K I Am six forty is later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. We have a metro update. We'll get to that in
just a second. But also as we get closer to Memorial Day, we'll
let you know what's open and closed as we get closer to that observance for
our fallen heroes. California could require age verification to visit porn sites. That's
very, very important. We have to make sure that we address that straight
away. And there's a California bill which would require new cars to beep at
speeding drivers. Let's get to first. I know Mark Ronner, good evening,
Mark Ronner, Hello, Mo. I know that I was listening to
you and I knew that you probably have an update for us. Oh,
thank you for that. Thank you. May I have another? Thank you?
Sure one another, I'll bring it on. Yeah okay, oh yeah,
that was good. Thanks for that. There's a rumor going around that
there might be some precipitation in our future. You may be getting moist tonight,
Mo, we are due for some patchy drizzle late tonight and into tomorrow
morning. But what about the weekend? Is it going to mess up my
weekend. No, you, weekend should be fine, all right, the
seventies and maybe some clouds through the weekend, It'll be okay. Just want
to make sure it's not rain I don't want that to stop you from standing
outside anyway. I mean you should still stand outdoors. You are really hoping
for rain drops to keep falling on my head? Well, I don't know
why you're afraid of it. Are you one of the wicked witches from Wizard
of Melting of the West? Yes, I know. Do you have flying
monkeys at your disposal? What do you got that's racist? No, it's
not. Good evening, Mark, good evening, Stephen. How you doing,
brother? Good sir? How are you? I'm doing well? And
to Walla Sharp, how are you doing? Man? Fantastic? I want
all of you to weigh in on this story as we give the Metro update.
We've been following this, in fact, we've been leading the coverage of
Metro and I asked a question tomorrow yesterday, what is going to be the
tipping point? What needs to happen before actual action takes place? Because we've
heard a lot of talk. We said we're going to have this police surge
fifty officers across all the MTA, and that was supposed to be the stopgap
measure until I don't know what. It doesn't mean that they're going to get
their own police force. It doesn't mean that there's going to be a real
increased police presidence on trains, on buses. And in the meantime, people
are still getting stabbed. No one got stabbed today as far as I know.
As far as I know, someone could be getting shanked right now and
it's just not reported as of yet. I don't know. I'm just saying
there's nothing which has come across my desk alleging that someone was stabbed today connected
to Metro. But I guess someone was listening to me because Metro seemingly has
put forward a proposed solution that they can implement right now. Well, here's
some stats for you. Of the one hundred and fifty three violent crimes perpetrated
on Metro between May twenty twenty three and April twenty twenty four, one hundred
and forty three of them, And if you're really good at math, that's
more than ninety three percent. More than ninety three percent of those violent crimes
were committed by people who did not pay a valid fare and were using the
transit system illegally. Metro says it's possible that stronger fair enforcement could be part
of the plan to make Metro safer. Segan Metro believes that it's possible that
stronger fair enforcement could be part of the plan to make Metro safer. In
fact, Mayor Karen Bass will discuss this particular issue with the Metro Board of
Directors tomorrow. How about that for turning it all around. I'm sorry I
missed something because you you rep that up like there was a plan like Evil
Knievo was going to actually complete the jump, but then it seems like it
hit the buses. Off it went. It went Evilnevo ended up in the
bottom of Snake River Canyon. Yeah, I'm confused because, Okay, there's
a there's a misunderstanding here. I think Metro has confused correlation with causation.
There's a correlation people who are committing crime and have also skipped on the fare.
Okay, there's a correlation there, but it's not a causation where because
they didn't pay the fare, they're more likely to commit crimes or at leads
to crime. It's not like they're not paying the pay. Paying the fare
was the gateway drug to stabbing someone. Oh, yesterday I didn't pay the
fare. Today I'm stabbing someone in the neck. No, it doesn't work
like that. There's a correlation lawlessness, but there's not a causation. I
don't think you're giving them the benefit of the doubt. Mo. You just
want to have your eyes dotted and tease crossed and make sure somebody's paid to
get on before they go on a stabbing spree. That's the part, Mark,
that's the part that I'm not really I'm still not sure because it sounds
like you're saying by them forcing people to pay that fare that two dollars or
whatever it is, they're less likely to stab. The point is, the
point is you can't just get on and stab people for free. Okay,
nobody's gas free, Yes, thank you. Okay. Twally, you had
a great point when you say forced to pay the pair, pay the fair.
