WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:23.079 I Mo Kelly. 2 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.280 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio Apple. We have a 3 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.440 tremendous show for you tonight. Yes, we have a Metro 4 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.320 update next segment. But nobody died, nobody got stabbed. I mean, 5 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.719 to my knowledge, maybe someone's getting stabbed right now, but 6 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.159 I don't have any information on that. 7 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.320 But we have an update that the K line. 8 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.119 Is going to be extended, and they're asking for input from. 9 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.000 You and me. 10 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.000 Oh, they asked the wrong one. I'll give them all 11 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.840 the suggestions they could ever want. In an LA City 12 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.880 Council might be gearing up for a fight with Mayor 13 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.240 Bass over LAPD discipline. 14 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.000 We'll tell you about that. 15 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.880 And the LA City Council is also considering a guaranteed 16 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:09.719 income for certain people. Southwest Airlines did you know, you know, 17 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.599 for all the computer problems they've had in recent years, 18 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.840 did you know that they're still running Windows three point 19 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.000 one three point one? 20 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.239 Do you know when Windows three point one came out? 21 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.560 It was when Stephen was three years old. When were 22 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.760 you born? Eighty eight? Okay, yeah, ninety two, so you're 23 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.879 like three and a half turn four. Yeah. Windows three 24 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.480 point one came out in nineteen ninety. 25 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.879 Two, and there's so much more tonight, but before we 26 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.120 get to all of that, and that's a great show 27 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.719 back from his mini vacation is none other than the 28 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.400 to Walla Sharp and it's a momentous occasion as he 29 00:01:52.760 --> 00:02:00.719 actually dared to go out on the water. Welcome back. 30 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.760 I see you made it back safely. Go ahead and 31 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.359 tell the people what happened or what didn't happen. Well, 32 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.039 I did not get on that one boat that caught 33 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.039 on fire. What are you talking about on its way 34 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.800 to Catalina. We're talking about our boat made it to Catalina. 35 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:21.919 And it was in the beginning, I will say. Looking 36 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.919 at the water, I said, ah, blank blank blank blankety blank, 37 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.000 and then another blank. 38 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.599 It could be choppy going to Catalina. 39 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:36.479 Yes, getting on the boat, I was tense, but I said, 40 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:41.360 you know what I see? Children aboard this boat looked 41 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:46.639 like scouts with backpacks ready for camping in Catalina. I 42 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.280 saw the elderly, I saw all. I don't see even 43 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.680 a pregnant lady on the boat. I said, damn it. Oh, 44 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.960 your ego and manhood took over absolutely and I was 45 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.879 done at that point, and I said, just enjoy the ride. 46 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.960 And I did that water looked extremely deep. 47 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.919 It was you couldn't touch the bottom. I couldn't touch 48 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.639 the bottom, wouldn't even dream of it. But going wasn't 49 00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.039 as bad as I thought. I just took a nice 50 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.360 breath and just chilled. And the trip out there was 51 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.439 actually really really cool. 52 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.680 Wasn't it like thirty minutes or so? No? 53 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.039 No, no, no, getting out there its closer to an hour, 54 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.479 close to an hour to getting over there is about 55 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.000 an hour, maybe a little more than an hour. It 56 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:35.680 was sunny Catalene. It was really sunny, beautiful place to visit. 57 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.360 You know, you visit, you walk around. 58 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:37.879 It's like. 59 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.960 Melrose on the island or Santa Barbara on the island. 60 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.759 You know, just one main strip of tourists like attractions. 61 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.719 You know, if you're into snorkeling, go, if you want 62 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.319 to get on a glass bottom. 63 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.879 Boat, go. Don't they have ziplining? They have ziplining. I 64 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.520 don't know if it was up and running, but they 65 00:03:58.599 --> 00:03:58.919 have it. 66 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.000 I wouldn't have done it, like I wouldn't have gotten 67 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.680 on the glass bottom boat. There's enough getting on the 68 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.560 boat pier. I only need a boat where the bottom 69 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.000 is clear. Don't need to see that much ocean. 70 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:09.360 Okay. 71 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.719 I enjoyed my time out there, and one of the 72 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.439 most exciting things was when we got to the docks 73 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.800 and were ready to take off, I saw the very 74 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.000 cruise ship that we will be boarding on the Labor 75 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.639 Day cruise, the actual Labor Day cruise. I know we 76 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.560 go to the Labor Day cruising and oce but no, 77 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.480 this is an actual cruise on the boat I saw 78 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:38.160 the actual ship. 79 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.160 For those who don't know, Tuala has an aversion to 80 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.759 water like I do. Bees, so this was a huge 81 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.680 step for him. Huge to get on a boat. This 82 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.759 was a boat a boat, and next month, right around 83 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.519 no thirty days from now, will be getting on a 84 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.519 ship as my family and his family will be, you know, 85 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.519 going on a short three day cruise down to Ensnada. 