Speaker 1: Six forty yes later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. I tell you, rainy days and
Speaker 1: Mondays always get me down. Something about this particular Monday.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit slower than usual. I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit more sluggish. I'm a little bit more antsy. Some
Speaker 1: Mondays are more difficult than others. I hope you had
Speaker 1: a great weekend. I had a great weekend. It was full,
Speaker 1: though it felt like I didn't have a weekend. I
Speaker 1: was doing something all day each day of the weekend.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad to be back here with you. So
Speaker 1: much to talk about given the events of the past
Speaker 1: two three days. You know that violent mind which assaulted
Speaker 1: the seven eleven clerk. They've been showing that video on
Speaker 1: loop all day long. They ransacked that seven eleven. Well,
Speaker 1: I have some thoughts about that, and I think I've
Speaker 1: figured it out as to why seven eleven not AMPM,
Speaker 1: not Circle K, not Joe's Convenience Store. Why seven eleven.
Speaker 1: I'll give you those thoughts next segment. And we have
Speaker 1: a list of the cities with the worst drivers in
Speaker 1: the United States. Mark Ronner is going to be listening
Speaker 1: intently because these are the cities for him to avoid
Speaker 1: if he does not want to give people the double
Speaker 1: bird or even the single bird.
Speaker 2: I only do it when it's an absolute necessity and
Speaker 2: it's a public service and a courtesy.
Speaker 1: I do not doubt you at all. But if we're
Speaker 1: doing the list, you know it's connected to southern California
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way. And of course we all know
Speaker 1: that there is a presidential election coming up, but that's
Speaker 1: not the only election that people are talking about. And
Speaker 1: if you're like me, hopefully you're not, but if you're
Speaker 1: like me, you're getting campaign calls, these robo calls, these
Speaker 1: text messages, emails every single day. I'm talking about from
Speaker 1: both parties. They just somehow figured out how to find me,
Speaker 1: and they probably found you as well, and you just
Speaker 1: get bombarded with all these messages. Well, the question is,
Speaker 1: can you stop at least the phone calls and texts.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that before the hour's up. And we
Speaker 1: have a pair of Circus Vargas tickets to give away
Speaker 1: for October eighteenth at the Delamo Fashion Center. So we've
Speaker 1: got a pair of Circus Vargus tickets for October eighteenth,
Speaker 1: that's coming up soon at Delamo Fashion Center. They could
Speaker 1: be yours, but you're going to have to listen in
Speaker 1: as to when we're going to give them away. So, Stephan,
Speaker 1: I didn't getting to get a chance to say hello
Speaker 1: to you this evening. How you doing, brother?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: Hear you, sir? I'm doing all right. Did you drive
Speaker 1: for anyone this weekend? No? Not this weekend. I had
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff take care with the pops. But yeah,
Speaker 1: otherwise it's pretty relaxing. Okay, what about you, Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2: You don't even want to know the depths of nerdism
Speaker 2: I sunk to this weekend. But I'll just give it
Speaker 2: teeny tiny little adam of it. You know. I'm a
Speaker 2: James Bond fan, love the old ones. There were some
Speaker 2: commentaries on Criterion collection editions of the first three James
Speaker 2: Bond movies that were banned in the early nineties.
Speaker 1: I found them, Did you pay for Him? I found them?
Speaker 2: I found okay, and I also found like a summary
Speaker 2: of the best dirtiest bits from him. They were banned because,
Speaker 2: like Kubby Broccoli, who you recall is the hauncho behind
Speaker 2: those earlier Bond movies, he was offended by them, and
Speaker 2: there was some kind of salty language and some insults
Speaker 2: and some unflattering remarks made about assorted people in the
Speaker 2: cast and crew, very entertaining.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, and what about you, twall? What
Speaker 1: did you get into? I did not do much. There's
Speaker 1: this g I.
Speaker 3: Joe comic relaunch coming in November, and it looks very,
Speaker 3: very exciting. So I went around to a bunch of
Speaker 3: different comic shops to get a hold of some of
Speaker 3: the prequel series from four of the main characters in
Speaker 3: the Giagro commic. They have like prequel series that are
Speaker 3: coming before this major relaunch. I just went around to
Speaker 3: a bunch of shops to stock up. All right, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 3: my weekend was just full. It was just full.
