WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.920 I am sixty mister Mokelly here, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 2 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:33.479 We have more information on California what direction we're moving On tonight's show, KFI 3 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.479 is own. Blake Trolley will join us at the bottom of the hour and 4 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.439 he'll give us the latest on the cal State LA protests and what it's been 5 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:46.520 termed as extensive vandalism of the campus. He'll be calling in, and Disneyland 6 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:52.119 is cutting back on entertainment during peak summer season. Say what in Paris twenty 7 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:57.960 twenty four Olympics, they're going to debut high level break dancing. I think 8 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.399 they missed their shot to have me in the Olympics. I still got some 9 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.959 moves. Mark Ronner, good evening, But yes, I still have some 10 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.359 moves. Nothing would please me more than to see this nothing. I can 11 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.599 still do my swipes. I don't know if I can do my Thomas flair 12 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.239 anymore. That might be asking a bit much. But there's not enough room 13 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.319 in the studio. Maybe we can do it in the hallway. Oh yeah, 14 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.480 in the bullpen area would be a perfect place. And none of those 15 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.120 words mean anything to me, just so you know, but I'm excited to 16 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:26.760 see this one way or the other and as quickly as possible. I don't 17 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.879 know if I can still. I'm pretty sure I can still do my back 18 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.239 spin. I have to do that, probably in the kitchen, because it's 19 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.799 I need something that can actually spin on. That's the only place where there's 20 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.920 the linoleum here. What's the one where you spin around on your head. 21 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.519 That's called a headspin. Yeah, I'm gonna need to see that. No 22 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.599 no, no, no, no, no, no nude. No no, 23 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.159 I didn't do that when I was a kid break dancing. Why not 24 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.040 because my mother said, don't do that because it's dangerous. No no, 25 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.760 no, no no. Those are the compulsory moves. The Russians will mark 26 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.760 your way down if you don't do those, well, the highest and lowest 27 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.120 scores are thrown out, don't you know. No, no, no, 28 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.920 I need to see that heads, you know. But I guess I'll do 29 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.519 some breakdancing in the kitchen, just because I need to prove to myself that 30 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.879 I shouldn't be doing it anymore. Just go to a commercial right now so 31 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:09.479 that we can go look at this. No, ten years ago, I 32 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.520 did it in the studio as a dare from Wayne Resnick, and there's video 33 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.520 of it floating around somewhere. So yeah, how about yeah, we got 34 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.719 to do that. We'll do that during the break. I'll go in the 35 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.719 kitchen. I'll do some breakdancing moves to show you that I still don't got 36 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.000 it. Please anymore? Please? Yes, And we'll put it on Instagram 37 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:36.000 and every day we'll go live, well live, what if I get myself 38 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.759 into And there's so much more. First, let me just say good evening 39 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.599 to Walla. Sharp didn't have a chance to say hello to you. Did 40 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.879 you notice was the traffic even better for you today? It was really good 41 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.919 for me yesterday and today people are out of school. I don't know, 42 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.280 maybe they're just trying to avoid me. Maybe it's just my lucky day. 43 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.639 But it was a lot easier getting here. It was easy in the morning 44 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.520 getting here. No, there was some type of accident or something on the 45 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.680 one eighteen connecting the Vibe to the once evident, and it was horrible getting 46 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.840 here. Yeah. Yeah, I had to give somebody both barrels on the 47 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.479 way in. You gave them a double finger salute both barrels that is usually 48 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.639 reserved for the highest epistivity. I was trying to register my disapproval of somebody 49 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.439 driving dangerously and obnoxiously, and I don't think they got the message completely. 