Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Conway Show Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
On a Tuesday. Everybody, please be seated. Yeah, nice to
see you, dude. I love seeing you Conway. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I like to see you too, buddy, I really do.
All right, did that sounds sincere?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I think it did. Now cares all right, let's get
You're gonna talk to my favorite reporter. I like it
all right.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Your favorite reporter, Alex Stone from ABWS is Alex.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
How you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
There you are?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah? Yeah, hey, I was just saying it's great to
see you.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh I see yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
How are the egg prices or are we doing something different?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
We can talk eggs if you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Did you see Southwest?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, everything that made Southwest Southwest is slowly going away.
The signed seating. Now they're gonna charge for bags. Oh
my god, your credits are gonna expire after a year.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
What wait a minute, your mileage is going to expire.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
If you get a credit, if you can you bank
some money, you know, you cancel them in bank. It's
going to be a year now.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You know the only reason to have flown Southwest is well,
it's convenient, and it's you know, it's relatively cheap. But
the free bags and changing flights whenever you want, I mean,
that's a that's a parent's dream for college kids who
change their mind every eight seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, and for a lot of other people too. And they,
you know, they used to always say, no, we'll never
bring in charges for bags because we get more business
out of people coming to us because they don't have
to pay for bags. We make more money that way. Well, whoop,
that's out of the window right now. Now they're just
like every other airline that the extra leg room seats
up front. They didn't quite do a first class, but
they're they're putting an extra you know, kind of like
economy plus upfront.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I wrote an email because I got a friend who
works over at Southwest, and I said, buddy, what's going
on with this? You know, charge you with the bags?
I said, I'll get you can get me on board
if if you know, radio guys get free bags. He's like, oh, yeah,
there's a good idea. May we'll look into them.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Radio days. Yeah, bring back the peanuts at least you
know they got rid of those.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He said, peanuts. Don't think that, Yeah not might we're
so running scared around here, might you for the clarification,
All right, so we we're talking airplanes here though, right, yes, yeah,
bad vibes.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Uh yeah. So the the American Airlines crash with the
Army helicopter back in late January. So today there was
a bunch of action on this. In the last couple hours.
The NTSB came out. They said there are urgent safety
recommendations that the FAA has to make immediately for life
and safety. That this is about saving lives. The changes
need to be made now at Reagan National Land, maybe
(02:45):
other airports as well, restricting helicopters from flying under landing
aircraft where the American Airlines regional jet and the helicopter
came together. In this case, the helicopters go down the
Potomac River. They what's called transition under the the landing
pattern to get to the other side of the airport,
and they go near runway three to three, they go
under the planes and then they continue on. And in
(03:07):
the case of the plane and helicopter, it didn't work out,
and today Jennifer, but that wasn't a rule before, that
was not a rule. They would go right underneath the
landing aircraft. They do a little bit of that at
LAX as well. But NTSB chaired Jennifer Homedy today saying
that system doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Urgent recommendations require immediate action to prevent similar accidents or incidents.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So the NTSB found that in a best case scenario
that helicopters have been allowed to pass at DCA a
Reagan National less than seventy five feet below landing aircraft,
and that's been acceptable for many years, and it can
be less than that. It could be fifty feet. They
think that in the Army helicopter that they had a
bad reading on their altimeter and that they were higher
than they thought that they were. So you get just
(03:51):
a little bit off in aviation, and you're talking like
fifty feet was the regular distance between or seventy five
at most between planes and helicopters. From twenty twenty one
to twenty twenty four, they found now over fifteen thousand
close events between a chopper and a plane at Reagan National.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh my gosh, that's shocking. I mean, that really is.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Eighty yeah, eighty five of them were super close where
it was a very close call.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Pose an intolerable risk to aviation safety by increasing the
chances of a mid air collision at DCA.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
And they found that from twenty eleven to twenty twenty
four that once a month T casts the collision avoidance
system that is like evade, evade, escape, escape, left, right up, down,
which is what the American Airlines plane had in about
one second before they hit.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Wait, wait wait. The avoidance system is called t.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Crash T casts traffic Collision Avoidance system that they've been
getting those they've been alerting once a month since twenty
eleven that they're getting so close that they are within
striking distance and it's been happening over and over again.
So typically these NTSB recommendations they often go nowhere where
they put them out there, and because they can't make
rules of the NTSB, they can just investigate and put
(05:03):
out and then an agency like the FAA has to
do it, and if they do do it, it usually takes
a really long time. Today, two hours later, Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy came out and said, message received. We're gonna
do what you want.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
To threaten a needle allowing helicopters to fly down the
same airspace as landing aircraft, and why this information wasn't
studied and known before January twenty ninth is an important question.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So they're gonna bar helicopters from going under those planes
at Reagan National and they will work, they say, with
the military to find another route, and they may have
to pause landings at Reagan National if the President is
moving and they need to move helicopters through the airspace
or they've got an emergency. But he also said they
he wants to know why the FAA up until this happened,
did not already know all this data and that they
(05:50):
had not studied.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
How did the fa not know? How do they not
study the data to say, hey, this is a hotspot
we're having your missus and if we don't change way.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We're going to lose lives and guys. He said today
the FAA is now going to use AI to go
through loads of data from LAX and all other reports
in the US and Burdbank everybody else to know where
the danger zones are of choppers and planes coming together
so that this doesn't happen somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Our AI tools will help us identify those and take
corrective actions preemptively as opposed to retroactivity SOSS.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They want that data, then they're going to make changes.
He also said today air traffic Control, I don't we
don't know where the funding is are going to come
from for this, but that they are going to upgrade
from floppy disc from the eighties that they're still using
right now, and radar that was installed radar technology in
the seventies and early eighties to modern day. They're still
using copper you know, like pots lines, the old plan,
old telephone service god that they are going to go
(06:46):
to fiber optic and wireless and satellite I mean probably
starlink right satellite. But it's that they plan on doing it.
They got to get the money to do it, but
they want to update what they what air traffic Control
is using. You can get more accurate at times on
your phone on the apps like flight Radar twenty four
than sometimes what they're able to get in the tower
(07:07):
from the old radar data. So I mean you have
more power in your hand than sometimes what they've got
up in the tower.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, Alex done is with us from ABC News. Doesn't
that make sense and more sense to just shut that
airport down.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Reagan National. I mean there have been calls for it,
just like Santa Monica and some of the others.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Not only are they not shutting it down, but the
air traffic is actually increased. And you know the reason
for that, Alex Stone, So do you tim Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Because it's closer to uh, you know, the cat wants
to go out to Dullas exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And it's gotten busier and busier and bigger and bigger
planes and more and more people want to fly right there.