86 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.160 I have some important follow up questions. Yes, Tauwala, did 87 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.319 you at any point where a pair of water wings 88 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.720 with any kind of superhero signage on them? 89 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.560 He had floaties he was wearing. No, Now, you know 90 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.639 it's interesting. I did pay close attention to where where 91 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.800 the life vests were on the little skipper type boat 92 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:23.560 that we went out on getting there. 93 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.319 It wasn't a skipper. 94 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.639 It was a nice ized boat, but I thought about 95 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.319 that the entire time. I constantly thought to myself, if 96 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.680 if anything happens, like say, if this boat does, you know, 97 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.959 hit a well or something, a pod of orcas and 98 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.519 they try to attack, I said to myself, giant shirk 99 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.839 that too. I said, make sure you get a hold 100 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.519 of life vest for family, and if they're not enough, 101 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.959 there are gonna be people who are beaten within an 102 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:52.800 inch of their life. 103 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.959 So I make sure that we failed it. 104 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.040 You're going to make sure that you have a life 105 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.000 jacket before the scouts. 106 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.560 And the l olderly did you are damn right. 107 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.879 Oh see, now you know how I feel when I 108 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.279 say I will kill everyone in the room. 109 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.839 If I said exactly in my mind, I said to myself, 110 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.399 everyone in this boat will die. But so I can 111 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.399 get to a vest, I said that to myself, I'm 112 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.199 getting a vest. I think I stared probably at those 113 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.480 benches more than I did the water, because that's where 114 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.120 the vests were. 115 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.000 The hell with the women and children. If there's a 116 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.560 giant octopus attacking, you know what you. 117 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.040 Have to do. I thought about the squids, Yeah, of 118 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:31.480 course you did. 119 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.680 I only would have been concerned if I saw Jason 120 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.319 Statham on the boat. Other than that, I would have 121 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.079 been fine, it's all bad. You know, Roy Scheider, he's dead. 122 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.800 I don't have to worry about that. So but if 123 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.879 Jason Statham showed up, it was like, yeah, might be 124 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.759 a problem, big warning son in there. It's like I 125 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.680 don't see any cameras well, welcome back to all. 126 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:51.560 Yeah, it was. 127 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.839 Fun and I really, really and truly truly believe that 128 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.279 that helped out in preparation for the cruise. And I 129 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.160 believe you when you say I will fill it a 130 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.959 lot less on the cruise because we felt when the 131 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.199 boat left the harbor, because going out, you know, kind 132 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.680 of tugs out, but once it leaves, it gets past 133 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.120 like the little beacons or whatever. That thing takes off 134 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.800 and you fell all of that. 135 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.360 So yeah, you won't feel any of that. You you 136 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.600 will have to. You will be surprised when you realize, oh, 137 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.839 we're moving. It's almost imperceptible. And if your stateroom is 138 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:29.040 not near the actual engine, you won't feel any real 139 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.439 motion at all. You won't even be able to perceive 140 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.800 the motion unless you are looking out a porthole or 141 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:38.560 you're on deck and you can see in the sea 142 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.240 and then have a reference point to see the ship moving. 143 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.839 It's only moving like maybe twenty twenty five knots or so, 144 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.120 it's not that fast. Interesting. Yeah, so you have a 145 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:48.240 good time. Yeah, I'm ready. 146 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.839 I'm ready, and maybe next year we'll take Mark and 147 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:52.800 Stephan absolutely not see. 148 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.560 Look Mark, it's literally not as bad as you think. 149 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.240 Uh, well, it couldn't be. I've got quite an imagination. 150 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:04.800 I've got. I mean, I like to bust on you 151 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.279 about being afraid of deep water, but I'm petrified of 152 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:08.839 deep water. 153 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.800 He's seen too many movies. 154 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.800 How the hell can you be a lifeguard and be 155 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:14.120 petrified of deep water? 156 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:18.439 Well, there were conflicts. I had to jump in and 157 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.639 save a little girl once, and I was really pissed. 158 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.040 I had to get my hair wet. I'll just say 159 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.959 that and move on. It's Later with mo Kelly. I 160 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:25.680 am six forty. 161 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.560 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and we have 162 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.919 a Metro line update at it's connected to pun intended 163 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:33.879 to the Hollywood Bowl. 164 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.159 You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from 165 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.799 KFI AM sixty. 