50 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.639 Okay, look I used to get mad at that stuff. But Mark, 51 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.840 you just have to let them go on ahead, because if they're driving dangerously, 52 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.360 they're already demonstrating to you that they're not thinking clearly. They're not thinking 53 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.120 about anyone's safety much less yours. Let you go on by, and you 54 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.599 want me to put the makers in Metropolol out of business while I'm at it. 55 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.560 All I want you to do is make it here safely, Mark Ronner, 56 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.360 Okay, I just want you to get here safely. And if you're 57 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.479 double birding people, I mean look, oh wait, it wasn't just the 58 00:03:52.560 --> 00:04:00.280 double bird. It was the three D SCTV double bird in out. Yeah 59 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.159 yeah, okay, but the problem with that is that means neither hand is 60 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.439 on the wheel. And I want you to be safe. I was about 61 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.400 as safe as that. I was safer doing that than I was being cut 62 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.520 off by this terrible human being. All right, Okay, so let's see 63 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.879 this to this logical conclusion. If this crazy person cuts you off in this 64 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.160 dangerous maneuver, and you double birded that person. This is not even hypothetical 65 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.800 because that's what you did. What's the likelihood that that person's just going to 66 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.600 keep on driving? What if they slow down? Listen. Once you stop 67 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.279 raging against things that are unjust, you're dead inside. I just don't want 68 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.639 to be dead inside. I don't want you to be dead outside. That's 69 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.000 what that guy was trying to do to me. Make me dead outside. 70 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.360 I feel like I'm talking to one of my sons. It's just just not 71 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.480 hearing me. My job is to make sure you get home or to work 72 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.160 safely. That's it, Okay, Dad? Can I have my allowance now? 73 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.560 No, go to your damn room. Man. I need you to 74 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.759 go and think about your life and talk about what you Look at my browser 75 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:59.240 history, Dad, back to me, what does that leave us to do? 76 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.959 Look, I just want you to be safe out there. Mark. 77 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.199 I used to be you, okay, and I used to look for an 78 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.680 excuse to cut someone out and dare them to pull me overs. I'm just 79 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.399 I want more peace in my life, and part of that is making sure 80 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.079 that the people around me are safe. I love you too, Dad, 81 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.959 No, you don't. But Father's Day is coming up. What do you 82 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.360 get to get me? Not a blank thing? Can you feel the love 83 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.000 tonight? And on the ones and two's Robin? How you doing this evening? 84 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.720 Robin? When was the last time you did some uber driving? You 85 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:38.680 have to think out loud. I think it was we Hope Pride. Actually, 86 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.240 oh so you were working? Did you make good money because it was 87 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.279 Pride? Yeah, I mean it was like after all Pride and everything happened, 88 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.240 it was just like everyone was drinking. Because did you have like crazy 89 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.360 half clothed people who would get in your car? No? Surprisingly, No, 90 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.560 Oh but you did expect that. Yeah, like I have, I 91 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:10.480 have sea covers. Ooh what hours were you driving? Was it late at 92 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.319 night? Yeah? It was like right after this, after the show. 93 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.160 Oh so you were working the show and then started driving. That's a lot 94 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:24.079 of work. Yep. I usually drive like five hours after working a six 95 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:29.480 hour shift, seven hour shift. Yeah. Yeah, And she insists she 96 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.079 hasn't seen Taxi Driver. You're living it. I don't think she cares about 97 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.800 any movie before two thousand and seven. I think this is relevant to your 98 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.199 life. What's the oldest movie that you've seen that you loved? Robin, 99 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.199 And I assume that you're under the age of thirty. I am. I 100 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.120 am twenty nine. Okay, see, I'm a good judge. What's what 101 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.319 are there any old movies quote unquote old movies that you like or love? 102 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:00.240 When was Taxi? Taxi Driver? No Taxi? That's you're talking about the 103 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.560 TV show. Oh, oh my gosh, I thought you was something like 104 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:12.040 the TV jim Oh my gosh. That I just like and I can understand 105 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.000 that. But do you know that horrible right? That movie was horrible? 