
have never ever felt wind, and I'm born and raised
here in southern California. I have never seen that type
of wind sustained for that long ever. I mean it
was literally two days. It just wouldn't stop. You know,
in the middle of the night, you think that your
house is falling down. And and so for that fire
(12:35):
to have been put out, and I don't know, maybe
it was, you know, the first year, first week of
the year, and the fire department was shorthanded. Maybe Kristin
Crawley was ripe that the fire department needs more fire engines,
more firefighters, more equipment, you know, more water. But what
(12:56):
a horrible chain of events to have a fire smoldering
for a week, the most vicious Santa Anna wins probably
in one hundred years, and no water in the reservoir.
All three of those happened at the exact same time,
all three and it's you can it is mismanagement. I
don't know who's mismanaging, but somebody mismanaged that. And nobody
(13:20):
except Kristin Crawley, who was the fire chief and said,
we need better equipment, we need more men, more women,
more water. She's the only one that got suspended or
fired or demoted. Out of everybody in California, the only
one that got demoted was the woman that had the
balls to come out and say, hey, we need more here.
(13:42):
For someone to go up into intentionally light a fire
and to put people's lives at danger and in people's
homes at dangers is absolutely devastating.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
He is charged with starting the Palistates fire.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
He started it on January first.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Authorities say Renderneck was familiar with the Palistates and had
been staying at a home on LaCosta in the Palisades
Highlands that burned in the January seventh fire. According to
the complaint, Rinderneck worked as an uber driver and in
the early morning hours of January first, he dropped off
passengers in the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I can tell you ATF has determined that the fire
was ignited with an open flame.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Authorities say while the January first fire burned, known as
the Lockman Fire, Rinderneck tried to call nine one one,
but did not get service. Cell Phone records show Rindernck
was the only person in the area where the fire started.
He left the scene, but then followed responding fire engines
back to the fire.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
While the Lochman fire burned, the defendant walked up the
same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire
and firefighters, using his iPhone to take short videos of
the scene.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Okay, so he lives on a on a street called
Via La Consta and Pacific Palisades, and I wanted to ask,
you know, I asked monks here, you know, was he
living with his parents? Because the average home on that
street goes for four million dollars And I don't know
any Uber driver who's twenty nine who's put enough money
(15:08):
away to buy a four million dollar house. Houses on
Homes and houses on Via La Consta and Pacific Palisades
have a wide range of values, with individual property estimates
varying significantly from from low end of three point one
million to the high end of five point seven million
(15:29):
as of late twenty twenty five, and a general average
being approximately four million, seventy thousand dollars. That's what the
homes we're selling for before the fire, And so you
have to imagine that he was either staying with a
friend or a family or he's living at home, because
(15:50):
nobody driving Uber can afford those homes. Those are very
expensive homes, So I don't know. We'll see a lot
more details will come out, and we'll have all of
information as it comes in. We got the Dodgers tonight.
That's a big deal. The Dodgers could sweep Philadelphia with
the win tonight. That game starts at six oh eight.
So if you're not at the stadium right now, I
(16:10):
hope you're closed because traffic is going to be rough.
And then Donald Trump says, Israel and Hamas both have
signed off on the first phase of the gods a
peace plan, and so we're working on all those. Katie
Porter's audio will go over that at five o'clock. And
if you're a Kings fan, you enjoy that last night?
Do you like that the very first game of the
(16:31):
season and the Kings were never in it? Did you
like that? It's to be a lot of that this season,
a lot of that this season. That is not a
good team, not even close. They weren't in that game
last night for thirty seconds, got blown out by Colorado.
The only interesting thing to watch in that game last
(16:51):
night is a guy named Jeff Lamont. Is that Jeff lallatter?
Jeff Lamont? Let me get his name here? Before we
take a break here, Jeff Mallott m A. L Ott.
His brother is a professional fighter, and this kid is
strong and can and can fight. They should go out
and get twenty five Jeff mallotts and just call it
(17:15):
a season, and just you know, you go down to
the stadium, the the arena every night just to watch
the Kings fight like the old days, like with Jay Wells,
you know, and at Todd McClelland or the old old school.
He's a goon. Yeah, you go down there, fill up
that bench with forty goons. I'll be there every night,
every night watch that. But I'm not going to watch this.
(17:36):
This is no good, no good.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six. Forty.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Dodgers start in about an hour and twenty now, about
an hour and a half, hour and a half now,
almost exactly an hour and a half now. The Dodgers
will start at Dodgers Stadium. I'm looking at a live
shot on Channel five. There are people in their seats already.
It's an hour and a half before the first pitch
(18:05):
and there are already people there. So it's gonna be crowded.
Is Angel available, Angel Martinez? You weathers Baman bought her
up there she is, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
We missed you last week. This show sucks without you.