Whose responsibility is it going to be? And let me talk about this
from a first person standpoint. When I was riding Metro, I would get
on the Blue line in Long Beach. That's an above ground train, that
platform, I assume it still is to this day. Is not patrolled in
the sense of there's no one taking your fare. There is no turnstyle for
you to put your fare card in. Okay, it is incumbent upon a
law enforcement officer on the train to come by and check your fare, which
they would do every now and then to make sure that you weren't jumping fair
and illegally on the train. But it wasn't often. I would see a
sheriff's deputy, I don't know, every two or three days on my route.
Not often, but those are the only people who are actually checking my
fare. Are you saying that the train operators got to check people's fair Are
you saying that the bus operators got to check someone's fair? If someone's gonna
get on the bus and you're driving the bus, do you want to have
that altercation right then and there, Because people, I've seen it, they'll
just walk right on the train, and they'll walk right on the bus.
Do you want the bus driver to get out of the seat and get into
a fight with someone. We've seen that happen, all right. I don't
think that's what they're there to do. And I'm under the impression that the
operators are told do not escalate. Yeah. Yeah, Are you expecting the
Metro green shirt ambassadors to step in and say, excuse me, sir,
excuse me man, we need you to pay that fare you or are they
the ones that are going around check tickets? Are they like, can I
see your ticket? I don't think so. But there's something else if you
don't know Metro. If you're riding like the Blue Line, which is above
ground, those are outdoor platforms. There is no policing of that, and
there's no turnstyle, so people can get on and off on those platforms very
easily. You can't really police that. As you get to the Red Line
and you're a Metro center downtown and you're underground, then yes, you have
to use your fare card to get through the turnstiles, so there's a little
bit more of a security measure at that point. But if you get on
on the Blue Line and you just ride in Long Beach to Compton and whatever,
you can just ride all day. No one's stopping you, No one
was asking for fares all that often. It's almost like you're saying, we
can't rely on the honor system with people who are crazy enough to get on
one of those things and stab everyone. Well, the flip side is,
are you going to have law enforcement do it? Are they going to be
dedicated on every bush? Have you ever been? No, you haven't.
But imagine getting on a metro bus during rush hour. There's no place to
set Everyone is standing in the aisles. You have a good seventy to eighty
people on that bus. They're not checking fares. No they're not. And
to suggest that, well, if we checked more fares, we make sure
that they're paying more fares, that will have a direct correlation and relationship to
diminishing crime. No it won't. No, it won't because you don't have
anyone as a deterrent to stop the crime. The fair is minor. I
just need you to stop the knife to the neck. I don't care if
they don't pay their fare. Just stop the stabbings, all right, that's
all I want. I care more about people's safety than someone jumping a turnstyle.
Maybe I'm weird like that little high maintenance I am. And again,
if you're trying to say that this is gonna be part of the problem and
part of the solution, okay, you're just blowing smoke up mine, you
know. It's just come on, come on, it's not fair jumpers.
If someone's high on meth, the faar is not gonna make any difference.
If someone is not in their right mind, it's not gonna make any difference.
If someone is carrying a shank, who's gonna stop that person getting on
that train. Who's gonna do the cavity search? That's what I want to
know. Heller the lady that got into the fight with the ride bus driver
a little while ago. She was trying to pay her fare and the driver
told her not to and she still got into a fight. So that's all
that right there. Throws this out the window. Look if I were a
Metro ambassador and I wouldn't be and they said you have to make sure everyone
pays a fair before they get on the train, I would quit on the
spot. There's no way who wants to have that fight because there's going to
be a fight or and I also saw this. I know, Stephan gotta
go break during the summer, especially, you would have kids, I think
they're kids. They could be young adults, teenagers, early twenties. They
would get on in groups at different stops, and the doors are only open
for maybe fifteen twenty seconds. What are you gonna do to stop? Are
you gonna ask them all of their fare cards? And if they don't have
a fair or they don't have a valid fair card, the best you can
do is ask them to get off of the next stop. Ask them,
because if they don't, what is the escalation? What are you gonna do
physically remove them? No, you're not, No you're not. That's what
I'm saying. We're not serious about doing anything with Metro. Don't put this
out as part of the solution. Stop insulting my intelligence. It's salt Mark's
intelligence. Don't don't insult mine. Yeah, please, I'd like your fair
cards and a robust wilding. Please, I'll take a shake to the neck
please. Yes, Now, I'll make that too. I need one for
twala. It's later with Mokelly. If I am six forty, we life
everybody I Heart Radio APPA. I mister Mokelly here, We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And maybe you have plans for this upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
And I know we may all observe Memorial Day the actual day and do
things on the weekend. We may observe it differently. For many people,
it can be a very somber occasion as we remember our fallen heroes. Some
people, though, keep it light, may have a barbecue or something like
that on Saturday or Sunday. Not judging, just saying. People observe it
as supposed to celebrate it, observe it in different ways as we remember our
fallen heroes. But in observing it, we still have to go about our
day to day lives, and I often forget. You might forget what's open,
what's closed. Here's an easy way to remember LA City, County,
state, and federal. It's a holiday across the board, so you can
assume most, if not all government agencies offices closed, banks closed New York
Stock Exchange markets, or close the courts. They're close La County Superior courts.
