WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.359 KFI AM six forty. 3 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:15.519 It's moo Kelly if I am six forty. We're live 4 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.480 everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And we are a little 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.839 more than an hour in to the curfew which was 6 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.079 announced earlier this evening by LA Mayor Karen Bass. At 7 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:31.320 this point, there's not much to report as far as 8 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.960 violations of the curfew. We have not heard anything. Now 9 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.280 there is some video that we've seen. We'll get Daniel 10 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:43.119 to put it, pull it up of LAPD downtown. They 11 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.920 have affected some arrests. You could see that they have 12 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.119 people against the wall arrest and we can't can't know 13 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.600 necessarily whether it's for a curfew violation in and of itself, 14 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.759 or was it some act of vandalism and curfew violation. 15 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.640 But for the most part, LAPD seems to be in 16 00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.280 a somewhat relaxed posture. It's not like they are being 17 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.159 confronted by any wall of protesters. At this point, there's 18 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.959 not a lot of activity going on downtown, and I 19 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.040 don't know of any other activity around southern California as 20 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.480 far as other protests which may be going on and 21 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.640 that's a good thing. I'm always hoping for the best. 22 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.560 I don't want any type of violence. I don't want 23 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.640 any type of vandalism. I don't want any type of looting. 24 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.079 We just had a good half hour discussion about what 25 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:37.120 effective protests are and the strategy which should be employed 26 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.560 for a particular goal. More times than not, you don't 27 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.439 see that enacted. You don't see that strategy employed, and 28 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.599 so we just have what I call these aimless acts 29 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.799 of exercise where they're not actually protesting, they're not actually marching, 30 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.439 they're just kind of walking aimlessly with no specific location 31 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.120 destination in mind. But if you missed the message from 32 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.879 or at least a portion of the message announcing the curfew, 33 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.280 I think it's good to play it again. So if 34 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.400 you're just tuning in you didn't hear it earlier when 35 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.240 Mayor Bass was speaking during the Tim Conway Junior Show. 36 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.039 He didn't hear LAPD chief Jim McDonald speaking during the 37 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.680 Tim Conway Junior Show. Here was their initial update, just 38 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.080 a portion of it, so you know that the curfew 39 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.560 was announced, its parameters and boundaries, and also the expectations 40 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.120 of anyone who expects to go anywhere near downtown. 41 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:42.319 Many businesses have now been affected by our vandalized Last night, 42 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.639 there were twenty three businesses that were looted, and I 43 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.280 think that if you drive through downtown LA, the graffiti 44 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.919 is everywhere and has caused significant damages to businesses and 45 00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.360 a number of properties. So my message to you is 46 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.080 if you do not live or work in downtown LA, 47 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:07.520 avoid the area. Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break 48 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.080 the curfew and you will be prosecuted. 49 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.599 Hundreds of officers. 50 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.680 From police and sheriff departments from across the region and 51 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:21.039 state are working alongside LAPD through a unified command structure. 52 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.159 The curfew will be an advice tonight from eight pm 53 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.639 until six am. I want to thank the Governor for 54 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.400 his partnership, and especially thank our state and local leaders 55 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.240 and deputies officers and deputies who are working tirelessly. 56 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:38.759 So curfew guidance again. 57 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.479 It will begin at eight pm tonight and go until 58 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.759 six am tomorrow. I will consult with elected leaders in 59 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.560 law enforcement officials tomorrow on the continuation of the curfew, 60 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.800 but we certainly expect for it to last for several days. 61 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.520 The curfew will be the curfew area will be between 62 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.560 the five Freeway and to the one and the ten 63 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.240 Freeway to where the one, ten Freeway and five Freeway merge. 64 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.759 You look and look at the map and you can 65 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.560 see that the city of Los Angeles is a massive 66 00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.159 area five hundred and two square miles. The area of 67 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.839 downtown where the curfew will take place is one square mile. 68 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.600 I think it is important to point this out, not 69 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.480 to minimize the vandalism and violence that has taken place there. 