Speaker 1: I was doing something all hours of both days of
Speaker 1: the weekend. How was the Blue Door Bat. It was fantastic.
Speaker 1: They raised a lot of money. I'm not at liberty
Speaker 1: to say how much they raised, but they raised a
Speaker 1: lot of money. We were going to help out a
Speaker 1: lot of kids across southern California, more specifically in the
Speaker 1: Carson area, and it was just a well received event.
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of great feedback from the multiple
Speaker 1: interviews we had with participants here on later with Mo Kelly,
Speaker 1: and I look forward to doing it in future years.
Speaker 1: It feels really good. And I try to say this
Speaker 1: not to gloat, but to be clear, I don't get
Speaker 1: paid for that. I'm doing it because I feel that
Speaker 1: it's important to do and I would rather give my time.
Speaker 1: And it's a fundraiser. I'm not trying to get money
Speaker 1: from a fundraiser. It's just weird to me. Other people do.
Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't. That's one of the things that
Speaker 1: I look forward to every single year because I like
Speaker 1: to be able to say I had a hand in
Speaker 1: helping raise money a lot of money to help a
Speaker 1: lot of children. I'm all about children and I'm all
Speaker 1: about education. Kind of works together, so it's a It's
Speaker 1: a perfect fit for me. Shout out to Kim Richards,
Speaker 1: who is the CEO for the Boys and Girls Club
Speaker 1: of Carson putting on a phenomenal event. Nina Patel as well,
Speaker 1: the vice president of development. Can't wait to do it
Speaker 1: next year. And they always have a great I want
Speaker 1: to take a moment here. They always have a great venue.
Speaker 1: One year they did it at Dignity Health where what
Speaker 1: used to be what do they call it wherever the
Speaker 1: Chargers used to play in Carson? Yes, thank you, I'm
Speaker 1: come to Depot Center. It's now Dignity Health. They did
Speaker 1: it one year at Bemo Stadium, which is where the
Speaker 1: LA Football Club plays right off the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 1: They did it at the Porsche Carson Carson Porsche Experience
Speaker 1: a couple of years there. They always have these fantastic
Speaker 1: venues and this year it was you know, it was
Speaker 1: one of the same at Sofi Stadium. It was just great.
Speaker 1: Great for the venue, a loan saying nothing of the cause,
Speaker 1: and also the contributions, A great turnout. It's a great turnout.
Speaker 1: It's about maybe three hundred attendees. Wow, because it's maxed
Speaker 1: out at a certain point because they have tables and
Speaker 1: seats and dinners off Saturdays. Oh yeah, good cause that
Speaker 1: is a great turnout. But it wasn't a long evening.
Speaker 1: You know, the evening starts at seven o'clock. We were
Speaker 1: done by nine oh five. Wow, now was there since three?
Speaker 1: Because they had like a run through and rehearsal everything,
Speaker 1: But the event itself it flows so oh. I will
Speaker 1: say this shout out to Marathon Patrol who donated one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Let me just say that,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars one donor. That's how
Speaker 1: we got down. So it was a great weekend in
Speaker 1: that regard. Busy but great. It's Later with Mokelly. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about seven to eleven and that latest
Speaker 1: ransacking and mobbing when we come back.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: By now you've probably seen. If you haven't seen, just
Speaker 1: turn on your TV. It's on loop. You've seen the
Speaker 1: footage of the mob which attacked a seven eleven store
Speaker 1: in Orange County yesterday. It left the store clerk with
Speaker 1: a bloody nose. That goodness, he wasn't more seriously injured.
Speaker 1: And you could tell there was footage by the surveillance cameras.
Speaker 1: There was footage obviously by people who were there and
Speaker 1: were stupid enough to upload it to social media. They
Speaker 1: will be caught. So I don't think that is an issue.
Speaker 1: But I did come to some realization and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that I'm the only one who started this. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying this at all. I'm saying that I think
Speaker 1: if there is a common thread woven through all these
Speaker 1: flash mob ransackings and seven elevens, it's this and Tuala
Speaker 1: and I did not tell you this before the show,
Speaker 1: so tell me what you think of it. We were
Speaker 1: always theorizing out loud why was it always seven to eleven?