We got a lot of emails saying that, oh man,
yeah really yeah wow, mostly coming from a really suspicious
email address because Martina is in it.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Oh yeah, they're still we're still looking at it, all right, pleakay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So Dodger Stadium, everyone's there's gonna be fifty seven fifty
six thousand people trying to get in. What is the
traffic like around the stadium.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
So it's been really busy for the past couple of hours,
just heading into Chavez Ravine. Like I've been gauging it
by looking at the two and that too southbound sewing
out of Gloucell Park from Fletcher Drive. A little while ago,
it was backing up from York Boulevard, which is you know,
the next exit back, but it's you know, it's it's
fluctuating back and forth.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So that's full.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
The drive out of Burbank is loaded on the five southbound,
you're on the let's see, it's backing up all the way.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
From about Olive just before Olive. Wow, man, that's a
long way.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
But check this out the northbound side of the five.
You've got delays all the way out of Lamorada from
Valley View and it finally looks better by the one
thirty four. It's just stacked right now.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What about the one ten north coming from Long Beach Sampedro.
Is that jammed?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Oh my gosh, it's backing up all the way from
the four oh five.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh is that No, wait a minute, in the four
o five. That's got to be. It's got to be
twelve miles.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
It's it's pretty far. It's me let me, let me
see what the distance and the time is from that.
So it's it's backing up from right between the ninety
one and the floor, Oh my god. And the drive
is solid all the way to the freeway that is
seven but just about eighteen miles. They'll take you just
(20:04):
over an hour.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All right? So is there any hope? I mean, is
the one oh one coming out of the valley is
that all screwed up to?
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Yeah, it's pretty slammed out of Calabasas all the way
from Lost Hills out of yes, yes, almost Agora Hills.
Like the next exit back is a Liberty Canyon, and
it's it's starting to push back before people's till right
now people angry as.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Hell, you know, because they figure, okay, we'll leave an
hour and a half before the game, we'll be there,
but some people won't be there, you know. I mean,
that's that's a that's a twenty mile drive from Calabasas
or eighteen. You know, it's got to be the same
distance that it is from the four or five, you know,
the one ten getting in there is there any relief anywhere?
What about coming south on the one ten to get
(20:52):
to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
So if you're dropping in from South Pasadena, that drive looks.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Really good right now.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Oh good, okay, until you make your way to the
five and then you know it's not that far to
stadium way beyond that, but that's where the delays begin
right now, is at the five on the one ten southbound,
and then of course the surface streets leading in to
all the parking lots are just you know, it's a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, all right, thank you, Angel Martinez. Thing gone with it,
all right, We're gonna come back and talk about the
peace talks here. According to Donald Trump Donald J. Trump,
President Trump. He says, Israel and Hamas both signed off
on the first phase of the gods a peace plan,
and we'll come back and give you those details. And
the top of the hour, Katie Porter sort of stepped
(21:38):
in it and made a kind of an error in
talking to a reporter, and that video has gone viral.
We'll have another candidate who's running for governor of the
state of California respond to that. So we got a
lot going on, lot going on here on KFI, and
we'll also follow the traffic getting into Dodger Stadium, and
(22:00):
also we'll give you Dodger scores throughout the night. So
this is really the only station that does all this.
All the other stations are I don't know, they're doing
some other I don't know they're doing weather all day.
We're not doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Lots going on today. You got the Dodgers, you've got
the arrest for the Palisades fire, You've got Israel and
Hamas both signing off on this deal, and you have
Katie Porter. Katie Porter in the news for butchering an interview,
and we'll talk about that at the top of the
hour with another candidate's running for governor of the state
(22:42):
of California. Lots going on, lots going on, and the
Kings Laiden egg last night. Hope you enjoyed that. The
Kings are going through a fifty year rebuild. So first
twenty years is just getting to know the players, and
then the next five is getting new players because those
players have been in the league for twenty years, and
(23:02):
then it's getting to know the new players for ten years,
and then getting to getting better players for another ten years,
and then maybe another Cup in fifty years. So it's
a fifty year rebuild with the Kings, And I hope
you enjoyed that game last night. If I was Adrian Kempei,
I'd get on a plane go to Florida, Pittsburgh or
New York. I would not sign with this team. All right,
(23:24):
let's talk about the peace agreement. The peace talks both
signed off Hamas and Israel, and that's a big deal,
big huge deal. President Trump's been waiting for a long
time to announce this, so let's find out some of
the details.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Clearly, the President has been wanting to announce this deal
for quite some time. It was very important to him
clearly to announce it before either the Israelis or Hamas.
We have just now received confirmation from the Qataris, but
it was President Trump who came out with that true
social post first. At the end of it, he quoted
scripture even saying blessed are the Peacemakers. So it's definitely
(23:59):
very very significant for the President to be able to
make this announcement annacement. This comes just days after the
President hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here at the
White House. I was there as the President announced that
twenty point piece plan of actually go along with it.
There were many leaders from the Middle East and from
the Arab world that did throw their support behind that
(24:20):
piece deal, but there were very many questions about whether
Hamas would go along. As you've been discussing with Richard, though,
there are questions about how this moves forward from here.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't know who Richard is he goes, but I
guess he's on a first name basis.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
As you've been discussing with Richard, though, there are questions
about how this moves forward from here, whether there might
be accusations of violating this ceasefire, but still extremely significant
that two years into this war we now have some
sort of an agreement to reach those hostages. Now we
were waiting any new world.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
It was two years what was it two years yesterday?
