Speaker 1: It's about it's about ready to get interesting in America.
Speaker 1: Let me put it like that. This later with mo
Speaker 1: Kelly if I am six forty live everywhere on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. The countdown is on. In about twenty five hours,
Speaker 1: the polls will close here in California, and by that
Speaker 1: time we'll have a better sense of what the House
Speaker 1: will look like on the federal level, what the Senate
Speaker 1: will look like on a federal level, and we probably
Speaker 1: will have zero idea who will be our president at
Speaker 1: that time. And if anyone says, well, we should know
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night, you just don't understand how the process works.
Speaker 1: We have more than eighty million mail in ballots last
Speaker 1: I saw that are already in the possession of various states,
Speaker 1: and they can't even start counting them yet. I think,
Speaker 1: with exception of Florida and a few other states, legally
Speaker 1: they cannot start tabulating. Some states they can't even open
Speaker 1: the ballots. Some states they can, but they can't for
Speaker 1: the most part, count any of those mail in ballots
Speaker 1: until the polls close in their respective locations. Meaning if
Speaker 1: you hear someone say, hey, so and so is leading
Speaker 1: and mail in balloting, they are lying they are lying
Speaker 1: or wish casting. Let's just say wish casting. There's no
Speaker 1: way to know who is leading. Now they can try
Speaker 1: to surmise looking at registrations, what counties they're coming from,
Speaker 1: historical data, how that person, excuse me, that area might
Speaker 1: have voted, and then they'll make some educated guesses. But
Speaker 1: there's no way to know. Nobody knows what is going
Speaker 1: to happen. Billions of dollars has been spent in advertising.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. And I know you probably look put it
Speaker 1: this way, from the messages that you sent me. You said, Hey,
Speaker 1: me and all my friends, we're voting for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean a damn thing. You and all eight of
Speaker 1: your friends you know, or even eight relatives. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four, it's a done deal. No it isn't. No,
Speaker 1: it isn't. Nobody really knows what's going to happen, not
Speaker 1: only tomorrow, but well into Wednesday, I would say even Thursday.
Speaker 1: Because the more mail in ballots you have, the longer
Speaker 1: the process it's going to take. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: it's illegitimate. It doesn't mean that someone's cheating. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that the election is stolen. It just means that
Speaker 1: there's a higher turnout and it's going to take longer
Speaker 1: to count the ballots. If you know the process, this
Speaker 1: will not surprise you in any way. If someone Wink
Speaker 1: wink should declare themselves the winner on Tuesday night, just
Speaker 1: know that getting out in front of things and getting
Speaker 1: ahead of themselves. But I will say this, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking just about politics tonight. This is one
Speaker 1: of those rare occasions. I'm just doing straight politics the bumpers.
Speaker 1: The music will be featuring the rich legacy of Quincy Jones,
Speaker 1: either as a songwriter, producer, or a ranger. Be nothing
Speaker 1: but Quincy Jones music tonight, obviously in light of his
Speaker 1: passing yesterday at the age of ninety one. But all
Speaker 1: the content in between the bumpers will be just about politics,
Speaker 1: local and national. And I will say this, these two
Speaker 1: presidential candidates could not be more disparate in nature, not
Speaker 1: only who they are, but also they're closing arguments. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand a lot of things that former President
Speaker 1: Trump does. I just don't understand it. It doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like he's trying to raise his ceiling of voters. It
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he is reaching out, calling out, trying
Speaker 1: to entice voters that he didn't already have to come
Speaker 1: in to his tent. It doesn't seem like it. When
Speaker 1: I was watching his rallies, and I watch as many
Speaker 1: of them as I can, When I was watching his rallies,
Speaker 1: it just seemed like he was speaking to the same people.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like he was saying, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: come with me, even though you may not have considered
Speaker 1: me before. It just seemed like he was talking about
Speaker 1: something completely different. And it's an unconventional campaign. He's an
Speaker 1: unconventional candidate. He was previously an unconventional president. And if
Speaker 1: it turns out that all this works for him, then
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the first time that I was wrong
Speaker 1: about something. And you know, kudos to him. It just
Speaker 1: seems like he's not giving himself the best chance to win.