70 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.160 It has been significant, but it is extremely important to 71 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.319 know that what is happening in this one square mile 72 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.600 is not affecting the city. Some of the imagery of 73 00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.920 the protests and the violence gives the appearance as though 74 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.720 this is a city wide crisis, and it is not so. 75 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.839 Who everyone must abide by this curfew. Limited exceptions will 76 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.519 apply for residents, people traveling to and from work, and 77 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.800 credentialed media representatives. 78 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.360 That was Mayor Bath a portion of her remarks. If 79 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.319 you're looking at our YouTube show, you can see Mayor 80 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.240 Bass as she was speaking earlier today, but there was 81 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.079 also remarks right after that by LAPD chief Jim McDonald. 82 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.720 And it's important that we play this so you know 83 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:19.120 exactly what are the expectations surrounding the curfew. Mayor Bass 84 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.079 gave you some of the boundaries and the limits, but 85 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:27.079 I think Jim McDonald better contextualized expectations of you as 86 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.839 a resident. Maybe if you live in that area, or 87 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.639 if you happen to be traveling through that area, or 88 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.399 if you're even if you were to be thinking of 89 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.160 just going down to that area to protest or to 90 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.920 hang out, to lookie lou to get content for social media, 91 00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:46.040 don't do it. 92 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.319 As a mayor stated a curfew for the impacted area 93 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.319 shown here, we'll go into effect tonight, and I want 94 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.680 to be absolutely clear that if you win, if you're 95 00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.000 within that designated curfew zone between the hours of eight 96 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.040 pm and six am and are not exempt under the order, 97 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.319 you're going to be subject to arrest. The curfew boundaries 98 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.480 of as follows from the five Freeway to the one 99 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.600 ten Freeway and from the ten Freeway to the point 100 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.360 where the one to ten and the five merge. Easier 101 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.920 to look at it on that map for description. The 102 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.959 curfew is necessary, a necessary measure to protect lives and 103 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.839 safeguard property following several consecutive days of growing unrest throughout 104 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.079 the city. Since Saturday, we've seen a concerning escalation and 105 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:34.000 unlawful and dangerous behavior. On Saturday, LAPD officers made twenty 106 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.199 seven arrests on summer On Sunday, that number rose to forty. 107 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.800 By Monday, arrests totaled one hundred and fourteen, and today 108 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.759 alone we've made one hundred and ninety seven arrests. Some 109 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.160 the recent days, it's been as a part of a 110 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.639 unified command with our partner agencies who've responded through Mutual 111 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.560 Aid Compact and been very very helpful to us, and 112 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.399 we're very thankful for that participation. Of those I mentioned 113 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.319 for today, one hundred and thirty arrested near Commercial and Alameda. 114 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.040 An additional sixty seven were taken into custody after unlawfully 115 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.079 occupying the one oh one freeway near Commercial Street. 116 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.720 Our CHP partners were instrumental in that. 117 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.519 So again, let me be clear that this behavior blocking freeways, 118 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.319 city streets, and on ramps, refusing to comply with lawful 119 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.319 dispersal orders, and interfering with public safety operations is dangerous, unlawful, 120 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.279 and won't be tolerated if you are in the curfew 121 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.519 zone during the restricted hours without that legal exemption, you 122 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.639 will be arrested. If you an assault an officer in 123 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.120 any fashion, you will be arrested. We're operating under a 124 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.879 unified command with our partners at the Los Angeles City 125 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.360 Fire Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the California 126 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.040 Highway Patrol. We're fully coordinated and our shared mission is 127 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.519 clear to restore peace and ensure the safety of everyone 128 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:57.720 in our city. We previously mobilized part of our department 129 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.639 at LAPD while keeping our ability to be able to 130 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.959 provide the services that our community deserves going. We're going 131 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.959 to be adding to that deployment with additional internal LAPD 132 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.639 resources in the days ahead. The curfew does not apply 133 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:19.480 to residence within the designated area, individuals experiencing homelessness, credentialed media, 134 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.439 or public safety and emergency personnel. To be clear, again, 135 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.639 that's not about silencing voices or suppressing lawful protest. When 136 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:32.120 that expression crosses into unlawful conduct, when lives are put 137 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.919 at risk, and when our city safety is compromised, we 138 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.480 must act, and we will act. We ridge all Angelinos 139 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.799 to cooperate with these public safety measures. Our shared goal 140 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.639 is to protect our communities and return to a state 141 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:46.559 of calm and safety for everyone. 