Was it October seventh?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, two years yesterday, man oh Man.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
From the White House. We have yet to receive it.
But again President expecting to go to the Middle East,
potentially leaving Saturday, arriving there Sunday, perhaps going to Egypt.
But again these details are still very fluid. Just moments
after this piece deal, the first phase of it. Anyway,
we're just announced.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yes, I was reading online about one of the hostages,
one of the Israeli hostages, and he was being held
hundreds of feet underground. He was given he was held
for almost two years, and he was given a half
a piece of pita bread every day to eat, and
once the captors had left him alone, he would search
(25:34):
on the floor, on the dirt floor, for any crumbs
that he could eat. And his whole goal, excuse me,
his whole goal was to try to get back to
see his wife and his two kids, his two daughters.
And so he was finally released and he got out.
He was given over from the Red Cross. Moss gave
(25:55):
him to the Red Cross. Red Cross gave him to
the Israelis and they said, were taking you to the
hospital in Tel Aviv, and he said, oh, to see
my I can't wait to see my wife, my daughters.
And he said, well, you're going to see your parents first,
and he knew that that was not good. And what
he found out that while on October seventh, two years ago,
(26:18):
his wife and two daughters were murdered, and he was
using that to hold on for almost two years, being
held hostage, and then he gets out and his wife's
to find out his wife and his two young, beautiful
daughters were murdered. And there's hundreds of stories like that,
you know, on both sides. It's been a horrible, horrible
(26:41):
situation for the last two years. And so maybe maybe
for the first time and I don't know one thousand,
two thousand years, some say three thousand, that there could
be some peace in that area. That would be great.
I think we'd all welcome that, all right. So if
we have any more details on that, we will have
(27:04):
them for you. But I'm sure that's going to be
a big signing at the White house, and everyone will
keep an eye on it to see if you know,
what the mediators do, who's going to be in charge
of implementing this. The Egyptians might get involved, there was
some news about that, and also Trump is considering traveling
to them at least in the coming days to sign
(27:27):
this agreement between the Israelis and Hamas, and that would
be a big deal. I think that'd be a big
international probably the biggest event of the year, and maybe
there is some peace for those people who live in
that area. Wouldn't that be great? But the negotiations are
two years and two days when they came up to
(27:51):
an agreement two years and two days after the initial
attack on October seven, twenty twenty three. So we'll keep on.
I'm sure you're keeping an eye on that as well.
There's a lot of people that have invested is a
lot of time in that, whether protesting for either side
(28:12):
or being nervous about going to temple on Jewish holidays
while that war is still going on. There's a lot
of tension, a lot of tension, a lot of anger
in this country, and a lot of hostile people. A lot.
I see it all the time. I used to see
road rage when I was driving around, you know, when
I was sixteen seventeen. I got my license at sixteen,
(28:34):
and I would see road rage maybe once every other month, right,
maybe once every maybe two or three times a year,
and sometimes not even once a year. Now I see
road rage almost every day. I drive, almost every day
I go if I take the full, you know, on
a Saturday, especially on Saturday and Sunday, if I spend
(28:56):
the day, you know, running around doing whatever on a
Saturday or Sunday, I see road rage probably be four
or five six times a day easily, easily, you know,
whether it's just a honk and a guy flipping another
guy off, or a guy getting out of his car
to fight somebody. I saw it last night. I saw
it last night. I was driving southbound on Victory to
turn right on Olive, and a guy wasn't turning right
(29:16):
on a red light, and he honked at him. The
guy flipped him off, and they both got out of
their car, and another guy driving in the truck yells
at him. He goes, you guys are gonna effing fight
over this, over over a guy who's you know, taking
thirty more seconds to turn right you're gonna fist fight
over this. I remember that term. He kept saying, You're
gonna fist fight over this. You're gonna fist fight over this.
(29:38):
And they both got back in their car and they
split kind of it. They were kind of I guess embarrassed. Bye.
There's a lot of anger out there, man, a lot
of hostility. That's why I always recommend and I'm glad.
Angel Martinez reminds me all the time, especially when it's
hot out. But I extended Angel now I'm extending it
to uh Winter as well. Don't use the horn unless
(30:01):
you are in danger. If someone's going to hit you
and you got to honk a them and make them
aware that you're there, then go ahead and use it.
But when you aggressively use the horn, man, can that
gets you in trouble? And can't it can get you shot.
I did it yesterday with Bello. We went yesterday the
Jay Leno's thing, and I knew it was Bellio and
so I makes it okay, yeah, because it was sort
(30:24):
of funny. Honked flipped her off, you know, called her
a couple of big words. And then the guys from
the Woody Show after the tour they're like, buddy, what's
going on with you? I knew that was belly, and
I didn't look like I thought it was real hothead
(30:47):
coming in hot to Jay Leno's cross.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
It's because of you that I'm still alive. Oh goods,
I've taken your advice. You know, don't hunt. Don't tell
people they're number one.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's right, especially in the summer when their windows are down,
because if you're driving around to one hundred degrees, your
windows are down. Your windows are down because you do
not have air conditioning that's working in your car. And
you know what it's like when it's eighty in your
house and you don't have air conditioning or eighty five.