Speaker 1: And I said it had to be something with the
Speaker 1: setup of configuration or something, because it's only seven to eleven.
Speaker 1: It must be a more attractive target. And then I
Speaker 1: kept reading back to the old stories, and then it
Speaker 1: hit me. The lottery tickets. If you go into a
Speaker 1: seven eleven, the lottery tickets are on the counter more
Speaker 1: times than not yet available to the hand. It may
Speaker 1: be behind a little bit of a plastic, but it's still,
Speaker 1: you know, available to someone's going to come in the
Speaker 1: store with bad intentions. Now, if you go into most ampms,
Speaker 1: they have like a lexand wall. Yeah, you're not getting there.
Speaker 3: The all all the lottery tickets in seven eleven. I
Speaker 3: know this because I go to seven eleven in the morning.
Speaker 3: They give them a coffee, grab a little lottery ticket.
Speaker 3: All their scratchers are right there under a little glass
Speaker 3: like partition on the counter for you.
Speaker 1: On the counter.
Speaker 3: But if you go behind the counter, you can just
Speaker 3: pull all those things off and.
Speaker 1: There's nothing keeping you from hopping the counter.
Speaker 3: Nothing, no, nothing, absolutely nothing, not even the older individuals
Speaker 3: that are there for some reason another. Every time I
Speaker 3: go there during a morning shift, it is usually an
Speaker 3: older individual working there. Later on the afternoon, maybe it's
Speaker 3: the sun, maybe it's the nephew, the brother coming in.
Speaker 3: It's typically an younger gentleman.
Speaker 1: But still it's those either one guy. There's usually one
Speaker 1: guy in there. But see, there are two things I
Speaker 1: would say to that. One. We always say like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's seven to eleven, you know, it's not worth your life.
Speaker 1: And I would say like, it's probably a family operation.
Speaker 1: So the people working in there, they feel much more
Speaker 1: connected to it than the average employer, you know, working
Speaker 1: at any convenience store. That's the first thing. Second, when
Speaker 1: I was watching this video again, it's been on loop
Speaker 1: all day long, and you see a guy. All of
Speaker 1: them are like hoodies and sweatshts. They're very conscious to
Speaker 1: cover even their arms. They don't want you to know
Speaker 1: even their ethnicity or anything which might be identifiable. Going
Speaker 1: back to the kids who are identified by their parents,
Speaker 1: there's an escalation. Now, before it was just a ransacking,
Speaker 1: they would leave the clerk alone. This time they engage
Speaker 1: the clerk. They threatened him with a big rock and
Speaker 1: he ended up with a bloody nose. I'm not asking
Speaker 1: for this to happen, but i do know how things escalate.
Speaker 1: If the violence from the would be criminals escalate, those
Speaker 1: who are running the businesses are going to respond in kind.
Speaker 1: They're going to protect themselves. They're going to protect their property.
Speaker 1: And if I were an owner of a seven eleven,
Speaker 1: if I were an employee at a seven to eleven,
Speaker 1: each time I walk into that place, I have to assume,
Speaker 1: especially in southern California, I would have to assume that
Speaker 1: I'm a potential target, a likely target, and there may
Speaker 1: be some fifty individuals now who don't have any reservations
Speaker 1: about harming me as well as ransacking the store. So
Speaker 1: having nothing to do with trying to protect the store
Speaker 1: and protect the property and protect the product, I have
Speaker 1: to protect myself. I think this escalates even more because
Speaker 1: even though in credit to the police and law enforcement
Speaker 1: by arresting a lot of these individuals who are involved,
Speaker 1: it's not dissuading other groups because they said, it's like
Speaker 1: fifty people that it's not dissuading them. These are now
Speaker 1: the copycats. I don't believe it's the same group. When
Speaker 1: you're talking about Orange County and you're talking about in
Speaker 1: the Wiltshire area, these are not the same kids. It
Speaker 1: just not. So these are copycats and it can happen
Speaker 1: then anywhere any neighborhood, presumably because I don't think that
Speaker 1: Orange County neighborhood was the same demographic, economic demographic as
Speaker 1: the Wilshire area. I might be wrong, but I don't
Speaker 1: think it was. You're going to see most likely an escalation,
Speaker 1: and God help us when it does.