142 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.440 Thank you. Let me check in with Mark Ronner before 143 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.720 we go to the actual news break. Mark, we didn't 144 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.279 have a chance to really talk all that much this evening. 145 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.720 Well, there's been a lot going on, and I have 146 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.919 been looking at footage of Faylanx's of National Guard and 147 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.879 cops in riot gear being met with absolutely nobody. So 148 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:08.600 it's good that we're keeping this in perspective. Somebody else 149 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.039 pointed out that the core area of protest is roughly 150 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.000 three to six blocks in a city of more than 151 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.120 eighteen million people. So if you are seeing things on 152 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.360 social media suggesting the whole city's on fire or anything 153 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.440 like that, that is absolutely false. 154 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:28.279 And also for a person who doesn't live here, oftentimes 155 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.799 people will mistake Los Angeles City for Los Angeles County. 156 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.759 Los Angeles County has about eight million people and a 157 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.600 lot of cities, actual cities within it, of course, in 158 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:42.320 unincorporated areas. La City has about three million people, And 159 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.120 for a person who doesn't understand the topography out here, 160 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.279 they're not the same. In other words, what happened in 161 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.759 Santa Anna, that's Orange County. Maybe to a person who 162 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.000 lives in New York, it's all La to him or her, 163 00:09:55.080 --> 00:10:00.080 but it's definitely not LA And we'll have other pockets 164 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.320 of protests which are not in LA City, but they're 165 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:09.399 in LA County, like Paramount, and we saw those protests. 166 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.519 And for a person who doesn't quite understand how this 167 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:17.279 place is all connected, you know it's not LA City. Now. 168 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.639 What's happening downtown most definitely LA City, And what's not 169 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.960 happening right now downtown is LA City, absolutely nothing. We 170 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.720 have dozens and dozens of what I think are LAPD 171 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:36.399 officers standing waiting hopefully nothing will happen. And I say 172 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.480 that in a very positive way because I don't want 173 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.440 anything to jump off downtown. But I can confidently say, 174 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.639 from what we've seen, what has been reported, what we 175 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.879 know in our own investigations here at KFIM six forty 176 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.360 twenty four hour newsroom, there's nothing of note happening downtown. 177 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.519 And we'll see if that stays for the at least 178 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.200 for the rest of the evening. Mark Roner will be 179 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.960 with you until midnight. I will be with you until 180 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.519 ten pm. Stay till midnight. No, it's okay. I don't 181 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.440 like you that. No, no, we'll be here together. It'll be fun. No no, no, no, no, no. 182 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.960 My wife is listening right now. She probably you think 183 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.720 she wants you home. No, no, no, no, I don't think that. 184 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.080 I think she wants me, well put this away. She 185 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.279 probably wants me to do the dishes. Oh yeah, and 186 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.120 you know honeydew stuff. I don't think she wants me 187 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.759 at home for me, honey dude. She wants me to 188 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.360 do stuff which accommodates her. And I'm usually the one 189 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.360 who does the dishes because when I come in, whatever 190 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.360 dishes are in the sink, that's my responsibility. Okay, go 191 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.559 ahead and flee like a dirty coward. Yeah, but look, 192 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.960 I'm not going to do them at one in the morning. 193 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.559 If I leave here at midnight, what's the point. What's 194 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.399 in it for me? It's all about me, Mark, you're 195 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.080 the one who brought that up. What's in it for me? 196 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:49.399 Well, the camaraderie of working together during breaking news, of course, yeah, 197 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.639 we already did that during the fires. Okay, time for 198 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.080 a break. 199 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.320 You're listening too. Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from 200 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.159 KFI AM six forty. 