WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.359 It's about it's about ready to get interesting in America. 2 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.120 Let me put it like that. This later with mo 3 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.600 Kelly if I am six forty live everywhere on the 4 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:35.719 iHeartRadio app. The countdown is on. In about twenty five hours, 5 00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.479 the polls will close here in California, and by that 6 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.560 time we'll have a better sense of what the House 7 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.840 will look like on the federal level, what the Senate 8 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.880 will look like on a federal level, and we probably 9 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.799 will have zero idea who will be our president at 10 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.640 that time. And if anyone says, well, we should know 11 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.679 on Tuesday night, you just don't understand how the process works. 12 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.640 We have more than eighty million mail in ballots last 13 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.439 I saw that are already in the possession of various states, 14 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.760 and they can't even start counting them yet. I think, 15 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.159 with exception of Florida and a few other states, legally 16 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.719 they cannot start tabulating. Some states they can't even open 17 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.680 the ballots. Some states they can, but they can't for 18 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.959 the most part, count any of those mail in ballots 19 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:35.799 until the polls close in their respective locations. Meaning if 20 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.319 you hear someone say, hey, so and so is leading 21 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.439 and mail in balloting, they are lying they are lying 22 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.760 or wish casting. Let's just say wish casting. There's no 23 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.719 way to know who is leading. Now they can try 24 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.719 to surmise looking at registrations, what counties they're coming from, 25 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.200 historical data, how that person, excuse me, that area might 26 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.920 have voted, and then they'll make some educated guesses. But 27 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.719 there's no way to know. Nobody knows what is going 28 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.759 to happen. Billions of dollars has been spent in advertising. 29 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.599 Nobody knows. And I know you probably look put it 30 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.560 this way, from the messages that you sent me. You said, Hey, 31 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.479 me and all my friends, we're voting for Kamala Harris. 32 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.159 Doesn't mean a damn thing. You and all eight of 33 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:31.039 your friends you know, or even eight relatives. It doesn't matter. 34 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.960 Twenty twenty four, it's a done deal. No it isn't. No, 35 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.039 it isn't. Nobody really knows what's going to happen, not 36 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.599 only tomorrow, but well into Wednesday, I would say even Thursday. 37 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.159 Because the more mail in ballots you have, the longer 38 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.599 the process it's going to take. It doesn't mean that 39 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.520 it's illegitimate. It doesn't mean that someone's cheating. It doesn't 40 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.439 mean that the election is stolen. It just means that 41 00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.840 there's a higher turnout and it's going to take longer 42 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.360 to count the ballots. If you know the process, this 43 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:08.120 will not surprise you in any way. If someone Wink 44 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.560 wink should declare themselves the winner on Tuesday night, just 45 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.879 know that getting out in front of things and getting 46 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.840 ahead of themselves. But I will say this, and we're 47 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.599 gonna be talking just about politics tonight. This is one 48 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.159 of those rare occasions. I'm just doing straight politics the bumpers. 49 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.840 The music will be featuring the rich legacy of Quincy Jones, 50 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.479 either as a songwriter, producer, or a ranger. Be nothing 51 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:39.520 but Quincy Jones music tonight, obviously in light of his 52 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.319 passing yesterday at the age of ninety one. But all 53 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.879 the content in between the bumpers will be just about politics, 54 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.800 local and national. And I will say this, these two 55 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:56.319 presidential candidates could not be more disparate in nature, not 56 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.039 only who they are, but also they're closing arguments. And 57 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.800 I don't understand a lot of things that former President 58 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.719 Trump does. I just don't understand it. It doesn't seem 59 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.360 like he's trying to raise his ceiling of voters. It 60 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.199 doesn't seem like he is reaching out, calling out, trying 61 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.199 to entice voters that he didn't already have to come 62 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.600 in to his tent. It doesn't seem like it. When 63 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.600 I was watching his rallies, and I watch as many 64 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.800 of them as I can, When I was watching his rallies, 65 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.920 it just seemed like he was speaking to the same people. 66 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:32.600 It doesn't seem like he was saying, hey, you know, 67 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.319 come with me, even though you may not have considered 68 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.759 me before. It just seemed like he was talking about 69 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.639 something completely different. And it's an unconventional campaign. He's an 70 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.920 unconventional candidate. He was previously an unconventional president. And if 71 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.519 it turns out that all this works for him, then 72 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.319 it wouldn't be the first time that I was wrong 73 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.879 about something. And you know, kudos to him. It just 74 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.120 seems like he's not giving himself the best chance to win. 75 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.399 When he, for example, when he said that he shouldn't 76 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:10.319 have left the White House recently, that's rather odd thing 77 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:10.800 to say. 78 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.399 We had the best economy ever, We had that wall, 79 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.600 