106 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.680 I actually liked it. Oh wow, that's a lot of Queen Latina love. 107 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.319 That's that's that's a lot of love to overlook that movie. That was 108 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.360 back when Jimmy Fallon was a failure as an entertainer as opposed to now there 109 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:36.399 we go, Rocky horror picture show. That was way before I was born. 110 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.480 But I love that movie. Okay, all right, you saved yourself 111 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:47.839 at the end there. But that movie. Can you sing any of any 112 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.600 of the songs other than time Warp? No? You don't want to hear 113 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.199 me sing? No, actually we do. That's the whole point. I'm 114 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.199 getting ready to break dance and you can't sing. I need I need to 115 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.759 like five drinks. Okay, we didn't say you're gonna get paid for We're 116 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.680 just gonna have to. You know, it's Later with Mo Kelly can if 117 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.279 I AM six forty were live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm gonna go, 118 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.680 U going to go break dance in the kitchen. You're listening to Later 119 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:24.120 with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. Then I'm tired. 120 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.240 You need to explain to people what they missed that. Okay, if you're 121 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.959 just tuning in for some reason. As I was running down what we're going 122 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.879 to discuss on the show tonight, one story is to Paris twenty twenty four 123 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.799 Olympics. They're going to debut high level breakdancing, and I said, I 124 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.639 missed my shot. I should have been given the opportunity to try out. 125 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.720 I used to break dance back in the mid nineteen eighties, which just happens 126 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.159 to be forty years ago. Nothing has changed since then. So I said, 127 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.159 let me go into the kitchen, move out the tables and see what 128 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.960 I got left in the tank. Well, I'm here to tell you nothing, 129 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:09.440 absolutely nothing when it comes to breakdancing. Did an Instagram live to Wallace 130 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.679 putting it up right now. Later with mo Kelly on Instagram and at mister 131 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.919 mo Kelly producer Kiki. You took a video, you saw it live. 132 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.039 I need to rest talk. I was very impressed with the breakdancing. You 133 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.000 say that you don't have anything left and you that might, in your case, 134 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.639 be the last little bit. Then I had left. You spent a 135 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.720 good while afterwards just playing on the floor. But I was very impressed. 136 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.879 I could never do anything like that. Well, you know, you should 137 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.519 have seen in my youth. Actually there is a picture. There might be 138 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.679 some video flow around, but there is a picture when I was break dancing 139 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.519 in high school as part of a school assembly at South Towrent High School. 140 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.759 And that was nineteen eighty five. But those days are gone, nah, 141 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.399 but that was epic. Good you. I still have skills, though, 142 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.519 I could. I could see the formation, look your uprock into you know, 143 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.440 your groundwork. You had the flare action of the back spin. I 144 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.080 could see the beginnings of it. I could see even even you how you 145 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.279 were getting into it. I can see. I was tempted to try my 146 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.919 egg roll. I said, no, what is that is that? Where 147 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:24.480 you sit there and consume an egg roll role. It's like you're spinning around 148 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.000 and your legs are in a V and you're moving in a circle. Up. 149 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.360 By the way, we just passed the fortieth anniversary of the movie Beat 150 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.000 Street. That was June eighth, nineteen eighty four, one of the greatest 151 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.320 movies of all time. Of all time, you're making me want to watch 152 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.000 Breaking two Electric Boom. No no, no, watch Breaking one? Not 153 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:46.039 too? Do not watch two Electric Bugaloo? No no, no, no, 154 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.200 no, yeah, Well that only has the opposite effect. I'm sorry 155 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.519 to tell you this. So the next time I want to act out anything 156 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.679 on the show Rundown, just remind me about this and I will think better 157 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:00.159 of it. That was so good, though, so much fun. It 158 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.399 was so much better in my mind. It was so much better in my 159 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.919 mind. In my mind, it's like, how do this? How did 160 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.559 you do that? And I said, maybe I'll do with some swipes and 161 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.559 it didn't turn out the way. What kind of first aid facilities does the 162 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.360 building have here? There? You know it's on the walls, that little 163 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:26.600 box of band aids and and band aids and kills and cardio paddle. No 164 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.480 no, no, no, no no, we don't have a different defibrillator. 