201 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:01.759 I am six forty O'Kelly here. We're live everywhere on 202 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.200 YouTube and the iHeartRadio app. And we said when all 203 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.960 of this started days ago that what you see here 204 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:14.840 in Los Angeles, as in the city from ice raids 205 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.159 and tactics employed, would be also used around the country. 206 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.480 We said that the protests in response to that, what 207 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.120 you see and have seen here in LA you would 208 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:32.399 also see around the country. As it stands, we're there now. 209 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.320 It doesn't mean that the protests and I'm using that 210 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.519 word in a general sense. I can't get into what 211 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:42.480 each city is doing individually. And I'm not saying this 212 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.480 is a coordinated effort per se, because you know, Tawala 213 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.399 will say like it's a leaderless movement for the for 214 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.480 the most part. You know, it's not like there's a 215 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.759 unifying voice or message being expressed. But we do know 216 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.960 that anti ice protests have now begun all around the country, 217 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:09.480 including the cities of San Francisco, New York, Washington, d C, Milwaukee, Dallas, Chicago, 218 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.000 and Atlanta. I'm sure on varying levels. Can't speak to 219 00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.240 the number of protesters or where it's whether it's focused 220 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.399 to just one borough in New York or one portion 221 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.159 of the city in Atlanta, or you know, or one 222 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.960 area of Dallas, or there are multiple areas. But now 223 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.639 we are getting reports that there are similar anti ICE 224 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.200 protests in all these cities. Now all those cities are 225 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.120 obviously later in the evening that here, with the exception 226 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.679 of San Francisco in the same time zone tomorrow will 227 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.799 give us a better sense of whether these protests are 228 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.840 just more numerous in cities or whether they're actually growing 229 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.080 in each of the cities. And also more cities are 230 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:58.919 coming to these protests or this sentiment. These are the 231 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.879 things that we've been looking out for and watching and 232 00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.000 don't know what's going to happen in each city. Each 233 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.639 city is very different. If you know anything about Atlanta, 234 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.080 it's a different social ethic than Los Angeles, if you 235 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.320 know anything about Washington, DC. Very different, And we don't 236 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:22.159 know how what happens in one city will either inspire 237 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:28.360 other cities to alter protests. We don't know whether ICE 238 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:32.440 will intensify its efforts because of the protest. You know, 239 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.039 is at the actions of ICE which are spurring on 240 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.679 the protest or the protests at this point are they 241 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.080 spurring on ICE? Because we do know that if violence 242 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.519 should break out, that is a favorable optic for the 243 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.600 Trump administration to do more of what they want to 244 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:49.600 do and have planned to do. 245 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.639 But that right there, the points you just made, are 246 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:58.360 you protesting ICE as a government body and just an 247 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.039 organization in general in the other states and other cities, 248 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:06.200 because ICE has as of yet not to send it 249 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.360 anywhere else but Los Angeles. So if you are in Chicago, 250 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.919 if you're in Watchet, if you're in any oh there 251 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:17.840 are protests going on in Omaha, Nebraska, Okay, got you. 252 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.519 But but but is ICE there actually rounding people up 253 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.759 and arresting them. And that's something that I'm like, I 254 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:31.000 don't know if you're calling ICE to yours area and 255 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.919 calling attention to yourselves. 256 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.879 Or what right? Because if it's the goal of the 257 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.480 Trump administration, I say if, because I don't I can't 258 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.679 get my mind into the Trump administration. But if it's 259 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.840 the goal of the Trump administration to escalate these protests 260 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:49.159 or foment violence, then if I'm the Trump administration and 261 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.360 I see a large protest and let's say Atlanta or 262 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.759 New Orleans, then I'm going to send ICE to those 263 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.679 cities to further strow up some stuff, and if there's violence, 264 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.200 then I'll send in a National Guard, and then I'll 265 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.559 send in the Marines and so forth. It's kind of 266 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.879 like rent and repeat for the cities. And we know 267 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.559 that what was happening and has been happening in LA 268 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.360 is a testing ground for other cities, not only for 269 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.639 the Trump administration, but also for mayors. Don't think for 270 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.279 a moment that all these mayors and governors of these 271 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.960 different cities and states where there are protests, they're not 272 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.159 looking at Los Angeles. They're not in direct contact with 273 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.679 mayor baths as far as what should we be on 274 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.279 the lookout for, what type of tactics are being employed? 