If you need to know the specific schedule, you can always log onto
La court dot org forward slash holiday if you can get it there. If
you were like me and I, actually I don't know if I told the
story or if I did, I haven't told it. Recently, before I
came to Camfi and I was looking for work, I had a quasi office
at the La Public Library. I would go to the library, the one
in Harbor City on Western Boulevard Western and just north of Lomita, right by
Narbonne High School. I would go there every single day and it was a
place where I had a makeshift office. I would send out my resumes,
I had use of the internet and other facilities. It was a great way
to stay busy. I swear by La County Public libraries. But having said
all that, libraries are closed. They'll be closed for the holiday. But
if you want to know when they'll be closing prior to the holiday or the
lead up to the holiday, you can always check it out their Facebook page,
Facebook dot com, forward slash LA Public Library or www dot lap l
dot org forward slash holiday hyphen closures. I know that's a lot. Google
might be easier. The mail will not be delivered. Usps will not be
delivering mail, and post offices are closed. I'm not sure how that will
impact your ups and FedEx packages we were just talking about. Metro buses and
subway services in La County will be running on a weekend slash holiday schedule.
You can get the specifics at metro dot net and Metrolink Trains. CAFI is
on Chris Little would ride the Metrolink train on frequent occasion. Metrolink trains will
be running on a modified schedule on Memorial Day. Each day leading up to
Memorial Day will be normal schedule, but there will be no service on the
Riverside Line Metrolink Riversideline on Memorial Day. Trash pickup. I know this varies
by area. My area, if there's a holiday, for example, will
be there will be the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. Trash pickup for my
neighborhood is Thursday. Whenever there's a holiday, it kicks back our trash pickup
a day. And I'm the idiot who forgets this, and I will forget
again. So I'll put my cans out on Wednesday like I did today.
I put my cans out on Wednesday because I get home too late at night.
I don't want to feel like going in the backyard and pulling out the
cans at eleven o'clock at night. Okay, But at the same time I
understand that because I I'm the opposite of you, feeling like an idiot like,
oh, it's a holiday tomorrow, I'm not gonna put out the trash.
And then I hear the garbage truck roll through it on the wrong holiday,
and I'm like, son of a bee, Like I thought that was
no trash today. Well, I always put my cans out on Wednesday for
Thursday pickup because I don't want to have to get up early Thursday morning to
put out the cans. Sometimes we will, actually most times, they will
delay the trash one day. If the trash pickup schedules push back one day,
customarily that means it'll be picked up on Friday. There are times,
Stephan, just like you're talking about, was like, wait a minute,
there was a holiday this week. Why aren't they pushing everything back to day
and they pick it up on the Thursday. For me, to be safe,
I will still put my cans out on Wednesday because I don't want to
do it late Wednesday night and I don't want to have to get up early
and rush if they should happen to pick up up on Thursday. But if
there is holiday schedule, the trash won't come until Friday, and my cans
will be baking and smelling like stuff in the sun for an extra day and
a half or so. You know, first world problems, But trash,
I will call your local trash provider for the specific sanitation schedule. It's real
simple in that regard. It's city, county, state, federal. It's
a holiday for everything. So just about every major service that you'll need will
not be in operation, will not be open on Memorial Day. Throughout the
weekend, yes, but not on Monday Memorial Day. As we acknowledge and
remember our fallen heroes. It's Later with Mo Kelly k if I AM six
forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later
with Mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. California could require age
verification to visit porn sites. What is the world coming to? What is
the world coming to? When I was coming of age, we had to
hunt for our porn. We had to struggle. We had to really search
high and low. We had to go to friends houses and see if their
dads had any type of porn collection. And I'm not talking about the videos.
I'm talking about pre video age, where there was only print media.
You had to have pictures. That was it. You had to hope that
someone was stuffing some magazines and some mattresses, or you had a friend who
could go into a seven eleven and go to the rack and buy some for
you. That was the only way we could see a playboy or a penthouse
or a hustler or a we as OUI not the game console Wii times of
change. I have to remember they may not get that reference. Yeah,
otherwise you were just stuck with the Sears catalog. Hunh. Yeah, that's
all we had, you know, women who were scantily clad where underwear?