165 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.440 All right. The most impressive part about that whole thing was you did 166 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.399 it without any music to a commercial that was playing overhead in the kitchen, 167 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.480 and all you could hear was your little sneaker squeaks. It was like a 168 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.279 silent disco going. I can hear it in my mind. That's good. 169 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.480 No, I was very impressed. You're laughing at me, not with me. 170 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.799 Yeah, that was good, so much fun. And you did it. 171 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.600 Look you talk about it, you be about it. We did both. 172 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.320 You might have to do a second video because I might want to improve 173 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.720 upon that. Oh yes please. Oh so now you're gonna root me on? 174 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.960 Yeah, yeah, don't sweat the preposition, daddy, Oh just do 175 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:20.039 it. Look at the video was up? Okay, so is it at 176 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:26.639 later with Mo Kelly. At mister Kelly, I'm trying to relive my youth, 177 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.279 trying to do some of my breakdancing moves. I can't quite do my 178 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:35.759 swipes anymore, and did a backspan for about a half a spin. So 179 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.440 you can go ahead and judge me. Do your worst, like Mark Ronner, 180 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.799 just do your worst. No, No, I support you one hundred 181 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.320 percent. I mean literally, I might have to wind up supporting you. 182 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.840 All right, So that was my childhood. I used to break dance every 183 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.360 night in my teenage years. I can't speak for Tuala. I know Mark 184 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.440 wasn't He hasn't even eaten, so he doesn't know anything about that. I 185 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.320 know. Yeah, we used to be out there. My crew actually had 186 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.320 a slab of cardboard that you could fold up and we put uh linoleum tiled 187 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.440 pieces on it. We used to go to the Pasadena Post Office, like 188 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.159 right there in the lobby entrance and be out there take it wherever. I 189 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.519 was not really good. I was more uh into pop and stuff, but 190 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.639 we like we had wait wait, wait, wait you know I pop lot 191 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.440 too. No, yes, no, I know. Look I suck because 192 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.440 I seek from you in the That's what we're gonna do, right, Okay. 193 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.200 Two, when we go back at the end of this break, before 194 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.679 we talk to Blake Trolley, I'll do some poplock and see you can see 195 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.720 I'm legit. You didn't know he still got skills. Every break is going 196 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.360 to be a new dam style. You're laughing now, but see at the 197 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.759 end of this you're gonna say, wow, he really has some skills. 198 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.440 Yep. Yeah. So when we come back, Blake Trolley will join us. 199 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.840 He will tell us about his day at Kelson, LA. To be 200 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.799 serious for a moment, there was another round of demonstrations and occupying a campus 201 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.200 building. There was extensive vandalism. But I wanted to get someone who was 202 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.360 there who give us a and a an on the ground look at what happened, 203 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.559 whether any minds were changed, or whether this is going to lead to 204 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.279 something bigger or some sort of escalation. So when we come back, we'll 205 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.080 talk to Blake Trolley and find out what happened at cal State LA today. 206 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.759 It's Later with mo Kelly. We'll be going Instagram live in just a second 207 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.440 from the kitchen once again KFIM six forty. We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 208 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.200 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty 209 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.440 and you know my now. Pro Palestinian protesters took over the student Services building 210 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:52.000 at cal State LA today. Excuse me, starting yesterday, blocking off entrances 211 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:58.879 and exits in what university officials called an unauthorized action. It has escalated from 212 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.600 there. There has been extend vandalism. From what has been published, camfies 213 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.000 owned Blake Trolley has information was on the scene, Blake, how are you 214 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.080 doing this evening? What can you tell us at this point? Well, 215 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.919 I'm glad to know Abo that it is unauthorized to tip over golf carts on 216 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.799 cal State LA's campus just to create a barrier while you take over a building 217 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.679 on campus. I seen pictures of the graffiti. I've seen pictures of the 218 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.120 barricades, the trash, the campus furniture which is being used. But what 219 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.519 did you see that may have not been publicized at this point. Oooh, 220 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.200 that's a really good question. Well, we publicized this earlier today, but 221 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.679 a lot of the material that was used to create this barrier came from all 222 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.919 over campus, which you probably didn't see from the photos. Actually, i'll 223 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.679 pivot here for a second, which you probably didn't see from the photos was 224 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.279 that those umbrellas that were tipped over, those were not just umbrellas that they 225 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.960 used to create a barrier. What those actually were were all one solid unit. 226 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:07.039 They were picnic tables that are scattered across campus, super heavy units. 