You want to murder someone. You want to take somebody's
head off. But so especially if it's hot out, never
(31:25):
honked a guy with his windows down, he will kill you.
All Right, we'll come back Katie Porter botched an interview.
We'll have the audio and we'll have the reaction from
another candidate who's running for governor. Yeah, it's become like
a political show. Hope you guys like politics. Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always
(31:45):
hear us live on KFI Am six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We're going
to start with Michael Monks, who's on every Saturday from
seven to nine pm. It looks like they may have
caught a guy who could have started the fires that
wiped out a lot of Palisades and Malaby. That's huge news.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's what they announced today is that they think they
got the guy who started the Palisades fire. Which the
most interesting thing about this announcement from my perspective today,
was that he didn't directly start the Palisades fire, even
by the admission of the prosecutors. He started a smaller
fire that was known as the Lachman Fire. He started
it in the early moments of January first, back on
(00:44):
New Year's Day, and firefighters responded to this fire naturally, okay,
they and they put out as much of it as
they could. They did what they called suppression. It was suppressed,
but it was not out wow, And that was the problem.
This thing smoldered. In fact, to acting us any Bill A.
Saley described the situation like this today.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
While the Lockman fire burned, the defendant walked up the
same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire
and firefighters, using his iPhone to take short videos of
the scene. Although firefighters suppressed the blaze, the fire continued
to smolder and burn underground within the root structure of
(01:24):
the dense vegetation. So that fire started on January first,
and it smoldered underground for about a week until on
January seventh, heavy winds caused this underground fire to surface
and spread above ground, causing what became known as the
(01:45):
Palisades Fire.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So we learned today one there is someone under arrest,
and two based on these allegations, we know the origin
of the Palisades fire was an earlier, smaller fire, right,
and so.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
The fire department thought that they had that fire out,
and that thing smoldered underground for a week.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think prosecutors today were careful in the way he
described that earlier fire. They did not say the fire
was ever out. Oh, they said that this fire was suppressed,
and yes, it was deep underground and smoldered, as you
heard Bill A. Sale say, there for almost seven full wholes.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But you know what, monks, you may not have been
out here when there was a fire in the Anaheim Hills.
This must have been three or four years ago, I'm
sure Krozer remembers this. And then literally like four or
five days after it was out, it flared up again.
And I know a lot of the news media had
blamed the firefighters for not putting that out. Are they
being blamed for some of this?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There are no real answers to anything else about the
Palisades fire today. There are still many questions about the
response and the preparedness and how well we took care
of the fuel the vegetation around that area.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
All we know.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
For certain today is that federal prosecutors have a guy
that they say started a fire that smoldered underground for
six days until those Santa Ana winds blew out.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, So if they do charge him, and they do
find him guilty of that fire, they are he's probably
looking at twelve murder charges too, then.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Not yet, only charged so far with his alleged responsibility
in the fire, which would carry a sentence somewhere between
five and twenty years in prison. Now we know Acting
US Attorney Bill A. Sale from the Assembly where he
represented Riverside County for a long time, that he may
want to bring additional charges. I know that residents in
the Palisades would like to see more in the way
(03:36):
of justice. As you note, it wasn't just a ton
of buildings and homes that were destroyed. Twelve lives were
taken in this fire, so it's possible that more charges
could be coming. What we know about this guy, Jonathan Rindernecked.
He's twenty nine years old. He lived in the Palisades
at the time.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
He was working as an uber driver, and he was
driving on New Year's Eve. Investigators talked to some of
his passengers from that night.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They say that he was angry, he was upset. Well,
he lives in the Palace States, he drives, you ouper,
That means mom and dad are saying, get out there,
get a job.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Possibly, we don't know a whole lot in that regard,
but he was somebody who was not in a good
mood that night. That's what prosecutors say they were told
by passengers. So he drops off his final passenger. The
clock strikes midnight. It's now January first, twenty twenty five.
He walks up a trail, sits alone, and watches a
music video, a French rap song that he had apparently
(04:31):
watched hundreds of times on YouTube. The reason this is significant,
according to prosecutors, is because this video features a lot
of imagery of dangerous fire. He also asked Chat, GPT
and artificial intelligence platform put in a prompt create an
image for me that shows a fire destroying a city
(04:53):
and people running. So there is something they got their guy,
evidence of a guy who seems to enjoy fires and
and likes the idea of a fire threatening a community.
And ultimately that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He relocated from the Palisades to Florida, and that's where
he was arrested today.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, Michael Monks is with us every Saturday from
seven to nine pm. Did he when he lived in
the Palisades? Did he live with his parents? I don't know.
A whole lot sounds like this situation that was there.
Would you be surprised? I would not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But you know, it's not that everybody lives in the
Palisades is a wealthy person who lives on their own.
There are some options for folks to live in that area,
perhaps in a communal situation or shared situation. All we
know is that He's a twenty nine year old guy
who later relocated to Florida. More interesting about this is
when he allegedly started this fire, he called nine to
(05:42):
one one, and he called nine one one several times
and was unable to get through because of his own
service situation. That wasn't he called to report the fire.