Speaker 3: I am going to put out a theory only because
Speaker 3: at one point in time, I was one of those
Speaker 3: kids that are out in front of you know, supermarket,
Speaker 3: selling candy right with the fake story of made up
Speaker 3: this that or the other. I'm out here raising money
Speaker 3: for whatever team, whatever, whatever whatever, selling chocolate bars that
Speaker 3: we go get at the nine to nine cents store
Speaker 3: and go out and try to sell them to you
Speaker 3: for like five dollars. That was me, right, And I
Speaker 3: know there was an individual in Pasadena who would organize
Speaker 3: all of us put like nine ten kids in the
Speaker 3: van and we and drop us off in front of stores.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I don't believe that these attacks are as rand as
Speaker 3: we are made to believe because it's kids. I believe,
Speaker 3: just like with the ransacking in Nortrum's Mall this same
Speaker 3: past weekend, that was organized and they've caught damn near
Speaker 3: all of them, I believe that there is some level
Speaker 3: of organization where there is someone who is gathering these
Speaker 3: kids together. I don't care if it's two or three
Speaker 3: individuals gathering together and saying we're gonna hit this one today,
Speaker 3: because it is too similar for it to be just
Speaker 3: some kids texting and saying, hey, we're going to do this,
Speaker 3: let's go. I don't believe it's that that loose in planning.
Speaker 1: Let me let me probe that even further, and I
Speaker 1: would then ask what is the end game? Because if
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, if I'm not mistaken, the lottery tickets,
Speaker 1: especially the scratch offs, they have serial numbers, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can redeem them, because I'm quite sure
Speaker 1: they're gonna catalog that which is stolen in the serial
Speaker 1: numbers thereof of the lottery tickets. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're usable in any real form and outside of
Speaker 1: the lottery tickets. I don't know that the financial upside
Speaker 1: from the candy bars and you know, the knickknacks which
Speaker 1: are being solen. We don't know.
Speaker 3: And to me, it's about if it was just one
Speaker 3: seven eleven and say an ampn But there's something about
Speaker 3: all of the things that they're gathering that by themselves. No,
Speaker 3: but in great numbers. Then you start to have something.
Speaker 3: Then you start to have a supply where you can
Speaker 3: do something else with it.
Speaker 1: No, it's not a coincidence. Yeah, it's I just don't
Speaker 1: believe it's a coinci. Yeah, I'm thinking, I'm going up
Speaker 1: and down the aisles with my mind. Is are there
Speaker 1: like pseudo fat tablets in the aisle where they can
Speaker 1: use for the creation of other drugs since they've locked
Speaker 1: those down in most write aids and drug stores, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a misdirection for something else. No,
Speaker 1: when you're only hitting seven elevens, it's not a coincidence.
Speaker 1: It's a pattern. It's just a matter of what's behind
Speaker 1: the pattern. And I'm surprised, honestly that seven to eleven
Speaker 1: on a corporate level has not stepped in and done
Speaker 1: something statewide to better protect them, or at least go
Speaker 1: through some sort of motion to increase level of security,
Speaker 1: even if they had temporary security members there or something,
Speaker 1: because there's city ducks and they're being used as targets
Speaker 1: just about every single week. Yeah, Yeah, it's Later with
Speaker 1: mo Kelly. Can if I Am six forty live everywhere
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app and when we come back, we
Speaker 1: will tell you the cities with the worst drivers in
Speaker 1: the country, and California is represented somewhere in there, probably
Speaker 1: because of Mark Runner and his antics.