166 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.320 Metro is taking public comments from folks like you and me, 167 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.120 But they want you to comment on this new plan 168 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.279 to extend the K line up through Hollywood. And if 169 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.039 you've ever ridden the Metro, the K line is I 170 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.720 think the which I think is the Blue line or 171 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.200 something I don't know. I don't know which one is 172 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.360 a K line, oh, the Orange line. All they have 173 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.639 these proposals which would connect the K line to the 174 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.240 D line, which I remember is the Purple line on 175 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.960 Wilshire Boulevard, and the B line, which I knew was 176 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.679 the Red line at Hollywood in Highland, and it could 177 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.399 include a final stop at the Hollywood Bowl. On the surface, 178 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.840 that would be a great idea. The Hollywood Bowl having 179 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.080 its own metro stop, that would be great. I've taken 180 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.279 the Metro to Hollywood and Highland, which is the closest 181 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.440 metro stop, and if you've ever done it before, you 182 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:36.879 walk up from the subway stop at Hollywood and Highland 183 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:38.519 and then you have to walk up that damn hill 184 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.320 to get all the way to the Hollywood Bowl. 185 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:41.720 If the Hollywood Bowl. 186 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.519 Had its own subway stop, we wouldn't have to deal 187 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.440 with any of that stacked parking anymore. It would be great, 188 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.120 assuming that you didn't get stabbed on the way. But 189 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.279 that's a different story for a different day. But the 190 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:58.039 logistics of it would be beneficial for anyone who wants 191 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.600 to go to the Hollywood Bowl, which it's a great video. 192 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.600 Then I started reading the other unfortunate details. Check this 193 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:13.919 out the project. Let's say it was approved. The project 194 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:18.720 is expected to break ground in twenty forty one. 195 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.519 Wait, what. 196 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.159 Twenty forty one, and it wouldn't be completed until twenty 197 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.440 forty seven or twenty forty nine, meaning to while your 198 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.759 children's children will be probably out of high school by then, 199 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:43.120 so not finished by twenty forty one, starting starting forty one, 200 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.840 starting in seventeen years. And that's if everything goes to 201 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.200 plan and everything is on schedule. 202 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.159 What makes a plan take seventeen years to start? 203 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.080 Well, I think with this way, if you're going to 204 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.919 provide comment in twenty twenty four for something which starts 205 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.440 in twenty forty one, LA is not going to look 206 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.120 anything like it is now. I mean, the whole world 207 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.480 is gonna change in seventeen years, much less twenty four 208 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.240 twenty five years from now. 209 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.120 I don't know. 210 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.279 And that's been the problem with the subway system. Since 211 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.080 the beginning, it's always been a good twenty five years 212 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.080 behind schedule. And if we're talking about one or two 213 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:28.559 new subway stops twenty five years from now, sorry, I 214 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.840 don't know what I can really offer to the discussion. 215 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.120 There's not even a likelihood I'm going to be alive 216 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.080 by then, and if I am, I'm going to be 217 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:36.360 drooling and incontinent. 218 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:36.879 Wait. 219 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:41.120 Wait, wait, This plan, which isn't starting for seventeen years, 220 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.600 is already expected to cost two point two billion. 221 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.480 Dollars in twenty twenty four money. 222 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.759 To add two more stops, Not twenty forty one money, 223 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.519 but twenty twenty four money to add two stops underground. 224 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.960 With all the boring, I would rather they just do 225 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.159 an above ground light rail like they have running down 226 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.600 Crenshaw and it would take you right to the Hollywood Bowl. 227 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.759 That seems like that would be much better. 228 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.440 And it probably be less expensive, probably get it done quicker, 229 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.519 and the world would be a happier place. But if 230 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.919 I were to give my public comment on this outside 231 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.759 of KFI, they are having some public hearings. There is 232 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.799 one coming up on August ninth at Dorsey High School 233 00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.600 from ten am to twelve pm. There's going to be 234 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.080 a hearing on Tuesday, August thirteenth from six to eight 235 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.440 pm at the Pan Pacific Park Community Center, seventy six 236 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.679 hundred Beverly Boulevard. And the third hearing is going to 237 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.519 be virtual, and that's going to be Thursday the fifteenth 238 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.759 from twelve pm to one thirty pm. And they list 239 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:48.720 the zoom and call in number, So if you want 240 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.519 to call in and give your opinions on whether this 241 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.919 would be a positive or a negative for your grandchildren 242 00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.200 or your. 243 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.600 Children's children's children, then you can do that. I'm personally tula. 244 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.840 I think your kids should be on the call or 245 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.879 going to these meetings because they're the ones who are 246 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.879 going to be most impacted by it. It's not gonna 247 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.840 be made. It's not gonna be Stephan and it's not 248 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.240 gonna be Mark Ronner. Mark Ronner will be eighty five 249 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.440 by then, eighty five? 250 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.759 What lead me out of this? What's wrong with you? 251 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:17.919 No? 252 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:19.519 But you will be I'm just saying it's a point 253 00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.440 of reference. 