He called to report the fire. Eventually he came down
the hill and was able to get through to nine
one one. By that point, others had also already called
and reported the fire. So he sees the fire department
(06:04):
responding to this fire, even engages with them, talks to
them first to help them, and then goes back up
the hill to take videos of the fire that he
allegedly started. So police who investigated this were able to
disprove they say, some of his earlier statements.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
He was interviewed a few weeks later.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh it's that right, twenty fourth and said a night
at the bottom of the hill when this fire started.
They were able to use that phone data to say, no,
he wasn't. They pinned him right where they think this
thing started.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, you remember back. I hate to keep, you know,
going back to old references, but there was a there
was a terrorist attack in San Bernardino. It must been
fifteen twenty years ago, and they the FBI wanted information
from this terrorist phone, and the phone companies didn't give
it to them. You know, they said that this information
on their phone is private. I think that the FBI
(07:00):
I twist the arm of some of these cell phone
companies and said, you know, that's fine for the news
and your public image, but you're giving us that information.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I think there are different levels of privacy that are
expected when you're using your phone, and they were able
to get this information.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So they say they've got that's great, that's great work
that they've done.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They say they've got a physical trail and a digital
trail that links him there. And this investigation was immense,
the alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. The Federal Bureau they led
this investigation. They're the ones, in fact, who arrested Kindernet
in Florida. The acting agent in charge here in Los
Angeles says that they brought agents in who were crawling
(07:37):
around that area on their.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Hands and knee.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I remember that looking for evidence, and that they believe
they've got a pretty strong case against this guy.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I remember when they started a similar fire up there
to see how it acted in the wind. So it
sounds like they got the guy he acted alone, though
nobody else with him as of.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Now, just this one arrest, nobody else. What was unclear
is they talked to him in January. It's October and
they've just arrested him, So what was the catalyst for
that is a bit unclear. The prosecutors also did not
want to get into any potential motive for why he
may have done this. They did show or demonstrate that
he had some interest in fire and the catastrophe that
(08:14):
it could cause, but we don't know exactly what would
have motivated him to just go up on top of
this hill and start a fire that ultimately became so
destructive and deadly.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
A black eye for uber drivers where you know, typically
they have a stellar reputation. I think you're saying that coyly.
All right, Monks, thank you. I Saturday this seven and
nine PM. We'll dive more into this on Saturday, along
with all the other news of the week. Thank you, sir,
Michael Monks. Everybody all right. Conway Show at five oh five,
(08:44):
Katie Porter got a little weird during an interview, and
we have somebody else running for governor, who's going to
respond to that interview at five oh five. So you
want to come back for that if you got to,
I don't know, use the gents.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway too, and you're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The Palisades the timeline of the events. If you're just
tuning in, they've arrested a guy and they're going to
charge him with the Palisades Fire. Sixty eight hundred homes
or more. Twelve people died. And I don't know if
it's a sense if people get you know, if you've
had your home burned to the ground in the Palisades fire,
(09:25):
I don't know if it means much to you. I thought,
I think maybe you thought that this was this is
how it happened all along, that that fire that was
started around New Year's kept smoldering for seven days, for
six days or seven days whenever it is, and then
it finally, you know, burned everybody's home down. All right,
(09:49):
we'll get into more details, but here's how you can

we've had This is also breaking news Trump Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have both signed
off on the first phase of the Gaza Peace Plan,
So that is great news. We'll get into that as well.
(10:39):
But let's go back to the timeline of the Palisades
events and the angry guy who drives uber and they've
arrested this twenty nine year old and are going to
charge him with that fire.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
So many emotions today, anger at the person authorities say
is responsible for starting that January first fire, and anger
at the Los Angeles Fire Department because people tell me
they're angry that that January first fire was able to reignite.
Residents of Pacific Palistads have long believed that January seventh
Palisades fire was caused by the rekindling of a fire
(11:13):
six days prior. Today, authorities confirmed that to be true,
and they also shared the shocking news about how the
January first fire started. They say it was an intentional
act committed by twenty nine year old Jonathan rinderneckt.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Okay, all right, so that we all know that from
Monks' report. But I think there is probably gonna be
a lot of anger there for you know, the guys
that they're supposed to put that fire out. I've never
heard of a fire smoldering that long underground. Maybe it happens.
I'm not, you know, doubting that it happens. I just
think that I don't know when you know, I knew
(11:50):
four days almost five days before that that big Santa
Ana event was going to happen. I heard it on
every single TV news date, and they said, you know,
in four days, three days, two days, it's here. You know,
they we had plenty of warning. I live in Burbank,
and I knew that that you know, horrible storm, that
(12:12):
horrible windstorm was coming, and it shook our house. I
have never ever felt wind, and I'm born and raised
here in southern California. I have never seen that type
of wind sustained for that long ever. I mean it
was literally two days. It just wouldn't stop. You know,
in the middle of the night, you think that your
house is falling down. And and so for that fire
(12:35):
to have been put out, and I don't know, maybe
it was, you know, the first year, first week of
the year, and the fire department was shorthanded. Maybe Kristin
Crawley was ripe that the fire department needs more fire engines,
more firefighters, more equipment, you know, more water. But what
(12:56):
a horrible chain of events to have a fire smoldering
for a week, the most vicious Santa Anna wins probably
in one hundred years, and no water in the reservoir.