Locals never want to go out to Dulls And yeah,
it's gotten really busy, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Dulles have a light rail that goes out there every
ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Probably that's a long way out about ten minutes, but yeah,
it's a long way, but they do. They do have rail,
unlike uh in Los Angeles, what do you mean there's
high street rail. You want to talk a freendone can
el should take and of course you can take it
from Reagan National. You can get a train anywhere and
wash right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But every airport I've ever been to outside of lax Burbank,
Long Beach and Orange County has light rail coming right
into it and what and we just failed.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, Burbank, you can do that one that's what like
a mile away and then take a bus.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, you gotta walk. You gotta walk with your luggage
for like a half mile. And that's always an ugly
look when you're dragging you know, bags in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You can't do it anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But every but every airport you go to, you know,
just Portland or Seattle, they have all these you know,
the subway comes right in there, or the light rail
comes right into the airport, and we just didn't. We
failed here in l A. Yeah, well that's the only
failure we had in La.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Martin, San Francisco. I mean literally like pulls into the
airport right yeah, into the turbine. Same with the with
the Portland comes right in. You never you don't even
have to go outside. It comes right into the airport.
You get in and you're gone. Yeah, yeah, well it sucks.
Well we all let that happen though, as a society.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And you know what happened was the taxi driver the
taxi union was so strong that they fought against all
the light rail going into all these airports.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh really, now it does make sense. Not surprising, but yeah,
LA is gonna have that for the Olympics though. Isn't
that part of the whole people mover thing they're building.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And then the coward mayors that we had, they all
cowered to the taxi union and said, oh, anything you want,
anything you want, So yeah, that's where we live. Alex Stone,
thanks for coming on, Bob.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
You got to have a good show.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right, there you go. I have a flight into
DCA into Reagan next month.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Can you fly from Burbank or lax to into d C.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Oh? Yeah, going to see mom and you can. There's
a direct flight in. Wow, They're not as frequent as
the ones of Dulles, but they do. And then you're
just right there in the city already.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
When I land in Burbank, I give my seatbelt an
extra tug before I land, and I reach over to
my daughter and wife and I tighten hers up there
as well. Yeah, look, I don't know, you know, it's
a very short runway. Sure, And the guy slams it
down and you're like, oh man, we made it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We made it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Was like a carnival ride you.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Don't want to end up upside down like.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No, no, no, and and I you knows about twenty
five or thirty years ago, a plane landed in Burbank,
didn't stop on the runway, went across Hollywood Way into
a gas station. Somebody put a gas station at the
end of the runway.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, so city planners.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And we have the world's greatest White House correspondent in
the history of the White House, John Decker with iHeartMedia
white House correspondent here with why iHeart media?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
John? How you bub Well?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Flattery? Flattery will get you everywhere, as they say, that's
very kind of you. I don't think that I deserve
that title, but thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Okay, okay, well.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Let's go through that.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I got a pen.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Give me the list of iHeart White House correspondents you
think are better now it's iHeart Okay, yeah, party, give
me any correspondent that knows what they're doing and he's
been there that long. Nobody, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't the compline, don't argue with the complience.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There you go, Hey, sir, John, A crazy week again
in Washington. I was watching a little bit of the
vote today on the budget. I think they called it
a CR or something like that. Did it pass?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It passed.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It did pass the House of Representatives and now goes
over to the Senate, and what happens in the Senate
still unknown. You need to get Democratic support to pass
it because you need sixty votes in the Senate, and
the breakdown in the Senate is fifty three forty seven,
so seven Senate Democrats need to come on board. I
(11:45):
don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I mean, but they they got significant Democrats to
improve it in the House, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I think they got one Democrat to approve the CR
in the House, but also one Republican voted against it.
They can't sold each other out, so it really was
along party lines. As it relates to what happened in
the House today.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And that deadline's coming up pretty quickly on Friday.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Friday midnight, we've seen Congress kick the can down the road.
That's what they're doing, and that's what they've been doing.
And now what this particular budget resolution does, continuing Resolution
does is it would provide funding for the rest of
the fiscal year. But here's the thing in it would
cut a non defense discretionary funding by thirteen billion dollars
(12:34):
over what was spent in twenty twenty four. It would
increase defense spending by six billion dollars. But it's those
cuts to non defense discretionary spending that is a non
starter for so many Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, and then what about the Education Apartment? Would you
feel comfortable if you were working at the educator Apartment
of Education?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No, No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I assume you've broken this news about what happened within
the past I guess ninety minutes. They're essentially laying off
half of the employees at the Department of Education. That
is something we have not seen that kind of layoff
number in any federal department up until this point.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So, and that's good. Right now, they've evacuated the building,
told everyone to take home their laptops and then to
come back on Thursday. What is the evacuation over Is
it a structural issue with the building? That's my take.
I might be wrong, you.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Might be wrong.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It's a strange way to do things, and you know
you're getting pushedback even from some Republicans that this process
of laying people off isn't very compassionate, and you can
see why. Really it's kind of demeaning in the way
they're treating sure professional people who've worked at these departments
and agencies for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I heard they're getting no severans and no benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that right that I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It literally broke with in the past ninety minutes, so
I don't know all the details concerning how this layoff
is going to work.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Okay, and then again John Dagger's with US White House
correspondent with iHeartMedia, the fight between Canada and the United
States is at an all time high when it comes
to tension, I imagine it is.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
My understanding, by the way, is that if you were
to attend a hockey game between a Canadian NHL club
and an American NHL club in Canada, they're still doing
the national anthem. I mean, they just are not letting up.
There is a lot of bad blood between our neighbor
to the north, and it's because of these threatened tariffs
by President Trump that go into effect in less than
(14:39):
a month's time. On April to second, tariffs go into
effect and that obviously is why you see this response
coming from various Canadian officials and also, you know, just
regular folks at a hockey game, not pleased with the
way things are going, the relationship between the US and Canada.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, they do it the NBA as well. Imagine they'll
do it major League Baseball. You know they they've they've
narrowed it down. You know who started booing the national
anthem in Canada? Tell me Mark Thompson? Yeah him, crazy?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Am? How dare you?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What's up with you?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And then finally Tesla has brought their cars and trucks
to the White House, I imagine to get a little
bumped because of all the bad news coming towards Elon.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I mean his stock is down double digit percentages since
at the beginning of the year. I guess this is
a way to help out Tesla sales. I think other
companies that have seen sales decline or there's stock price
declined since the vignon the year would love to have
a cheerleader like President Trump. He was a cheerleader for
Tesla today and Tesla products at the White House today.
(15:53):
But the President and Elon must taking questions on the
south lawn today while a number of new Tesla's who
are right there on the south line. It was like
a showroom essentially on the south line of the White
House today.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And and and finally, I know that, you know, the
White House briefings, that room is filled. You're seeing a
lot of people who've never been to the White House
briefing before. A lot of internet are they dominating that room.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
There are a lot of people I've never seen before
at the White House Press briefing over the course of
you know, the start of this administration.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And you know, good for them.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I mean, you know, if they get I'm sure they've
never had an opportunity like that before. I have no
problem with it. I there was a briefing today, I
got called on oh good questions to Caroline Levitt, you know,
And it's it's one of those things where it's I
think it's a thrill for them to be at the
White House. It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be
called by the White House Press Secretary or have an
(16:51):
opportunity to potentially go into the Oval Office for an event.