We had everything I built over five hundred miles away. 80 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.839 They didn't even talk about the wall, but we had 81 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.480 the best border. The safest border. I won't pull down 82 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.480 my world's favorite jactus. I don't want to waste a 83 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.519 lot of your time. But my world's favorite shore done 84 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:33.040 by the Border Patrol. It said we had the safest 85 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.959 border in the history of our country. The day that 86 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.439 I left. I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, huh. 87 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.800 If you should lose an election, and he did, you 88 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.279 have to leave. That's just how it works. You don't 89 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.519 get to squat in the White House. You don't just 90 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.079 get to arbitrarily decide. It's like, you know what, I 91 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.720 got stuff to do next week. So I don't feel 92 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.040 like packing. So I think I'm gonna stay a little 93 00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.639 while longer. I did a real good job. The world 94 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:00.360 loved me. 95 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:00.879 You know. 96 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.839 Look at my beautiful border wall, that big, beautiful border wall. 97 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.240 I think I'll stay. No, it doesn't work that. It 98 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.279 doesn't work like that. You don't get to just stay 99 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.480 because you feel like you deserve to stay. I mean, 100 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.360 in other countries they call that a coup if you do. 101 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.199 I shouldn't have left. 102 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.519 I mean honestly, because we did so, we did so well, 103 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.639 We had such a great so now, I mean, every 104 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.519 polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there. It's all 105 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.480 about the lawyers. Everybody's standing at lawyers. Nobody should have that. 106 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.199 You should have a damn ballot and you hand it in. 107 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.519 Do you know that an Arizona where I'm winning by 108 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:37.959 a lot? 109 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.040 I don't know what he means by winning by a 110 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.600 lot because no folks have been tabulated. Maybe he means 111 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.279 leading in the polls. I don't know. I'm not going 112 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.519 to explain what he means because I don't know what 113 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.040 he means in that instance. 114 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.240 Do you know that an Arizona where I'm winning by 115 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.360 a lot, but it takes four hours to fill out 116 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:55.879 the ballot? 117 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.279 Huh? Takes four hours to fill out the ballot. I 118 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.319 don't know what he's referring to. I just don't know. 119 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.000 You know, you can go ahead and try to figure 120 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.959 it out. But there was something else he said that 121 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.160 I took note of. That for me gives me pause, 122 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.000 and it seemed not the best message to send the 123 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.519 two days before an election when you're talking about well, 124 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.240 let me set up the clip. In this clip, he's 125 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:28.040 talking about the bulletproof glass in front of him. How 126 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.759 it's not completely contiguous, it's not completely connected, there are 127 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.480 some gaps in it, and he's explaining in between the gaps, 128 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.480 line of sight and the fake news media. That's just 129 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:40.360 setting up the clip. 130 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.959 I have a piece of glass over here, and I 131 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:52.040 don't have a piece of glass there, and this piece 132 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.720 of glass here, but all we have really over here 133 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:57.680 is the fake news. 134 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:03.160 Uh. 135 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.759 And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through 136 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.800 the fake news. 137 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.639 And I don't mind that so much. I just don't 138 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.399 think that's funny, and I don't think that is something 139 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.319 that's going to bring him more voters. Now. Historically, he's 140 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:27.680 always satured around forty seven percent. That's been his ceiling historically, 141 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.399 and his floor is higher than most candidates. In other words, 142 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.000 his loyal, most faithful supporters won't leave him, so he's 143 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.480 not going to go down. I think it's around thirty 144 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.679 five thirty six percent. It's just locked in, baked in, 145 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.799 not going anywhere. But I don't know if that message 146 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.080 is going to bring more to his base or his 147 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.519 base of support, which he needs to win. I'm just 148 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.759 talking about the analysis of it all. It's a strange 149 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:58.679 closing message when you're talking about you're being okay, if 150 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.440 someone shoots thequoe nquote fake news media. 151 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.440 The fake news, and I don't mind that so much. 152 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:07.559 I do. 153 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.960 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 154 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.320 KFI AM six forty mo Kelly. 155 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.000 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All the music 156 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:24.320 tonight is in remembrance of the Quincy Jones who passed 157 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.120 away tonight, excuse me yesterday at the age of ninety one. 158 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.879 And in between the bumpers, we're talking nothing but politics 159 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.840 as election day is upon us. It's election Eve, and 160 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.399 Twela and I were having a conversation during the break 161 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.879 and I have a feeling that your lives are similar 162 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.000 to ours in disrespect. Have you ever like walked into 163 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.559 the office and there's a group of people and they 164 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.639 act like they want your opinion on politics, but actually 165 00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.000 they just want to give you their opinion on policy. 