All three of those happened at the exact same time,
all three and it's you can it is mismanagement. I
don't know who's mismanaging, but somebody mismanaged that. And nobody
(13:20):
except Kristin Crawley, who was the fire chief and said,
we need better equipment, we need more men, more women,
more water. She's the only one that got suspended or
fired or demoted. Out of everybody in California, the only
one that got demoted was the woman that had the
balls to come out and say, hey, we need more here.
(13:42):
For someone to go up into intentionally light a fire
and to put people's lives at danger and in people's
homes at dangers is absolutely devastating.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
He is charged with starting the Palistates fire.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
He started it on January first.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Authorities say Renderneck was familiar with the Palistates and had
been staying at a home on LaCosta in the Palisades
Highlands that burned in the January seventh fire. According to
the complaint, Rinderneck worked as an uber driver and in
the early morning hours of January first, he dropped off
passengers in the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I can tell you ATF has determined that the fire
was ignited with an open flame.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Authorities say while the January first fire burned, known as
the Lockman Fire, Rinderneck tried to call nine one one,
but did not get service. Cell Phone records show Rindernck
was the only person in the area where the fire started.
He left the scene, but then followed responding fire engines
back to the fire.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
While the Lochman fire burned, the defendant walked up the
same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire
and firefighters, using his iPhone to take short videos of
the scene.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Okay, so he lives on a on a street called
Via La Consta and Pacific Palisades, and I wanted to ask,
you know, I asked monks here, you know, was he
living with his parents? Because the average home on that
street goes for four million dollars And I don't know
any Uber driver who's twenty nine who's put enough money
(15:08):
away to buy a four million dollar house. Houses on
Homes and houses on Via La Consta and Pacific Palisades
have a wide range of values, with individual property estimates
varying significantly from from low end of three point one
million to the high end of five point seven million
(15:29):
as of late twenty twenty five, and a general average
being approximately four million, seventy thousand dollars. That's what the
homes we're selling for before the fire, And so you
have to imagine that he was either staying with a
friend or a family or he's living at home, because
(15:50):
nobody driving Uber can afford those homes. Those are very
expensive homes, So I don't know. We'll see a lot
more details will come out, and we'll have all of
information as it comes in. We got the Dodgers tonight.
That's a big deal. The Dodgers could sweep Philadelphia with
the win tonight. That game starts at six oh eight.
So if you're not at the stadium right now, I
(16:10):
hope you're closed because traffic is going to be rough.
And then Donald Trump says, Israel and Hamas both have
signed off on the first phase of the gods a
peace plan, and so we're working on all those. Katie
Porter's audio will go over that at five o'clock. And
if you're a Kings fan, you enjoy that last night?
Do you like that the very first game of the
(16:31):
season and the Kings were never in it? Did you
like that? It's to be a lot of that this season,
a lot of that this season. That is not a
good team, not even close. They weren't in that game
last night for thirty seconds, got blown out by Colorado.
The only interesting thing to watch in that game last
(16:51):
night is a guy named Jeff Lamont. Is that Jeff lallatter?
Jeff Lamont? Let me get his name here? Before we
take a break here, Jeff Mallott m A. L Ott.
His brother is a professional fighter, and this kid is
strong and can and can fight. They should go out
and get twenty five Jeff mallotts and just call it
(17:15):
a season, and just you know, you go down to
the stadium, the the arena every night just to watch
the Kings fight like the old days, like with Jay Wells,
you know, and at Todd McClelland or the old old school.
He's a goon. Yeah, you go down there, fill up
that bench with forty goons. I'll be there every night,
every night watch that. But I'm not going to watch this.
(17:36):
This is no good, no good.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six. Forty.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Dodgers start in about an hour and twenty now, about
an hour and a half, hour and a half now,
almost exactly an hour and a half now. The Dodgers
will start at Dodgers Stadium. I'm looking at a live
shot on Channel five. There are people in their seats already.
It's an hour and a half before the first pitch
(18:05):
and there are already people there. So it's gonna be crowded.
Is Angel available, Angel Martinez? You weathers Baman bought her
up there she is, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
We missed you last week. This show sucks without you.
We got a lot of emails saying that, oh man,
yeah really yeah wow, mostly coming from a really suspicious
email address because Martina is in it.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Oh yeah, they're still we're still looking at it, all right, pleakay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So Dodger Stadium, everyone's there's gonna be fifty seven fifty
six thousand people trying to get in. What is the
traffic like around the stadium.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
So it's been really busy for the past couple of hours,
just heading into Chavez Ravine. Like I've been gauging it
by looking at the two and that too southbound sewing
out of Gloucell Park from Fletcher Drive. A little while ago,
it was backing up from York Boulevard, which is you know,
the next exit back, but it's you know, it's it's
fluctuating back and forth.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So that's full.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
The drive out of Burbank is loaded on the five southbound,
you're on the let's see, it's backing up all the way.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
From about Olive just before Olive. Wow, man, that's a
long way.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
But check this out the northbound side of the five.