227 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.279 By the way, those umbrellas are made of metal, So there are these 228 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.320 metal umbrellas go that have a pole that goes down into a picnic bench that 229 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:21.519 has built in seats. That's what they were tipping over when they created those. 230 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.120 The portion of the barricade that was made with umbrellas. Otherwise, I 231 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.639 saw some takeout, some uneaten takeout that was that the front of the barrier. 232 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.440 And on top of that, we did see some hard helmets and some 233 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.559 yellow and orange vests and we presume that those came from a construction site that 234 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.320 we were told the protesters that stolen supply wood from on campus. But yeah, 235 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.120 what happened yesterday mo was there was there's a camp that's been on campus 236 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.919 for about six weeks now forty days, and so far it's just been a 237 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.919 small group of students, although it is a large camp. I did post 238 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.120 video of this if anybody wants to look at it, it's on my Twitter 239 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.880 at Blake Trolley. But there's been a camp for about six weeks on this 240 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:12.920 campus, and yesterday school officials say that people started joining the camp. People 241 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.960 who were not at the camp before started heading over to the camp joining it, 242 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.000 and at that point things really started to ramp up. These students made 243 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.400 their way across the quad. It was about a two hundred yard walk over 244 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:32.039 to the student services building. They started developing this barricade. They then entered 245 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:37.920 the first two floors of that student services building, graefeeding the windows, damaging 246 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:44.200 the building. Meanwhile, fifty eight school staff and administration were inside the building 247 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.960 and they were ordered to shelter in place. Those students enter the building about 248 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.319 four pm. Police were able to escort most of these staff that administrators out 249 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.519 by six pm, but twelve did remain. And it sounds like they were 250 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.799 trying to negotiate with these pro Palestinian protesters. We were told they were not 251 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:08.119 stuck in there, they stayed on their own accord, but that they were 252 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.559 trying to come to a peaceful resolution. I know that classes had been moved 253 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.960 online, but I'm not sure of the campus schedule. Are we postgraduation in 254 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:23.279 these are summer classes or are we still in the main school term. Yeah, 255 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.759 so they've had their graduation for the spring of twenty twenty four, so 256 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.720 these are summer classes. And there were students showing up today. We actually 257 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:36.160 spoke with one student and he was first and foremost. He was very confused 258 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.839 about the whole thing. He showed up only to have a bunch of the 259 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.160 local reporters of LA tell him that class had been moved online. He had 260 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.960 not gotten the memo yet. There are a few other students like that this 261 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:49.359 morning on campus, and you know, he was really frustrated with the whole 262 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:56.240 situation. He felt like these protesters were being selfish and you know, disrupting 263 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.119 campus for everybody else. So he was very unhappy to say the least. 264 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:04.920 Is this a coordinated effort? What I mean by that is is we know 265 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:12.920 that the demands include divestment, We know that there are are reticent to budge 266 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.920 on those demands, But do we know if this is organized in any way 267 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.119 or is it just going day by day just being intransigent and seeing if that's 268 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.000 going to move the meter that makes any sense. My assessment of this whole 269 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.000 thing is that it is organized. If we walked back about a month, 270 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.559 these students were speaking, or these students had some sort of meeting with campus 271 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.119 officials, and at that point in time, campus officials had green lit the 272 