166 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.320 They may say, hey, tuwala, you know the the elections 167 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.480 coming up, and it's really crazy out there. All these 168 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.240 strange things are happening. I can't believe that they might 169 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.200 elect Kamala Harris. Oh there's the bab. There's the bab. 170 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.879 It's the bate. And how you respond is going to 171 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.080 dictate how the next thirty five minutes are gonna go 172 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.679 in your office, or it could be it'd be like, gosh, 173 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.360 you know this country, I wish they would just get 174 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.480 over itself and just go ahead and elect a woman. 175 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.320 Is there a counselor is there a question in there? 176 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.600 It's because you're because you're sitting at my way. You 177 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.480 want me to respond so you can gauge where I 178 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.879 am on the political spectrum, so you can then launch 179 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.679 in with your opinions. I get it all the time, 180 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.120 and I, if at all possible, I never take the bate, 181 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.919 especially if I'm out in public, if only because sometimes 182 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.679 I'm recognized. Some people know what I may do when 183 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.720 I go to my hangouts and everything, and sometimes this 184 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.799 well intentioned they may want my opinion. Like someone will 185 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.399 ask them like, hey, what do you think about this judge? 186 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.120 What do you think? And I said, I haven't gotten 187 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.799 into that yet. Or they may ask like what do 188 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.559 you think is going to happen? And I say to 189 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.159 them what I say to you, No one knows what 190 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.399 is going to happen. That's why you have former President 191 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.960 Donald Trump going to four states today. If he knew 192 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.639 what was going to happen. Do you think it'd be 193 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:27.200 in four different states. No, do you think Kamala Harris 194 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:33.320 will be spending her whole month in Pennsylvania if she knew. No, 195 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.600 nobody knows. They're just doing all that they can to 196 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.919 control that which they can't control. But I get a 197 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.879 kick out of the folks who try to give you 198 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.240 that little bait out there. It's like, hey, yeah, so 199 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.080 what do you think about the election? I don't think anything. 200 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.080 I know because you just want to tell me what 201 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.480 you think. How do you avoid the bait? Though? The 202 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.759 bait is alway so tasty. Look you look after you've 203 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.240 tasted some nasty bait, then you realize, Okay, you know 204 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.279 it's a trap. It's a trap. And what I will 205 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.080 do is I will hear conversations. People will talk politics 206 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.679 around me, or they'll ask me a direct question, and 207 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:11.080 it's like my response is usually the same. I'm off work. 208 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.480 I don't, you know, don't I don't have anything I do. 209 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.480 That's my job. That's I'm here to have a glass 210 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.840 of wine. I'm not here to talk about Kamala and Donald. 211 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.159 I'm just not. But it's always funny to me, especially 212 00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.399 in an office environment, it's a little bit different when 213 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.240 we're here at CAFI because you know, we're not all 214 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.639 in at the same time. We're not passing each other 215 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.759 in the halls, spending seven and eight hours around each other, 216 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.600 Like I'm not going to cross paths with Gary and 217 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.320 Shannon for the most part, because we're just not here 218 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.559 at the same time. Every once in a while will 219 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.720 pass John Cobelt in the hall depending on when he's 220 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.600 leaving it when I'm getting here, but we're not talking 221 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.960 about this, you know. So this is a very different 222 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.759 work environment. And I think, you know, the typical office 223 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.559 with the water cooler and everything, and I just I 224 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.080 avoid it like the plague, because it's not a three 225 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.159 minute conversation. It's a forty minute conversation with you doing 226 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.000 most of the talking. 227 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:10.159 You know. 228 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:15.120 I have noticed how most interactions with you or Mark, 229 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.200 or even on myself, we always find ourselves talking about 230 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:21.120 other things. Like we're talking to news director Chris Little, 231 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.519 we're not talking about the news. We'll be talking about 232 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.360 you know, going on cruises or a movie. Yeah, like 233 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.879 we talk about everything else but the actual news. 234 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.559 Maybe it's a byproduct. It's up to Mark whether he agrees, 235 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.519 but for me, I know it's a byproduct of I 236 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.240 talk about news enough in my day to day. I'm 237 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.279 dealing with the news with Chris Little. That could kind 238 00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:48.080 of thing that's not a conversation starter, not for me, 239 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.440 you know, other than hey, do you know of this 240 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.200 which is going on right now? It may impact your show, 241 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.399 But it's not like we're going to sit around and 242 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.679 just talk about Wow, that metro bus meeting with something else. No, 243 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.879 a conversation start, not at all, Not at all. We'll 244 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.000 talk about maybe if he's writing metro link and if 245 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.679 he's had any type of issues. But I don't talk 246 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.399 to I don't talk about the news just about anybody. 