That was all we had. And to look at kids today, they don't
know how good they have it. They've been surfing porn websites for decades now
and nobody ever asked for ID. Well, all that's about to change,
possibly here in California. There is a legislation which has already passed the state
Assembly, and it would have California join a handful of states if it passes
the state Senate in which laws have been passed requiring pornography sites to verify the
ages of visitors to ensure that they're adults. Under the bill, porn sites
would need to take quote unquote reasonable steps. I don't know what that means
to verify a user is an adult, such as using age verifications software or
having the user provide the site a credit card or government issued ID. Yes,
that's what all of us want to do, submit our government ID to
a porn site. Cookies are bad enough, all right, but you want
me to give you my driver license or my passport that has a photo and
my address. Anyhow, the bill would require that any data collection would ensure
the user's anonymity wink wink. It would not be used to create a record
of the user's online activity. Yeah. Sure, remember we talk about this
on Tech Thursday with Marshall Collier. The whole idea of privacy is an illusion,
and as soon as you put that information out there, it's out there.
We talked about the Yahoo hack where they had data from people fifteen and
twenty years ago. Excuse me, the AT and T hack who had phone
service years and years ago, weren't even using the service anymore more than a
decade pass And that information is out there, the private data. I can
only assume that if you give your government issued ID to pornhub dot com,
for example, no endorsement, just for example, that that ID is going
to stay on their servers in perpetuity up until they get hacked. And that
information is then out there. This can only end badly. Now I feel
that I've been attacked because I've been an adult now for the better part of
almost three and a half decades just guessing okay, and now I am the
one who's going to be made to suffer and I have to show ID just
for me to get my porn on. It's not fair. It is not
fair because those crumb snatchers didn't know how good they had it, and they
hit letting people know that they were able to look at porn and cheuala.
You know this because it was happening in schools everywhere. They were hacking their
own little laptops and using it to surf the internet to all these crazy side
because they didn't want to get on their own phone. Yeah. No,
that's what the kids do, and they will find a way around this.
There is no way that they can guarantee that you're going to be able to
put up a real idea, especially in the world of what AI. You're
telling me that these kids can't come up with some AI program to just enter
some information. As soon as they do, they need to call me,
text me, message me, in box me and let me know because I'm
not giving up my real idy, no, sir, Next thing, I
know, it'll be a hack and I'll be on the front page of Fox
News. Well, Moe Kelly host a KFI was found in the data breach
of pornhob dot com and x videos dot Com and Doggie Daycare porn dot Com.
Doggy Daycare, you know what I mean. I'll just say I don't
know what doggy. That was a joke. It's got too far. Literally,
anytime you want to jump in mark anytime. Well, mo, you
like what you'll like? Okay, nobody's gonna judge you. Oh right.
I mean. The first thing people want, obviously when they're looking for online
porn, is to proudly declare their identity. The first thing they want to
do. Man, it just goes without saying, Yes, I'm eighteen,
here's my name, here's my address, and here is my government history.
Do you like my Social Security? And how about the Google street view of
my house? How about that too? It's like the twenty twenty four version
of the back room because they had those beads and you couldn't walk in there
quietly. Oh you're talking about the video store. The video store. Yeah,
oh, you know one of those. There's no way you could go
in there and just be silent, because it would be well, not only
that, you still had to bring the boxes to this right, exactly right.
Don't ask me how I know that. Oh, and let me tell
you when I worked at a video sturing grad school. Did you think I
was gonna let any of that go by? Oh, let's see, so
you'd like a copy of Hannah Does Her Sisters? Is that correct? I'll
be right back with that. Oh, Debbie does Dallas? Oh in Manuel
one through eight. Well, the thing is, the ones that they put
on video cassette had the best titles in the world. So you'd really be
failing your public if you if you didn't say them out loud. Oh my
goodness, because they were always spoofs on actual movie titles like, oh,
Pumping Iron. Oh sorry, sorry I misread it pumping Irene rank you.
Yeah, we'll be right back with that. I remember one was not Star
Wars, but Star you know what I mean, things like that, things
like that. Of course, don't ask me how I know that as well.
No, seriously, my first apartment I had two housemates, Paul and
Bo. Paul I don't know whatever happened to him, but Bo, he
was one of my groomsmen in my wedding. We grew up together. Paul
and Bow worked in a video store called Good Time Video. It doesn't even
exist anymore, but we had all these free rentals, including the free porn
rentals. They would bring home all these selections, and I can't tell you
about all the parties we had, all right, just know that we had
parties. But you could see all these ridiculous titles. And the porn industry
is making so much money just because of the home video market. Oh yeah,
home video caused a revolution in that field. Yeah. The last thing
I want now is my browsing history, or more specifically to Walla's browsing history.