Speaker 2: Don't quote me on that, but probably you will not
Speaker 2: scapegoat me. I forbid it.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: And maybe your city is on this list, the list
Speaker 1: of the cities with the worst drivers in the country.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this to be funny. We're talking
Speaker 1: about the number of fatalities per one hundred thousand people,
Speaker 1: crash fatalities and fatalities involving a driver with a positive
Speaker 1: blood alcohol content above the legal limit per one hundred thousand, okay,
Speaker 1: And they little it down to a crash score. And
Speaker 1: this is a research team of a Consumer Affairs Group
Speaker 1: study and these are their findings based on NHTSA, the
Speaker 1: National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations latest data, which is twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Didn't have twenty twenty three. But we can
Speaker 1: give you the twenty five worst cities, but we're not.
Speaker 1: We'll only give you the top ten of the worst cities,
Speaker 1: coming in at number ten. As far as fatalities and
Speaker 1: also drunk driving driving under the influence fatalities, Saint Louis
Speaker 1: with a crash score of fifty two point three per
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, coming in at number nine, Midland, Texas
Speaker 1: with a score of fifty two point eight coming in
Speaker 1: at number eight. As far as the worst drivers are
Speaker 1: most dangerous drivers actually in the United States backpons number eight,
Speaker 1: fifty three point seven, Number seven, Wichita Falls, Texas, not
Speaker 1: to be confused with Wichita, Kansas, fifty four point six,
Speaker 1: number six of the worst drivers in the United States
Speaker 1: with respect to fatalities and also fatalities connected to driving
Speaker 1: under the influence. Tucson, arare Zona number five. In any
Speaker 1: list of the worst, Mississippi must be represented. Jackson, Mississippi
Speaker 1: checks in at number five with fifty six point one
Speaker 1: crash score, coming in at number four. California hits the
Speaker 1: list with San Bernardissippi. Yeah, sanm Bernissippi. Travel to the
Speaker 1: sam Bernissippi? Do you mark?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: And I guess I won't be at this rate. Number
Speaker 1: that was number four, So number three Macon, Georgia sixty
Speaker 1: three point four. If I were to make any type
Speaker 1: of grand generalizations, mostly in the South and Southwest, mostly
Speaker 1: number two, I said mostly, And here's why not completely Victorville, California,
Speaker 1: which is kind of like the South. If you've ever
Speaker 1: been to Victorville, it is very South esque South Adjason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you could close your eyes and then open it
Speaker 1: with like, is this Mississippi? Is this Arkansas? No, it's Victorville.
Speaker 1: It's one of the same. I know they do not
Speaker 1: like that, but it's true. If you've been to Victorville,
Speaker 1: I mean, ooh, it's ooh, love you Victorville not really
Speaker 1: coming in in number one of the worst drivers in
Speaker 1: these United States with respect to fatalities and drunk driving fatalities. Memphis,
Speaker 1: Tennessee must be all on Beal Street. Memphis. I've been
Speaker 1: to Memphis, but I haven't really spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time to assess it. But you know that I can
Speaker 1: see it, but it doesn't seem more dangerous. Maybe they're
Speaker 1: just much more permissive. Everyone's loaded. I actually thought LA
Speaker 1: would have been on this list. I really did. Sam
Speaker 1: Bernardino is not LA, but close enough to LA where
Speaker 1: I thought LA would also be on it.
Speaker 3: The only reason LA's not on it is because of
Speaker 3: the fatalities and the fatalities due to impair driving. We
Speaker 3: do have some of the worst driver's hands down. So
Speaker 3: if this was just worst drivers that cause like road
Speaker 3: rage or double mark Ronners, then yes, this is absolutely
Speaker 3: on the list. But our drivers they drive really bad
Speaker 3: and they try to kill you.
Speaker 1: They're not but they're not. You know, They're kill rader
Speaker 1: is not very high. They deserve a round double Mark Ronners.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how I feel about that. You should
Speaker 1: be proud. No, let's let's make this one still born. Okay,
Speaker 1: cool golle. No, Let's give it a double runner. I
Speaker 1: like it. I don't like the bird anymore. I love
Speaker 1: a double runner. That's what you're getting. Let's fill in
Speaker 1: the list only Monday. What's wrong with you too?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: We got a long way to go. A long week
Speaker 1: for you. Let's fill in the list. Number twenty five
Speaker 1: on the list was Knoxville, Tennessee. Twenty four was Dallas.
Speaker 1: Here you go, Mark, tell me where this is. Number
Speaker 1: twenty three is Everett, Washington.