247 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.759 I mean, I may talk about it on social media, 248 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.200 but for interpersonal relationships, no, And it's not like you 249 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.720 shouldn't talk politics in the office. It's like, no, it's 250 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:24.320 just not. It's not interesting to me to have a 251 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:29.879 conversation with someone about ish I do professionally. It just isn't. 252 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.879 I would think with you you probably would receive that more, 253 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:39.480 especially now more than most because people want your opinions 254 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.039 what you literally do day in day out, So it's 255 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.480 like you know, whether it be here, whether it be 256 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.879 on one of the news networks. That is what you do, 257 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.279 So I wonder is it curiosity? 258 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.360 No, if someone recognizes me from spectrum, they most definitely 259 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.559 want to talk about politics. Okay, that's what they want 260 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.399 to talk about, just because that's their only reference point. 261 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.799 And usually I'm talking about politics. It's on spectrums that 262 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.759 they say, so what did you mean when you said? 263 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.159 Or they'll misquote me and allege that I said something 264 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.519 that I know I didn't say. It's how is it 265 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.840 you think that da da da da da? I never 266 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.360 said that. Look, I'm not responsible for defending arguments I 267 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.960 did not make. I'm not responsible for trying to argue 268 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.360 what you wish I said or believed. And I had 269 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.759 a post on social media today on my personal Facebook, 270 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.600 or I'm saying like, not a day goes by in 271 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.159 which people try to tell me what I believe and 272 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.919 who I support. Why not a day goes by someone 273 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.320 is always trying to tell me, Oh, you're just a 274 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.759 bleeding heart liberal stuck on that democratic. No, they say 275 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:47.440 democrat plantation, Oh that is always a good one. Yeah, yeah, 276 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.960 Oh do you say that to non black people or 277 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.440 only black people? Because when you say plantation, I'm thinking 278 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.600 like slavery iconography. So you know, I'm thinking like you're 279 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.840 trying to say something to me specifically. I know I 280 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.000 sound like Bill Clinton, but I did not have sex 281 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.919 with that woman on that plantation. Right. 282 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.720 It's rough when you got to play the plantation card, 283 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.440 isn't it. I couldn't even believe when I moved here 284 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.360 and there was a place called soup Plantation, It's like, 285 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.919 what the hell's going on? It still exists? Is there 286 00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:18.879 another place called indentured sandwich? 287 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:27.360 Tude? What's plantation? Okay, well, well put it this way. Look, 288 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.679 I'm not going to say it, but you can say it. 289 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.399 There's this buffet place that used to be in Torrents 290 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:37.399 called blank Barrel. Oh, cracker Barrel. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's 291 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.000 another weird. Yeah, it's like, it's a weird it's a 292 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.240 weird put its way, it doesn't It doesn't matter what 293 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.960 you meant when you name the restaurant. It's still a 294 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.840 strange name for a restaurant, and it's going to get misconstrued. 295 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.399 It's going to be at the office. No, no, where 296 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.360 are you going to lunch today? 297 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:53.679 Uh? 298 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.080 Red Lobster? I don't care if they're closed. I'm not 299 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.000 going to the other places I've refuse. No, how did 300 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.600 I get here? Oh yeah, it's just the stuff that 301 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.440 people say to me is really, really weird. It's like 302 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.119 you thought you were going to get a positive response 303 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.440 out of me, You thought you're going to get any 304 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.440 response out of me. And I say all that to 305 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:16.039 say the election has made people dumb, I mean seriously idiotic, 306 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.000 the things that they say, how they approach the subject matter, 307 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.680 and how they engage other people. I cannot wait for 308 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.000 this election to be over. And it's not going to 309 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.240 be over tomorrow, Like I said last segment, it's not 310 00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.680 going to be over to probably Wednesday Thursday. In terms 311 00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.960 of president now we'll know who's controlling the Senate and 312 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.039 that'll probably be the Republicans. Well, mo, I thought you 313 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.799 said you couldn't predict the future. No, but I know 314 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:40.519 basic math, and let me just run this down for 315 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:43.680 you real quick. The Democrats are defending more seats in 316 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:46.720 the Senate than the Republicans, and if you're defending a seat, 317 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.599 you cannot add to your total. It's a virtual tie 318 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.240 in the Senate. So the Democrats are mostly trying to 319 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.599 protect what they already have. They won't really be able 320 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.680 to extend or increase their margin in the Senate, which 321 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.200 means they're more likely to lose seats. Basic math, I 322 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.319 know it's something pretty special. They're more likely to lose seats, 323 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.200 which means they're more likely to lose control of the 324 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.319 Senate as opposed to the House, where you have four 325 00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:18.960 hundred and thirty five races all tomorrow and that can 326 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.319 go either way, but you can go by the general 327 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.200 mood of the country, where there's more data to suggest 328 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.519 that the Democrats will probably not definitely, but probably take 329 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.400 the House and we'll still have divided government regardless of 330 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.720 who becomes president. But we won't know who's president tomorrow night. 