But I'm sure it's a thrill for you know, someone
who has a podcast, for instance, who's coming to the
White House for the very first time.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
When you go to the.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
White House with your equipment, is the Secret Service very
very picky about what you bring in. They look through everything.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
When you say my equipment, I come in with my equipment.
I leave at the White House. I have workspace there.
But you know when you talk about like radio equipment,
but you know, when I bring my backpack into the
White House, it goes through metal detector, just like you
were at the airport, and you know, then you get
wanded and you go through a metal detector, all of
(17:34):
that kind of stuff. And that happens every day. I
go to the White House. Great security, good people in
the Secret Service that work there, protecting the White House,
the White House complex, the President.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So that's what I do.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I have to do every day when I go to
the White House.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know a lot of times you hear a guy
go through an airport and there's a gun in his bag.
He's like, oh, his wife left it there. He forgot
it was there. I imagine there's a bit of a
chawn to talk or a speed wrapping if that happens
at the White House, though.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Uh, Yeah, that wouldn't go over that well.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Believe me, that would not go over well.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
They have good sense of humors, don't get me wrong,
but that is not something that would that would go
over well. I think that would lead to someone being
tackled violently.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
By the speaking of which the memory during the Trump
first term, somebody did get over the fence and into
the in the living quarters. Yeah that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, right,
I remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
That's crazy that that happened.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
John, I'm gonna go back and listen to the press conference.
What was the question you asked today?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh? I go back.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I think I'm the fourth or fifth person called on,
so you don't have to listen to the entire press conference.
I asked the question in regards to what we're seeing
in the stock market, uh, and also asked a question
about the CR and whether there's outreach to Democrats as
it relates to trying to pass the CR. So that's
what I asked today, Bunny.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I appreciate you coming on and we'll check back.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You always enjoyment in your show.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The next time something major in Washington happens, we'll call
on you, which well I'm pinb about in an hour
or so. Yeah, every hour. Thanks, don appreciate it. See
you job, John Decker, Thanks Man White House correspondent with iHeartMedia.
That guy is great man. He's been around a long
time in that White House and that oval Off is
(19:16):
buzzing around there. We got a direct connection now White House. Yeah,
it's cool deal.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here and at five
o'clock we'll we'll discuss whether allowing your teens to drink
at home is a good idea or not. Wow, did
you drink at home when you're a kid?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I think I did in college. They and my parents,
my parents who don't drink at all, didn't drink at all.
And it wasn't like some they were dying for a drink,
but they're in the program so they can't. They just
never drank. And because I was drinking, I picked it
up in college. I remember them sort of openlyly, openly
worrying about me because I mean, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Did they sit down with you?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But I just remember the conversations I had them in
front of me, so as to maybe you know, communicate
that it was a concern.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, one of those things called where you get to
circle and you talk about how much you love the guy,
but he's got to stop everything in his life.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
In it wasn't quite that.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I had a friend who I didn't think he was
overdoing it, but his parents did, and so there was
an intervention for him. And it was at a hotel
and you know, friends, family, co workers, you know. He
walks in, he's like, oh Jesus Christ, here we go. Yeah,
(20:44):
and everybody's talking. And then when it was finally ah,
the next guy to speak was a really another very
good friend of mine I've known since seventh grade. And
he stands up. I think that's the tradition. You stand up,
you tell the person how much you love him, how
what they mean to you and everything. He stands up
and he starts laughing. And he can't stop laughing at
(21:06):
this guy, and they kicked him out. They threw him
out of the Wow, the intervention, Yeah, that's not I've
never seen a guy thrown out of a nervous.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Sure, I'm sure it happens, but you don't hear about him.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Much laughing his ass off. He can't stop I was at.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
A I used to play cards with a couple of
guys who were came out of AA and one of
them turned forty and his wife had a big party
for him at the house. And after the dinner, which
was gorgeous and everything was just like just so, they
had everybody collect inside and they asked his friends to
(21:42):
come up and say something about him, and everybody got
up one at a time, and after about five of
these speeches, they were all very similar. It was like,
this guy helped me when I was down. I was
nobody wanted to talk to me, nobody wanted to support me,
and he came through and he's still like a brother
to me and everything. But the speeches were lengthy and
(22:02):
they were really like heartfelt. And she walked over to
me quietly and she said, because he was AA and
and this after this comment, I realized most of the
room is AA and so the speeches you're hearing are
very AA. And she said, please say something. This is
sounding like a meeting. So I went up that it
(22:25):
was great and it's great to follow that, right because
they're all being really super stilly. Yeah, so whatever I say,
I can get a laugh. Oh that's it right, I said,
I only know him and love him because he's the
crappiest card player I've ever met, and I always I'll
always appreciate him, So happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I've always wanted to do this, but I've never had
the balls to do it. I want to go to
a gambler's anonymous meeting. You know, there's a couple hundred people,
big one, serious, big, you know, big group, and I
want to get up behind Mi na as Tim, Hey, Tim.
I recently went to Vegas. I took two thousand dollars
with me. I didn't tell my I started gambling and
(23:03):
I turned that two thousand into forty nine thousand dollars,
and I knew at that point I probably have a problem,
so I quit. How many people would want to rush
the stage and cut that guy's throat?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That was your problem?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Wait a minute, So you're up. You're up forty seven
thousand dollars and you're at this meeting.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Sam Kinnison used to say it costs ten thousand dollars
cash to go to rehab for a month. And Sam's
line was, you show me a guy with ten thousand
dollars cash, and I'll show you a guy, it doesn't
have a coke problem yet. Probably true, you know, probably true,
probably true.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I know a lot of people are you know who've
been to these meetings are like, oh these.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Guys, well, usually the thing that they do at the meeting,
because I've been involved with family members who you know,
and friends, they usually want the person to go right
to rehab, right right from oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
that's the plan.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There's a suitcase always packed, you know, and he's got
to go.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I mean, it's been an effective way to try to
get people to you know, straighten out their life. It's
been effective.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But you know, I've always jokingly said to my friends,
but I think they took this seriously. I said, guys, look,
if you ever do an intervention for me, I'll go.
I'll take the suitcase. I'll go to Phoenix, you know,
dry out whatever. But once I get out, I will
I will have written down every one of your names
and I'll come back and ruin your life. And so
(24:39):
I think that's pushed them off my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So you you don't have to worry because of that.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, threat, the.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Threat of me ruining their lives like they ruined mine
is it was big.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
John mulaney had an intervention and he talked about it
in his act. It was filled with celebrities, and he
said that maybe ten minutes into the inner mention looks
around the room and he goes, this is a pretty
impressive intervention. This is mostly a list people who are here.
I mean, I got to think of all the interventions
there're ben this is like one of the most stars studded.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He was very funny. He said he was doing so
much coke that the word out on the street would
to the other dealers was don't sell John Mulaney anymore
coke exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And you know you're doing too much when your dealer says, dude,
lay off it from you.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
When your dealers at the intervention like, oh man, I've
ever seen a guy like this before in my life.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Whoof.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But you know that John Mullaney is And it's pretty
rare because he got he was funny while he was
on coke, but he's just as funny off coke.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
No, he's very very talented.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
That's pretty rare. Yeah, you know, usually that coke is
what gives you the energy and the right in a
different mindset.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
At least you'd think that you'd notice a difference in
the way he performs, and you can't see any difference.