You've got delays all the way out of Lamorada from
Valley View and it finally looks better by the one
thirty four. It's just stacked right now.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What about the one ten north coming from Long Beach Sampedro.
Is that jammed?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Oh my gosh, it's backing up all the way from
the four oh five.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh is that No, wait a minute, in the four
o five. That's got to be. It's got to be
twelve miles.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
It's it's pretty far. It's me let me, let me
see what the distance and the time is from that.
So it's it's backing up from right between the ninety
one and the floor, Oh my god. And the drive
is solid all the way to the freeway that is
seven but just about eighteen miles. They'll take you just
(20:04):
over an hour.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All right? So is there any hope? I mean, is
the one oh one coming out of the valley is
that all screwed up to?
Speaker 7 (20:12):
Yeah, it's pretty slammed out of Calabasas all the way
from Lost Hills out of yes, yes, almost Agora Hills.
Like the next exit back is a Liberty Canyon, and
it's it's starting to push back before people's till right
now people angry as.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Hell, you know, because they figure, okay, we'll leave an
hour and a half before the game, we'll be there,
but some people won't be there, you know. I mean,
that's that's a that's a twenty mile drive from Calabasas
or eighteen. You know, it's got to be the same
distance that it is from the four or five, you know,
the one ten getting in there is there any relief anywhere?
What about coming south on the one ten to get
(20:52):
to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
So if you're dropping in from South Pasadena, that drive looks.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Really good right now.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Oh good, okay, until you make your way to the
five and then you know it's not that far to
stadium way beyond that, but that's where the delays begin
right now, is at the five on the one ten southbound,
and then of course the surface streets leading in to
all the parking lots are just you know, it's a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, all right, thank you, Angel Martinez. Thing gone with it,
all right, We're gonna come back and talk about the
peace talks here. According to Donald Trump Donald J. Trump,
President Trump. He says, Israel and Hamas both signed off
on the first phase of the gods a peace plan,
and we'll come back and give you those details. And
the top of the hour, Katie Porter sort of stepped
(21:38):
in it and made a kind of an error in
talking to a reporter, and that video has gone viral.
We'll have another candidate who's running for governor of the
state of California respond to that. So we got a
lot going on, lot going on here on KFI, and
we'll also follow the traffic getting into Dodger Stadium, and
(22:00):
also we'll give you Dodger scores throughout the night. So
this is really the only station that does all this.
All the other stations are I don't know, they're doing
some other I don't know they're doing weather all day.
We're not doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Lots going on today. You got the Dodgers, you've got
the arrest for the Palisades fire, You've got Israel and
Hamas both signing off on this deal, and you have
Katie Porter. Katie Porter in the news for butchering an interview,
and we'll talk about that at the top of the
hour with another candidate's running for governor of the state
(22:42):
of California. Lots going on, lots going on, and the
Kings Laiden egg last night. Hope you enjoyed that. The
Kings are going through a fifty year rebuild. So first
twenty years is just getting to know the players, and
then the next five is getting new players because those
players have been in the league for twenty years, and
(23:02):
then it's getting to know the new players for ten years,
and then getting to getting better players for another ten years,
and then maybe another Cup in fifty years. So it's
a fifty year rebuild with the Kings, And I hope
you enjoyed that game last night. If I was Adrian Kempei,
I'd get on a plane go to Florida, Pittsburgh or
New York. I would not sign with this team. All right,
(23:24):
let's talk about the peace agreement. The peace talks both
signed off Hamas and Israel, and that's a big deal,
big huge deal. President Trump's been waiting for a long
time to announce this, so let's find out some of
the details.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Clearly, the President has been wanting to announce this deal
for quite some time. It was very important to him
clearly to announce it before either the Israelis or Hamas.
We have just now received confirmation from the Qataris, but
it was President Trump who came out with that true
social post first. At the end of it, he quoted
scripture even saying blessed are the Peacemakers. So it's definitely
(23:59):
very very significant for the President to be able to
make this announcement annacement. This comes just days after the
President hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here at the
White House. I was there as the President announced that
twenty point piece plan of actually go along with it.
There were many leaders from the Middle East and from
the Arab world that did throw their support behind that
(24:20):
piece deal, but there were very many questions about whether
Hamas would go along. As you've been discussing with Richard, though,
there are questions about how this moves forward from here.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't know who Richard is he goes, but I
guess he's on a first name basis.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
As you've been discussing with Richard, though, there are questions
about how this moves forward from here, whether there might
be accusations of violating this ceasefire, but still extremely significant
that two years into this war we now have some
sort of an agreement to reach those hostages. Now we
were waiting any new world.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
It was two years what was it two years yesterday?
Was it October seventh?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, two years yesterday, man oh Man.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
From the White House. We have yet to receive it.
But again President expecting to go to the Middle East,
potentially leaving Saturday, arriving there Sunday, perhaps going to Egypt.