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.799 idea of becoming more transparent with how the school invested its money. That said, 273 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:47.640 the school did not make any commitments to divest and it sounds like from 274 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.279 that period from at least what the protesters are complaining about. They feel like 275 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.680 the school went quiet on them. Again, this is about a month ago. 276 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.400 Then you hear those reports, and we heard this from school officials this 277 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:03.680 morning that a bunch of other protesters. So this camp has existed for forty 278 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:10.119 days, but a large number of protesters joined the camp yesterday and that's when 279 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.480 they headed to the building. They chained themselves to each other and they said 280 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.359 that they would not budge until the school president spoke with them. And keep 281 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.000 in mind that school president, the school's president, her name is getting away 282 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.200 from me right now, but she was on campus. The student services building 283 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.599 that they went into is the building she works. And we're told she was 284 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.200 on campus and she left at about one am this morning, so she was 285 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:41.240 part of that contingent of school staff that stayed on campus past one am trying 286 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.359 to speak with these with these protesters. President Benner and the STA jay ains 287 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.039 EANs. Is that yes, that yeah, that was her. So she 288 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.839 was on campus, as was the pio actually the spokesperson for the school who 289 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:59.519 came out. He was actually part of the group that was there past one 290 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.279 am. So just speaking with him this morning, it was it was he 291 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.720 had he had a long night because he was there till I don't know, 292 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.160 once fifteen one thirty in the morning. It sounds like he has some sort 293 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.839 of commute and he came back to campus this morning and he was giving a 294 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.240 press conference at nine am. We know that the protesters are on a path 295 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.920 of escalation. They feel it's justified, but we know that they are on 296 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.440 a path of escalation, and we know that this university, cal State LA 297 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.720 and other universities are treading lightly. I would say that they don't want to 298 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.039 have another UCLA situation. But do we know how much time before Cal State 299 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:41.400 LA will resort to some sort of law enforcement solution and remove the protesters and 300 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:47.799 the encampments. Well, of course that was that question was lobbed at them 301 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.160 multiple times this morning during that press conference, but they said that they were 302 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.960 not going to share any information on that. On that front, that said, 303 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.359 I have to imagine that with this escalation, the school's probably going to 304 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.319 move pretty quickly to remove this encampment. You know, we were there this 305 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.119 morning. I do want to point this out. We did try to speak 306 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.960 to people that were inside that encampment when I showed up to the front of 307 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.519 this camp. It seems like there was some sort of recruiting. There was 308 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.319 recruiting paperwork in the beginning, and it seems like they were open to speaking 309 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.839 with us when they didn't know I was a reporter. I'm a radio reporter, 310 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.000 so I don't look like a TV reporter. I showed up to the 311 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:27.400 front of it, and it looked like they were open to speaking with me. 312 00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.160 Once I said I was with the media, they essentially retreated in and 313 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.960 you know that was that they were not open to speaking with the media. 314 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.440 I wouldn't necessarily say it was hostile, but it wasn't very friendly. And 315 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.920 I would imagine at this point, the you know, the campus is seeing 316 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.359 just the overall nature of the way this camp is operating, that it's so 317 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.839 self contained. Now you've got this escalation, I'd imagine the campus is going 318 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:57.680 to move pretty quickly to eradicate this camp. Well, late TROLLI thank you 319 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.240 so much for being there, getting eyes on the scene, and giving us 320 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:06.559 a perspective that we did not already have. Blake be safe out there, 321 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.319 and I'm quite sure we will check in with you again as this story continues 322 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.559 to evolve. Hi. Thanks Bob, It's Later with mo Kelly. We 323 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.000 have a Disneyland update when we come back KFI AM six forty. We're live 324 