He's really quite toalent. He's terrific. Are you a funny dude?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
All right, we're live on KFI.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
What we got here?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Coming up at five o'clock. Oh yeah, we're going to
tell you whether drinking it as a team is good for.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You or not.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You could probably guess. I don't know why we're waiting.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on Demya from KFI
Am six forty on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I've been very fortunate to have been asked to present
the awards to the Huntington Beach Police Department.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And this is in lieu of jail time.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
My future fure favorite been good, okay, And so they
just sent me the script and it's sixty sixty one pages.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Well, that's a lot of distinguished work from a lot
of people down there.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, and so I'll be reading sixty one pages to
people who have done great work. And I have been
reading through this. I can't tell you how great some
of those cops are saving lives and the heroism is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I'll tell you what you can't do. You can't run
out of gas. You've got to pace yourself. Okay, So
don't spend yourself by page thirty. You've got sixty one pages,
and you've got to get that sixty first page as
much energy and conwayism as you do the first page.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's why you're coming with me. You get thirty, I
get thirty, and we're going to knock this out. So
I'll be down there and then I and I was
listening to Dallas rains. You know, Dallas rains. Where have
you met Dallas Range?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh? Yeah, no, I'd likely Dallas number.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
One weather guy in my book?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I think you can make that argument.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I think you could absolutely Why not make it? Let's
I'm happy to decar it with you.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So on Thursday morning, when I'm driving from Burbank to
Huntington Beach to present these awards, they'll be the biggest
storm we've had.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
In a year. Is that what Dallas is saying? I think?
Speaker 9 (27:47):
So let's find out by a lot of snow and
that will occur on Thursday and into Thursday night and Friday.
Up at the big Beer Lake carry we could see
where between a foot and a foot and a half
of snow today. It was light rain showers, no problems and.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Watch out those eaglets, you know, but half of snow
on these babies.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Sure operating down at La x Live Begadoppolo seven thousand A.
You see some little light rain coming down from Thousand
Oaks on down to just north of Long Beach this afternoon.
Light showers from Compton. Good afternoon to you, Hey, good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Hey everybody in Compton. You know that you never did that?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, never, Hey, Long Beach, Never Beach. I think it's
a hack thing.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I love him, but it's not. It's just not and
maybe he can sell it. I just felt it like, Hey,
Lung Beach, Hey, good evening, Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hey Tarzana, Yeah, Hi there.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And Bearino, what's up today.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think he does that just to irritate people, and
I think it works anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well everything works for him, so he can do it.
I think.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Hello Compton, Light showers from Compton. Good afternoon to you.
And Santa Monica getting some rain.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Heaviest rain today has been pretty much where I thought
it would be this time yesterday. Is from around the
San Clemittee, Southern o c down all the way into
San Diego because that's where that area of low pressure is.
So with the circulation around that low pressure, we are
seeing some of these showers kind of brought up out
of the South into the IE and also southern O Sea.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You know, since you're an ex weatherman or former weather meteorologist,
sure can you listen to this and find out more information.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Than we do?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Like the layman, No, I think he boils it down
really well.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I think he's really good. Yeah, and he boils it down,
which is what you need to do. That's right up.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
The big bears some very light flories. You could see
that just a few minutes ago on our live camera.
But this weather system is not producing a lot of snow.
That will change though once we get into Thursday, Thursday
afternoon and Friday.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
There's a center that low with the.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
Heaviest activities or convections clouds.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
See does that mean that means that lifting? There's a
lot of lifting in them. There's like those big puffy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Vertical vertical development that mean a lot of water it can, yes.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
Typically activities are convections clouds these.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Have Would it be wrong of him or for you
to say hello, convection clouds, serious clouds. Never heard that,
mister convection. Nice to see you, hello, seven foot waves.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Lightning and even some thunder with it too.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
So look at the flood watch that covers most of
southern California that starts as we get into tomorrow at
six pm. It'll last all night into Thursday at six pm.
Anywhere between two and four inches of rain is anticipating.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No, you's got to you know, the two people have
to be very worried about this rain. A people live
in burn scars and b like we played yesterday, people
living in storm drains. We had a story yesterday where
guy was living in a gutter. He's living in a drain.
(30:51):
And we asked Belli O on the air, Hey, are
you a snob? And she said no, of course I'm not.
Say would you date a guy living in a drain?
And she said no, kind of snobbish. I didn't really
consider it in the context. Yeah, is belly in there? No, Okay,
(31:13):
I need to know the exact She said, she wouldn't
date anybody living in a drain. Yeah, yeah, it might
be a red flag her or him. You know, another
group that's got to watch the weather. Forecast. Guys living
in the La River, you know, you got to know
when to pack up your tent and move to the
(31:35):
higher ground.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, they typically are probably pretty good about that, right.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Sometimes you hear that. I think that's why the swift
water rescue guys are around.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
There's a lot of debris that goes into that. So
there's got that debris coming from somewhere.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, it's the homeless guy who woke up late and
didn't listen to Dallas rains and now he's, you know,
on his way to Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So yeah, there's that too.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Had the rainfall intensities could be up there too.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
We're between three quarters and an inch per hour and
that can certainly cause much lights.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
I do expect much lights and de brief flow. Here's
a great panting.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Shot looking northbound towards the south by where showers are occurring.
You saw those on the radar, and we're going to
see more rain coming through once that squall line gets
in here.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
What's a squall line.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's a line of heavy showers, Okay, snow, but you're.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
On top of it, man, you know, squall line gets
a squall line, That squall line gets in here early
Friday Thursday morning, you'll really see some heavy rain. So
the center of the low tonight spiraling around. We talked
about this yesterday, some coming out of the south making
it to the OC. But this low is going to
track on into northern Baja tonight, so we'll see a
(32:44):
little bit of break in the showers.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I got a question for you, ex weathermin how come
the lows always bring unstable weather where highs bring stable weather?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Well, air air, No, it's true, I mean air generally speaking.
It's true. Air has weight, you know, and so high
pressure has greater weight, and it presses down on if
you want to think of it, water droplets, et cetera.
There's just a more stable kind of the atmospheric phenomenon.
Low pressure is the rising essentially, so it's unwaiting. And
(33:17):
in that low pressure, with the rising air, it takes
water droplets, and it takes the evaporative sort of stuff
and it gets it into the atmosphere and it creates
clouds and showers. So that's why it's a bit more unstable.
So rising air is unstable, and the settling air under
high pressure is more stable.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So in other words, ding dog that's not exactly it.
We're live on KFI Conway Show on demand on the
iHeart 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 the iHeart Radio
app
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Conway Show Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
On a Tuesday. Everybody, please be seated. Yeah, nice to
see you, dude. I love seeing you Conway. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I like to see you too, buddy, I really do.