But again these details are still very fluid. Just moments
after this piece deal, the first phase of it. Anyway,
we're just announced.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yes, I was reading online about one of the hostages,
one of the Israeli hostages, and he was being held
hundreds of feet underground. He was given he was held
for almost two years, and he was given a half
a piece of pita bread every day to eat, and
once the captors had left him alone, he would search
(25:34):
on the floor, on the dirt floor, for any crumbs
that he could eat. And his whole goal, excuse me,
his whole goal was to try to get back to
see his wife and his two kids, his two daughters.
And so he was finally released and he got out.
He was given over from the Red Cross. Moss gave
(25:55):
him to the Red Cross. Red Cross gave him to
the Israelis and they said, were taking you to the
hospital in Tel Aviv, and he said, oh, to see
my I can't wait to see my wife, my daughters.
And he said, well, you're going to see your parents first,
and he knew that that was not good. And what
he found out that while on October seventh, two years ago,
(26:18):
his wife and two daughters were murdered, and he was
using that to hold on for almost two years, being
held hostage, and then he gets out and his wife's
to find out his wife and his two young, beautiful
daughters were murdered. And there's hundreds of stories like that,
you know, on both sides. It's been a horrible, horrible
(26:41):
situation for the last two years. And so maybe maybe
for the first time and I don't know one thousand,
two thousand years, some say three thousand, that there could
be some peace in that area. That would be great.
I think we'd all welcome that, all right. So if
we have any more details on that, we will have
(27:04):
them for you. But I'm sure that's going to be
a big signing at the White house, and everyone will
keep an eye on it to see if you know,
what the mediators do, who's going to be in charge
of implementing this. The Egyptians might get involved, there was
some news about that, and also Trump is considering traveling
to them at least in the coming days to sign
(27:27):
this agreement between the Israelis and Hamas, and that would
be a big deal. I think that'd be a big
international probably the biggest event of the year, and maybe
there is some peace for those people who live in
that area. Wouldn't that be great? But the negotiations are
two years and two days when they came up to
(27:51):
an agreement two years and two days after the initial
attack on October seven, twenty twenty three. So we'll keep on.
I'm sure you're keeping an eye on that as well.
There's a lot of people that have invested is a
lot of time in that, whether protesting for either side
(28:12):
or being nervous about going to temple on Jewish holidays
while that war is still going on. There's a lot
of tension, a lot of tension, a lot of anger
in this country, and a lot of hostile people. A lot.
I see it all the time. I used to see
road rage when I was driving around, you know, when
I was sixteen seventeen. I got my license at sixteen,
(28:34):
and I would see road rage maybe once every other month, right,
maybe once every maybe two or three times a year,
and sometimes not even once a year. Now I see
road rage almost every day. I drive, almost every day
I go if I take the full, you know, on
a Saturday, especially on Saturday and Sunday, if I spend
(28:56):
the day, you know, running around doing whatever on a
Saturday or Sunday, I see road rage probably be four
or five six times a day easily, easily, you know,
whether it's just a honk and a guy flipping another
guy off, or a guy getting out of his car
to fight somebody. I saw it last night. I saw
it last night. I was driving southbound on Victory to
turn right on Olive, and a guy wasn't turning right
(29:16):
on a red light, and he honked at him. The
guy flipped him off, and they both got out of
their car, and another guy driving in the truck yells
at him. He goes, you guys are gonna effing fight
over this, over over a guy who's you know, taking
thirty more seconds to turn right you're gonna fist fight
over this. I remember that term. He kept saying, You're
gonna fist fight over this. You're gonna fist fight over this.
(29:38):
And they both got back in their car and they
split kind of it. They were kind of I guess embarrassed. Bye.
There's a lot of anger out there, man, a lot
of hostility. That's why I always recommend and I'm glad.
Angel Martinez reminds me all the time, especially when it's
hot out. But I extended Angel now I'm extending it
to uh Winter as well. Don't use the horn unless
(30:01):
you are in danger. If someone's going to hit you
and you got to honk a them and make them
aware that you're there, then go ahead and use it.
But when you aggressively use the horn, man, can that
gets you in trouble? And can't it can get you shot.
I did it yesterday with Bello. We went yesterday the
Jay Leno's thing, and I knew it was Bellio and
so I makes it okay, yeah, because it was sort
(30:24):
of funny. Honked flipped her off, you know, called her
a couple of big words. And then the guys from
the Woody Show after the tour they're like, buddy, what's
going on with you? I knew that was belly, and
I didn't look like I thought it was real hothead
(30:47):
coming in hot to Jay Leno's cross.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
It's because of you that I'm still alive. Oh goods,
I've taken your advice. You know, don't hunt. Don't tell
people they're number one.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's right, especially in the summer when their windows are down,
because if you're driving around to one hundred degrees, your
windows are down. Your windows are down because you do
not have air conditioning that's working in your car. And
you know what it's like when it's eighty in your
house and you don't have air conditioning or eighty five.
You want to murder someone. You want to take somebody's
head off. But so especially if it's hot out, never
(31:25):
honked a guy with his windows down, he will kill you.
All Right, we'll come back Katie Porter botched an interview.
We'll have the audio and we'll have the reaction from
another candidate who's running for governor. Yeah, it's become like
a political show. Hope you guys like politics. Conway Show