Speaker 1: When he, for example, when he said that he shouldn't
Speaker 1: have left the White House recently, that's rather odd thing
Speaker 1: to say.
Speaker 2: We had the best economy ever, We had that wall,
Speaker 2: We had everything I built over five hundred miles away.
Speaker 2: They didn't even talk about the wall, but we had
Speaker 2: the best border. The safest border. I won't pull down
Speaker 2: my world's favorite jactus. I don't want to waste a
Speaker 2: lot of your time. But my world's favorite shore done
Speaker 2: by the Border Patrol. It said we had the safest
Speaker 2: border in the history of our country. The day that
Speaker 2: I left. I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, huh.
Speaker 1: If you should lose an election, and he did, you
Speaker 1: have to leave. That's just how it works. You don't
Speaker 1: get to squat in the White House. You don't just
Speaker 1: get to arbitrarily decide. It's like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: got stuff to do next week. So I don't feel
Speaker 1: like packing. So I think I'm gonna stay a little
Speaker 1: while longer. I did a real good job. The world
Speaker 1: loved me.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Look at my beautiful border wall, that big, beautiful border wall.
Speaker 1: I think I'll stay. No, it doesn't work that. It
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. You don't get to just stay
Speaker 1: because you feel like you deserve to stay. I mean,
Speaker 1: in other countries they call that a coup if you do.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have left.
Speaker 2: I mean honestly, because we did so, we did so well,
Speaker 2: We had such a great so now, I mean, every
Speaker 2: polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there. It's all
Speaker 2: about the lawyers. Everybody's standing at lawyers. Nobody should have that.
Speaker 2: You should have a damn ballot and you hand it in.
Speaker 2: Do you know that an Arizona where I'm winning by
Speaker 2: a lot?
Speaker 1: I don't know what he means by winning by a
Speaker 1: lot because no folks have been tabulated. Maybe he means
Speaker 1: leading in the polls. I don't know. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to explain what he means because I don't know what
Speaker 1: he means in that instance.
Speaker 2: Do you know that an Arizona where I'm winning by
Speaker 2: a lot, but it takes four hours to fill out
Speaker 2: the ballot?
Speaker 1: Huh? Takes four hours to fill out the ballot. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he's referring to. I just don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, you can go ahead and try to figure
Speaker 1: it out. But there was something else he said that
Speaker 1: I took note of. That for me gives me pause,
Speaker 1: and it seemed not the best message to send the
Speaker 1: two days before an election when you're talking about well,
Speaker 1: let me set up the clip. In this clip, he's
Speaker 1: talking about the bulletproof glass in front of him. How
Speaker 1: it's not completely contiguous, it's not completely connected, there are
Speaker 1: some gaps in it, and he's explaining in between the gaps,
Speaker 1: line of sight and the fake news media. That's just
Speaker 1: setting up the clip.
Speaker 2: I have a piece of glass over here, and I
Speaker 2: don't have a piece of glass there, and this piece
Speaker 2: of glass here, but all we have really over here
Speaker 2: is the fake news.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through
Speaker 2: the fake news.
Speaker 1: And I don't mind that so much. I just don't
Speaker 1: think that's funny, and I don't think that is something
Speaker 1: that's going to bring him more voters. Now. Historically, he's
Speaker 1: always satured around forty seven percent. That's been his ceiling historically,
Speaker 1: and his floor is higher than most candidates. In other words,
Speaker 1: his loyal, most faithful supporters won't leave him, so he's
Speaker 1: not going to go down. I think it's around thirty
Speaker 1: five thirty six percent. It's just locked in, baked in,
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But I don't know if that message
Speaker 1: is going to bring more to his base or his
Speaker 1: base of support, which he needs to win. I'm just
Speaker 1: talking about the analysis of it all. It's a strange
Speaker 1: closing message when you're talking about you're being okay, if
Speaker 1: someone shoots thequoe nquote fake news media.
Speaker 2: The fake news, and I don't mind that so much.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty mo Kelly.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All the music
Speaker 1: tonight is in remembrance of the Quincy Jones who passed
Speaker 1: away tonight, excuse me yesterday at the age of ninety one.