Speaker 2: Oh. That's north of Seattle about half hour. I think, okay,
Speaker 2: that's surprising. I had no clue.
Speaker 1: Twenty two Detroit, Michigan. Twenty one Little Rock, Arkansas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty Dayton, Ohio. Nineteen Richardson, Texas. Eighteen Odessa, Texas. A
Speaker 1: lot of Texas. Yeah, it's not a coincidence, evidently. Number
Speaker 1: seventeen bird manham My bye Ba. Number sixteen Waterbury, Connecticut.
Speaker 1: I don't know where that is, but Connecticut is not
Speaker 1: a big state. Number fifteen Davy, Florida. Never heard of Davy, anyone, anyone?
Speaker 1: Pueler No. Number fourteen, North Charleston, South Carolina. That alone.
Speaker 1: Number thirteen Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I believe that. I believe
Speaker 1: everyone's drunk all the time in Florida. Number twelve Pompino Beach, Florida.
Speaker 1: Old and drunk. Yeah. Number eleven Pueblo, Colorado. And you
Speaker 1: know the top ten, but still no la. I really
Speaker 1: am surprised that they were anywhere that weren't anywhere near
Speaker 1: this list.
Speaker 3: Nah, not surprising a lot again, bad drivers versus uh
Speaker 3: driver fatalities and people drinking and driving California, I.
Speaker 1: Mean bad and death or not too far apart. When
Speaker 1: I see the people just driving recklessly down the five
Speaker 1: Freeway we even in and out, assuming that I see
Speaker 1: them motorcycles and actual cars, I'm thinking like, oh, we
Speaker 1: have to be racking up the fatalities, if only because
Speaker 1: southern California, especially in LA, we have so many freeways.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that there are more fatalities per day than
Speaker 1: other big cities, but the data doesn't support that. I
Speaker 1: passed by this morning.
Speaker 3: I was running late to work because there was a
Speaker 3: three car pile up at two ten one to eighteen
Speaker 3: five four or five entertains right around there, and it
Speaker 3: was horrible. But all three passengers are outside their car
Speaker 3: yelling at each other.
Speaker 1: Look, I count my lucky stars every day I make
Speaker 1: it to work, make it home from work. I do
Speaker 1: not take it for granted. There's more distracted driving than ever.
Speaker 1: They're more a holes than ever, they're more impatient a
Speaker 1: holes than ever. People are just angry all the damn
Speaker 1: time on the road and it's like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to make eye contact with you. I don't. I'm definitely
Speaker 1: not doing a Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2: A double mount. Don't ever do that. Now, leave that
Speaker 2: to the professional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't do that because I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: escalate anythings, because I'm just I'm trying to keep that
Speaker 1: portion of my life behind me, and there's always someone
Speaker 1: who's younger, dumber, with more to prove and less to lose,
Speaker 1: so I try to stay steer clear of that.
Speaker 2: I've been trying to find a place walking distance to
Speaker 2: work for roughly three and a half years now, because
Speaker 2: if I legitimately feel like I've cheated death thousands of
Speaker 2: times coming in here.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying, though, with all that being said, if
Speaker 1: I should happen to be in front of a seven
Speaker 1: eleven or near a seven eleven and I'm between them
Speaker 1: and the door, I don't know how I'd respond. You
Speaker 1: might just have to fly into it like the homelander. Look,
Speaker 1: someone may catch one that night. I'm going to get
Speaker 1: more catch one. What elbow men infection? Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: they're gonna catch one. An inflection. Yeah, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to make a decision either gonna rob seven to eleven
Speaker 1: or they're gonna deal with me. It's not gonna be both.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be both. And I will potshot on
Speaker 1: the way in, pot shot on the way out, taking
Speaker 1: free shots at them fearsome. Look, I mean, it's hard
Speaker 1: for me to stand by and do nothing. If I
Speaker 1: if look, if I know that they're kids and they're
Speaker 1: most likely not carrying any heat, let's go. You're gonna
Speaker 1: give them a fist full of tough love. No, I
Speaker 1: want to kick them in their kneecaps. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do a foot of a shoe full of tough love. Yes,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, It's just it's not my makeup to just
Speaker 1: do nothing. I don't like bullies and I don't like criminals.