I care more about his than mine out there for the public to see
and review. Because this law is going to happen. They're going to sign
it into law, and it's going to forever change VPNs, and I don't
know there'll be a way you'll be able to circumvent it. But when you
find out, let me know so I can let someone else know so I
can share it as a public service. Yeah, it's all academic for you.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM six forty.
We were really over last segment talking about internet porn. We had our
priorities straight this segment very quickly. We have to talk about the California Senate
which just passed SB nine six' one, which would require passive speed limitters
to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in California by twenty thirty
two. Quick civics lesson. California Senate has passed it. It still has
to pass the Assembly. It probably will, but you know, has to
pass both houses. This motion, which was introduced by Senator Scott Winner,
Democrat from San Francisco, says it would make it would make California the first
state in the nation to enact this safety requirement. And if you didn't know,
it's similar to a law in the EU that is set to take effect
in July. With the EU law was used as the blueprint for this.
SB nine sixty one would require every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured
or sold here in California to be equipped with these passive speed governors or limiters
by twenty thirty two. With the fifty percent phase in by twenty twenty nine.
The passive speed governors, they say, are referred to as passive intelligent
speed assistants and would warn drivers with audible and visual signals when they exceed the
speed limit by greater than ten miles per hour. Close quote. That's a
state Senator Wiener's office. I get the sense. Mark correct me if I'm
wrong. I get the sense. This is kind of like the lane assist.
It'll beep at you if you're drifting into another lane, or if there's
a car right next to you. There's an audible alert, but it doesn't
control the car in any way. I have something that already does that.
It's it's called a girlfriend. Put her in the passenger seat. Then really
she performs all of those functions at an acceptable volume. She's a side she's
a side seat driver. Let's just we don't need that extra tech in our
car. Well, I look at it this way. I drive fast.
I acknowledge that it's something I've talked about on the radio before. I'm self
aware. I'm usually in a hurry wherever I'm going, and I try to
remind myself to slow down. What do you get up to there? If
the speed's sixty five, what do you get up to under advice of counsel?
I decline to answer that. Let's say, theoretically, when we're in
a sixty five mile an hour zone, hypothetically, hypothetically, speaking in my
younger years, long long, long ago, Yeah, going down the five
freeway sixty five. Will use that as an example if I were hypothetically driving
home at night where it's a little bit more open. But I wasn't looking
at this sphedomino exactly, but I was into the neighborhood of eighty five.
Of course, yeah, you wouldn't intentionally do that. Ever, it was
a downhill grade, and the statute of limitations is long past on that.
Absolutely, I advise everyone to drive the speed limit of sixty five, the
posted speed limit. Of course, we all believe in the law here,
all of us. But my question was for someone hypothetically like me, or
drove similarly to me. I don't know what the beeping thing is going to
do, because according to this the driver's always in control, and if it's
like lane assists or all these other things which are presently in cars, you
can always turn it off. Oh you can turn it off, well,
put its way. In my wife's car, she has that beeping sound.
If you drift into another lane, or if you're trying to make a lane
change and there's a car right next you go, he'll say, doop go
on that day something like that. If you can turn it off, why
would you ever turn it on? Well, here's the thing. It doesn't
say that you can't turn it off, and it says that the driver is
still in control. It doesn't physically control the car, and it doesn't say
that the driver won't have control over it. And it says that it will
be audible and visual. You have to have some sort of settings controlled on
that. Oh god, you know, I would hate that unless it were
like in the voice of Andrew Dice play or something like hey, get out
of there, something like that. Yeah, I don't know if there's any
voice I would like to hear. I don't want my car talking to me
now. And that's part of the reason why I have not updated my car,
because I don't need all those bells and whistles, and I don't think
I'm open and admitable to those bells and whistles. Not the best selling point
for a new vehicle. If you're looking around. You might just have to
buy your car outside of California. But for me, most times I am
driving incomplete silence. I'm alone in my thoughts. I'm thinking. I'm just
I enjoy the silence. I don't have the radio on. I'm not playing
any music. I'm not listening to a book on tape. Most times,
especially driving home, I'm just in my own head, and I just like
to hear the ambient noise of life around me. You're supposed to tell people
you're listening to KFI. Moh no, no, no, no, no
no, I listen, But I'm saying most times, most times, I
just like to have it quiet. Of course, I bounced it back and
forth. Man, I'm listening to George Doran. It's your time for quiet
meditation, self reflection. All right, look at the time, Look at
the time. Okay. If I am Sex forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio

wrong. KF I am KOSG HG two, Los Angeles, Orange County Live