Speaker 1: And in between the bumpers, we're talking nothing but politics
Speaker 1: as election day is upon us. It's election Eve, and
Speaker 1: Twela and I were having a conversation during the break
Speaker 1: and I have a feeling that your lives are similar
Speaker 1: to ours in disrespect. Have you ever like walked into
Speaker 1: the office and there's a group of people and they
Speaker 1: act like they want your opinion on politics, but actually
Speaker 1: they just want to give you their opinion on policy.
Speaker 1: They may say, hey, tuwala, you know the the elections
Speaker 1: coming up, and it's really crazy out there. All these
Speaker 1: strange things are happening. I can't believe that they might
Speaker 1: elect Kamala Harris. Oh there's the bab. There's the bab.
Speaker 1: It's the bate. And how you respond is going to
Speaker 1: dictate how the next thirty five minutes are gonna go
Speaker 1: in your office, or it could be it'd be like, gosh,
Speaker 1: you know this country, I wish they would just get
Speaker 1: over itself and just go ahead and elect a woman.
Speaker 1: Is there a counselor is there a question in there?
Speaker 1: It's because you're because you're sitting at my way. You
Speaker 1: want me to respond so you can gauge where I
Speaker 1: am on the political spectrum, so you can then launch
Speaker 1: in with your opinions. I get it all the time,
Speaker 1: and I, if at all possible, I never take the bate,
Speaker 1: especially if I'm out in public, if only because sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm recognized. Some people know what I may do when
Speaker 1: I go to my hangouts and everything, and sometimes this
Speaker 1: well intentioned they may want my opinion. Like someone will
Speaker 1: ask them like, hey, what do you think about this judge?
Speaker 1: What do you think? And I said, I haven't gotten
Speaker 1: into that yet. Or they may ask like what do
Speaker 1: you think is going to happen? And I say to
Speaker 1: them what I say to you, No one knows what
Speaker 1: is going to happen. That's why you have former President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump going to four states today. If he knew
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. Do you think it'd be
Speaker 1: in four different states. No, do you think Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: will be spending her whole month in Pennsylvania if she knew. No,
Speaker 1: nobody knows. They're just doing all that they can to
Speaker 1: control that which they can't control. But I get a
Speaker 1: kick out of the folks who try to give you
Speaker 1: that little bait out there. It's like, hey, yeah, so
Speaker 1: what do you think about the election? I don't think anything.
Speaker 1: I know because you just want to tell me what
Speaker 1: you think. How do you avoid the bait? Though? The
Speaker 1: bait is alway so tasty. Look you look after you've
Speaker 1: tasted some nasty bait, then you realize, Okay, you know
Speaker 1: it's a trap. It's a trap. And what I will
Speaker 1: do is I will hear conversations. People will talk politics
Speaker 1: around me, or they'll ask me a direct question, and
Speaker 1: it's like my response is usually the same. I'm off work.
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, don't I don't have anything I do.
Speaker 1: That's my job. That's I'm here to have a glass
Speaker 1: of wine. I'm not here to talk about Kamala and Donald.
Speaker 1: I'm just not. But it's always funny to me, especially
Speaker 1: in an office environment, it's a little bit different when
Speaker 1: we're here at CAFI because you know, we're not all
Speaker 1: in at the same time. We're not passing each other
Speaker 1: in the halls, spending seven and eight hours around each other,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to cross paths with Gary and
Speaker 1: Shannon for the most part, because we're just not here
Speaker 1: at the same time. Every once in a while will
Speaker 1: pass John Cobelt in the hall depending on when he's
Speaker 1: leaving it when I'm getting here, but we're not talking
Speaker 1: about this, you know. So this is a very different
Speaker 1: work environment. And I think, you know, the typical office
Speaker 1: with the water cooler and everything, and I just I
Speaker 1: avoid it like the plague, because it's not a three
Speaker 1: minute conversation. It's a forty minute conversation with you doing
Speaker 1: most of the talking.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I have noticed how most interactions with you or Mark,
Speaker 5: or even on myself, we always find ourselves talking about
Speaker 5: other things. Like we're talking to news director Chris Little,
Speaker 5: we're not talking about the news. We'll be talking about
Speaker 5: you know, going on cruises or a movie. Yeah, like
Speaker 5: we talk about everything else but the actual news.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a byproduct. It's up to Mark whether he agrees,
Speaker 1: but for me, I know it's a byproduct of I
Speaker 1: talk about news enough in my day to day. I'm
Speaker 1: dealing with the news with Chris Little. That could kind
Speaker 1: of thing that's not a conversation starter, not for me,
Speaker 1: you know, other than hey, do you know of this
Speaker 1: which is going on right now? It may impact your show,
Speaker 1: But it's not like we're going to sit around and
Speaker 1: just talk about Wow, that metro bus meeting with something else. No,
Speaker 1: a conversation start, not at all, Not at all. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about maybe if he's writing metro link and if
Speaker 1: he's had any type of issues. But I don't talk
Speaker 1: to I don't talk about the news just about anybody.