Speaker 1: So it's hard for me to do absolutely nothing, especially
Speaker 1: if there's not a threat of death involved. Then maybe
Speaker 1: for them, because I believe this, someone's gonna get shot
Speaker 1: they keep doing this, I really do. I'm not condoning it,
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating it. I'm just saying, if you keep
Speaker 1: escalating it, that's the likely outcome. And that's also you know,
Speaker 1: advice for you, Mark, stop escalating. No, I wouldn't dream
Speaker 1: of it. I live in mortal terror of you and
Speaker 1: your shoes, not me. I'm talking about when you're out
Speaker 1: there giving double runners.
Speaker 2: Oh well, my statement, Hold are you like?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you robbing seven eleven's two? Look at
Speaker 1: the time, I am six forty. We're live everywhere in
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Are you also being bombarded with all these Well they're
Speaker 1: not supposed to be robo calls, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: But these phone calls of an automated nature, these texts
Speaker 1: from all these different political candidates or propositions or super packs.
Speaker 1: How is it to get our number? I didn't sign
Speaker 1: up for these lists. Well, let me give you some
Speaker 1: information about what you can or can't do to stop
Speaker 1: some of these annoying calls and texts from political campaigns
Speaker 1: and also political operatives. Because sometimes many times it's not
Speaker 1: for a particular candidate. It could be for an issue,
Speaker 1: could be for a proposition, it could be for any
Speaker 1: number of reasons. Because a lot of this information is
Speaker 1: shared between organizations. Give you an example, I'm on a
Speaker 1: press and media list. These different publicists and organizations. They
Speaker 1: will send me emails of everything they're doing. It may
Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing to do with my show. It would
Speaker 1: never be a fit for my show to Walla's autumn
Speaker 1: as well. We get all the spam and email and
Speaker 1: we've never given our email to any of these people.
Speaker 1: But you end up and this includes voter data on
Speaker 1: these lists and you're spammed incessantly. Let me give you
Speaker 1: some of the law and what you can and can't
Speaker 1: do and where a lot of these organizations and businesses
Speaker 1: they're running a foul of the law because there are
Speaker 1: no consequences. Registered telemarketers are not legally allowed to contact
Speaker 1: anyone on the Do Not Call registry. Remember that National
Speaker 1: Do Not Call Registry that was supposed to help alleviate
Speaker 1: some of this. Well, their limitations to it. Because registered
Speaker 1: telemarketers are legally not allowed to contact anyone on the
Speaker 1: National Do Not Call Registry list for sales purposes? Did
Speaker 1: you get that? For sales purposes? And they can be
Speaker 1: fined if they're found in violation of sales purposes. Political
Speaker 1: calls and texts are exempted. Campaigns or affiliated groups can
Speaker 1: legally contact you and me through calls or texts, regardless
Speaker 1: of whether you and I have consented. And that's according
Speaker 1: to the FCC. So it doesn't matter how they got
Speaker 1: your number, it doesn't matter where they got your number.
Speaker 1: Yes you can block the number. Yes you can reply
Speaker 1: if it's a text saying to opt out or to stop.
Speaker 1: We all know that I do it every single time,
Speaker 1: and they don't stop. They keep going, and it keeps
Speaker 1: happening almost every single day. And I'm here to tell
Speaker 1: you I'm the bearer of bad news. There's really not
Speaker 1: anything you can do about it. There's not a lot.
Speaker 1: It's not that it's only illegal, it's excuse me, it's
Speaker 1: not that it's illegal, it's legal. And there's really nothing
Speaker 1: you can do to prevent it from happening again from
Speaker 1: more different places. So the next political campaign season you
Speaker 1: will have more texts from different candidates and different super
Speaker 1: PACs and groups supporting different propositions. There's really no way
Speaker 1: to to prevent this outside of just changing your number
Speaker 1: or and this is something I can't do and I
Speaker 1: don't want to do. Some people have their phone set up,
Speaker 1: if you know how to do it, where if there
Speaker 1: is a number which is not in your contacts, it
Speaker 1: will automatically route those calls to your voicemail. I don't
Speaker 1: do that because I do enough businesses with do enough
Speaker 1: business with enough places where yes, there are people and
Speaker 1: professionals who are actually going to call me or contact
Speaker 1: me who may not be in my contacts. There are
Speaker 1: times where like BBC will call me from Scotland and
Speaker 1: it will show it up as unavailable as far as
Speaker 1: the caller ID, and I can choose not to respond
Speaker 1: or I can pick it up and I don't have
Speaker 1: my voicemail. I don't have any identifying information on my voicemail.