254 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.879 Like there's no point of us even discussing or looking when. 255 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.639 To me, this is almost like Metro not keeping it real. 256 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.759 Like if you want to weigh in. They don't really 257 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.559 want to know. 258 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.480 There's no one who's who's working at Metro right now, 259 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.159 who's gonna be working at Metro twenty five years from now. 260 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.799 This is all about your descendants. 261 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.200 So it's like those old sci fi stories of a 262 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.000 multi generational ship. You're not getting to the destination, but 263 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.720 your kids and grandkids might. 264 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:49.879 I feel like this is the movie Passengers, and we're 265 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.279 all gonna be putting cryo sleep and maybe we'll get 266 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.279 to use this one day. 267 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:54.320 Yeah, that's the only way. 268 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.120 Twenty forty nine. I can't even tell you what's gonna 269 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:00.000 happen next year. I can't even tell you who's going 270 00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:02.720 to die on Metro next week. But I was going 271 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.360 to be the one who's gonna show up at the meetings, Like, 272 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.279 does anyone have any suggestions? Yes, you and the back 273 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.039 please state your name him mister mo Kelly from KFI 274 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.080 AM six forty Yes, mister mo Kelly, what do you 275 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.279 have to say? Yeah, I'd just like to recommend keV 276 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.759 larves and helmets for everyone. 277 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.480 Thank you, good night. 278 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:24.960 You know this two point two four billion dollars could 279 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:31.399 actually go towards maybe funding more police officers. Now I 280 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.639 think if Metro wants want suggestions and they have a 281 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.559 budget in mind, let's fix the Metro system. 282 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:39.759 No no, no, no, no no. 283 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.679 And honestly, this probably wasn't even ready for prime time. 284 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.879 But they have to break up the negative news from 285 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:47.320 people like me, so they have to put out a 286 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.480 press release. They have to put out something saying, hey, 287 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.240 Metro is expanding. Hey, Metro's going to be bringing this 288 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.120 to you in your town, and this is going to 289 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:59.000 make the Hollywood Bowl more accessible for who when the 290 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.759 Hollywood Ball maybe torn down in twenty forty nine. 291 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:03.600 I'm not trying to be funny. 292 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.440 Don't guarantee that any venue is going to be here 293 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.559 twenty five years from now. 294 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.720 Well, here's the bright side. They're selling it the wrong way. 295 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.799 The thing is, when it's finally finished, this big project, 296 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.759 nobody will be getting shot with guns anymore. We'll all 297 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:21.200 be using laser pistols. No, yes, you's your hair quotes lazer. Yeah, 298 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.159 we'll all be using ray guns. 299 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.919 I honestly don't. Look. 300 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.600 That's if it's on schedule, it'll break ground in twenty 301 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.919 forty one, and if it's on schedule, at its completion, 302 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.000 it'll be twenty seven, twenty forty seven to twenty forty nine. 303 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.279 They're putting in a two year window in which it 304 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:41.320 might be finished. 305 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.759 We'll have Star Trek transporters by then. It won't make 306 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.519 any difference. 307 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.519 I hope, and and the whole town will be electric 308 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.679 by then, right, it'll just be electric vehicles. 309 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.080 Oh yeah, it'll be like Logan's Run. You can just 310 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.200 call somebody up and have a quickie and send them 311 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.919 away quickie. On the electric circuit, we talk Logan's run. 312 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:04.840 Quickie up, quickie, the kind that's fast life, every type 313 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.759 of quickie. Yeah, yeah, don't pretend you haven't seen Logan's Run. 314 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.600 I won't tell. I don't know what you mean. I 315 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.759 want you to, you know, be very specific. We're talking 316 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.360 about the quikie. 317 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.559 There's a lot of people who may not have your 318 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.120 part of this conversation is in complete bad faith. 319 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.879 And I think I think we should go to the news. Okay, 320 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:25.639 we'll go to the news. Let me do my teas. 321 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.080 When we come back, we'll talk about La City Council, 322 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.600 how they may be gearing up for a possible fight 323 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.080 with Mayor Bass, and also the idea of guaranteed income 324 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.440 is expanding possibly here in LA. 325 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:38.879 And let's see if anyone will get behind that. 326 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.159 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 327 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.120 KFI AM six forty. 