All right, did that sounds sincere?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I think it did. Now cares all right, let's get
You're gonna talk to my favorite reporter. I like it
all right.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Your favorite reporter, Alex Stone from ABWS is Alex.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
How you Bob?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
There you are?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah? Yeah, hey, I was just saying it's great to
see you.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh I see yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
How are the egg prices or are we doing something different?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
We can talk eggs if you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Did you see Southwest?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, everything that made Southwest Southwest is slowly going away.
The signed seating. Now they're gonna charge for bags. Oh
my god, your credits are gonna expire after a year.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
What wait a minute, your mileage is going to expire.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
If you get a credit, if you can you bank
some money, you know, you cancel them in bank. It's
going to be a year now.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You know the only reason to have flown Southwest is well,
it's convenient, and it's you know, it's relatively cheap. But
the free bags and changing flights whenever you want, I mean,
that's a that's a parent's dream for college kids who
change their mind every eight seconds.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, and for a lot of other people too. And they,
you know, they used to always say, no, we'll never
bring in charges for bags because we get more business
out of people coming to us because they don't have
to pay for bags. We make more money that way. Well, whoop,
that's out of the window right now. Now they're just
like every other airline that the extra leg room seats
up front. They didn't quite do a first class, but
they're they're putting an extra you know, kind of like
economy plus upfront.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I wrote an email because I got a friend who
works over at Southwest, and I said, buddy, what's going
on with this? You know, charge you with the bags?
I said, I'll get you can get me on board
if if you know, radio guys get free bags. He's like, oh, yeah,
there's a good idea. May we'll look into them.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Radio days. Yeah, bring back the peanuts at least you
know they got rid of those.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He said, peanuts. Don't think that, Yeah not might we're
so running scared around here, might you for the clarification,
All right, so we we're talking airplanes here though, right, yes, yeah,
bad vibes.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Uh yeah. So the the American Airlines crash with the
Army helicopter back in late January. So today there was
a bunch of action on this. In the last couple hours.
The NTSB came out. They said there are urgent safety
recommendations that the FAA has to make immediately for life
and safety. That this is about saving lives. The changes
need to be made now at Reagan National Land, maybe
(02:45):
other airports as well, restricting helicopters from flying under landing
aircraft where the American Airlines regional jet and the helicopter
came together. In this case, the helicopters go down the
Potomac River. They what's called transition under the the landing
pattern to get to the other side of the airport,
and they go near runway three to three, they go
under the planes and then they continue on. And in
(03:07):
the case of the plane and helicopter, it didn't work out,
and today Jennifer, but that wasn't a rule before, that
was not a rule. They would go right underneath the
landing aircraft. They do a little bit of that at
LAX as well. But NTSB chaired Jennifer Homedy today saying
that system doesn't work.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Urgent recommendations require immediate action to prevent similar accidents or incidents.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So the NTSB found that in a best case scenario
that helicopters have been allowed to pass at DCA a
Reagan National less than seventy five feet below landing aircraft,
and that's been acceptable for many years, and it can
be less than that. It could be fifty feet. They
think that in the Army helicopter that they had a
bad reading on their altimeter and that they were higher
than they thought that they were. So you get just
(03:51):
a little bit off in aviation, and you're talking like
fifty feet was the regular distance between or seventy five
at most between planes and helicopters. From twenty twenty one
to twenty twenty four, they found now over fifteen thousand
close events between a chopper and a plane at Reagan National.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh my gosh, that's shocking. I mean, that really is.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Eighty yeah, eighty five of them were super close where
it was a very close call.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Pose an intolerable risk to aviation safety by increasing the
chances of a mid air collision at DCA.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
And they found that from twenty eleven to twenty twenty
four that once a month T casts the collision avoidance
system that is like evade, evade, escape, escape, left, right up, down,
which is what the American Airlines plane had in about
one second before they hit.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Wait, wait wait. The avoidance system is called t.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Crash T casts traffic Collision Avoidance system that they've been
getting those they've been alerting once a month since twenty
eleven that they're getting so close that they are within
striking distance and it's been happening over and over again.
So typically these NTSB recommendations they often go nowhere where
they put them out there, and because they can't make
rules of the NTSB, they can just investigate and put
(05:03):
out and then an agency like the FAA has to
do it, and if they do do it, it usually takes
a really long time. Today, two hours later, Transportation Secretary
Sean Duffy came out and said, message received. We're gonna
do what you want.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
To threaten a needle allowing helicopters to fly down the
same airspace as landing aircraft, and why this information wasn't
studied and known before January twenty ninth is an important question.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So they're gonna bar helicopters from going under those planes
at Reagan National and they will work, they say, with
the military to find another route, and they may have
to pause landings at Reagan National if the President is
moving and they need to move helicopters through the airspace
or they've got an emergency. But he also said they
he wants to know why the FAA up until this happened,
did not already know all this data and that they
(05:50):
had not studied.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
How did the fa not know? How do they not
study the data to say, hey, this is a hotspot
we're having your missus and if we don't change way.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We're going to lose lives and guys. He said today
the FAA is now going to use AI to go
through loads of data from LAX and all other reports
in the US and Burdbank everybody else to know where
the danger zones are of choppers and planes coming together
so that this doesn't happen somewhere else.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Our AI tools will help us identify those and take
corrective actions preemptively as opposed to retroactivity SOSS.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They want that data, then they're going to make changes.
He also said today air traffic Control, I don't we
don't know where the funding is are going to come
from for this, but that they are going to upgrade
from floppy disc from the eighties that they're still using
right now, and radar that was installed radar technology in
the seventies and early eighties to modern day. They're still
using copper you know, like pots lines, the old plan,
old telephone service god that they are going to go
(06:46):
to fiber optic and wireless and satellite I mean probably
starlink right satellite. But it's that they plan on doing it.
They got to get the money to do it, but
they want to update what they what air traffic Control
is using. You can get more accurate at times on
your phone on the apps like flight Radar twenty four
than sometimes what they're able to get in the tower
(07:07):
from the old radar data. So I mean you have
more power in your hand than sometimes what they've got
up in the tower.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, Alex done is with us from ABC News. Doesn't
that make sense and more sense to just shut that
airport down.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Reagan National. I mean there have been calls for it,
just like Santa Monica and some of the others.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Not only are they not shutting it down, but the
air traffic is actually increased. And you know the reason
for that, Alex Stone, So do you tim Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Because it's closer to uh, you know, the cat wants
to go out to Dullas exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And it's gotten busier and busier and bigger and bigger
planes and more and more people want to fly right there.