Speaker 1: If you know it to me, you know it's me.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get a message saying Hi, this
Speaker 1: is Moe Kelly. Please leave a message with your name
Speaker 1: and number. Not get back to you. No, it won't
Speaker 1: be into that. I will call screen like a mother father.
Speaker 1: You know I will find out if I can't if
Speaker 1: it's you. But still there are those people who manage
Speaker 1: to find my number, usually give it out by Mark
Speaker 1: Ronner because he doesn't like me and he thinks it's funny.
Speaker 1: You see how Tawala gives out my social media because
Speaker 1: he thinks it's funny.
Speaker 2: I enjoy giving out your social media as well. I'll
Speaker 2: admit it right.
Speaker 1: Now, And since you do have my number, I firmly
Speaker 1: believe that you have something to do with it.
Speaker 2: No, Actually, my gift to you most weekends is that
Speaker 2: I don't call you. I think I sent you a
Speaker 2: link to something I want you to read on Friday.
Speaker 2: But I think you're a little bit like me in
Speaker 2: the respect that you just don't want to be called.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be called ever by anybody, even
Speaker 2: people I know. And if you have to call me,
Speaker 2: I want a text telling me you're gonna call. We
Speaker 2: are one hundred percent the same in that regard. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear your voice. I don't want to
Speaker 2: talk to you because I'm doing something. I'm always multitasking
Speaker 2: in life. If I'm even watching TV, i'm multitasking. I
Speaker 2: can carry on a text conversation and not miss the
Speaker 2: show that i'd like to watch. I cannot carry on
Speaker 2: a conversation and talk to you on the phone. I
Speaker 2: try to return all phone calls and make all phone
Speaker 2: calls when I'm either on my way to work or
Speaker 2: on my way home, because I have a good hour
Speaker 2: to hour and a half of attention that I can
Speaker 2: give to you and whatever it is executive time, right,
Speaker 2: But if you.
Speaker 1: Do text me, damn it. Tell me what you need.
Speaker 1: If you need to get on the phone with me.
Speaker 1: Don't text me saying hey, give me a call. We
Speaker 1: need to get a chance. No, I will not because
Speaker 1: if I'm going to call you, I need to know why,
Speaker 1: so I can rank it in importance. Is it urgent?
Speaker 1: Is it less an urgent? Anyhow, I'm getting off the topic.
Speaker 1: But as far as the political texts and phone calls,
Speaker 1: there's really not a lot you can do about it.
Speaker 1: It is within the law. It has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the National Do Not Call Registry. That's the bad news.
Speaker 1: The good news is there are a lot of apps
Speaker 1: out there, and there are a lot of settings that
Speaker 1: you can on your phone, and maybe this might be
Speaker 1: a great topic for me and Marsha Callier to go
Speaker 1: over and really drill down on this and tighten up
Speaker 1: your settings so fewer of those calls get through. I
Speaker 1: can automatically block and I won't get a notification for
Speaker 1: a message. They will not be allowed to text me,
Speaker 1: they cannot leave a voicemail message. That's how I cope
Speaker 1: with it. But as far as getting your number removed,
Speaker 1: and this is the real takeaway, there's no way you
Speaker 1: can get your number removed from these different lists. It
Speaker 1: is legal for them to get the number. However, they
Speaker 1: get the number, and it is legal for them to
Speaker 1: contact you, and they're annoying as hell, and there's nothing
Speaker 1: you can do about it. I'm just full of good
Speaker 1: news tonight. If I am six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, what the hell is going on? Well,
Speaker 1: we're about to tell you. K f IHD two Los Angeles,