275 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.159 You know, are they going to churches? Are are they 276 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:43.480 going to schools? What type of tactics are they using 277 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.559 to get into these semi public spaces. Because we had 278 00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.679 talked about ICE agents do not need a warrant to 279 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:56.559 arrest people or detain people in public spaces. And a 280 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.840 school is considered a public space, a church in the 281 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.879 like the communal areas of a church is considered a 282 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.640 public space. Obviously, a home depot, parking lot is considered 283 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.839 a public space. That's why I'm quite sure Council of Mayors. 284 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.200 All these mayors are in contact with each other, even 285 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.759 though Mayor Bass hasn't said it. Look, if you're worried 286 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.000 about ICE coming to your city, who's the first person 287 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.319 you want to call? Mayor Bass? You're gonna call her 288 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.480 office and see what they are seeing, what they are experiencing. 289 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.880 Like for example, we know that ICE is going to 290 00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:31.839 elementary schools. Elementary schools, yep. That would be important for 291 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.400 another city to know, in the event that they should 292 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.680 show up where Miami, in the event that they should 293 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:43.880 show up where Detroit arib American population, in the event 294 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.200 that they should show up in any community where there 295 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.440 is a high influx of foreign individuals. I can't even 296 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.799 say justice Spanix. I mean it's more than that. You know, 297 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.240 we could have a situation where they go back to 298 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.880 Ohio and you know, they target the Haitian population. We 299 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:02.960 talked about that during the presidential election. So this is 300 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.880 now just coming into focus. As far as the national 301 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.559 implications of what has been happening here in Los Angeles, 302 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.759 this story is now just getting sted. It started beyond 303 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.480 what you and I are seeing in our city right here. 304 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.039 This is going to play out all around the country 305 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:22.359 and it's already started. 306 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.319 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 307 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:27.720 KFI AM six. 308 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:35.599 Forty KFI mo Kelly Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 309 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.440 Try a little experiment. I want you to imagine for 310 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.640 a moment that you did not turn on the TV 311 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:50.680 for the past four days. How aware of this unrest 312 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:57.319 and protest would you be? How aware? I remember during 313 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:01.519 the nineteen ninety two Roddy King riots. You could see 314 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:06.599 the flames, you could see it light up the sky. 315 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.400 You could see well put its way. I lived in 316 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:11.720 the LA area, all right, so I'm a little closer 317 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:16.160 than most, but you could see law enforcement and the 318 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.599 National Guard all up and down the LA Corridor. You 319 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:26.319 didn't need TV, okay, because people were on their roofs 320 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.640 trying to protect their houses and businesses, and you could 321 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.559 see the businesses light up the sky when they're being 322 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.440 burned down. There was no question about what was going 323 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:43.480 on if you weren't watching the TV in LA for 324 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:47.720 the past four or five days, unless you actually happened 325 00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:51.480 upon you know, downtown, or you were on the one 326 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.279 oh one when they were disrupting and blocking the freeway. 327 00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:59.119 I don't know how many people would even know what 328 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.160 was going on. I mean that sincerely, because you had 329 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:09.640 last night the La Sparks game downtown Crypto dot Com 330 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.920 walking distance from the protest, and they were protests. There 331 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:18.359 was no real you know, rioting air quotes last night. 