Locals never want to go out to Dulls And yeah,
it's gotten really busy, but it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Dulles have a light rail that goes out there every
ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Probably that's a long way out about ten minutes, but yeah,
it's a long way, but they do. They do have rail,
unlike uh in Los Angeles, what do you mean there's
high street rail. You want to talk a freendone can
el should take and of course you can take it
from Reagan National. You can get a train anywhere and
wash right.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But every airport I've ever been to outside of lax Burbank,
Long Beach and Orange County has light rail coming right
into it and what and we just failed.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, Burbank, you can do that one that's what like
a mile away and then take a bus.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, you gotta walk. You gotta walk with your luggage
for like a half mile. And that's always an ugly
look when you're dragging you know, bags in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You can't do it anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But every but every airport you go to, you know,
just Portland or Seattle, they have all these you know,
the subway comes right in there, or the light rail
comes right into the airport, and we just didn't. We
failed here in l A. Yeah, well that's the only
failure we had in La.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Martin, San Francisco. I mean literally like pulls into the
airport right yeah, into the turbine. Same with the with
the Portland comes right in. You never you don't even
have to go outside. It comes right into the airport.
You get in and you're gone. Yeah, yeah, well it sucks.
Well we all let that happen though, as a society.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And you know what happened was the taxi driver the
taxi union was so strong that they fought against all
the light rail going into all these airports.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh really, now it does make sense. Not surprising, but yeah,
LA is gonna have that for the Olympics though. Isn't
that part of the whole people mover thing they're building.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I hope.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And then the coward mayors that we had, they all
cowered to the taxi union and said, oh, anything you want,
anything you want, So yeah, that's where we live. Alex Stone,
thanks for coming on, Bob.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
You got to have a good show.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right, there you go. I have a flight into
DCA into Reagan next month.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Can you fly from Burbank or lax to into d C.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Oh? Yeah, going to see mom and you can. There's
a direct flight in. Wow, They're not as frequent as
the ones of Dulles, but they do. And then you're
just right there in the city already.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
When I land in Burbank, I give my seatbelt an
extra tug before I land, and I reach over to
my daughter and wife and I tighten hers up there
as well. Yeah, look, I don't know, you know, it's
a very short runway. Sure, And the guy slams it
down and you're like, oh man, we made it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We made it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Was like a carnival ride you.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Don't want to end up upside down like.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No, no, no, and and I you knows about twenty
five or thirty years ago, a plane landed in Burbank,
didn't stop on the runway, went across Hollywood Way into
a gas station. Somebody put a gas station at the
end of the runway.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, so city planners.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And we have the world's greatest White House correspondent in
the history of the White House, John Decker with iHeartMedia
white House correspondent here with why iHeart media?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
John? How you bub Well?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Flattery? Flattery will get you everywhere, as they say, that's
very kind of you. I don't think that I deserve
that title, but thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Okay, okay, well.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Let's go through that.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I got a pen.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Give me the list of iHeart White House correspondents you
think are better now it's iHeart Okay, yeah, party, give
me any correspondent that knows what they're doing and he's
been there that long. Nobody, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't the compline, don't argue with the complience.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There you go, Hey, sir, John, A crazy week again
in Washington. I was watching a little bit of the
vote today on the budget. I think they called it
a CR or something like that. Did it pass?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It passed.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
It did pass the House of Representatives and now goes
over to the Senate, and what happens in the Senate
still unknown. You need to get Democratic support to pass
it because you need sixty votes in the Senate, and
the breakdown in the Senate is fifty three forty seven,
so seven Senate Democrats need to come on board. I
(11:45):
don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I mean, but they they got significant Democrats to
improve it in the House, didn't they.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I think they got one Democrat to approve the CR
in the House, but also one Republican voted against it.
They can't sold each other out, so it really was
along party lines. As it relates to what happened in
the House today.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And that deadline's coming up pretty quickly on Friday.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Friday midnight, we've seen Congress kick the can down the road.
That's what they're doing, and that's what they've been doing.
And now what this particular budget resolution does, continuing Resolution
does is it would provide funding for the rest of
the fiscal year. But here's the thing in it would
cut a non defense discretionary funding by thirteen billion dollars
(12:34):
over what was spent in twenty twenty four. It would
increase defense spending by six billion dollars. But it's those
cuts to non defense discretionary spending that is a non
starter for so many Democrats.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, and then what about the Education Apartment? Would you
feel comfortable if you were working at the educator Apartment
of Education?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No, No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
I assume you've broken this news about what happened within
the past I guess ninety minutes. They're essentially laying off
half of the employees at the Department of Education. That
is something we have not seen that kind of layoff
number in any federal department up until this point.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So, and that's good. Right now, they've evacuated the building,
told everyone to take home their laptops and then to
come back on Thursday. What is the evacuation over Is
it a structural issue with the building? That's my take.
I might be wrong, you.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Might be wrong.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
It's a strange way to do things, and you know
you're getting pushedback even from some Republicans that this process
of laying people off isn't very compassionate, and you can
see why. Really it's kind of demeaning in the way
they're treating sure professional people who've worked at these departments
and agencies for quite some time.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I heard they're getting no severans and no benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Is that right that I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
It literally broke with in the past ninety minutes, so
I don't know all the details concerning how this layoff
is going to work.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Okay, and then again John Dagger's with US White House
correspondent with iHeartMedia, the fight between Canada and the United
States is at an all time high when it comes
to tension, I imagine it is.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
My understanding, by the way, is that if you were
to attend a hockey game between a Canadian NHL club
and an American NHL club in Canada, they're still doing
the national anthem. I mean, they just are not letting up.
There is a lot of bad blood between our neighbor
to the north, and it's because of these threatened tariffs
by President Trump that go into effect in less than
(14:39):
a month's time. On April to second, tariffs go into
effect and that obviously is why you see this response
coming from various Canadian officials and also, you know, just
regular folks at a hockey game, not pleased with the
way things are going, the relationship between the US and Canada.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, they do it the NBA as well. Imagine they'll
do it major League Baseball. You know they they've they've
narrowed it down. You know who started booing the national
anthem in Canada? Tell me Mark Thompson? Yeah him, crazy?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Am? How dare you?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What's up with you?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And then finally Tesla has brought their cars and trucks
to the White House, I imagine to get a little
bumped because of all the bad news coming towards Elon.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I mean his stock is down double digit percentages since
at the beginning of the year. I guess this is
a way to help out Tesla sales. I think other
companies that have seen sales decline or there's stock price
declined since the vignon the year would love to have
a cheerleader like President Trump. He was a cheerleader for
Tesla today and Tesla products at the White House today.
(15:53):
But the President and Elon must taking questions on the
south lawn today while a number of new Tesla's who
are right there on the south line. It was like
a showroom essentially on the south line of the White
House today.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And and and finally, I know that, you know, the
White House briefings, that room is filled. You're seeing a
lot of people who've never been to the White House
briefing before. A lot of internet are they dominating that room.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
There are a lot of people I've never seen before
at the White House Press briefing over the course of
you know, the start of this administration.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And you know, good for them.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I mean, you know, if they get I'm sure they've
never had an opportunity like that before. I have no
problem with it. I there was a briefing today, I
got called on oh good questions to Caroline Levitt, you know,
And it's it's one of those things where it's I
think it's a thrill for them to be at the
White House. It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be
called by the White House Press Secretary or have an
(16:51):
opportunity to potentially go into the Oval Office for an event.