Speaker 1: I mean, I may talk about it on social media,
Speaker 1: but for interpersonal relationships, no, And it's not like you
Speaker 1: shouldn't talk politics in the office. It's like, no, it's
Speaker 1: just not. It's not interesting to me to have a
Speaker 1: conversation with someone about ish I do professionally. It just isn't.
Speaker 5: I would think with you you probably would receive that more,
Speaker 5: especially now more than most because people want your opinions
Speaker 5: what you literally do day in day out, So it's
Speaker 5: like you know, whether it be here, whether it be
Speaker 5: on one of the news networks. That is what you do,
Speaker 5: So I wonder is it curiosity?
Speaker 1: No, if someone recognizes me from spectrum, they most definitely
Speaker 1: want to talk about politics. Okay, that's what they want
Speaker 1: to talk about, just because that's their only reference point.
Speaker 1: And usually I'm talking about politics. It's on spectrums that
Speaker 1: they say, so what did you mean when you said?
Speaker 1: Or they'll misquote me and allege that I said something
Speaker 1: that I know I didn't say. It's how is it
Speaker 1: you think that da da da da da? I never
Speaker 1: said that. Look, I'm not responsible for defending arguments I
Speaker 1: did not make. I'm not responsible for trying to argue
Speaker 1: what you wish I said or believed. And I had
Speaker 1: a post on social media today on my personal Facebook,
Speaker 1: or I'm saying like, not a day goes by in
Speaker 1: which people try to tell me what I believe and
Speaker 1: who I support. Why not a day goes by someone
Speaker 1: is always trying to tell me, Oh, you're just a
Speaker 1: bleeding heart liberal stuck on that democratic. No, they say
Speaker 1: democrat plantation, Oh that is always a good one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh do you say that to non black people or
Speaker 1: only black people? Because when you say plantation, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: like slavery iconography. So you know, I'm thinking like you're
Speaker 1: trying to say something to me specifically. I know I
Speaker 1: sound like Bill Clinton, but I did not have sex
Speaker 1: with that woman on that plantation. Right.
Speaker 3: It's rough when you got to play the plantation card,
Speaker 3: isn't it. I couldn't even believe when I moved here
Speaker 3: and there was a place called soup Plantation, It's like,
Speaker 3: what the hell's going on? It still exists? Is there
Speaker 3: another place called indentured sandwich?
Speaker 1: Tude? What's plantation? Okay, well, well put it this way. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say it, but you can say it.
Speaker 1: There's this buffet place that used to be in Torrents
Speaker 1: called blank Barrel. Oh, cracker Barrel. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: another weird. Yeah, it's like, it's a weird it's a
Speaker 1: weird put its way, it doesn't It doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: you meant when you name the restaurant. It's still a
Speaker 1: strange name for a restaurant, and it's going to get misconstrued.