328 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.159 And if you follow me on social media at misterrom 329 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.639 O'Kelly on threads, or you can follow me at Later 330 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.120 with mo Kelly or at mister O'Kelly on Instagram, you 331 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.159 can find a show on Facebook. I usually get into 332 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.799 discussion about politics, but not only presidential politics. It just 333 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.200 seems like people only want to discuss presidential politics because 334 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:13.039 we're so inundated with the presidential race on cable news, 335 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.920 which most people watch disproportionately than local news. And I 336 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.359 usually start questioning folks like, do you even know any 337 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.240 of the names of the people on your city council? 338 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.759 Do you know what city council district you're in? Do 339 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.400 you know if you live in a place in unincorporated 340 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:33.240 LA which has any city council district responsible for it? 341 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.839 Like me, I don't have a city council member, as 342 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.000 I live in an unincorporated portion of LA, but the 343 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:47.960 city council, mayor LA County Board of Supervisors, those elected 344 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.599 officials have far more impact on me and you if 345 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.200 you live in the La County area, then your president. 346 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.400 Now it's fun to argue about presidential politics, but it 347 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.680 doesn't really impact you as much other than just complaining 348 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.200 and arguing on social media. But here are two things 349 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.359 that I think you should take a closer look at 350 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.759 and will impact you or your neighbor or someone around you, 351 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.559 and you'll be hearing about it later on for things 352 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.480 unrelated to it. 353 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:20.599 I know it sounds convoluted. Let me straighten it out. 354 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.000 LA City Council maybe gearing up for a fight with 355 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:32.119 the mayor over LAPD discipline. LA City Council returned today 356 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.400 from its summer recess and it's going to start considering 357 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.640 trying to override Mayor Karen Bass's recent veto of a 358 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:46.680 proposed ballot measure. The proposed ballot measure would change the 359 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:54.119 disciplinary process for LAPD officers, including expanding the chief's powers 360 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.480 to fire officers for misconduct. Now, this is something that 361 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:04.000 I didn't know. LAPD's chief can only recommend that an 362 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.160 officer be terminated and the ultimate decision. Final decision is 363 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.119 left to the Board of Rights, a three member panel 364 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.119 that serves as a quasi judicial body. The new proposal 365 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.839 would allow the chief to fire officers outright for engaging 366 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.839 in either sexual misconduct, fraud, excessive force, or abuse on duty, 367 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.119 and some other things. And if you read that against 368 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.319 the backdrop of news which is happening right now. 369 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:30.799 I think Mark Ronner talked about it. 370 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.680 I know Heather Brooker talked about it about the LAPD 371 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.720 officer who was seeing on tape punching a guy who 372 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.720 was in handcuffs in the face. That would be directly 373 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.559 related to this. If the chief has expanded authority to 374 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.920 be able to fire officers outright now. I can't speak 375 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.200 to the specifics of that case, which is still going on. 376 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.039 I can say I didn't like what I saw on 377 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.759 the video. That's for damn sure. If a person is 378 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.200 in handcuffs, I don't know if it's within department policy 379 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.480 to sock someone in their jaw. I don't think so, 380 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.240 but I'm quite sure someone will argue with me. But 381 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.519 that's something which will impact you right where you live. 382 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.200 The expanded powers, if it's allowed by the chief, and 383 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:23.720 how that might impact law enforcement procedures, that's the first thing. Second, 384 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.880 LA City Council, and I definitely want your thoughts on 385 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.680 this mark is as much as you're allowed to. La 386 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:34.480 City Council is considering expanding the guaranteed income program, but 387 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:39.440 it would include abuse victims and foster kids. And if 388 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:44.279 you didn't know, there was an original program which provided 389 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.839 one thousand dollars a month for a year to thirty 390 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.839 two hundred low income households and they're thinking about expanding 391 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.359 that program. There was a motion today which would expand 392 00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:58.720 the program, which would allocate four to five million to 393 00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:02.680 help victims of intimate partner violence, domestic violence, and foster 394 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:08.119 youth age sixteen to twenty four. Similar programs already implemented 395 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.880 in Oakland Marine County, San Francisco, and Santa Clara County. 396 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.839 If you've been paying attention, the idea of basic guaranteed income, 397 00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.079 universal income, however they want to call it, is not new, 398 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.079 but I think it will be the future everywhere. If 399 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.240 we think about this from the standpoint of automation, if 400 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.599 we think about this from the standpoint of loss of jobs, 401 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.279