But I'm sure it's a thrill for you know, someone
who has a podcast, for instance, who's coming to the
White House for the very first time.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
When you go to the.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
White House with your equipment, is the Secret Service very
very picky about what you bring in. They look through everything.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
When you say my equipment, I come in with my equipment.
I leave at the White House. I have workspace there.
But you know when you talk about like radio equipment,
but you know, when I bring my backpack into the
White House, it goes through metal detector, just like you
were at the airport, and you know, then you get
wanded and you go through a metal detector, all of
(17:34):
that kind of stuff. And that happens every day. I
go to the White House. Great security, good people in
the Secret Service that work there, protecting the White House,
the White House complex, the President.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So that's what I do.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I have to do every day when I go to
the White House.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know a lot of times you hear a guy
go through an airport and there's a gun in his bag.
He's like, oh, his wife left it there. He forgot
it was there. I imagine there's a bit of a
chawn to talk or a speed wrapping if that happens
at the White House, though.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Uh, Yeah, that wouldn't go over that well.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Believe me, that would not go over well.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
They have good sense of humors, don't get me wrong,
but that is not something that would that would go
over well. I think that would lead to someone being
tackled violently.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
By the speaking of which the memory during the Trump
first term, somebody did get over the fence and into
the in the living quarters. Yeah that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, right,
I remember that.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
That's crazy that that happened.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
John, I'm gonna go back and listen to the press conference.
What was the question you asked today?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh? I go back.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
I think I'm the fourth or fifth person called on,
so you don't have to listen to the entire press conference.
I asked the question in regards to what we're seeing
in the stock market, uh, and also asked a question
about the CR and whether there's outreach to Democrats as
it relates to trying to pass the CR. So that's
what I asked today, Bunny.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I appreciate you coming on and we'll check back.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You always enjoyment in your show.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The next time something major in Washington happens, we'll call
on you, which well I'm pinb about in an hour
or so. Yeah, every hour. Thanks, don appreciate it. See
you job, John Decker, Thanks Man White House correspondent with iHeartMedia.
That guy is great man. He's been around a long
time in that White House and that oval Off is
(19:16):
buzzing around there. We got a direct connection now White House. Yeah,
it's cool deal.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here and at five
o'clock we'll we'll discuss whether allowing your teens to drink
at home is a good idea or not. Wow, did
you drink at home when you're a kid?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I think I did in college. They and my parents,
my parents who don't drink at all, didn't drink at all.
And it wasn't like some they were dying for a drink,
but they're in the program so they can't. They just
never drank. And because I was drinking, I picked it
up in college. I remember them sort of openlyly, openly
worrying about me because I mean, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Did they sit down with you?
Speaker 8 (20:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
But I just remember the conversations I had them in
front of me, so as to maybe you know, communicate
that it was a concern.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, one of those things called where you get to
circle and you talk about how much you love the guy,
but he's got to stop everything in his life.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
In it wasn't quite that.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I had a friend who I didn't think he was
overdoing it, but his parents did, and so there was
an intervention for him. And it was at a hotel
and you know, friends, family, co workers, you know. He
walks in, he's like, oh Jesus Christ, here we go. Yeah,
(20:44):
and everybody's talking. And then when it was finally ah,
the next guy to speak was a really another very
good friend of mine I've known since seventh grade. And
he stands up. I think that's the tradition. You stand up,
you tell the person how much you love him, how
what they mean to you and everything. He stands up
and he starts laughing. And he can't stop laughing at
(21:06):
this guy, and they kicked him out. They threw him
out of the Wow, the intervention, Yeah, that's not I've
never seen a guy thrown out of a nervous.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Sure, I'm sure it happens, but you don't hear about him.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Much laughing his ass off. He can't stop I was at.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
A I used to play cards with a couple of
guys who were came out of AA and one of
them turned forty and his wife had a big party
for him at the house. And after the dinner, which
was gorgeous and everything was just like just so, they
had everybody collect inside and they asked his friends to
(21:42):
come up and say something about him, and everybody got
up one at a time, and after about five of
these speeches, they were all very similar. It was like,
this guy helped me when I was down. I was
nobody wanted to talk to me, nobody wanted to support me,
and he came through and he's still like a brother
to me and everything. But the speeches were lengthy and
(22:02):
they were really like heartfelt. And she walked over to
me quietly and she said, because he was AA and
and this after this comment, I realized most of the
room is AA and so the speeches you're hearing are
very AA. And she said, please say something. This is
sounding like a meeting. So I went up that it
(22:25):
was great and it's great to follow that, right because
they're all being really super stilly. Yeah, so whatever I say,
I can get a laugh. Oh that's it right, I said,
I only know him and love him because he's the
crappiest card player I've ever met, and I always I'll
always appreciate him, So happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I've always wanted to do this, but I've never had
the balls to do it. I want to go to
a gambler's anonymous meeting. You know, there's a couple hundred people,
big one, serious, big, you know, big group, and I
want to get up behind Mi na as Tim, Hey, Tim.
I recently went to Vegas. I took two thousand dollars
with me. I didn't tell my I started gambling and
(23:03):
I turned that two thousand into forty nine thousand dollars,
and I knew at that point I probably have a problem,
so I quit. How many people would want to rush
the stage and cut that guy's throat?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
That was your problem?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Wait a minute, So you're up. You're up forty seven
thousand dollars and you're at this meeting.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Sam Kinnison used to say it costs ten thousand dollars
cash to go to rehab for a month. And Sam's
line was, you show me a guy with ten thousand
dollars cash, and I'll show you a guy, it doesn't
have a coke problem yet. Probably true, you know, probably true,
probably true.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I know a lot of people are you know who've
been to these meetings are like, oh these.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Guys, well, usually the thing that they do at the meeting,
because I've been involved with family members who you know,
and friends, they usually want the person to go right
to rehab, right right from oh yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
that's the plan.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
There's a suitcase always packed, you know, and he's got
to go.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I mean, it's been an effective way to try to
get people to you know, straighten out their life. It's
been effective.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But you know, I've always jokingly said to my friends,
but I think they took this seriously. I said, guys, look,
if you ever do an intervention for me, I'll go.
I'll take the suitcase. I'll go to Phoenix, you know,
dry out whatever. But once I get out, I will
I will have written down every one of your names
and I'll come back and ruin your life. And so
(24:39):
I think that's pushed them off my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
So you you don't have to worry because of that.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, threat, the.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Threat of me ruining their lives like they ruined mine
is it was big.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
John mulaney had an intervention and he talked about it
in his act. It was filled with celebrities, and he
said that maybe ten minutes into the inner mention looks
around the room and he goes, this is a pretty
impressive intervention. This is mostly a list people who are here.