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.359 everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, and be sure to go to at Later with 325 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.279 mo Kelly or at mister mo Kelly on Instagram and you can see me acting 326 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:29.799 all sorts of unusual and trying to relive my breakdancing and pop locking past of 327 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.640 nineteen eighty four. You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from KFI 328 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:41.759 AM six forty. And Disneyland is cutting back on entertainment during the peak summer 329 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:49.319 season. Say what, why would Disneyland be cutting back or even canceling shows 330 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.720 during peak summer season. Well, that's what's happening. Disney California Adventure, 331 00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.119 Let's Start There, has canceled two shows and cutback performance on two more. 332 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:07.559 As Atmosphere entertainment continues to shrink at that theme park heading into the busy Fourth 333 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.640 of July weekend to speak of summer, Disney California Adventure is trimming schedules in 334 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:18.400 July for the Warriors of Wakanda and Avengers Campus and the citizens of Buena Vista 335 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:26.480 Street along the park's main entrance Promenade. Disney California Adventure continually evaluates entertainment offerings 336 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.079 and makes adjustments. That's according to Disneyland officials. Both Warriors of Wakanda and 337 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.720 Citizens of Winnivista Street performed daily in June, but they'll cut back their performances 338 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.359 in July and going forward. I don't know why they would do that. 339 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:47.079 Of course, there's a monetary component. I'm sure they are making a calculation 340 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.000 that this saves money. But give it. How often we hear about how 341 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.559 Disneyland has raised the price of this, the cost of that, the passes 342 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.680 and so forth. I didn't know that Disneyland the theme park had anything to 343 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.960 worry about in that regard. And I know there has been this union fight 344 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:12.960 as of late with these performers, and maybe they are forecasting the financial impact 345 00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.440 and so they are pulling back. I'm not saying that it's being done to 346 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.640 penalize performers, but I think they might be making a calculation mathematically where they 347 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.480 don't want to put out more money over the summer months than they would have 348 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:32.720 before. That's just me on the outside looking in, but someone who may 349 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:38.240 have a little more perspective than me is producer Keana who worked at Digitaland for 350 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.440 the past thirty four years. If I'm not mistaken, If I'm not mistaken, 351 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.240 thirty four years more than I've been alive. Well, you know, 352 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:51.480 he started in the womb plus ten years. But when you saw this story, 353 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.599 was there anything which jumped out of you? Or is this just more 354 00:25:53.799 --> 00:26:02.119 business as usual Disney the company just making adjustments and calculations for the summer. 355 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:07.480 It just feels like business as usual. I'm not surprised saying yeah, I'm 356 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:15.359 not surprised that they're doing more cuts, like they're coming back from what pre 357 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.039 COVID to that post COVID, like so much has changed with from the cast 358 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:26.920 member's perspective of just you know, quality and everything, it felt cheaped out 359 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:36.279 and I would get yeah, and so it felt like we were cheaping off 360 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.319 the guests and the guests were noticing it. And you know, we're just 361 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.799 doing our job. We go to work, we go home it day to 362 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.880 day. But you know, we're there to make magic. We want to 363 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.480 see the guests happy. We want to show the kids that, you know, 364 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.680 this is a magical place to have a great time. And so it's 365 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.839 it's not surprising that they're doing this, and it's really sad that they're doing 366 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.400 this for both the cast members and for the guests that are paying so much 367 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.000 money to go to the parks for the summer. When you see that they 368 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.799 are pulling back some twenty percent, does that mean that they wouldn't do a 369 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.640 night show or they would do fewer shows. Are the cast members when you 370 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.359 were there, were they're being paid by the show or is it just a 371 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.640 six hour period in which they're supposed to be working. I think, from 372 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:27.240 what I can remember, and don't like super quote me on this, but 373 00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:32.920 from what I can remember, the character performers I think worked. They were 374 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:37.680 on a contract, so it would be for whatever time that they were working. 