Speaker 1: It's going to be at the office. No, no, where
Speaker 1: are you going to lunch today?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Red Lobster? I don't care if they're closed. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to the other places I've refuse. No, how did
Speaker 1: I get here? Oh yeah, it's just the stuff that
Speaker 1: people say to me is really, really weird. It's like
Speaker 1: you thought you were going to get a positive response
Speaker 1: out of me, You thought you're going to get any
Speaker 1: response out of me. And I say all that to
Speaker 1: say the election has made people dumb, I mean seriously idiotic,
Speaker 1: the things that they say, how they approach the subject matter,
Speaker 1: and how they engage other people. I cannot wait for
Speaker 1: this election to be over. And it's not going to
Speaker 1: be over tomorrow, Like I said last segment, it's not
Speaker 1: going to be over to probably Wednesday Thursday. In terms
Speaker 1: of president now we'll know who's controlling the Senate and
Speaker 1: that'll probably be the Republicans. Well, mo, I thought you
Speaker 1: said you couldn't predict the future. No, but I know
Speaker 1: basic math, and let me just run this down for
Speaker 1: you real quick. The Democrats are defending more seats in
Speaker 1: the Senate than the Republicans, and if you're defending a seat,
Speaker 1: you cannot add to your total. It's a virtual tie
Speaker 1: in the Senate. So the Democrats are mostly trying to
Speaker 1: protect what they already have. They won't really be able
Speaker 1: to extend or increase their margin in the Senate, which
Speaker 1: means they're more likely to lose seats. Basic math, I
Speaker 1: know it's something pretty special. They're more likely to lose seats,
Speaker 1: which means they're more likely to lose control of the
Speaker 1: Senate as opposed to the House, where you have four
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five races all tomorrow and that can
Speaker 1: go either way, but you can go by the general
Speaker 1: mood of the country, where there's more data to suggest
Speaker 1: that the Democrats will probably not definitely, but probably take
Speaker 1: the House and we'll still have divided government regardless of
Speaker 1: who becomes president. But we won't know who's president tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: And if you're expecting that, you're going to be real upset,
Speaker 1: and it will be your own fault, because I'm letting
Speaker 1: you know right now, unless it's an absolute blowout, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna call it tomorrow night.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: KFI mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: As we're talking about all things pre election, and one
Speaker 1: of the measures which I was focusing in on just
Speaker 1: me personally, but also if you listen to later with Mokel,
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about the County of Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: how it's governed, the role of the Elle County Supervisors,
Speaker 1: the limitations of the position, and how much responsibility each
Speaker 1: supervisor has. Early five LA County Supervisors, and I refer
Speaker 1: to them in terms ofm as like many mayors, because
Speaker 1: they're responsible for about two million people each one of them.
Speaker 1: And you can imagine how unwieldy that could be when
Speaker 1: you're asking one person to handle the services which are
Speaker 1: are required and necessary for two million people across municipal boundaries.
Speaker 1: And so there was a movement afoot to increase the
Speaker 1: number of supervisors, maybe from five to seven or even
Speaker 1: when talking about Measure G to nine members. But there's
Speaker 1: been a split amongst the LA County Board of Supervisors
Speaker 1: as far as supporting it. The measure as it reads
Speaker 1: would increase the board from five to nine, and I
Speaker 1: think most people would agree with that, but not everyone
Speaker 1: is on board with the other provision, where it would
Speaker 1: have like a CEO and it will be almost like
Speaker 1: a mayor of the county and what types of powers
Speaker 1: that mayor would have, and whether the other supervisors would
Speaker 1: be subordinate to that LA County supervisor mayor for lack
Speaker 1: of a better word. I don't know what they would
Speaker 1: call the position, but it would be an elected official.
Speaker 1: I came across this really good conversation led by Conan
Speaker 1: Nolan of NBC love him, and he was talking to
Speaker 1: some of the LA County Supervisors about this, and you
Speaker 1: can get a good sense of some of the issues
Speaker 1: and some of the positives around Measure G.
Speaker 7: On the Battle of the Los Angeles County is Measured G,
Speaker 7: which would dramatically change governance of the nation's most popular
Speaker 7: county from five members of the Board of Supervisors, expanding
Speaker 7: it to nine and for the first time, allowing for
Speaker 7: the county wide election of the chief executive officer, sort
Speaker 7: of a mayor of the county. What I say earlier,
Speaker 7: we had on the two supervisors who are supporting this measure,
Speaker 7: In fact, it was their idea that would be Janis
Speaker 7: Hahn and Lindsay Horvov.
Speaker 1: Lizzy Horbath, you've heard on this show a number of times.