I mean, I got to think of all the interventions
there're ben this is like one of the most stars studded.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He was very funny. He said he was doing so
much coke that the word out on the street would
to the other dealers was don't sell John Mulaney anymore
coke exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And you know you're doing too much when your dealer says, dude,
lay off it from you.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
When your dealers at the intervention like, oh man, I've
ever seen a guy like this before in my life.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Whoof.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But you know that John Mullaney is And it's pretty
rare because he got he was funny while he was
on coke, but he's just as funny off coke.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
No, he's very very talented.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
That's pretty rare. Yeah, you know, usually that coke is
what gives you the energy and the right in a
different mindset.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
At least you'd think that you'd notice a difference in
the way he performs, and you can't see any difference.
He's really quite toalent. He's terrific. Are you a funny dude?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
All right, we're live on KFI.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
What we got here?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Coming up at five o'clock. Oh yeah, we're going to
tell you whether drinking it as a team is good for.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You or not.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You could probably guess. I don't know why we're waiting.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on Demya from KFI
Am six forty on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I've been very fortunate to have been asked to present
the awards to the Huntington Beach Police Department.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And this is in lieu of jail time.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
My future fure favorite been good, okay, And so they
just sent me the script and it's sixty sixty one pages.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Well, that's a lot of distinguished work from a lot
of people down there.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, and so I'll be reading sixty one pages to
people who have done great work. And I have been
reading through this. I can't tell you how great some
of those cops are saving lives and the heroism is unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I'll tell you what you can't do. You can't run
out of gas. You've got to pace yourself. Okay, So
don't spend yourself by page thirty. You've got sixty one pages,
and you've got to get that sixty first page as
much energy and conwayism as you do the first page.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's why you're coming with me. You get thirty, I
get thirty, and we're going to knock this out. So
I'll be down there and then I and I was
listening to Dallas rains. You know, Dallas rains. Where have
you met Dallas Range?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh? Yeah, no, I'd likely Dallas number.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
One weather guy in my book?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I think you can make that argument.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I think you could absolutely Why not make it? Let's
I'm happy to decar it with you.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So on Thursday morning, when I'm driving from Burbank to
Huntington Beach to present these awards, they'll be the biggest
storm we've had.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
In a year. Is that what Dallas is saying? I think?
Speaker 9 (27:47):
So let's find out by a lot of snow and
that will occur on Thursday and into Thursday night and Friday.
Up at the big Beer Lake carry we could see
where between a foot and a foot and a half
of snow today. It was light rain showers, no problems and.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Watch out those eaglets, you know, but half of snow
on these babies.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Sure operating down at La x Live Begadoppolo seven thousand A.
You see some little light rain coming down from Thousand
Oaks on down to just north of Long Beach this afternoon.
Light showers from Compton. Good afternoon to you, Hey, good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Hey everybody in Compton. You know that you never did that?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, never, Hey, Long Beach, Never Beach. I think it's
a hack thing.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I love him, but it's not. It's just not and
maybe he can sell it. I just felt it like, Hey,
Lung Beach, Hey, good evening, Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hey Tarzana, Yeah, Hi there.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And Bearino, what's up today.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think he does that just to irritate people, and
I think it works anyway.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well everything works for him, so he can do it.
I think.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Hello Compton, Light showers from Compton. Good afternoon to you.
And Santa Monica getting some rain.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Heaviest rain today has been pretty much where I thought
it would be this time yesterday. Is from around the
San Clemittee, Southern o c down all the way into
San Diego because that's where that area of low pressure is.
So with the circulation around that low pressure, we are
seeing some of these showers kind of brought up out
of the South into the IE and also southern O Sea.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You know, since you're an ex weatherman or former weather meteorologist,
sure can you listen to this and find out more information.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Than we do?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Like the layman, No, I think he boils it down
really well.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I think he's really good. Yeah, and he boils it down,
which is what you need to do. That's right up.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
The big bears some very light flories. You could see
that just a few minutes ago on our live camera.
But this weather system is not producing a lot of snow.
That will change though once we get into Thursday, Thursday
afternoon and Friday.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
There's a center that low with the.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
Heaviest activities or convections clouds.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
See does that mean that means that lifting? There's a
lot of lifting in them. There's like those big puffy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Vertical vertical development that mean a lot of water it can, yes.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
Typically activities are convections clouds these.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Have Would it be wrong of him or for you
to say hello, convection clouds, serious clouds. Never heard that,
mister convection. Nice to see you, hello, seven foot waves.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Lightning and even some thunder with it too.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
So look at the flood watch that covers most of
southern California that starts as we get into tomorrow at
six pm. It'll last all night into Thursday at six pm.
Anywhere between two and four inches of rain is anticipating.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No, you's got to you know, the two people have
to be very worried about this rain. A people live
in burn scars and b like we played yesterday, people
living in storm drains. We had a story yesterday where
guy was living in a gutter. He's living in a drain.
(30:51):
And we asked Belli O on the air, Hey, are
you a snob? And she said no, of course I'm not.
Say would you date a guy living in a drain?
And she said no, kind of snobbish. I didn't really
consider it in the context. Yeah, is belly in there? No, Okay,
(31:13):
I need to know the exact She said, she wouldn't
date anybody living in a drain. Yeah, yeah, it might
be a red flag her or him. You know, another
group that's got to watch the weather. Forecast. Guys living
in the La River, you know, you got to know
when to pack up your tent and move to the
(31:35):
higher ground.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, they typically are probably pretty good about that, right.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Sometimes you hear that. I think that's why the swift
water rescue guys are around.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
There's a lot of debris that goes into that. So
there's got that debris coming from somewhere.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah, it's the homeless guy who woke up late and
didn't listen to Dallas rains and now he's, you know,
on his way to Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
So yeah, there's that too.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Had the rainfall intensities could be up there too.
Speaker 9 (32:00):
We're between three quarters and an inch per hour and
that can certainly cause much lights.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
I do expect much lights and de brief flow. Here's
a great panting.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
Shot looking northbound towards the south by where showers are occurring.
You saw those on the radar, and we're going to
see more rain coming through once that squall line gets
in here.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
What's a squall line.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's a line of heavy showers, Okay, snow, but you're.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
On top of it, man, you know, squall line gets
a squall line, That squall line gets in here early
Friday Thursday morning, you'll really see some heavy rain. So
the center of the low tonight spiraling around. We talked
about this yesterday, some coming out of the south making
it to the OC. But this low is going to
track on into northern Baja tonight, so we'll see a
(32:44):
little bit of break in the showers.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I got a question for you, ex weathermin how come
the lows always bring unstable weather where highs bring stable weather?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Well, air air, No, it's true, I mean air generally speaking.
It's true. Air has weight, you know, and so high
pressure has greater weight, and it presses down on if
you want to think of it, water droplets, et cetera.
There's just a more stable kind of the atmospheric phenomenon.
Low pressure is the rising essentially, so it's unwaiting. And
(33:17):
in that low pressure, with the rising air, it takes
water droplets, and it takes the evaporative sort of stuff
and it gets it into the atmosphere and it creates
clouds and showers. So that's why it's a bit more unstable.
So rising air is unstable, and the settling air under
high pressure is more stable.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
So in other words, ding dog that's not exactly it.