375 00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:41.720 Oh okay, But let's say they're supposed to work six hours in a 376 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:47.279 given day. That could mean two or three shows, yeah, throughout the 377 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:48.880 day. Okay, all right, I wanted so there has to be some 378 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:55.079 sort of cost benefit to doing fewer shows. I don't know if it's a 379 00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.240 saving of resources beyond the people performing not. I was wonder if they were 380 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.759 paid by their performance or not. Was it just an hourly rate over the 381 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.759 period of time that they're supposed to be at the park as far as I 382 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.000 could remember it, it's when they are performing and in their costume that they 383 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:17.240 are getting paid. Again, don't totally quote me on that. I wasn't 384 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.920 an entertainment cast member at all. I was just one of the regular attractions, 385 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.319 hosts, costuming and quick service. I didn't really deal with that, 386 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.519 but from the areas that I worked and talking with other people, that's how 387 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.960 I saw it was working. Hey, Twala, you've were at Disneyland more 388 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:38.519 recently than any of us here. Was there anything that you noticed or felt 389 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:45.480 that Disneyland was pulling back on? One thing that I thought was interesting is 390 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:52.519 I felt the parade overall had fewer performers. I think that the floats went 391 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.319 by, but all the performers that we usually see in between the floats, 392 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:02.119 there were fewer dancers and performers in between, and there were fewer performers on 393 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:06.960 the floats, Like there was just main characters on floats, and in between 394 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:10.599 that you had just a few people dancing, called people holding banners. But 395 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.839 it wasn't the grand spectacle that it was before. So we saw it go 396 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.440 by, We're like, where are the rest of the is this like any 397 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:19.960 parade is this like you know, just hey, we're just warm you up 398 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.039 for the parrey later on tonight. Because it just I didn't see as many 399 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:30.400 people in the parade. I wonder maybe because it was reported that we're paying 400 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.680 more attention to it. Maybe this is something that they do most years, 401 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.680 and we're just more sensitive to it now. But I think people are going 402 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:38.880 to be watching this, and since we're now aware of that, when we 403 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.599 do go to the park, going to say, hey, this feels thinner, 404 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.799 this feels like we're not getting as much for our one hundred and twenty 405 00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.240 dollars as we normally would. And I currently have an annual pass, so 406 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.400 I go quite a few times myself throughout the year, and me and my 407 00:29:55.480 --> 00:30:02.000 friend we love going during like the festival seasons with food and wine and Christmas 408 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:06.880 and Halloween and everything or sorry, the holidays, the Festival of Holidays what 409 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:12.599 they call it. But we've noticed just last year with the Festival of Holidays 410 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:18.839 that there wasn't a lot of oomph in all of the food and the entertainment. 411 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:25.160 It just felt like and every other day at Disneyland, it didn't feel 412 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:30.160 super super special like it had been the year's prior, and so I'm not 413 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:36.160 going as an annual pass holder. It really feels I can see it every 414 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:41.279 time I go that it feels less and less magic than Are you just getting 415 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.319 old? As you get older, you know, it's not the same. 416 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.400 Also, the food is so expensive, and so every time we're like, 417 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.759 let's share some nacho. Different now because you're paying for your own food. 418 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.400 It's not like your mother's taking you and paying for your food. Yeah, 419 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.319 well that's adulthood. Thanks. I still get my ten percent off the food, 420 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.880 and it's sad because I used to get what twenty percent off the food 421 00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.160 and merge. But now that I'm no longer a caskma, are you just 422 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.759 a peon like us? Yeah? Well, since we were talking about the 423 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.440 fourth of July and summer season, remember do not miss Born on the fourth 424 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:18.160 of July.

And there's also 427 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:33.880 a pre and post show concert and a world premiere of unperformed Cohn songs. 428 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.359 It all happens on Sunday, June thirtieth and Lamarada Theater for the Performing Arts. 429 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.960 But you gotta hurry up and get your tickets now.