Speaker 7: Now we're hearing from two LA County supervisors who oppose
Speaker 7: the measure, Holly Mitchell, as well as LA County Supervisor
Speaker 7: Catherine Barker.
Speaker 1: And you've heard Holly Mitchell and Catherine Barker on this show.
Speaker 1: So this is something which speaks to me and is
Speaker 1: very important, I think, to the life of most Angelinos
Speaker 1: in La County.
Speaker 7: They both join us remotely thanks to both of you.
Speaker 1: So listen.
Speaker 7: Currently, the Board of Supervisors, you each represent two million people.
Speaker 7: From what I understand, it hasn't changed since nearly statehood
Speaker 7: the charter. So the argument is made that it is
Speaker 7: time to expand the board so that there's greater representation.
Speaker 7: Supervisor Mitchell, why is that not the case?
Speaker 8: Actually, I think it's a great idea, Conan, which is
Speaker 8: why I brought forward a motion a year ago February
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three to study overall governance updates for the
Speaker 8: county as a whole, to expand the board to consider
Speaker 8: a number of options that I think would be appropriate
Speaker 8: for the Board to take into consideration. So I think
Speaker 8: that's a great idea. I think the challenge with this
Speaker 8: measure is it does much more.
Speaker 7: Which is the county wide election is that of a
Speaker 7: chief executive officer.
Speaker 1: That's the sticking point this county CEO. What types of
Speaker 1: powers here or she would have the limitations. That's the
Speaker 1: real sticking point, and if this measure does not pass,
Speaker 1: it will be because of that.
Speaker 8: It's the county wide election of a chief executive officer
Speaker 8: who has no term limits, who has hiring and firing
Speaker 8: and oversight authority over all of the department heads, who
Speaker 8: has full control the budget with veto power over the board,
Speaker 8: and again has no term limits, which completely alters the
Speaker 8: balance of power between either five or nine or whatever
Speaker 8: number of Board of Supervisors and this singular person who'd
Speaker 8: be responsible for all ten million Angelinos.
Speaker 7: So, Supervisor Barger, is that the concern you represent North County?
Speaker 7: Is it a concern that if you had a county
Speaker 7: wide campaign for a.
Speaker 1: And here's something else which is I think worthy of highlighting.
Speaker 1: Supervisor Barger is more to the right on the political spectrum,
Speaker 1: and Supervisor Mitchell is much more to the left on
Speaker 1: the political spectrum. So this is something which is really
Speaker 1: not partisan at all. It's about the specifics and the
Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of what the Ellie County Board of
Speaker 1: Supervisors would be going forward. So this is not a
Speaker 1: partisan political fight.
Speaker 7: Executive branch and the supervisor has become the legislative branch. Essentially,
Speaker 7: then then Lancaster and Palmdale could be ignored because you
Speaker 7: don't have the density and the population that other parts
Speaker 7: of the district or the county have.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, and you know, I mean to that point, anyone
Speaker 6: that is saying that this isn't to give better representation
Speaker 6: throughout the county is being disingenuous. This is actually a
Speaker 6: consolidating power to one individual that will oversee not only
Speaker 6: forty nine billion dollar budget but ten million people. So
Speaker 6: what in fact is diluting the power of the board
Speaker 6: and giving it all to an elected CEO something that's varied.
Speaker 1: If they just put on the measure that will be
Speaker 1: increasing the number of supervisors from five to nine, I
Speaker 1: think it would pass overwhelmingly. But since you've also included
Speaker 1: this elected position which would make all the other supervisors
Speaker 1: subordinate to and as Holly Mitchell said that there would
Speaker 1: be no term limits, that I believe is going to
Speaker 1: give a lot of people pause and look to see
Speaker 1: if this measure goes down tomorrow whether one of the
Speaker 1: main complaints would be about this new position, And I
Speaker 1: would say the lack of clarity arounding how it would
Speaker 1: govern and who would be able to keep that person
Speaker 1: in check. So that's measured. Gee, That's something I'm looking
Speaker 1: at and I think you should look at as well
Speaker 1: as far as La County. It's Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to tell you about what you
Speaker 1: can expect when you go to the polls tomorrow, if
Speaker 1: you haven't already turned in your ballot, what you should do,
Speaker 1: what you should not do, what you legally cannot do,
Speaker 1: and also what type of procedure does California have when
Speaker 1: it comes to county our votes will tell you about that.