332 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:20.960 Was there looting? Was their lawlessness? Yes, but that's not 333 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:27.039 the same thing. There was the Bet Awards downtown at 334 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:31.039 the Convention Center, walking distance from everything that was going on. 335 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.240 It was last night, the first night you had a 336 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:42.000 soccer match at Bemo Stadium five miles from downtown. You 337 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:47.640 had the Pride Parade a couple of miles from downtown. 338 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.119 You know, this is a very specific area, or has 339 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.880 been heretofore, has been a very very specific area within downtown. 340 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.319 And if you are just watching it on TV, it's 341 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.079 like most of the city. You think it's like, oh 342 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.119 my gosh, it's you know, it's taking the LA's and 343 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.880 chaos and Vernie. No, it is that. I am seven 344 00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:14.000 miles from downtown. I promise you they're days and I 345 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.680 drive through downtown every single day. In fact, Twala, you 346 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.359 were nice stuff to let me know, Hey, don't get 347 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.799 on the one on one. 348 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.240 But it's not don't come in, it's just go around 349 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.039 ta take the other way around. 350 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.359 That was not the case in ninety two. That was 351 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:31.079 it was a city wide curfew. 352 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:35.880 You know, it's different, especially because now you have social 353 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:43.279 media fanning these unnecessary flames. I remember being in Pasadena 354 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:49.559 when the Rodney King verdict riots hit and it was 355 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.160 within I believe within a day that it spread all 356 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.160 the way to Pasadena with the curfew alone, it was. 357 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.920 It was massive. It was city wide, and it's spread 358 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.400 like wildfire. There were out to Dinas year as there's 359 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.960 LAPD go home, go home curfew. We had cop cars 360 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:12.000 going down street. There is a curfew in effect, go home. 361 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.039 Beyond the borders of Las Angles, yond on the borders 362 00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.319 of Los Angeles. Yes, it's interesting because you know, I 363 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.079 love to trade with people on social media. Some are 364 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.200 good natured, some are in good faith, and a lot 365 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:25.720 of people are just trolls, and a lot of people 366 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.160 are in bad faith. But when I had someone today 367 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.240 who was trying to argue with me about the state 368 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:35.680 of la from fricking Arizona, It's like, get the hell 369 00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.920 out my face. I could open my door and the 370 00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.039 moment I step outside, I'm in the city of la 371 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.839 I can get in my car and drive about maybe 372 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.759 ten minutes with no traffic to downtown via surface streets 373 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.119 and drive right through everything which is going on. It's 374 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.279 weird how people who were not in any way connected 375 00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:59.079 to this. That's why I said, like, imagine, you know, 376 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:04.119 turning off your TV, how basically everyone has gone about 377 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.759 their lives. You know, there hadn't been the types of 378 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:14.079 disruptions the Dodger celebration after the winning the World Series 379 00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.200 in both twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, or the 380 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.559 Lakers when they won the championship in twenty twenty those 381 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.960 were more violent comparatively speaking. Comparatively speaking, I mean, if 382 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.240 you want to look it up for yourself, the facts 383 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.519 are what the facts are. And you know, we didn't 384 00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:35.599 bring in the National Guard for the Lakers or the Dodgers. 385 00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:39.960 We didn't what happened in Philadelphia after the Super Bowl, 386 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:43.839 didn't bring in the national Guard. So we can have 387 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.400 a conversation, or we can have an honest conversation, you know, 388 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.599 but not everyone is interested in an honest conversation. And 389 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.599 also twelve, let me say thank you for getting the 390 00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:55.480 heads up that the one oh one was being shut 391 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.240 down because I was thinking about taking the one on 392 00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.319 one because it was so bad on the one ten 393 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.400 and on the five when I didn't know that, people 394 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.240 were trying to get to the five because they didn't 395 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.519 want to be on the one on one. Oh yeah, 396 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.519 because forgot about that detour. Yeah yeah, people were getting 397 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.160 on the two freeway if you know how it's all 398 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:16.119 laid out, you know, going from just between the one 399 00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:19.319 oh one and the five. So it kind of messed 400 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.039 up everything. It was a kind of a cascading effect. 401 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.480