331 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.119 And if you're expecting that, you're going to be real upset, 332 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.599 and it will be your own fault, because I'm letting 333 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.559 you know right now, unless it's an absolute blowout, they're 334 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:45.759 not gonna call it tomorrow night. 335 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.839 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 336 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.680 KFI AM six forty. 337 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.519 KFI mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 338 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:59.960 As we're talking about all things pre election, and one 339 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.160 of the measures which I was focusing in on just 340 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.680 me personally, but also if you listen to later with Mokel, 341 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:10.240 we've talked a lot about the County of Los Angeles, 342 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.000 how it's governed, the role of the Elle County Supervisors, 343 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.720 the limitations of the position, and how much responsibility each 344 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.559 supervisor has. Early five LA County Supervisors, and I refer 345 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.519 to them in terms ofm as like many mayors, because 346 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.279 they're responsible for about two million people each one of them. 347 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.799 And you can imagine how unwieldy that could be when 348 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.079 you're asking one person to handle the services which are 349 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:44.200 are required and necessary for two million people across municipal boundaries. 350 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.640 And so there was a movement afoot to increase the 351 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.720 number of supervisors, maybe from five to seven or even 352 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.319 when talking about Measure G to nine members. But there's 353 00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.960 been a split amongst the LA County Board of Supervisors 354 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.519 as far as supporting it. The measure as it reads 355 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.279 would increase the board from five to nine, and I 356 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.359 think most people would agree with that, but not everyone 357 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.799 is on board with the other provision, where it would 358 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:17.200 have like a CEO and it will be almost like 359 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.920 a mayor of the county and what types of powers 360 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.799 that mayor would have, and whether the other supervisors would 361 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:31.359 be subordinate to that LA County supervisor mayor for lack 362 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.160 of a better word. I don't know what they would 363 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.000 call the position, but it would be an elected official. 364 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.359 I came across this really good conversation led by Conan 365 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.079 Nolan of NBC love him, and he was talking to 366 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.119 some of the LA County Supervisors about this, and you 367 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.640 can get a good sense of some of the issues 368 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.880 and some of the positives around Measure G. 369 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.720 On the Battle of the Los Angeles County is Measured G, 370 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.960 which would dramatically change governance of the nation's most popular 371 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.759 county from five members of the Board of Supervisors, expanding 372 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.559 it to nine and for the first time, allowing for 373 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.920 the county wide election of the chief executive officer, sort 374 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.599 of a mayor of the county. What I say earlier, 375 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:16.000 we had on the two supervisors who are supporting this measure, 376 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.920 In fact, it was their idea that would be Janis 377 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.359 Hahn and Lindsay Horvov. 378 00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.599 Lizzy Horbath, you've heard on this show a number of times. 379 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.319 Now we're hearing from two LA County supervisors who oppose 380 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.519 the measure, Holly Mitchell, as well as LA County Supervisor 381 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:31.599 Catherine Barker. 382 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.079 And you've heard Holly Mitchell and Catherine Barker on this show. 383 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.599 So this is something which speaks to me and is 384 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.920 very important, I think, to the life of most Angelinos 385 00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.960 in La County. 386 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.759 They both join us remotely thanks to both of you. 387 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.400 So listen. 388 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.519 Currently, the Board of Supervisors, you each represent two million people. 389 00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:54.400 From what I understand, it hasn't changed since nearly statehood 390 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:58.119 the charter. So the argument is made that it is 391 00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:03.000 time to expand the board so that there's greater representation. 392 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.920 Supervisor Mitchell, why is that not the case? 393 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.440 Actually, I think it's a great idea, Conan, which is 394 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.079 why I brought forward a motion a year ago February 395 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.480 twenty twenty three to study overall governance updates for the 396 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.680 county as a whole, to expand the board to consider 397 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.200 a number of options that I think would be appropriate 398 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.720 for the Board to take into consideration. So I think 399 00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:27.839 that's a great idea. I think the challenge with this 400 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.880 measure is it does much more. 401 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.640