Speaker 4: Next you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
Speaker 4: from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Kf I Am six forty. We're live everywhere on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. And as you go to the polls tomorrow,
Speaker 1: assuming you haven't already voted, having already dropped off your ballot,
Speaker 1: these are some things that you should know now. I
Speaker 1: know that we all feel very passionately about what we
Speaker 1: believe about whoever we want to support, regardless of the race,
Speaker 1: but there are some rules. There are some laws that
Speaker 1: you have to observe or the penalty could be jail's
Speaker 1: finds both. Here's something that you cannot do. You cannot
Speaker 1: campaign for a candidate, and this is within one hundred
Speaker 1: feet of the entrance to a polling area or around
Speaker 1: a person waiting to cast his or her vote. You
Speaker 1: cannot ask a person to vote for or against any
Speaker 1: candidate or ballot measure. Do not display a candidate's name, image,
Speaker 1: or logo. You've probably seen some incidents around the country
Speaker 1: where someone may walk in with a Harris Walls T shirt.
Speaker 1: Can't do that. Walking with a MAGA hat can't do that,
Speaker 1: or a FJB shirt can't do that, So don't be
Speaker 1: surprised if you try to do it and you receive resistance.
Speaker 1: You cannot provide any material or audible information for or
Speaker 1: against any candidate or ballot measure near any polling place,
Speaker 1: voting center, or ballot drop box. This is specifically for California.
Speaker 1: You cannot distribute, display, or wear any clothing which includes hat, shirts, signs,
Speaker 1: button stickers that includes a candidate's name, image, logo, and
Speaker 1: or support or oppose any candidate or ballot measure. Like
Speaker 1: I said, you can't have the MAGA or FJB or
Speaker 1: the Harris Walls paraphernalia at the polls, even though you
Speaker 1: may not engage someone else, you may not have any
Speaker 1: intentions of talking to anyone else. That alone is against
Speaker 1: the law. And you can't obstruct. You cannot block access
Speaker 1: to or loiter near any ballot drop boxes. You can't
Speaker 1: display any information or speak to a voter about that
Speaker 1: voter's eligibility to vote. And you would think a lot
Speaker 1: of this is just good common sense leave people alone.
Speaker 1: But as they say, common sense ain't all that common,
Speaker 1: and there will be someone who will want to flaunt
Speaker 1: the rules or laws and probably will try to put
Speaker 1: it on social media proving that they broke the law.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't do it because, as I said,
Speaker 1: doing any of the stuff that I listed and told
Speaker 1: you about is considered electioneering and it's punishable by fines
Speaker 1: and or imprisonment. And of course with an election like this,
Speaker 1: they're going to be cameras phones everywhere. You will be seen,
Speaker 1: you will be recorded, and it's really not worth it.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to try to influence voters in any
Speaker 1: way shape form. It is illegal. Of course, you can't
Speaker 1: bribe voters to vote for a specific candidate. You cannot
Speaker 1: take photographs or record a voter entering or exiting a polling,
Speaker 1: even though there will be cameras around, You cannot do that.
Speaker 1: As far as a voter, you can't obstruct the ingress,
Speaker 1: egress or parking. You can't challenge a person's right to
Speaker 1: vote or prevent voters from voting. It doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: you think about that person. Well, I don't think that
Speaker 1: person can legally vote. Well, you cannot intervene, and you
Speaker 1: risk going to jail if you try. And let's say,
Speaker 1: all this goes swimmingly, and afterwards you wonder, well, what
Speaker 1: happens to a person's ballot? Well, for the folks who've
Speaker 1: already sent in their ballots, California is one of the
Speaker 1: few states in which they can start opening, processing and
Speaker 1: tabulating votes before the election. In fact, they can do
Speaker 1: it no more than twenty nine days before the election.
Speaker 1: But they can't reveal the totals or any type of
Speaker 1: results to any one, not to the campaigns, not to
Speaker 1: the press, not to you, not to me. So Californi,
Speaker 1: they're counting ballots right now. That's part of the reason
Speaker 1: why when the polls close at eight o'clock and the
Speaker 1: polls will be open tomorrow from seven am to eight pm.
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why they have an instant
Speaker 1: return information they were. They're most likely just telling you
Speaker 1: what the mail in ballot counts were at that moment,
Speaker 1: and you'll get a quicker sense of what's happening in
Speaker 1: California as opposed to different states. Just know the process
Speaker 1: so it doesn't surprise you or they or if you
Speaker 1: wonder how did they count those so fast? Well, they've
Speaker 1: been counting for the past twenty seven days as it
Speaker 1: is twenty eight days.
Speaker 5: Are you telling me you can't yell out or demand
Speaker 5: information on the candidate you choose to vote for inside
Speaker 5: of a polling place. No, that's so interesting because my
Speaker 5: son just turned eighteen, first time voting, he said. He said, Daddy,
Speaker 5: I'm in there, and I was embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I was shocked. I didn't even know what to do.
Speaker 1: There was a woman in there.
Speaker 5: They are screaming, demanding to know how come Trump's name
Speaker 5: wasn't on every name on the ballot?
Speaker 1: Where is Trump? I only want to vote for Trump.
Speaker 1: All these other people are in eligible to be on
Speaker 1: the ballot.
Speaker 5: He said that the people they were trying to calm
Speaker 5: her down, but she kept going on and on.
Speaker 1: You tell me that's illegal. That is illegal. You can't
Speaker 1: any type of influence. Now she has a question or issue,
Speaker 1: she can engage an election worker and ask the question.
Speaker 1: But from the way you describe it, where she's creating
Speaker 1: a scene, yes, that can be interpreted as either intimidation
Speaker 1: or influencing, which you cannot do. That's shocking. Like if
Speaker 1: you went to an election worker and said, hey, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I thought it was just Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris. Why is this? Why is RFK junior?
Speaker 1: Or why is this person or why is this person
Speaker 1: I never heard of? Also, well, that's just stining she
Speaker 1: represents the Green Party or something, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if they could give them that information. But if you
Speaker 1: have a question, yes, you can always ask an election
Speaker 1: worker if you're not clear how it's done, because there's
Speaker 1: some voting boosts which are electronic, and that can be
Speaker 1: kind of confusing if you've never done it before, as
Speaker 1: opposed to the paper balloting that we've all used, if
Speaker 1: you've been a voter for any number of years. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know the laws, and they
Speaker 1: just assume that you can walk in wearing whatever you want,
Speaker 1: saying whatever you want, and do whatever you want and
Speaker 1: may get surprised when they get rightful pushback from the
Speaker 1: election workers because the law is clear you can't do
Speaker 1: any of that. And if you do that expecting that
Speaker 1: there won't be any consequence where you're doing so at
Speaker 1: your own risk. I can't say if you walk into
Speaker 1: a Trump County that there won't be maga hats on.
Speaker 1: I'm saying it's not legal to do and depending on
Speaker 1: where you go, you may or may not receive more pushback.
Speaker 1: But the law is clear you can't do it. Whether
Speaker 1: you get away with it, that's something different. But you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't try to influence, intimidate. You can't ask someone's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't believe that person over there is a legal voter.
Speaker 1: Can't do that, can't say that, don't try it, and
Speaker 1: definitely don't try with me. Don't do it. Just leave
Speaker 1: me the hell alone. Bother Mark Ronner, he likes to
Speaker 1: be bothered, Like, keep me the hell out of this.
Speaker 3: I dropped my ballot off at the box at the library,
Speaker 3: and that's the end of the story.
Speaker 1: I'm done. Look, I always like to do it on
Speaker 1: election day. I like the energy of an actual election
Speaker 1: day to drop off my ballot. Yes, I have mail
Speaker 1: in capabilities, but I always physically drop it off because
Speaker 1: I like to see what's going on on an actual
Speaker 1: election day. It's later with Mo Kelly special pre election
Speaker 1: coverage and also a musical tribute to Quincy Jones, who
Speaker 1: passed away yesterday at the age of ninety one. We're
Speaker 1: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1: Say, we're doing it wrongs.
